I’m a big fan of the Big Debates™️ so am predisposed to not want to see them dissolved, but @quiltydunn.bsky.social made a great case at UMass today that that’s exactly what we should do with the nativist/empiricist debate

UMass just built a new building for computer science. Why do I, by contrast, along with colleagues in comp lit, languages, and other humanities depts, have to work in a building where the ceiling tiles are falling out and everything leaks? www.umass.edu/planning-des...

I mean, you COULD teach the Harvard great books course at UMass. But that would require UMass abandoning its role as a site of taxpayer subsidized workforce training and corporate predation. And we can’t have that happening.
