When engineered scarcity & competitive entrepreneurialism become defining features of intellectual life, terms for understanding material struggle tend to metastasize into tokens of prestige accumulation & self branding. This should be resisted.

I love surprises like getting cited in a literary critique journal article about the "whiteness of the megalodons". I haven't read the books or even seen the films but I am entertained by the notion that there is an undercurrent about male anxiety.

Professor Forbidden to Teach Plato Assigns Article About University Censorship Instead Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is using the censorship of Plato from his course syllabus to teach his students about freedom of speech

I spoke with Martin Peterson, the philosophy professor at Texas A&M University who had to remove Plato readings from a course syllabus to comply with school policies against teaching "race and gender ideology." He says he's replaced that material with media coverage of this censorship.
