seeing as how I helped Greg set up the discord, I think it’s most accurate to say that I recruited them all

I realized I would absolutely fail as a PHD student after spending all my time making my Latext paper look pretty rather than focusing on the actual content that's worth 30% of my grade.

"yikes" would be how I'd describe my GPA after this :'(

i'm also very trepidatious about moving to England, but the school is actually really good for my focus (continental philosophy)

there are essentially only a few dozen anglophone unis that do this type of philosophy so it's very nice

https://www.spep.org/resources/graduate-programs/

My course structure is:

Fall: Ethics and Normativity(aristotle, hegel, kant, plato) or World, Body, and Mind (Burge, Husserl, McDowell)
Spring: Ideology and the Political (Benjamin, Habermas, Horkheimer, Kircheimer, Marcuse, Neumann, Adorno, Hegel, Marx and Lukács) or Language, Art, and Representation (aesthetics)
Summer: thesis writing (I'm gonna write about Buddhist metaphysics and Marxism probably)

If any of y'all have done higher education and haven't read Walter Benjamin's writings on pedagogy

For a second I thought von Neumann was included in philosophy studies and I was like WHAT

Lendenburgh maybe I’m completely wrong but I always had this impression that philosophy involved some degree of math like set theory or something. Do philosophers do proofs?

Newton, Leibniz, and Frege were all philosophers- there’s still a very large field of Philosophy of Mathematics, and calculus basically started out as philosophy, but generally now its people who come from the math side to do philosophy rather than vice versa

There’s entire ‘schools’/branches of philosophy that use first order logic to do proofs and Alain Baidou in the 90s did a whole political treatise based on set theory, so they’re very intertwined but tend to be concerned with different questions so its usually either using philosophy to answer a math question (eg. principle of the excluded middle) or using math to answer philosophy questions (Baidou’s set theory in politics)

Helensted how would you feel about a cultural exchange agreement (by which i mean i want to pay you to have people come and start arts institutes in Texas)

Actually Mercantile Japan I'd like to do the same with you

I want the new capital to be flanked by an Italian and a Japanese quarter

Incidentally there's a very important bridge in Austin that was manufactured in Japan and assembled by Hyundai in the 1980s... I feel like this would be a good bit of lore to mention for our continued economic and cultural cooperation
