after Arrival

After enlightenment which feels awesome, teaching faces audiences (students, readers, collleagues) who might care little about the enthusiasm.

Seventy years after Heidegger pursued his post-Holocaust, post-Hiroshima “question concerning technology,” the U.S. now has a Bozo administration welcoming intimations of techn-fascism.

I have the answer!—at X (screen shot there). I would argue that the humanities (U. of Penn. project) make genuine democracy possible, though I see conceptual modeling differently than the U. of Penn. project.

My extended cynicism against Bozo turns into bibliophilic hope for “moral” philosophy in conceptions of educational excellence—though being “moral,” to me, is just ethical pragmatism treated as statutory normativity.

My discussion leads into a sequenced sense of moral conceptuality which can credibly ground a post-naturalistic sense of evolutionary ethics.
