If you're a real account who follows me, but whom I have not followed back, let me know; it's a mistake.

It's embarrassing to be beaten at your own game. It's humiliating to be beaten by someone who's not even playing it.

What is the point of this exercise again? You don't see me "subjecting" myself to 1000 of pages of white American literature... I just read what I want

Probably the strongest tweet in the thread. However, the explanations for this trend are weak. The real explanation is: departments are playing "butts in seats" games with administrators. Babification happens the less powerful/more precarious the unit is.

Replying to @Scholars_Stage
social science programs often teach a babified version of their core subjects. This is not like prerequisite ladders in language, math, or science , where A leads to B leads to C, but simply a fake and impressionistic version of C.

I would also deny the humanities are less babified than the social sciences. If the subject matter isn't babified in social science and humanities courses, the enrollments will drop. Enrollment for less-babified STEM drop less, due to (often mistaken) ideas about ROI, etc.

How do you learn from mistakes? The same way we learn from anyone: by talking to them.

Nobody really brags about the things that should be bragged about. On self-promotion game.

I'm pretty sure that's not what the concept of labor exploitation explains

It’s funny how western leftists seem amazed at features of Asian societies as public infrastructure that is quickly repaired or public transportation that is always on time without seeming to realize that the secret sauce is worker exploitation

The unreality is US academia is playing legitimation games that it alone is playing. They worked in "the good old days," the golden era of US supremacy, but they haven't worked in some time. The collapse of liberal democracy makes such games increasingly irrelevant.

The liberal arts (cultural apparatus) and liberal democracy (political apparatus) supported one another. They are falling together.

They're saying philosophy is about feeling good and appreciating beauty. Nothing is said about its truth value.

Everyone knows the path to truths is watching movies, listening to music, reading novels, playing videogames, and collecting comics.
