By all means, yes, let’s activate the variable meanings of words and see what we get.

I wonder in what ways we could take this further. Language, and the i […]

I think this division is interesting because Naniki definitely strikes me as the odder, more u […]

It would seem that we have 2 different strands of consideration, both of which have a great deal of overlap. On the one hand we […]

For instance in addition to the question of “what sort of violence would count and how?,” anoth […]

I was also struck by Vincent Brown’s presentation, and though I didn’t have any questions for him, I thought it brought up […]

This is an interesting claim because it opens […]

I’d kind of like to go through them in sections.

I initially read it as a reductive “West vs. East” – exemplified, for instance, in his initial discussion of having never seen […]
