My Christian propaganda continued in 2023 with two pieces both published in @ReplyCollective. Admittedly it got subtler forms 😁. If you missed it here it is in a short thread. God willing more to come in 2024! 🙏 social-epistemology.com/2023…
Christian propaganda continued in 2022 with two pieces out and one that still might find home before this year is up. If not it will be the first in the 2023. First came my thoughts on ethics and our moral life at @ReplyCollective ... social-epistemology.com/2022…

If you've read UNITED STATES OF PARANOIA, you'll know that this repeatedly attributes views to it that are the exact opposite of my positions. Worse yet: The author cc:ed me when he submitted this, and so I informed him of many of its errors. He did not bother to correct any.

The full special issue celebrating the centenary of Max Weber's "Science as a Vocation" (1919) is now online. The work discovered new trends in the social nature of science in the very making of its professional institutional structure. Read it here: bit.ly/Weber342
