Returning to fedi. Reintroducing self:

Union organizer. Rogue philosopher. Sometimes a dev. Pretty good with data. Math, physics, evolution, ice cream & justice. Also sci fi, worldbuilding, poetry and tennis.

On politics. Most of my focus every day is political, more or less; and I am glad to connect with folks offline about labor and politics. I do not do a lot of political posting on social media principally for my mental health; I find myself attempting to effectuate change and only effectuating depression in exactly one person.

I am appalled by the inhumanity of our world and may occasionally post, especially as a Jew horrified by Israel's war crimes and the unrelenting desperation millions of Palestinian mothers, fathers and children are facing every day as a result; and as an American heartbroken over too much to name.

I "published" (i.e., "posted without peer review") a short book of in January, doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14665746 - there's also a practically-free Kindle version if you search for it with a pretty cover - "Ontic Vagueness: The Argument From Freedom". It's about the consequences for the structure of reality if we assume that reality is profoundly free.

I enjoy talking about this latter project; and I think the whole project only makes sense to people with some conversation as it's not in the mainline logic-of-language tradition of analytic philosophy.

Ontic Vagueness: The Argument from Freedom

Abstract   Is reality intrinsically vague? If it is, can we set a theoretical limit  on the precision with which reality can be described? And if we can, what are the observable, physical implications of that limit? This essay introduces a new philosophical argument for ontic vagueness, the argument from freedom. As it arises in the argument from freedom, ontic vagueness takes the form of the specific claim that perfect self-identity does not exist in the physical world: there does not exist any feature of nature A such that A=A. I call this claim the unreality of logic and interpret it as demarcating a concrete theoretical limit on the precision with which nature can be described, due to intrinsic vagueness.
