That sounds like a terrific professor! (The one who had you rewrite your paper to make it sound more like spoken language.) I have enjoyed your posts on language and bullshit jobs the most, and have found your data science explainers to be the most useful--but really I am looking forward to more of whatever you would like to write!

I've been working on #4 for months (not for my stack but for my own edification) so if you can figure it out I'd appreciate it.

Eventually I'm just gonna have to Joseph Campbell it. String a bunch of ideas together and hope the reader figures it out

This is certainly not helpful, but I enjoy whatever you choose to write about. I guess to pick a favorite topic, it’s when you apply clear logic/philosophical arguments to complex issues. So many people just do gut reactions to major issues and don’t ever think them through, using the strategies great philosophers have identified but that most people don’t know about.
