One of the most brilliant young philosophers I know is Kristie Dotson. If you don’t believe me google her, make sure you read the ground breaking paper she wrote “How Is this Paper Philosophy?”, or check her out in the Cool Q&A section of this site. She is an epistemologist who is purposed driven and fierce. She gave a talk at Yale yesterday where she outlined the kinds of epistemic oppression that can be found in even the most seemingly “reasonable” rejection of Black rage in this moment.
I traveled to Yale from New York to check out the talk and to hang out with Kristie and Yale philosopher, Jason Stanley. It was a super 12 hours chatting with these epistemologists. The rumor that all philosophers are boring is just a rumor. The revolution continues!
