Hey man, I read some of your stuff on quora and came to check out your site. Just wanted to say that I like the way you think. I’m an avid learner and thinker as well. I also run a blog and was interested in how you decide what to write about publicly versus what you just write for yourself.
Hey John! Thanks for stopping by. Link me your blog I’ll check it out!
I mostly publish anything publicly that I think would be valuable for other people to have. I also have become *very* open recently, the point where I’d be comfortable posting almost anything. My main limitation is the latency time it takes to organize and write out my thoughts and post them here; my own desire to keep thoughts private doesn’t really hold me back.
hey brotha really enjoying reading your thoughts, keep on flourishing 🙂
Hi Jeremy,
I am glad I found your blog. The conceptual engineering of mental illness is an excellent work. It gives me a lot to work with as I am currently writing on the historical biography of autism as a psychiatric object. How could I use and cite your materials, if it is ok to do so?
Regards,
Hi Ali! Sorry for the late response. Your historical biography sounds fascinating! Yes feel free to cite my work – it’s not published anywhere except on this site, so you can simply cite it as a web article. Thanks!
I enjoyed your comments on Heidegger. You may interested in my critique of Ratcliffe’s reading of Heidegger. It deals directly with your questions concerning the grounding of primordial anxiety.

Hi Josh, thank you for the response! I’m glad you enjoyed the piece, and after looking your profile up on PhilPapers, it means a lot coming from you! I can tell you’ve thought deeply about the issues of affectivity and anxiety in Heidegger, and I’d love to hear if you have any more thoughts, critiques, or specific responses to this essay. Feel free to email me at jhadfield129@gmail.com. I also downloaded your essay and I’m looking forward to reading it!
I enjoyed your article “Why Large Language Models Will Not Understand Human Language” where you cite my post entitled “AI Cannot Ignore Symbolic Logic, and Here’s Why”. Great stuff. looking forward to reading more of your writings.
