Recent additions to the Heap of Links…

2. Tractatus lego-philosophicus — Philip Bold offers fellow philosophy instructors a useful metaphor for explaining early Wittgenstein
3. “We know how to produce incisive critique, we know how to identify exclusions, how to name the ways power reproduces itself. Can we now build?” — Hollis Robbins on “the master’s” house and tools, aphorisms, AI, and threats to the academy
4. “Two years ago, her employer started requiring chaplains to accrue more of what it called ‘productivity points.’ A visit to the dying: as little as one point. Participating in a funeral: one and three-quarters points” — the ethics of workplace surveillance and productivity monitoring for professionals
5. “The game sees you as wander through the Alps as Friedrich Nietzsche, haunted by the wind-scattered pages of your final manuscript” — “Nietzsche’s Shadow” video game was recently released
6. “It is a site for surveillance, control, name-calling. Functioning like a modern-day scarlet letter, the list can lead to ostracization, condemnation, and even the practice of self-silencing… for those who are placed on it” — George Yancy on being on Charlie Kirk’s “Professor Watchlist”
7. “People in the fight game are fond of saying that boxing doesn’t build character; it reveals it. It can do both” — Gordon Marino on boxing and virtue

Mini-Heap posts usually appear when several new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thank you.
