Hi #DisabilityTwitter . Could I have some support as I do something rather audacious?
You might be thinking: "Cy, you already published your email to HR across all platforms today. You can just sit back and relax."

But that email was basic. I learned nothing from that email. Nothing that I did not already know.
But now I want to apply for something that I know my hero, an icon in philosophy, and you will all know her name in 20 years time, will read.

Her name? Shelley Lynn Tremain.

Yes, you already know her. Some of you. The rest of you? Catch up.

I am listening to #Starky, the #historian, who is trying his level best to defend slavery and #English #Buccaneer #William #Beckford.
William owned some 40,000 acres of #sugar plantation growing land and had thousands of enslaved #workers working on his property in #Jamaica.
No wonder the bad memories survived.
During the 1970s Manley introduced Democratic Socialism in Jamaica which was a reactionary political movement against the injustices committed by the colonialists against the Jamaican People.
Economic historians confuse that with capitalism.
Free Enterprise & Free Market Economy, with Free movement of factors of production across markets, the freedom of choice exercised in terms of either consumption or occupation, and other matters pertinent to production, prices, and distribution are value-fact dichotomy hypotheses

Was speaking to someone regarding the development of transferrable, applicable, and/ or any other learning and development related commutative technical skills during the period of study at any polytechnic or a university.
Of course, the conclusion we drew might help pedagogy.
What kind of skills we develop bifurcates into two directions.
Direction 1- #STEM Based Skill Programs
Direction 2- #Liberal #Arts, #Humanities and other #Social #Sciences based Skill Programs
Over time the divergence particularly in the fields of social sciences and natural sciences has been reduced due to advancements, interfaces, and cross-fertilization of concepts, theories and models, being exchanged.
Hence, Skills are being shared and improved upon both ways!

How much of Toland’s ‘Clidophorus’ lie inside Strauss’s ‘Persecution and the Art of Writing’? #strauss #esoteric #exoteric #philosophy #philosophers
In PAW, Strauss never mentions Toland’s Clidophorus, notwithstanding the subject of both books is the same. Is that esoterically relevant? #strauss #esotericism #exotericism #philosophy #betweenthelines
It seems implausible that Strauss didn’t have notice of Toland’s work, so why the silence about it in his own work about the double doctrine? #esotericism #exotericism #strauss #clidophorus #philosophy
