More Embarrassment from the NY Times “Philosophy” Blog

Political philosopher Chris Bertram (Bristol) writes:

Many smart philosophers are thinking and writing about migration and borders at the moment, and yet this drivel is what the NYT gives us in their The Stone section.  Unbelievable!

I wish it were unbelievable, but it isn't.  I confess to having largely given up on it, though occasionally someone competent contributes, but most of the time that readers flag it it's for "drivel" like that Professor Bertram noticed.  The whole thing seems to me even more clearly an unmitigated disaster than it did originally, and I would urge philosophers to steer clear of contributing, in the hopes the whole thing will just go away.
