MOVING TO FRONT FROM JUNE 1--UPDATED
As usual, I'll be posting somewhat less in June (a few times per week), and even less in July and August (maybe once or twice per week, depending on what's happening). August 3, 2023 will mark the 20th anniversary of the blog, and I am thinking that I will scale back my blogging going forward, although I won't stop altogether. I'm still debating how much I will cut back (and how I will adjust the advertising rates for next year in light of that). I'll make an announcement in August, perhaps on or around the 20th blog anniversary. I sincerely appreciate all the intelligent readers I've been fortunate to attract over the years, and I've enjoyed the opportunity to correspond with many of you and to meet others in person. While Twitter has taken a toll on blogs generally, this one is still going remarkably strong, averaging well over three million unique visitors per year, so it seems a good time to begin phasing into blog retirement while it's still widely read and influential (much to the chagrin of the Wokerati, of course). But it will be a multi-year phasing, and come September I am sure I will still be posting a few times each week, but nothing like the volume in the past.
Thanks, as always, for your interest and indulgence over many years!
UPDATE (6/6/23): Thanks to the many readers who wrote me after last week's post. I should clarify that my phased blogging retirement may last a long time--I won't wholly abandon the philosophy blogosphere to the Wokerati and those hell-bent on destroying the field! And as the enemies of academic freedom become more aggressive, I will continue to shine a light on those issues. It's even possible that when I do retire from my actual job in 15 years, I may resume a more active blogging schedule. I still haven't decided what the new schedule for September will look like, but it will be reduced from that of past years.
