Berkeley Instructor: "Rural Americans" Are "Bad People Who Have Made Bad Life Decisions In the now-deleted Twitter post published on Nov. 5, Kernion explained why he thought it is plausible to shame rural Americans. “I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans. they, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions,” Kernion wrote. “Some, I assume, are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid, and we should shame people who aren’t pro-city.” jacksonkernion.com JACKSON KERNION I’m a Philosophy PhD student at UC Berkeley, working in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of science. I’m visiting NYU for 2018-2019. I argue in my dissertation that our concept of consciousness is a functional concept. This stands in opposition to the conventional view that thinking of the mind in a first-personal, how-it-feels way is distinct from thinking of the mind in a third-personal, scientific way. The goal is to articulate the conceptual foundations that make a science of consciousness possible. I graduated from Harvard in 2012 with a philosophy degree in the interdisciplinary Mind, Brain, and Behavior program. I keep up a coding hobby by building tools for academics. And I enjoy the friendly competition of strategy-based board games. CV
