Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

On September 28, 2021, the Jamaican-American philosopher Charles W. Mills passed away. As the many tributes from his students, colleagues, and collaborators showed, Mills was known as an immense intellect and generous soul who forced philosophy to reckon with its racist past, and unquestionably changed the discipline for the better. Working in the wake of Mill’s The Racial Contract, this article enacts a double reveal. In the process of adopting and extending Mills’s philosophical interventions as a model, we also reveal an implicit pedagogical technique in his work. This is a technique not just for reading theoretical texts on one’s own, but also as a class. This article is a story of a project (at the University of Toronto) that read and adopted Mills’s pedagogical technique. Philosophy today is so much better because of the brilliant fire of Charles Mills. In this paper, we seek to honor and carry on Mills’s spirit through an assignment we call “The Mills Move.”

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
