Certain scenarios pose significant challenges when it comes to moral evaluation. However, one country attacking another, innocent nation does not fall into this category.

🚨paper alert🚨 with Emanuel Viebahn Can you lie with pictures? Some (says-based) theories deny this possibility but lay people clearly think you can lie with pictures – and in at least three different ways. Forthcoming in AJP. Short thread with link to paper below.

❤️Finally❤️ Short thread with more info @neeleengelmann.bsky.social @narsimarsi.bsky.social @louisareins.bsky.social

Ich möchte gern mal wissen, wie viel Zeit insgesamt in Forschung & Lehre fehlt, weil Tausende Wissenschaftler_innen sich nicht nur ständig bewerben müssen, sondern dabei auch das, was eh schon in der Bewerbung steht, noch händisch in immer neue Formulare & Berufungsportale copy-pasten. #IchBinHanna

We are very happy to have @kathrynbfrancis.bsky.social (Keele University) on: VR, images, and chat rooms: Using innovative experimental methods in moral psychology, epistemology, and bioethics. Wednesday, January 17, 16:30 to 18:00 (CET), everyone welcome!

New paper (Social Psychological & Personality Science) by @louisareins.bsky.social (did all the heavy lifting) and I on partisan bias in lie judgments. Upshot: Democrats and Republicans exhibit only a small bias but think the other side is massively biased. Short thread and link below. (1/5)

We are very happy to announce our next guest talk by: Francesca Bonalumi (Central European University) about: Moral intuitions about strategic agents on Wednesday, November 22, 16:30 to 18:00 (German time; online+in person). Everyone welcome, just write me an email.

Lottery approach to grants ❤️

My friend Steffen Koch and I released this preprint of our paper: To enable us to think novel, formerly unthinkable, thoughts we must develop new foreign concepts through Susan Carey’s process of Quinean Bootstrapping. Includes (vague) instructions on how to assemble such concepts.

"Das derzeitige System macht die Wissenschaft kaputt. [...] Eine Grant- oder Stellenbewerbung nach der anderen in der Postdocphase, sodass konzentriertes wiss[.] Arbeiten kaum möglich ist. Das kann es doch nicht sein – nicht nur wegen dem Frust, den das erzeugt. Auch Qualität und Kreativität leiden"
