“Here’s a disease that harms the cardiovascular system.” “Here’s a vaccine that decreases its effects.” People, after getting the disease (multiple times) and the vaccine, experiencing cardiovascular problems: “It must be the vaccine!” This is just too weird for me.

We usually expect coherence from one another. I prefer to make a distinction and look for synchronic coherence (between beliefs/actions at a time) but not diachronic coherence (through time); one should be allowed/expected to change (through transitional periods of incoherence).

I’ve been reading some history of philosophy of law lately so I’ve added positivists like John Austin, Hans Kelsen, and HLA Hart, along with sentences on natural law by Aquinas, as a start. (More to come, incl. Fuller, Finnis, Dworkin, Raz.) Here for Hart: www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse...

I had the pleasant surprise of seeing my 2010 MA thesis project Graphagos (graphagos.com) on a poster in an Evostar conference photo. I am no longer in the academy but it always feels good to see my old work referenced in recent research on evolutionary design.

“In Dennett’s view, what needs to go is not so much folk psychology, but the gloss on folk psychology that philosophers have imposed on it. In that regard, he belongs firmly in the tradition of his mid-century heroes, Ryle and Wittgenstein.” aeon.co/essays/as-re...

I really enjoyed this one when it was released a year ago. It was refreshing to go over the usual philsci topics (realism, causation, natural kinds, etc.) within the context of chemistry.

So maybe after we’ve restored our mental health and energy here for a year or so, we can go back and take over Twitter again as a horde. Non-stop high-quality content creation. Full-on friendly engagement. The algorithm will be terrified.

One of the reasons I don’t use AI for text generation is that I love writing, even if it’s a weird work email. I get pleasure out of it. So for me it’s like “Here we have something that’ll automatically eat your chocolate for you”. No thanks.
