This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Late to the party but I miss seeing what everyone in philosophy, psych, etc. is thinking about! Social epistemologists, cognitive scientists, and other co-conspirators: What's one project you're working on that you're excited about? 🤓

I started a Political Epistemology substack, and I decided to begin with an uncontroversial topic. I currently have 3 followers, but I welcome more!

Excited to be giving two (2!) talks in Helsinki this week. One on risk and epistemic modals at this workshop tomorrow and another on trust, risk and vulnerability to the philosophy department on Thursday.

Just tried to search 'epistemic modals' but my phone autocorrected to 'epistemic moussaka' and I'm not absolutely certain there's no mileage in it

Why did Gettier do all that stuff about the coins when he could have just had someone farting while someone else made a convincing fart noise?

Dear #philsky I think we need a starter pack for people who work on epistemic injustice. Can be philosophers, psychologists, lived experience researchers, the sky is the limit! Suggest yourselves or others for inclusion in the replies. Thanks 🤩 go.bsky.app/RMAoxiW

It's staggering that any country would let this happen to something it's good at. Honestly think that when we look back at this disaster - which is only in its initial stages - it'll be seen as a national scandal. There should at least be an independent investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Facebook reminded me that it is exactly five years since an old friend from undergrad who is now a pilot took me up for a flight over Manhattan one night. I was, and still am, a bit confused as to why we weren't shot down by the Air Force.

Post a banger that isn't in English. According to an old blog post "The title can be roughly translated as 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year' since the group from Ghana is complaining about a tough period of time and celebrating a new beginning."
