Question that came up during dnd today (legitimately, I promise): ``Does the axiom of choice hold in this world?"

Looking for only the newest, spiciest directions in Relevant Logic? Look no further! I'm glad to see this collection out in the wild

I'm happy to say that New Directions in Relevant Logic has been published! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Is there a prime number such that all greater primes are lonely 🥺?

Have been reading a fascinating book about fungus, and am intrigued by the properties of:

I see this quoted a lot. But it seems out of date. The most prominent contemporary conservatives have abandoned the task of (spurious) moral justification and have turned to the campaign to belittle, humiliate, and maybe even bankrupt, anyone who questions or opposes them in any way.

Jet lag going east is bad for me - much worse when trying to recover in Norway in winter

What is virtue grounded in? I.e., in virtue of what is virtuousness?

New year, new paper alert! My "Negated Implications in Connexive Relevant Logics" investigates logics which expand (fragments of) relevant logics by connexive principles, such as Aristotle's thesis (no formula is implied by, or implies, its own negation). Interesting results ensue!

Agreed. And if the ending isn’t quite cathartic enough you can always follow it up with the “lost ending” SNL sketch where the townspeople form a mob and beat the shit out of Old Man Potter.

Thomas Ferguson, Shay Logan, Jitka Kadlecikova, and I are editing a special issue of Journal of Logic, Language, and Information on the theme "Variable-Sharing Properties (and Their Discontents)". Submission deadline is April 30, 2025. link.springer.com/collections/...

The arc of fucking around is long but it bends towards finding out.

Just took the pleasure of citing the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comics!) in a logic paper in preparation. Sometimes life has fun things in it :)

Wow, how not at all alarming...

My closest friend once told me that when he was a kid he used to imagine lines of projection coming out of straight line segments in his environment. Me too. I wonder why we got along so well?

Are you a Lakatos nerd? Then time to read our new paper and read the thread below. "Kneebone and Lakatos: at the roots of a dialectical philosophy of mathematics" is forthcoming in the HOPOS journal, and a preprint is available online now. (Joint work with Brendan Larvor and Colin Rittberg).

I'm a bit late to the party with Bluesky's blowup, but it's genuinely lovely seeing old friends from the bad place back and better than ever :)

Anytime I visit Copenhagen, I find the dark sense of humour of the people in that country noteworthy. But, you know, Danes Macabre, amiright?

The arc of history isn't going to bend itself.

Coming back to Bluesky after a break, let me advertise a recent paper of mine I'm quite proud of! In this paper, I propose a way to read topics off of a space of propositions forming an algebra, and tie this in to a topical reading of relevance in logic: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Felhur x Andro took the cake for my spotify wrapped this year on the strength of one song, my #1, which I listened to on repeat for days while feeling angry about economic injustice. Otherwise, it's death metal and modern classical music, and things are as they should be
