The open access version of A Drive to Survive is now available to download for free! direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon... (If you've already read the preprint, I'd really appreciate a download of the official version... for the *metrics*) - also it has way less typos.

Exciting mail day! I received two new books with my contributions. In the volume on Conceptual Engineering, edited by Piotr Stalmaszczyk, I co-authored a chapter with my PhD student @wikror.bsky.social on predictive understanding, using empirical evidence from scientific writing and peer review. 1/2

This paper, along with several other fascinating contributions, has just been published in the book “Conceptual Engineering: Methodological and Metaphilosophical Issues” edited by Piotr Stalmaszczyk. Highly recommended! And you can still view freely the final version of our chapter on Psyarxiv :)
