"By aligning themselves with science and reason, Chinese elites signaled membership in a modern, progressive, and internationally respected epistemic community... The framing of belief in ghosts as a cognitive bias or emotional crutch represents a distinctly modern epistemic move"

I finished the audiobook of David Edmonds’s latest this weekend, and I’m still fascinated by this curious new genre that traces the life of a thought experiment including its debates, and the reach that it ended up having across different contexts. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Now at the Science of Ethics online seminar! @markalfano.bsky.social

We are putting together this event this Tuesday/Wednesday at the @unisevilla.bsky.social @ffilosofiaus.bsky.social . You can also follow along online (streaming available). philevents.org/event/show/1...

Elecciones a Rector/a hoy en la US. Un voto individual rara vez decide. Pero el rectorado orienta ~500M€ y el rumbo de la institución durante años. En términos de valor esperado, votar pensando en el bien común puede ser una de las acciones individuales con mayor impacto, pese a la incertidumbre.

Es una posición silenciada (supongo x miedo a las consecuencias) pero muy posible, si no plausible, que los comités de ética hagan más daño que bien. Como mínimo convendría pensar en términos de horas de valor humano perdidas, investigaciones nunca realizadas, etc. También es una idea anti-memética.
