Trying to better manage my media diet. No I do not want to see pictures of the flesh eating screw worm. Yes I do want to see pictures of Taylor’s ring.

No syllabus ever survives first contact with the students.

Oop, the dealership is now playing Alanis Morisette. For the ladies.

Many of my students have been National Guard and they are smart, effective, motivated folks happy to be earning an education (often the first in their families to go to college). They are doing their best.

Remember that most of the people in the National Guard want nothing to do with this and are, in fact, probably pretty pissed off that their governor ripped them away from their normal lives to do security theater miles away from home.

Notes from a Subaru dealer: As Neil Young’s plays over the loudspeaker, folks in Birkenstocks and Keens watch non traditional families drive over mountain passes and dogs surf. These are my people now.

Chicago don’t play.

Honest question: Is it okay to shop at Costco during the economic blackout today? I’m happy to support the company and unhappy about having to go on a Saturday.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

Three new manuscripts have come to me through the editorial system in the last 6 hours, which means six have be submitted to the journal (they are split between our two Eds in Chief). WTH, people. It’s 12/27. Why are you submitting papers today? Can’t it wait until the new year?

I have about 10,000 words of my book written. So far I have said very little and possibly all I know about blame and punishment.

My hot yoga instructor this morning was about 18 and I think this was her first class. She kept forgetting to do the left side in our series. I swear that I’m actually off balance now. If I fall off my chair whilst writing it’s on her.

Today’s observation: if I write 1,000 words five days a week I should be done with this book in about three and a half months. No problem.

👋. I’ve decided to start posting to bluesky as a distraction while writing my book.

Glad to see this paper by @annelijefferson.bsky.social @ksifferd.bsky.social and Jan-Hendrik Heinrichs is now out. Scaffolding Bad Moral Agents - on how environments shape moral agency. #philsky #OA link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New post on the EPIC blog: Elisabetta Lalumera (who will work on the EPIC Discounting Dementia case study) talks about the importance of epistemic injustice and her various projects in the ethics and philosophy of medicine epistemicinjusticein... #philsky

“They want to ban reproductive freedom nationwide. What other freedoms do they want to take away?” is a great line

Hilariously, the Republican heckling is making Biden look cognitively nimble.

Our little project is gearing up: if you know somebody who would be interested in a postdoc position on philosophy of psychology and psychiatry in Rijeka, Croatia, spread the news: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/193732 @ksifferd.bsky.social

Just noticed that my book is now out in paperback! #philsky www.routledge.com/Are-Mental-D...

The public lecture on whether withholding #blame is dehumanising, by Nadine Elzein, is now available on YouTube for those who could not attend in person: buff.ly/3vVzC2O Thanks to the Royal Institute of Philosophy for making the event possible! @philsky

How a philosopher has coped with schizophrenia. The value of academic freedom. Kant makes the cover (sort of) of two magazines. Philosophy in & about prisons. Language & reality. Free speech & trust. Ethics for now and (much much) later...

Got my copy! It's Open Access on the OUP website, so you can also get yours!

New, from me: The popular idea of welfare fraud relies on "welfare queen" tropes. But in a lot of policy areas, the biggest fraudsters are sophisticated criminal gangs using information technology or organized scams. SNAP is a good example. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/rethinking...

Donald Trump is a cheat and a fraud and a rapist. I do not understand my fellow Americans who support him.

How many philosophy majors are there, who are they, and how has this changed over the past twenty years?

Five €4000 grants available to support PhDs and postdocs to conduct international lab visits to study how environments influence early development - including philosophy, methods/tools, policy impacts (www.cost.eu/actions/CA22...). More details here: t.co/iDmbI7pBEw

The 9th most requested paper in 2023 was "Born which Way? ADHD, Situational Self-Control, and Responsibility" by P. Koi. Koi argues that genetic and neurobiological explanations are overstated in evaluations of responsibility for those with ADHD. It's open access! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The 10th most requested paper in 2023 was "The Illusion of Agency in Human-Computer Interaction" by M. Madary. This fascinating paper makes the case that our digital devices create illusions of agency. It's open access! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hi everyone! Neuroethics (Springer) has moved from X to Bluesky. We're going to get things started with listing this year's top requested papers. (We're limiting the top ten to those published since 2020.)

I just caught up with my journal work in the lull before final papers come in. Now I’m going to figure out if I need a separate code to start up a Neuroethics journal Bluesky account.

Writing philosophy properly is such slow process. Word by word, sentence by sentence.

Writing philosophy is an exercise in delayed gratification. Often indefinitely delayed, and often not so gratifying when it eventually arrives.

I just asked Google if lice removal can be paid for out of HSA funds. I parent for the fame and glamor.

My 13 yr old is playing REM’s Life’s Rich Pageant on an endless loop and I don’t hate it. Lots of good memories in there.

This is a fun guest post at the Cocoon of someone who went from being an FBI agent to being a philosopher. Especially this advice: to "make sense of my unusual background instead of turning away from it altogether," and "top worrying about looking, sounding, and acting smart"

Deactivated Twitter and deleted the app off my phone for all the reasons. It’s on my list to move @neuroethicsj over next week. I’m slow but full of conviction.

I just wrote my endowed chair report. I should be impressed with myself but I feel sort of depressed. I think I need to be more focused. What am I trying to do, exactly?

Don't miss this call for papers for the 2024 Stanford Graduate Conference in Political Theory! This is one of the best events I've been to; the venue is beautiful and the people wonderful. Deadline Nov 20. stanfordpoliticaltheorygraduateconference.wordpress.com/2023/09/27/2...

Giving a neurolaw lecture to the Loyola neuroscience folks today. I hope I’m not trying to say too much in my 55 minutes. Ack. Will report back.

So happy that #philsky is taking off. I’m about a week away from deleting my Twitter and starting up a a Bluesky account for Neuroethics (Springer).
