This post is still live on X.

must read about experimental philosophy

Irony is strong with this one :)

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I've created a list for Bluesky users who were part of philosophy Twitter back in the day. Help me populate it! Also happy to add people who wish they had been part of the old community. I've added a few names already. (Ask if you'd like to be removed.) bsky.app/profile/did:...

Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

Trump's war on Iran has reminded me of Putin's war on Ukraine in so many ways, not least of which is this one: a cadre of advisors being too scared to tell the President what they really think, only to be horrified when he unleashes what they should've stopped him from doing in the first place.

Vance: "We want you to make a decision about your future with no outside forces pressuring you or telling you what to do. I'm not telling you exactly who to vote for." Vance 20 minutes later: "Go to the polls at the weekend. Stand with Viktor Orbán!"

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I and Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Sure, the most influential accounts on X are all right-wing influencers who spew a steady stream of misinformation and hatred, but I'm sure you're not feeling any downstream effects from all of that. You're just too smart and savvy to be influenced by propaganda, not like literally everyone else.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

People sometimes say that an outcome was caused by two things. We might say Amy got sick because (a) There was cilantro in the soup *and* (b) Amy is allergic to cilantro Beautiful new theory of causal selection from @tadegquillien.bsky.social that explains why we sometimes select two causes

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine. They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal. A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

🔴 Russia launched a massive drone and missile strike against Ukraine after rejecting an Easter ceasefire proposal. At least 1 killed as an apartment in Obukhiv was hit. Nearly 500 Russian drones & missiles struck in a brutal daylight blitz aimed at maximizing civilian toll.

Scientists created virtual replicas of patients’ diseased hearts so precise that blocking a dangerous irregular heartbeat in these digital “twins” showed doctors how to better treat the real thing. apnews.com/article/hear...

Vnk nevēlos, lai šis likums, pēc kura balsojuma Izraēlas valdības locekļi, demonstrējot sajūsmu, publiski laistījās ar šampanieti, paslīdētu garām nemanīts. Jo Izraēla ir pirmā valsts vēsturē, kas pieņēmusi likumu par nāvessodu, kas attiecas tikai uz vienu etnisko grupu. www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

The *majority* of philosophy papers now cite at least some empirical data. Papers that do purely a priori philosophy are in a minority

We literally threatened to invade a NATO ally THIS YEAR. TWO MONTHS AGO.

He started a war with no reason and no plan, sending the world into a crisis solely of his own creation, and now he's angrily bitching that other countries need to clean up his mess.

Our new study explores how child & adolescent psychiatrists perceive the ethical challenges and considerations associated with the potential clinical use of novel prediction models for assessing the risk of severe mental disorders. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @ivarsneiders.bsky.social

Art of the deal

Oi, izcili, kārtējo reizi kāds neprasmīgs mākslinieks izdomājis glābt nāciju. Kas slikts var notikt!

Russia uses its figure skating platform to normalize pro-war rhetoric and systematically whitewash its war crimes. 🧵 1/10 ⬇️

"The victims included a National Guard soldier and his 15-year-old daughter, according to Ivano-Frankivsk mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv. They were at a hospital maternity ward visiting the soldier’s wife who had given birth to a son just days prior." edition.cnn.com/2026/03/24/e...

A demented rapist has teamed up with a lunatic mass murderer to wage war on a corrupt theocracy, the result of which is that food in Bangladesh is no longer affordable. Hate this for us.

Increasingly coming to realise that the opposite of woke is zombie.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

In Moscow's Shadows 241: When Attack Dogs Turn Can online storms beget real ones? Not the silly "Narva People's Republic", but the turning of Ilya Remeslo, Kremlin attack dog now turning on Putin? I've some theories and a possibly (over-)optimistic conclusion www.buzzsprout.com/1026985/epis...

The Case for Pluralism in Death Determination. The article defends the pluralist policy of death determination. According to this view, competent persons should be free to choose the criteria under which they should be diagnosed as dead.

In early 2025, aides to JD Vance ordered a small office at the State Dept to document how European regulators were censoring online speech. “We did not find anything,” said one of the ppl. “It was not politically convenient that we could not find anything." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

‘The male ego is even more fragile than it ever was’

"An edition of On Liberty published this month is the first to officially name Harriet Taylor Mill as a co-author alongside John Stuart Mill."

There is one respect in which the US is moving closer to equality. It used to be 'never give a sucker an even break'. Now it's 'never give anyone an even break'.

pēc “Inside the Manosphere” gribas izmazgāt acis un ausis, lai atšķaidītu tās derdzigās šausmas. ezotēriskie kursiki sievietēm un red pill investment scams vīriešiem, kas caur soc. medijiem ļauj dažiem pelnīt uz citu ilūziju rēķina. nekā jauna 🥲 bet šis mirklis bija lielisks. atkal - mammas.

How ignorance, misunderstanding and obfuscation ended Iran nuclear talks

This is an incredible documentation of the systematic, intentional collapse of American health science, by Elizabeth Ginexi. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees. A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.
