Yep. My way to say that is that delusion possibly happens anytime you consider these platforms a sort of Big Other in a Lacanian sense. Delirium shifts from a closed interpretive system to something guided by an entity that not only validates and amplifies it, but can also steer it wherever it wants

A curious side of being an immigrant is that supermarkets are organized according to culturally conditioned logic. So if you’re used to finding certain items in one place in Brazil ou France, in Germany you’ll end up zigzagging through the aisles trying to decode where on earth they’ve hidden it.

The Institute Vienna Circle in Austria has a call for four fellowships right now. Not sure if many philosophers follow me beyond my personal friends, but I held this fellowship for a semester and it the work environment is great. wienerkreis.univie.ac.at

Depeche Mode's Black Celebration was released 40 years ago. To anyone watching, I am quietly reading a book with headphones on; in my head I am singing 'A question of lust' as if I depended on it to keep breathing.

My biggest project after finishing my thesis is posting on LinkedIn, the social network devoted to performing productivity in the most toxic way possible, about all the useless amazing things I do precisely because I don’t work. Next project is quantifying how many ppl will unfollow me.

Pink stuff of the world, I love you.

Of course I hear people insulting AI all day, but nothing struck me as a research topic until I read this excellent post. I then spent 4 days in cult-like blogs, spiral Discord forums, and podcasts where guests think AIs are aliens or gods. Newsflash: we’re so fucked.

The life of an early-career scholar: thrilled that Rush is touring next year and simultaneously spiraling because I have absolutely no idea where on the planet I’ll be living to buy a ticket for the corresponding city/country/galaxy.

My new DB era: being confined with Francesca in a 4-star hotel for more than a day in Karlshuhe (?) because a 10min delay from Bochum made us lose the connection to the famous TGV that stops everywhere from Strasbourg to Marseille. It looks haunted by night and a bit Viennese in the morning.

Postando pro Felipe que ainda se nega a voltar pra isso aqui.

My toxic trait is that I’m used to having things to do on Sundays, coming from a poor country where people have to work on weekends, so in Europe Sundays feel completely empty due to more decent labor rights.

Sometimes I think the real sign of closure is surviving your ex’s music recommendations by listening to them again and not having any sort of collapse.

I'm presenting my work on Implicit Body Memory in Panic Disorder in this workshop: www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/phil-lang/tr... in Bochum on February 19th. After using Genetic Phenomenology and the notion of Uncanny to claim panic disorder diagnosis does not have objectless fear in an enactivist account 👇🏼

All of this could’ve been avoided since 2016, when a less awful candidate existed. His name was Joe Exotic. (🫠) youtu.be/sc-_7RCFArM?...

That Day My Romanticism Died (Clinically) medium.com/p/that-day-m...

Sometimes I wonder whether the person who convinced themselves this was a good idea was dealing with the same kind of brain fog I have.

Every day I find myself wondering whether part of the long-standing division between cognition and affect exists because, at some point, most of specialists were men and they chose to bracket off affectivity just because. In other words, a form of male avoidance dressed up as science.

Marseille ✨️

Enfin, je vais pouvoir demander en personne au consulat si les Brésiliens peuvent désormais renouveler leur passeport à Marseille, puisque c’est le Rio de Janeiro de l’Europe. Je suis sûre qu’ils vont me répondre.

Since it will be months before I’m able to think academically again, I’m thinking in an essayistic way instead. medium.com/@nathalia.de...

Lovely new volume from Marco Bernini & Ben Alderson-Day's 'Threshold Worlds' project. In permeable and immersive dreams, what narrative genres sculpt dream experiences and reports? My chapter shifts from my own survey response to plasticity and anachronism in the sciences and history of dreams.

One day my supervisor and I wondered for many minutes why I never chose one single damn cheerful research topic ever. Without conclusions, I thought of that today downloading books on psychopathy while impatiently waiting for my comprehension skills to come back so I can read them.

Just got 30 euros back from Deutsche Bahn from a Berlin-Bochum delay last June. One day I’ll have the energy to add up all the money I’ve ever gotten back from all delays and see how many months of rent they ended up refunding me.

This is taking place in the end of January, it is on-line and it is free: www.utm.utoronto.ca/alumni/psych...

It really occurred to me that, now that Plato is the one being kicked out, maybe we can finally let the poets back in.

The energy I am bringing into 2026. Also mentally.

Everyone is back at work, so I feel a bit less bad asking - any postdocs in psychgen coming up? I have a PhD in genetics of psychosis from King’s and postdoc experience from Mount Sinai in postpartum psychosis, autism, and ADHD. Thankful for those who sent suggestions, just wide net casting!

They never told me that after I submitted a PhD thesis life would start sucking my brain cells into some kind of vacuum from which reasoning about even the smallest thing takes two days. I am also pretty sure this existential vacuum is simply winter.

Whoa David Bowie's Blackstar must be on its 10th anniversary. It came out when I was hiding somewhere in Sonnennallee in Berlin, one day I went out and the billboard was there. Since then mankind went to shit basically.

Has anyone ever studied how a nation that claims to be elite at anything managed to reelect a narcissistic psychopath and keep him in power to this day? Is it an excess of microplastics in the brain, or just an inability to connect the dots?

I have submitted my PhD thesis "Temporality and Emotional Inertia in Fear Disorders: Affectivity, Embodiment, Unforgetfulness" today at the Philosophy department in the University of Cologne. My defense takes place in the spring. 💫
