Racism all the time.

'Sometimes'

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

You know, these are rights we have. Full stop. You can violate them, hell you can have them unacknowledged by the law or the powers that be, but these are rights we have all the same. That’s what makes them inalienable. Amendments codify and enshrine, they don’t create. These are our rights

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

This came to me in a vision

I will be participating in four protests this weekend to resist the ongoing destruction of science, healthcare, and democracy in this country. Please consider joining one of the many labor day rallies, you can find many of them here www.mobilize.us/mayday/ A few further thoughts in this thread...

Oh problematic meme you are so problematic but useful

Just realised that not enough of you have cited this paper. Worried about what that portends for racism. philpapers.org/rec/HEEPBI

Trump signs an executive order tasking Hegseth to establish "specialised units" within the National Guard to "deal with public order issues" across the US. Using the US Military against the American public.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Ukrainians are – and Ukrainians will remain – on this land where a hundred years from now our future generations will stand. And a hundred years from now, they will celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day here.

Studying philosophy does make people better thinkers, according to new research on more than 600,000 college grads theconversation.com/studying-phi...

A substantively revised version of the SEP entry on Computation in Physical Systems, with several updates, new references, and other improvements, just came live. Link below.

I'm still seeing a fair few downloads of the uncorrected pre-print for 'A Drive to Survive – so just re-upping that the proofed and finalised #OpenAccess PDF is available completely free here. direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon...

I have a new article! Doing a sort of mini-genealogy of the concept of mind in response to Toon's mental fictionalism www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

A nation that metabolizes as "normal" the fact that red-pilled, conspiracy-obsessed ideologues with zero qualifications and zero concern for empirical reality are running the country, is a nation that doesn't have much of a future ahead of it as either a democracy or a remotely prosperous place.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm UK time, the Persuaders will be live again. In this episode Pete will be trying to persuade everyone to share his view of perceptual content. youtube.com/live/S7FjpEH... @petemandik.bsky.social

Next, Joseph Gough addresses the relationship between phenomenal #consciousness and moral status in this open access article: doi.org/10.1080/0951...#consciousness#philsky #philpsy

I know I make light of it, but honestly being a black man in philosophy ain't easy. Being so often surrounded by racists (editors who reject my papers), liars (reviewers who tell editors that my papers should be rejected), and frauds (analytic philosophers) takes its toll.

Latest papers: Caitlin Mace uses optogenetics. Research on memory engrams as a case study to show how researchers ascribe content to neural representations and justify their approach doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philpsy #philsky

A new article in the #PhiMiSci special issue on structuralism was published: "Methodological Structuralism and the two-Factor Approach: Implications for consciousness science and AI" by Lukas Kob discusses the potential benefits of methodological structuralism for the neurosciences of consciousness.

In June, Kathleen Murphy-Hollies hosted a workshop on conspiracy theory and story telling at the University of Birmingham, featuring five exciting academics working on the topic. Today's post presents a brief summary of each of their talks. #philsky #philpsy

Dear American friends: if you are confident that the next government will undo the ridiculous and evil policies of the Trump administration and fix the damage done, you might want to ask yourself about how confident you are about [check notes] there being a “next government”, like, at all.

It’s amazing how little most USians know about the history of Latin American politics

This is incredible

#PhiMiSci has recently launched a new special issue on "Structuralism and the Science of Consciousness". It opens with a new paper by David Rosenthal titled "Objective foundations for the study of mental qualities". Have a look!

Here's the preprint of my forth. paper on "Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception" on Mind&Language. My claim, inspired by Kantian schematism, is that perception unfolds with distinctive rhythms: philpapers.org/rec/VERLCA-3...

But the scale at which it is being pushed out and appended to everything just far exceeds its actual utility, in a way I've gotta suppose that eventually the market will realise and there'll be some contraction here.

Apparently 36% of Japanese voters believe that "immigrants are taking our jobs" bro what immigrants does Japan even have?? ATP a solid like 40% of voters *in every country* are just driven by completely imaginary grievances

I have written a blog post that motivates and sets the agenda of a new line of philosophical inquiry - the philosophy of adaptivity. You may have heard of adaptive AI or robots but what exactly makes them adaptive? And in what sense are we dynamically adaptive as biological systems?

For 20 years a soviet agronomist named Lysenko promoted pseudoscientific agricultural theories and punished those who understood genetics. It had devastating effects on Soviet agriculture—leading to frequent crop failures and famines. The Trump admin is filled with Lysenkos.

Tomorrow, we will have a symposium on "The Cognitive Importance of “Non-cognitive” Processes: Reconsidering the connection between metabolism and cognition" at the BSPS. Join us and talk about metabolism.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.
