Very happy to see my research being featured on the Microsoft Research Blog

You think science floats free of the messy, pre-theoretical world you live in? Adorable. My new paper with Themistoklis Pantazakos argues it doesn't—and couldn't. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

All the philosophy students who pursued their passion made a wise decision. Learning how to think is a always a good investment. Psychology grads are not doing too badly on the job market either.

Out today at IAI News — Ken Archer (LiU/Microsoft) and I argue that the debate about AI intelligence is stuck because we're asking the wrong question. iai.tv/articles/lan...

My extremely gifted colleague Ken Archer and I have written something on AI: philpapers.org/rec/ARCTOO-2

You enjoy physics, but remain stubbornly embodied? Awkward. My new piece for The Institute of Art and Ideas explains why this is no defect, and why, as a matter of fact, it could not be otherwise.

Last week, UC Merced Philosophy hosted @haraldwiltsche.bsky.social for a super interesting talk on the relationship between phenomenology and QBism (Quantum Bayesianism) #philsci #philsky

New paper out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Together with Arezoo Islami I discuss @srdfrench.bsky.social's amazing work on London's and Bauer's phenomenological interpretation of quantum mechanics.

David and his wife Subrena will be working at my division @philappethliu.bsky.social at Linkoping University @liu.se during the academic year 2026/27. I am very happy that we were able to pull this off!

My review of @srdfrench.bsky.social's "A Phenomenological Approach to Quantum Mechanics" has appeared. It's open access, so feel free to check it out. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

@liu.se, the Karolinska Institute is already leading the way. Time for us to step up, too? www.ft.com/content/cdcb...

February 1 will be a day of contrasts: I'll perform a concert at SEOK HQ in Linköping and officially become Head of Department. One of these sparks joy. The other... 🤔

@hossenfelder.bsky.social, a German YT blogger, criticized a paper I co-authored. However, her critique misses the claims made in the paper. This leaves only two possibilities: either she did not read the paper, or she intentionally misrepresented it for clickbait. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zucX...

Quite a few new acquaintances here on Bluesky, many of whom are probably not familiar with my wife's art. Let's change that, shall we? www.attdana.com

Very happy to be among the authors of this paper on a new methodology for ascertaining scientific opinion and extent of expert agreement. (And an Erdös number of 4 is a nice bonus.) journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

I had a dream last night that would have made my therapist proud--if I had one. I was summoned to an unknown location, some kind of warehouse. Two men in black suits informed me that I had been chosen to play for Austria's national football team as a left wingback. 1/2
