#PublicationAlert 🥰. This one has been long in the making: It started with a @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in 2023, lead to a working group at the SFI in 2024, multiple online-meetings (one from Costa Rica, Munich, Denmark, Mumbai, and the US), thought-provoking and truly interdisciplinary work.

They say: once there’s a paper 📝, it’s real… 🎉 #MEDem in #EPS @ecpr.bsky.social The paper outlines how MEDem will strengthen #OpenScience by making data #FAIR in #DemocracyResearch – and how scholars across Europe are joining forces to build a truly open #ResearchInfrastructure ⚙️

Coming out soon! I've written a chapter for this book, where I compare compromise between persons to compromise within a person. Looking forward to reading the other chapters!! Many thanks to the editors for putting this together 🙏 @karstenmause.bsky.social #academicsky

Turn those red pins into saved bookmarks! Definitely one we will be using.

"russia is categorically opposed to placing foreign military troops in #Ukraine". Well, that's great: get your troops out of Ukraine, then! Jokes aside, no reasons will "convince" a lunatic. russia must just be kicked out of #Ukraine by all means, all else is rewarding aggression.

I noticed the event way too late, but it's hybrid, so perhaps you would also like to catch some presentations: "(Not) Caring to Know: Vice Epistemology meets Situated Affectivity" by Centre for Ethics as Study in Human Value at the University of Pardubice 🇨🇿 centreforethics.upce.cz/en/not-carin...

I am constantly reminded to self-advertise more, do linkedin, post photos of events etc. I agree but forget & share articles I like. After organizing a "Knowledge and Democracy" panel at the Estonian Annual Philosophy Conference with @miasmafactory.bsky.social & I. Cerovac, we discussed it again.

A study asking if deliberative and direct democratic traits are tied to better performance in democracy (accountability and support by its citizens), social equality and system efficiency (non-corruption; economic performance). #Polisky #Polsci #DemocraticInnovations OA: doi.org/10.1080/0034...

Welcoming and quite open-ended CFP for book proposals in political philosophy.

The authors show how automation can harm workers’ epistemic agency by undermining their decision-making authority and trust. Framing it as a form of epistemic injustice, they propose 'adversarial collaboration' as a solution to balance trust between AI and humans at work. More:

JUST IN: the regime court sentences democratic leader Nika Gvaramia of Coalition for Change to 8 months in jail. He is already in a pre-trial detention. It is noteworthy that he has more cases to be launched against him, prolonging his sentence. Just like in case of others.

Fairphone 6 came out. Selling points: 1) It uses recycled and fairly sourced materials 2) Avoids exploitative labor, pays a living wage to factory workers 3) Easy to repair & thus pushes the industry towards those values. Will not be cheapest for comparable specs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEvM...

Working on a course proposal, title tbd, topic roughly "philosophy of science for scientists." Partly in response to www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... It's a junior-level gen ed for science majors w/ little/no philosophy. Suggestions for readings/topics appropriate for this audience appreciated!

Estonia strongly supports international law to be uphold in Ukraine, for children to be protected, and accepts no occupation by russian murderers of 🇺🇦 land. It is coherent to support international law, denounce occupation and killing of civilians elsewhere as well. news.err.ee/1609718205/g...

It was this month in 2011 I got offered a job at Skype. Microsoft have pulled the plug, so I wanted to write about how #Skype was a crucial part of the Estonian story for two decades, and how its closure coincides with #Estonia searching for a new idea of itself. open.substack.com/pub/frestoni...

this is, i suppose a scoldy piece by nature...but that's not really my point. i'm interested in how the online dynamic leads people to accept circumstances they'd never, ever tolerate in the physical world

Screening “After the Rain: Putin’s Stolen Children Come Home” at 🇪🇪 Embassy in Beijing for the second time now. A stark reminder how over 1.6 million 🇺🇦 Ukrainian children are still under russian control in occupied territories or deported. #Estonia remains committed in our support to #BringKidsBack

Dear rest of Europe, 🇺🇦 is keeping russia away from you. If russia can, it will come closer to you. Would you like that? Thought so. Let's act like it. Best wishes, Countries that are committed #Europe #Ukraine #ArmUkraineToWin *See more & argue "per GDP vs Total": www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-a...

Realism- an important thing and a popular word. But there always looms a threat that under the guise of "realism" one presents fatalism or capitulation. Be the context personal career (e.g. what is reachable), societal change (e.g. advocating for animal rights) or helping 🇺🇦 save their country & win.
