Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered. But what do I expect….1 AR-15 keeps 376 officers at bay.

Rest in peace, Paul Raeburn @praeburn. When we were writing "The Game Theorist's Guide to Parenting," he was always so kind, helpful, and patient with me. He was a great science journalist, a thoughtful father, and giving collaborator. The world is a worse place without him.
Even when we cannot observe what others do in private, we can infer what they likely did from the frequency of their missteps. That's the intuition behind something like a three-strikes rule: you may accept one or two excuses, but after a few, you will discount them.
Been teaching almost exclusively logicy/mathy classes the last four years and, I gotta say, they're just way harder to teach than other philosophy classes
Brilliant. @overleaf's AI grammar tool wants to "correct" my "she" to a "he" because women can't have subjective probabilities, I guess? Top notch AI.
You gotta understand that somehow the word "practice" was always somehow pronounced as italic.
In the early 20th century a bunch of philosophers of sciences angsted about the under-determination of theory by evidence. The next generation were like "no if you look to scientific *practice* its not a problem". But then actually it turned out the practice was just p-hacking.
In my opinion, these kinds of glitches in mathematical reality, places where it diverges strongly from our physical reality, are to be expected because mathematical systems aren't perfect, idealized copies of our physical world.

This is one of the best examples of public philosophy I have ever seen
The "Ship of Theseus" article has been edited 1792 times since it was created in July of 2003. At present, 0% of the phrases in the original article (seen below) remain.
Know an undergraduate who likes philosophy and also likes math? If so, we've got a summer school for them. The CMU Summer School for Logic and Formal Epistemology is accepting applications for Summer 2024. cmu.edu/dietrich/philo…
some stuff which people find fun which is nonetheless fake, and is harmful if you take it seriously: - IQ tests - personality tests - astrology - sci-fi AI doomsday scenarios
I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it's a wonderful introduction. Check out this short book on modeling scientific communities

Hello! Do you like free things that are boring for most people, but really interesting for just a few? Then maybe you'd like a free copy of my book *Modeling Scientific Communities* - downloadable from Cambridge for the next two weeks! cambridge.org/core/elements/…
In "On the Balance of Trade" Hume seems to give the standard comparative advantage argument for allowing the importation of French wine. But, then a few pages later, he gives a protectionist argument for taxing German linen. Anybody have a theory for what's going on here?
Next time you want to complain about the economics Nobel not being a "real Nobel," just remember that Henry Kissinger won a "real Nobel" for peace.

I'm seeing confusion about what the error is here. To be clear it's completely uncontroversial that Kant endorsed a racial hierarchy as described; the second paragraph is definitely correct. The third paragraph is defensible albeit controversial. It's the first that goes wrong...

But to be clear, it's not just a bad news bias: It's also bad economics. "Oh no, my product will definitely fail because my input costs are too low," said no producer ever.

@KevinZollman @overleaf Hi @KevinZollman, thanks for reporting this! This has now been addressed and shouldn't happen again.
Been teaching almost exclusively logicy/mathy classes the last four years and, I gotta say, they're just way harder to teach than other philosophy classes
@lastpositivist Time for the turn to scientific praxis.
You gotta understand that somehow the word "practice" was always somehow pronounced as italic.
In the early 20th century a bunch of philosophers of sciences angsted about the under-determination of theory by evidence. The next generation were like "no if you look to scientific *practice* its not a problem". But then actually it turned out the practice was just p-hacking.
Was recently listening to a podcast when someone said that Noam Chomsky is a phil of language, although his formal training is in linguistics. This made me think of others who are or may be considered phil but whose training is in other disciplines: Amartya Sen, John Roemer,
Judea Pearl, Evelyn Fox Keller, and Sean Carrol. I'm interested in phil too but have nothing like the status of the people I just named. How do you phil feel about non-phil invading your turf? Are you generally OK with this
or do you think we should just stay in our lane (do folks still say that)? @KevinZollman @cailinmeister @ErikAngner @lastpositivist
