Before law school, Crystal Clanton lived for a year with Clarence and Ginni Thomas. Whatever else is off about Clanton (and there is evidence of more), that connection makes it unethical for C. Thomas to have hired her as a Supreme Court clerk. That is a position of public trust and just the appearance of awarding the post on the basis of a personal relationship is ethically inappropriate.

The more I think about this, the more I think that it shows how thoroughly unethical #ClarenceThomas is, precisely because hiring a clerk with whom he has a prior personal relationship is, for Thomas, a comparatively minor ethical wrong. But it shows how pervasively corrupt he is. His moral sense can never be trusted. This makes him unfit to be a judge let alone a Supreme Court Justice.#LawFedi #JudicialEthics

Dass vor allem so viele #GrĂŒne Ziel von Angriffen werden, das bedeutet doch, dass es gegen die ganz besonders an zivilisierten Gegenargumenten fehlt, oder?

Vandaag sta ik stil bij de dappere arbeiders die in verzet kwamen tegen de bezetter, en die nooit zijn opgehouden zich uit te spreken tegen genocidale haat. Opdat wij allemaal zo moedig worden. 23/23

The Conservatives havenât sacked Lee Anderson because heâs a bigot - theyâve always known heâs a bigot, being a bigot is 90% of his identity and heâs never hidden his odious views. No, the Conservatives have removed the whip because heâs embarrassed them. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68392621 #ukpolitics

Hat #BSW auĂer einem Sieg Russlands ĂŒber die Ukraine und der Zerschlagung der #EU, um Europa #Putin auszuliefern, eigentlich noch andere Ziele?
Ach ja, russisches Gas kaufen.
Also wenn die #noAfD die Stimme des deutschen #Faschismus im Bundestag ist, dann ist BSW die Stimme des russischen Faschismus?

My paper 'The Information-Processing Perspective on Categorization' is now out #openaccess :OpenAccess: in Cognitive Science. I go through how prototype-based and exemplar-based categorization (and what philosophers sometimes call "atomic" concepts) can in fact be understood as different manifestations of the same rate-distortion optimization process. It comes with a jupyter notebook, so that you folks can tinker with it if you feel like it @cogsci

Of late, I have been in a lot of conversations about governance. Conversations which, like the title of a Clint Eastwood western, could be described as the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The transition from sense-certainty to perception is an important one when youâre trying to understand Hegel, because so much of Hegelâs philosophy revolves around his suspicion of any concept of âimmediate knowledge.â All your knowledge is mediated not just through the ideas already present in your mind, but also through the customs and habits of the culture to which you belong, the specifics of the education youâve had, your relationships...

Het is belangrijk om te onthouden dat de staking het initiatief was van communisten die, geheel in lijn met hun politieke overtuigingen, in opstand kwamen voor hun Joodse kameraden. Al te vaak wordt namelijk 'vergeten' welke filosofie ten grondslag lag aan de staking. 2/23

Here's a bit that will break your heart:
Over the last few
years, the number of psychological journals that prefer to publish short, hard-hitting
research reports instead of long, ponderous treatises has increased considerably. And
everyone wants to publish in those new journals. The aim is no longer to publish a grand
theoretical model that takes dozens of pages to explain, but to show an intriguing effect
that takes everyone by surprise. The shorter and more amazing, the better. ... I wanted to emulate my heroes, for whom it seemed to be childâs play to sum up
humanity in clever one-liners such as âAltruism doesnât exist,â âHuman behavior is 94.6%
automatic,â ... Iâd never found anything that even remotely resembled these amazing discoveries. .... Reality was fickle, and that was exhausting.A few weeks ago I was in the newspaperâin fact, I was in all the newspapers. I had
published a study that showed that messy streets lead to greater intolerance. In a messy
environment, people are more likely to resort to stereotypes of others because trash makes
you want to clean it up, and the use of stereotypes lets you feel as though youâre cleaning
things up. .... The publication of this study in Scienceâthe most prestigious journal of them allâ
caused a sensation, and made headlines around the world. The coolest aspect of the study was the way in which it combined careful laboratory
research with field studies that people could relate to. ... It was a clever, simple, logical, and obvious idea, but the empirical
tests were completely imaginary. The lab research hadnât been carried out. The field
studies never happened.
