We'll explore the idea that understanding science's human aspects can inform its practice and progress. The seminar will focus on how psychological methods can contribute to this understanding. DM for the link.

Still to knit cuffs on the sleeves and pick up and knit a band along the whole front and neck... but really happy with the progress. About one three weeks work so far.
Yarn: 70% cotton, rest alpaca/merino mix Ecopuno Print by Lana Grossa, really lovely to work with.

Reading student #philosophy essays. One student has submitted on Cook Ding in the #Zhuangzi, and calculation using the finger abacus method. They have included an exquisite line saying the finger abacus is, "a language spoken with the touch of the fingertips."

Have you ever worried that you'd get caught in an authenticity bubble while scrolling down your social media feed to kill some time? Aren't you even quite sure what authenticity bubbles are and how they relate to boredom in the digital age? No worries, @virtually and me have you covered with our most recent article, just published in Philosophy & Technology:

I need liberals to understand that insisting upon the limits of what's politically possible under this system just reinforces people's belief that system is broken, especially when one of the big limits is "what Democrats can be bothered to try."
Nobody is a fan of this system the way you are.

Study (N=163) finds women professors did 75% of internal service work; men 25%. Women viewed it as compliance or an investment; men dodged with evasiveness or used barter. Yet men did 50% of external service work, which was more career-enhancing. https://kifinfo.no/en/2024/03/women-end-doing-academic-housework

Elon Musk is elevating the global extreme right
https://disconnect.blog/elon-musk-is-building-ties-with-the-global-extreme-right/
“#Musk’s #business, #political, and personal interests are often intertwined. He’s undoubtedly seeking to preserve his own #power and grow his empire, but he’s also looking to move forward the #right-wing project that he vocally advocates on #Twitter and in virtually any interview he gives these days.”

For those interested in or looking to help out a Florida state legislative campaign, this seat for the Florida state legislature is flippable for Democrats and couldn’t come at a more important time for Florida voters to vote Republicans out.

I'm looking back at this paper written 2019 & published 2021 with @andrea How Computational Modeling Can Force Theory Building in Psychological Science (pdf: https://oliviaguest.com/doc/guest_martin_21.pdf) We presented a positive view and kind, if I do say so myself, compatibilist stance.
In the intervening years, which of course haven't been too many, I've noticed some things have changed, but I'm not sure for the better or in alignment with the spirit of what we asked and hoped for. I'll outline what I see... 1/

How to use automated theorem software to prove new theorems:
1) Before you start, think carefully about how to encode the problem in the program you are going to use. For instance, can you replace a high level concept with an equivalent first order formulation so that it will run more efficiently?
2) Type your input file. It's OK to recycle old ones from related projects to save some typing.
3) Run the program. Sometimes these jobs have to run for quite some time, so go do something else for a while, such as getting a beverage of your choice.
4) While you were away, the program found a proof. Enjoy the mutually supportive feelings of discovery and elation.
5) Look at the proof output. In the very last line, the program derived something equivalent to "for all x,y, x=y". But you know there exist nontrivial examples. Suffer from the mutually supportive feelings of loss and despair.
6) Look at the input file.
If there is a typo, fix it and go back to step 3. If there is no typo, but you have misformulated something, go back to step 1.
7) You will never get past step 6.
