I've decided to start producing some overview videos about periods, movements, and key thinkers in philosophy. I did one about 19th century philosophy 10 years back, and just released what will be the 2nd in the series, this one focused on Existentialism

A bit late in the day with my reflections about what we discussed in my Foundations of Philosophy classes today. But better late than never, right?

Today we're also celebrating Daniel Kim, HRC postdoc, whose research focuses on combining analytic and phenomenological approaches to the mind, especially in accounting for perception, imagination, and hallucination.

I used to think that a butterfly is basically a caterpillar that has grown wings. The truth is more horrific. Some people suggest that the caterpillar and the butterfly are not even the same animal. See, butterflies just use and then destroy caterpillars in order to get born.

"A caterpillar does not gradually change into a butterfly. The caterpillar's organs are consumed by the new butterfly body to fuel its development." (J. Wilson)

I've been vaguely unhappy about my website for some years. 👻 I started a WordPress blog in 2011, which I tried to replace by static pages with Jekyll in 2018, but I didn't see it through. :LeVarDislike:

Last Summer, I accidentally learned some Python for a research project. :python: This finally gave me the courage to script my way to a fully static website. And it's done now! 😺 I deactivated WP & deleted MySQL database yesterday. :LeVarLike:

People who feel alienated from the neoliberal technocracy correctly disregard fact checking. It is not only that every time you discuss people eating cats there’s an opportunity costs, it’s that such discussions signal your allegiance to the elites who controlled the facts.

As it turns out, women leaders are not likely to act based on their emotion, but men are. Study (N=137) finds women leaders had low levels of abusive supervision regardless of their anxiety. Men leaders engaged in more abusive supervision (being rude, ridiculing, yelling at, or lying to their reports) when their anxiety was higher. hbr.org/2024/09/research-how-a

A is for Alien: An ABC Book – Little Golden Books 👽📖⭐

Pictured here, photos from the review we are relaying is from a not-yet 2 year old who is becoming an early reader with a really good vocabulary. She really liked the “kitty cat” and the “dinosaur doggie” (alien) and was later able to call the Xenomorph “alien” after we read it a few times together.

Who knew that the GLP1 weight loss (and diabetes) drugs were inspired by Gila monsters?!

I just learned this from my Penn colleague Qi Cui.

In the Gila Monster, the chemical is "exendin-4". Here's the summary:

The Gila Monster provides an exceptional model for exendin-4 studies not only because it is the natural source of this peptide, but also because Gila Monsters naturally eat very large meals at infrequent intervals. Gila Monsters primarily consume reptile and bird eggs, hatchlings, or newborn rabbits and rodents and can ingest prey weighing 1/3 of their body mass in one meal. At the other extreme, Gila Monsters can go months without feeding (Beck, 2005). Such a diet must lead to dramatic shifts in digestive and metabolic physiology and likely requires an extraordinary ability to regulate digestive processes. This physiological challenge may have led to the evolution of exendin-4 in Gila Monsters. Due to its rapid increase in plasma after feeding and GLP-1 receptor binding properties, exendin-4 may regulate various digestion and absorption-related events.

sciencedirect.com/science/arti

The discovery of extendin-4 led pharma to create a synthetic counterpart; this is how we arrived at the GLP-1 drugs.

The problem with the factchecking, misinformation, framing of elections is that it reinforces the idea that politics is about easily checked empirical facts, rather than about values, ideologies, and worldviews. This technocratic framing is ironically part of what people are rebelling against.

It's postdoc appreciation week! We here at York feel very lucky to have some wonderful postdocs enriching our research and social environment. Let's celebrate them!

Our final postdoc to be celebrated this week is Bill Wringe! Bill has been working for 25 years at Bilkent University in Ankara, but is currently on leave and employed part-time on Sandrine Berges’ BA funded research project, looking at marginalized voices in the eighteenth century republican tradition. More broadly, he is interested in punishment, social ontology & the philosophy of emotion.
