I wrote a short piece remembering Helen De Cruz, who passed away yesterday. philipgoff.substack.com/p/helen-de-cru…

Helen was a rare person: an incredibly talented polymath but also unwaveringly kind to all who knew them. Such a crushing loss to the philosophy community and to those who loved her. Sending strength to her loved ones at this overwhelmingly sad time 💜

Happy that I finally got a tenured job and I no longer have to worry about the instability of academia. It will be at the University of Roma Tre, where I will teach Phil of Biology & Phil of Cognitive Science. I can't wait to start.

You can wrong people with physical actions. 🥊 You can wrong people with how you think about them. 🤡 But can you wrong people with how you see them? 🫣 @TomMcClelland1 of @CambridgeHPS stopped by @OU_Philosophy recently to argue YES. Watch... 👀👀👀 archive.org/details/202310…

@AzitaChellappoo talks about Agency in Cultural Evolution #ISH2023 She argues that cultural selection explanations often downplay/de-emphasise human agency and discusses the consequences of this

@PonchoRebound I had the exact same thought watching the trailer!! I was also disappointed because I feel like it’s so out of character for Ken (or what I imagine Ken as)

Hot Take: the joke in the Barbie trailer where Ken can’t understand that a woman is a doctor doesn’t make any sense. All the doctors in his world are Barbies. The joke would work better if he demands to see a woman because where he’s from men aren’t doctors.

Please do sign up and come along to this talk next week, it looks really good!! What do COVID-19 responses tell us about the shadow price of liberty? Ben Watkins Wed 21st June 7-8PM

@QuillRKukla I think in general a lot of people have this mindset that dating preferences are uncriticisable. Eg, many people have openly stated their racial dating prefs directly to me, including people who would identify as anti-racist etc
