Our response to commentators for our LoT BBS paper is finally done! philpapers.org/rec/QUITLO-4. We are super lucky and appreciative to have had such insightful, thoughtful commentators. Before highlighting a few of the commentaries I want to clarify: we didn't pick who was accepted!

🚨 Job alert! 🚨 Baruch College is hiring a TT Assistant Professor in the Jewish Studies program! philjobs.org/job/show/31197 Home dept can be: Phil, Soc, Anthropology, Lit, and Modern Languages. Review of applications begins in a week. Apply now! (fyi: we don't need letters yet).

My friends' game came out today and it looks amazing. @bfod is an artist and philosopher, just one that happens to be using video games as his medium at the moment. See, e.g., nytimes.com/2025/09/23/art… polygon.com/baby-steps-rev… ign.com/articles/baby-…

Our entry (with @Ericmandelbaum ) for the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science, “The Language of Thought Hypothesis”, is now out. doi.org/10.21428/e2759…

@elicam95 Wait what? At rush hour?

@Ericmandelbaum So loud apparently they were supposed to fly at 5???

Why are fighter jets flying over Brooklyn the sound made me think I was going into a psychosis

@maggie__murphy Wtf was that?

why does it sound like a plane is about to attempt a crash landing in Brooklyn

AI just works

@levels_of's visit to NYU dev and CUNY cog sci was great, brought the folks out to what on second thought looks like a BK sukkah

Dude didn’t want to publicize it or anything. Just wanted to do something ridiculously nice on his birthday. What a mensch. Dude made my day too

Seen many soup kitchen lunches but nothing ever like this. It’s going to be the most glorious lunch today for 450 food insecure New Yorkers.

For his birthday my man on the left in the green cooked all the chicken and rice you see here for 450 people @CHIPSbrooklyn. Got his friends to help too

@NoamChompers tableofsuccess.hellgatenyc.com/?ref=hellgaten…

seems like there are even more soon-to-be waiters at the table of success

Eric Adams at his most psychedelic may take the top spot

Hard to pick a favorite Eric Adams clip, but this is hard to beat

@NoamChompers @phschlenker_ac Even better in person, somehow

@Ericmandelbaum @phschlenker_ac He’s so good

The incomparable @phschlenker_ac kicked off the new CUNY Cognitive Science season today and it was amazing. Room (and zoom) was packed with smart cool people. Best way to start the year. Come join us! gc.cuny.edu/philosophy/cog…

Extremely excited to share that I will be joining @Cornell as an Assistant Professor of Psychology in Fall 2025! I’m just so thrilled to be joining such a lively department, and the thriving moral psych/philosophy community there.

Nobody knows anything yet. Don't share anything from someone who says they do. Log off. You'll find out when there's something to find out.

Great time to remember that misinformation is not a problem!

@chazfirestone @MatthiasMichel_ @De_dicto Fair enough on all those points (though grant writing...)

@MatthiasMichel_ @Ericmandelbaum @De_dicto love the review too but would press back on “drudgery”! analyzing data, advising lab projects, etc contribute to on-the-ground knowledge of cognitive science that is very hard to achieve otherwise. certainly shaped my perspective, on the field as a whole and on individual issues.

Reading @Ericmandelbaum's great review of "The border between seeing and thinking", by @De_dicto. philpapers.org/rec/MANTBB
