There's so much we can gain by connecting folks in formal philosophy (formal epistemology, decision theory...) with folks in experimental philosophy This workshop is designed to do precisely that, but I'd also be curious to hear other ideas. What other things should we be doing?

New paper from our lab now in @Nature . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined.

@Jill_Jord @rosesomm @PNASNews Is this work inspired by the results of the fifth vignette in "Virtuous Victims"? That was the only vignette where you didn't find a significant Virtuous Victim effect. Now it makes sense!

New paper with @rosesomm, out today in @PNASNews—very proud of this one! “Sexual assault victims face a penalty for adjacent consent” pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…🧵👇 CW: sexual violence

Social norms can be quite complex, and they can take many different forms. In a new paper at @PNASNews, @yohm13 uses a supercomputer to systematically study the evolution of norms. Here you can find the paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@_chanrt_ @MPI_EvolBio Congratulations!!

UPDATE: I sent my first PhD application on October 30th. 21 applications, and 6 stressful months later, I've decided to join @MPI_EvolBio for my PhD. I will soon graduate with a BS-MS (in Physics!) from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

The lovely trip to Plön reminds me of a passage in Thoreau's Walden: I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die,discover that I had not lived.

I'd like to take the opportunity to draw some attention to the new »Faces of X-Phi« series on the X-Phi Blog. The series debuts with Josh Knobe, answering nine questions about the past, present, and future of himself and the field. @xphilosopher #xphi xphi.net/wordpress/2024…
