1. Excited to see this out in the world! We (Stephan Pohl, @eywalker, myself, Jenn Lee, @rndenison, @De_dicto, Florent Meyniel and @weijima01) present an account of evidence for representations in the brain. arxiv.org/abs/2403.14046

Dead body of 30 year old Shani Louk was paraded naked in the back of Hamas pickup truck in Gaza. Irena Akbar is whitewashing that horrible inhumane act and defending Hamas' terrorists. It is really sad that such people live in our country. #HamasTerrorists #IsraelUnderAttack
@jayvanbavel It's ridiculous to frame this as victimless when this kind of shoddy social psych research created whole paradigms that sucked up all the attention from science journalists and pop-sci publishers; recruited talented, driven students to bullshit pursuits; and misled the public.
IIT has many problems. but "pseudoscience" is like dropping a nuclear bomb over a regional dispute. it's disproportionate, unsupported by good reasoning, and does vast collateral damage to the field far beyond IIT. as in vietnam: "we had to destroy the field in order to save it."
a key point about impact on the field, from the perspective of a policy maker: when you say "IIT is pseudoscience" loud enough, many people hear/infer "consciousness research is pseudoscience". well worth reading. x.com/jjolij/status/…

Neither PsyArxiv preprint had substantial scientific or philosophical arguments supporting the label of "pseudoscience". As many have said, calling your opponents pseudoscientists with enormous peer and social media pressure is not the way to go. We are better than this!
IMHO the recent 124-author open letter has done immeasurable damage to the field. To outsiders and students pondering the viability of this field: There are many reputable C scientists who did not sign this letter; and some of the signees do not actually work in the field.

Cannot recommend this book highly enough. It’s sci-fi by an author of literary fiction, beautifully written and impossible to put down.
tom nagel's keynote talk at @ASSC26nyc: "psychophysical monism as an ideal". this is a rare video of tom discussing consciousness. now emeritus at NYU, tom rarely speaks at conferences, but this one was just two blocks from his home so he couldn't say no. youtube.com/watch?v=VU4u-L…
Very pleased that this debate with @StoljarD is now in print. He’s an excellent sparring partner — though as far as I know, no cage match is planned.

Why did so many hunter gatherer groups around the world nearly-simultaneously and in an unconnected way develop agriculture? This has been a kinda problematic question in human prehistory. It may have been solved... by an economist? Studying the economics of... Earth's orbit?
We often exaggerate salient features of faces, and even misremember them that way—a kind of 'mental caricature'. How general is this? In @PsychScience, Zekun Sun shows that we also caricature some of the most basic stimuli we encounter: geometric shapes! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
@AlonHafri @De_dicto @MatthiasMichel_ for what it's worth, i think the evidence about the interplay between perception and working memory tells against a format difference philpapers.org/rec/QUIROP-3
@quiltydunn @De_dicto @MatthiasMichel_ @De_dicto thanks for these points! Especially re: perception vs. WM. I agree this particular finding doesn't directly address predicate-argument structure, but I think some of our other findings do palresearch.org/papers/Hafri%2… (& newer followups to that work osf.io/preprints/psya…)
@De_dicto @MatthiasMichel_ @AlonHafri i agree that this particular finding doesn't show logical operators or inferential promiscuity, though
@De_dicto @MatthiasMichel_ @AlonHafri how could perception represent IN or ON with role-filler independence without having predicate-argument structure? wouldn't IN(x,y) need to be represented with a two-place argument structure (i.e., the roles that arbitrary objects could fill)?
In philosophy, even a man's beard is more noteworthy than women's substantive contributions. See: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #GreatMenTheory
Not enough people talk about how great Dennett's beard was. Full, consistent, always trimmed - classic, iconic, even.
Dretske, Fodor, and Dennett are all gone. At least we still have Millikan... Keep her healthy! Feels like the whole generation that created the world I grew up in is slipping away.
Same for me. Even in my heady youth (when I was mind-blown about consciousness 24/7) I couldn't get into a headspace where there seemed like a deep issue of how to reconcile free will and determinism.
I am learning that I am apparently one of very few people who actually finds compatibilism pretty intuitive? Like I always thought free will just meant that I am the one doing the choosing, not total independence of the causal nexus - what would that even be anyway?
