In 1873, inspired by Pushkin, Tolstoy wrote to a friend rejoicing that he would finish drafting *Anna Karenina* in 15 days. It took him 4 more years.
He would've been a great academic.

If you’re looking for the sharpest new work in epistemology—engaging both classic and contemporary questions—Carolina's papers are a must-read!!
We all know beliefs can stubbornly resist evidence. Flat Earthers, climate deniers, our own political convictions—facts often seem totally incapable of changing minds.
But here’s the puzzle: Philosophy usually defines belief as *responsive to evidence*. So is the orthodox view just… wrong? 1/
