Generally, an *excellent* symposium with @iberent.bsky.social , Clara Colombarto and @davidchalmers.bsky.social. Wonderful talks and discussions by all speakers 👏👏👏 #ASSC28

@matanmazor.bsky.social is giving now one of the best talks I’ve heard at ASSC meetings, suggesting that dualists are perceived as warmer and more ethical than physicalists, and that this might drive dualistic intuitions. Brilliant!!! #ASSC28

#ASSC28 provides a great overview of various methods, tasks and measures used to study consciousness. Yet as a result, integrating empirical studies is challenging. On 9/7, 9:40 (Philosophy session) I will present a novel task ontologies approach aiming to address this issue @assc28.bsky.social

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.
