Here's some info on my reserch, given this influx of more followers than I can possibly be interesting enough for:

Atm I am writing on epistemic injustice interrupting social input to self-knowledge, and how false testimony can 'resonate' in the ways metaphors do, so shouldn't always be dismissed.

How can the ambiguity arising from discontinuity of our self and our illness lead to misunderstanding and alienation? Today's post is by Jodie Russell (University of Birmingham) on her recent paper “Prescriptive ‘selves’ and self-illness ambiguity”.

Some MAHA activists are extremely frustrated that Trump has blamed the existence of autism on Tylenol, and not vaccines.
Anti-vax groups struggle to explain how Tylenol fits in with their whole thing
The White House's very weird autism announcement triggers a moment of opportunity and crisis.

New paper accepted!🎉

Is Taylor Swift responsible for how she makes her fans feel?

Yes; the notion of affective power (the ability to influence how others feel) can help identify the responsibilities celebrities have towards their fans.

Surprising link found between aesthetic chills and political extremism
Surprising link found between aesthetic chills and political extremism
Researchers have uncovered a surprising link between political extremism and emotional chills—those shivers or goosebumps people feel during powerful music or speeches—suggesting that intense bodily reactions may reflect deeper psychological and ideological patterns across the political spectrum.

Actors, videogame players and VR users often experience *imaginative contagion* - imaginatively adopted attitudes persist into daily life.

My paper explains why this occurs and answers the concern that it may result in our acquiring immoral attitudes.

Gentrification, migration, and non-material injustice
Gentrification can harm residents at a personal and emotional level, even when they are not physically displaced. Recognising these non-material harms as a source of wrongful ‘phenomenological disp...
