Very interesting article on how to proceed when you have to cite a (moral) philosopher processed for sexual misconducts:
"When citing the work of ethicists with credible professional sexual misconduct allegations against them, scholars should impartially acknowledge the allegations in footnote".
"When citing the work of ethicists with credible professional sexual misconduct allegations against them, scholars should impartially acknowledge the allegations in footnote".
New article in Hypatia about how social power is conferred by citing, and what to do with creepy ethicists accused of professional sexual misconduct. 👀
The authors propose citing them, but including a note about the allegations. Bibliography as whisper network 💀

Philosophy:
"Alice sees from behind a person she mistakes for Carl. (He’s sitting on Carl’s usual). She leans in whispers into the stranger’s ear:‘It’s me, Alice. I’ve gotta run now, but let’s meet tomorrow at the cafe at noon’. The stranger is deaf, so he doesn’t respond, but he gives a thumbs up."

If there is no causation at the fundamental level of physics, are we non-naturalists about fundamental physics?

Sorry folks, The Rapture has been indefinitely postponed because Jesus got black-bagged by some masked and heavily armed fuckers before he even cleared customs.
Apologies for the delay, but we've no idea where he is.

I have very strong realist intuitions. And most of them probably come from my poor understanding of physics.

New experimental conceptual engineering paper!
Does the name you give to novel ideas affect people's understanding of those ideas? Yes, but only certain kinds of names and less so when the idea is explicitly defined.
