Fab! Thanks for sending this. (I'll give it a cite in the next batch of work.)

I like the idea. Reading the actual paper? Different story

My first paper on disinformation just published. I argue that disinformation should be understood in pragmatic terms (e.g., changing content to influence choice) not epistemic terms (e.g., inducing inaccurate beliefs). You can view with this link. Spoiler in title.

Disinformation is for degrading the value of information, not confirming falsehoods

New paper out in Nous

Most fun was probably George Saunders, Liberation Day. (Short stories. Who has time to read one long, big story?)

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 3d

ugh

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 3d

And d!

And if you're keeping score, mater and pater had strategically and covertly planned 3-4 ways of getting me into church on this two week trip. One trip fell through, but they have two shots left.

Experiencing a bit of culture shock. In a coffee shop that doesn't serve flat whites and where you're clearly in a minority if you're not talking about your church or reading a Bible. Missing that Australian naturalism/commitment to excellent coffee

But how did your fish end up in a box??? Made of questions here

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 3d

I don't even drive, Matt! And I'd never just run over a box if I were driving.

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 3d

Secretly the correct answer.

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 3d

merry xmas, you bastard

In this box, Inge rationally believes, is her cat. It's been run over. She doesn't realise that in this box was her goldfish.

Which response is fitting?
a the grief she'd feel upon losing a cat
b the grief she'd feel upon losing a goldfish
c the question is ambiguous
d I hate this question/you

Shocking

Help? I need a cache of a page from 2020 but the wayback machine doesn't have a shot. If anyone can help with alternatives, plz let me know. (Will welcome DMs if you want to know the specific page I need help with.)

"Bayesian view and supervenience claim - You cite Sprenger and Hartmann 2019, good"

Claude, proofreading my paper/revealing its ideological bias (which, pleasingly, favours Sprenger and Hartmann)

God it's boring to write up a paper from a handout. Not as boring as reading it, dear reader, but it's awful even if the paper isn't. Hopefully coming soon to a journal near you 🤞

What if the free speech & intellectual diversity grift is a grift?

"Avishai said she had been drawn to UATX initially because she experienced "ideological tribalism" at Harvard. But Avishai said ... she never expected to also find "ideological litmus tests" at UATX"

Texas' 'anti-Harvard' university is losing its founders

Who will teach the "Forbidden Courses" now?

Internal approval to submit an expression of interest for a grant in a competition we're all nearly certain to lose. LET'S GO!

Are you a fan of Severance by any chance?

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 18d

Ah, it's been too long. Might need to rewatch.

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 18d

FGTs? (Haven't seen it in ages and ages--great choice)

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 18d

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 18d

One of my all time favourites

Will SCOTUS end up saying that Presidential immunity flows down?

Hate a bike thief, but especially one who drives an Audi. Couple of pics of a local bike thief at work.

I hate that he's said something true

Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

It would be just my luck if he is but not the one I'd been hoping for

Clayton Littlejohn @cmlittlejohn.bsky.social · 20d

Just found out that I have a neighbour named David Byrne and he apparently is in music. It's doing my head in.
