How should we make sense of the Trump administration’s assault on Trans rights? In episode 125 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk to philosopher Talia Mae Bettcher about her new book Beyond Personhood: An Essay in Trans Philosophy.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster...

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster...

Love: universal truth or just really good PR?
Check out my latest article in @psyche.co where I take a skeptical look at the stories we tell about romantic love. Spoiler: they’re not as timeless or universal as they seem.

After years of delays, my article, "When is Jealousy Appropriate?" finally emerged online—no heads-up from Dialectica! Google Scholar found it first. Dated 2021, but live in 2024. Read it here: assets.philosophie.ch/dialectica/d... #philosophy #jealousy #emotions

Escaping Musk’s ego-driven dumpster fire and Zuckerberg’s new 'facts optional' playground. Ready to see if Bluesky can be the platonic form of social media or just another cave of shadows. What’s the vibe here?
