ABSTRACT: In statistics and causal modeling it is common for a selection process to induce correlations in a subset of an uncorrelated ensemble. We propose that EPR and Bell correlations are selection artefacts of this kind. …1/

Still thrilled to have been a bit player in the BEST of Australian satire!

Fascinating stuff. Would the Nobel prizes get unawarded in the recollapsing phase? @seanmcarroll.bsky.social? #philsky #arrowoftime

Heftig. Dieses Foto ist vor wenigen Minuten im New York entstanden wo Mamdani aufs Rathaus gestiegen ist um eine kommunistische Fahne anzubringen. Wie man sieht liegt die Stadt schon Stunden nach seinem Sieg auf seinen Befehl in Trümmern

The Dickens quote reminded me that when we went to Siberia in 2017, it looked to me like Norfolk.

How did you encounter Salisbury Plain? We lived below the northern edge of it when I was 7 to 13, so it was accessible on foot, army rules permitting.

Do you know of her sister-in-law, the photographer Lotte Meitner-Graf? The NPG collection includes a portrait of Meitner.

Dickens, after seeing a prairie: “I would say to every man who can't see a prairie—go to Salisbury Plain, Marlborough Downs, or any of the broad, high, open lands near the sea. Many of them are fully as impressive, and Salisbury Plain is *decidedly* more so.”

Right @michaelmorrisphil.bsky.social?

Question for @martinkusch.bsky.social – which rose is this?

Huw Price @huwprice.bsky.social · 8d

Philosophy itself is safe, obviously.

Huw Price @huwprice.bsky.social · 8d

Not unless it is actually a rose thorn. I do have this beast.

Lovely, though it would have been more topical a couple of days ago – a creature who turns into a cousin in a full moon.

This reminds me of the former German Embassy, next door. I once had lunch in Cambridge with their Science Attaché and Martin Rees. Martin enjoyed telling him that when he was President of the Royal Society, he had had Ribbentrop’s office.

Season finale of Slow Horses was filmed at my office! We’ve already had Spooks and James Bond so if you are thinking of filming a new Jason Bourne movie give me a call
