I finally listened to the interview between Fitelson and @seanmcarroll.bsky.social re inductive logic / confirmation, and I really enjoyed it. I love how this area combines logic, psychology, and epistemology. That kinda interdisciplinary research is 👨🍳 💋

Excited to share that I’ve been awarded an @theihs.org Humane Studies grant for my research on polarization and AI!
In these times of uncertainty, it’s uplifting to see institutions supporting work on social conflict.
Looking forward to what’s ahead! 🚀 #Polarization #AI #Research #Grant
