Smart Moral Technologies and Anti-Intellectualism about Abilities, Michał Klincewicz
Gloria Andrada and Adam J. Carter—"Mind-Technology Problems for Know-How Anti-Intellectualism," 2025—use the Mind-Technology problem (MTP) framework (Clowes, Gärtner, and Hipólito 2021) as a basis for theorizing about skills and know-how. More specifically, they focus on anti-intellectualism about know-how, so the view that S knows how to do X in virtue of S having the ability to intentionally X. Anti-intellectualism is contrasted with intellectualism about know-how, so the view that S knows how to do X in virtue of knowing that something is the case or knowing some fact (Stanley and Williamson 2011; Bengson and Moffett 2007).

The effects of beliefs on correcting misinformation in memory
We are faced with false information (misinformation) and corrections regularly. Typically, we have no problem correcting misinformation. However, there are individual differences in how effective p...

I tend to give small emerging fields the benefit of the doubt. So folks may ask me why I speak out strongly against IIT. I do so because it is neither small nor emerging any more and moved from ideation to scale up essentially without any convincing evidence.

@deanbuono.bsky.social I worry that this pivot to physics will lend plausibility to the idea that Giulio Tononi is like Einstein, IIT is like general relativity, and the critics of IIT are like 100 angry 'establishment' tribunals signing letters against. Astrology is a better analogy imo
The most succinct reason I think IIT is pseudoscience is that you can't propose a new law of physics without bothering to check if it's consistent with the existing laws. Physics is an incomplete puzzle, which does not mean you can make up new pieces willy-nilly.
