New paper with Teresa Bruno: "Ill-Being as Dissonance".
A sort of companion piece to my 2020 paper "Well-Being as Harmony".

Teresa and I chart the territory of what an account of ill-being might look like.

Teresa Bruno-Niño & Hasko Von Kriegstein, Ill-Being as Dissonance - PhilPapers

The epistemology of fascism is not cult-like, rigid dogmatism. It's "lol-nothing-matters, they're all a bunch of liars" cynicism. That is the mindset that will pliantly accept whatever authoritarian excesses Trump engages in, and both Trump and Elon are 100% aware of that.

Would it be possible to add that function to PhilJobs?

When searching the Philjobs.org database, is there a way to filter out jobs in specific countries?

Would be useful if, hypothetically, I didn't want to work in country X but there are lots of jobs posted in country X cluttering up my search results...

There's no way I'm going to the US right now. Especially not for an academic conference.
With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.


I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Now I'm imagining a world in which all of Musk's horrible actions over the past years are part of a longterm plan to make conservatives buy EVs.
Elon told his Daddy he is upset.

Pay attention to what JD Vance and Musk are saying to Europe. They are upset that Europe is not giving them full "free speech" rights in digital information. Translation: MAGA won in a swamp of disinformation, much of it on SM platforms like X. They want RW govts in Europe, using the same model.

To me the moral of The Boy Who Cried Wolf is that the downside risk of ignoring warnings can be very bad even if the messenger is very annoying and unreliable

It only counts as a ‘quick question’ if it’s quick to answer, not if it’s quick to ask. Especially in emails.

If you're working on well-being/welfare submit an abstract by April 10, and hang out in Germany with me.

I've been to this workshop twice and it's been great.

This year, I'm on the organizing committee, so let me know if you have any questions.

"best before" is such a braggy way of saying "legally-guaranteed to be not poisonous until"

Als deutscher Politiker noch auf Twitter zu sein, ist wie bei Pegida zu sprechen. Man erreicht nichts ausser der Bühne mehr Relevanz zu verleihen. Deutschland hat Glück gehabt, dass Twitter hier nie richtig gross geworden ist. Jetzt sollte man dort wirklich abhauen.

you can tell whether you're an optimist or a pessimist about social media by whether you think it's too early or too late to give the Nobel in literature to @dril.bsky.social
