The archive where I'm working for the next two weeks has the largest single collection I've ever heard of: 15 shelf-kms! That's almost 50,000 linear feet!! (It's the complete property records going back to the 1820s for the entire province of Noord-Holland, which includes Amsterdam.)

The first ever "Three Societies Meeting" has ended. It was wonderful to bring together so many scholars and friends to discuss the history of psychology, the history of the behavioral and social sciences, and the history of the human sciences. Let's not wait another sixty years to do it again!

I think this was meant to refer to pages 423-424. But without fancy modern searching tools, how would anyone be able to track that down in a reasonable amount of time? (I guess that's why checking quotes and references is a kind of rigor....)

Can someone who knows Husserl please explain how this index entry refers to a page that isn't contained within the book? This is from the English translation of Husserl's (1948/1973) "Experience and Judgment." The book ends on page 443. What I want is on page 521. (How?)

English is the second language of Europe. But although fluency has increased since 2012 among 55+, it's spoken mainly—and increasingly—by young people (under 35). This enhances the EU's "freedom of movement" (Art 21 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU).

There are so many trashy videos that are like "you might be #autistic if..." or "you might have #adhd if...." And I think they're unprofessional; even unethical. But if you are indeed the sort of person who is bothered about the ambiguity of which sock goes on which foot, just get labeled socks.

For my guest lecture in @wittingslow.bsky.social's "Knowledge, signs & meaning" bachelor course, I decided to illustrate a point about meaning-change in the history of memetics. The distracted boyfriend meme is used to present Quine's field linguist: he ignores "gavagai" in favour of "lo, a rabbit."

I haven't been so excited about a new book in a long time: "Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology for Mathematics Education Research." Published yesterday, so I still need to wait for my copy to arrive.

This is the chart from the Dutch public health service (RIVM). It shows that we're in the middle of the worst wave ever. By far. There's no news about this either.

News from the Oliver Sacks Foundation:
Zachary Quinto will play Oliver Sacks in a new show, Dr Wolf, inspired by "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and "An Anthropologist on Mars." (The description reads to me like House, except focusing on the brain.)

May I please teach three grad sections of "Important books to read and think about" using this list? One section for psychology, education, & linguistics; one section for philosophy, sociology, & anthropology; one for economics, management, and political science.
