That’s great! I love Georgetown becoming a hub for aesthetics! Arizona and auburn are consolidating too much influence lol

I do recognize that the ai industry is much larger now but at least the arts aren’t a bubble!

Contrast those with the fact that the passport says “name” and not “name at birth” and you can change your name on the passport. So by the same logic, “sex” does not refer to a historical fact but a contemporaneous fact that one could change.

This looks really great! I think you do a good job of covering both philosophy of popular music and “philosophy of music”. Those two mostly don’t neatly cooperate. it’s tempting to pick a lane, so it’s cool that you found a way to avoid that! Also, I’m honored to be included!

I do think people do all those things, and most people I’ve talked to say it’s the best part, so I say make that part the whole thing!

I just can’t help but think I would benefit from more time with the people I am working with & responding to, but we’re all tied up in concurrent sessions. Maybe this is something that can be separate from the conference? I just want a week long this AOS-meetup. Ideally at an all inclusive lol

You can spend the day in conversation with the person you argue in the literature with, drilling down on the crux of a disagreement, solicit feedback from a wide range of people, or sneak off with a coauthor and hammer out a collaboration over a couple days.

Reading a little bit about unconferences now! They still look very structured, just organized the day of or kind of ad hoc. I am imagining something more like the completely unstructured environment of the enlightenment salon. Just the post conference bar portion of today but for 3 full days.

You repeat this process again for 3 days! The fact of the matter is that you give the talk informally a dozen times & get better feedback this conversational way. Why carve out one and say “during this one, no food, no drink, no moving, no leaving, be quiet!”? Just use the program as an icebreaker!

This is just the recognition of the reality of the conference. You don’t give a talk, you give the talk to six people with a projector at the time on the program, then someone at lunch asks “what was your talk on?” And you give it again, then again at dinner and two more times at the bar.
