La recherche basée sur la discussion méthodique appuyée sur les faits et le raisonnement, ne peut pas exercer sa mission d'intérêt général si elle est soumise à la validation politique a priori.

Annulation d’un colloque sur la Palestine au Collège de France : la chaîne du scandale
L’annulation, sous pression du ministre de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche, d’un colloque du Collège de France consacré à la Palestine, constitue un opprobre démocratique et scientifique.

🔥New paper out!🔥

Here, Grant & I defend a novel, multidimensional account of behavioural innovativeness that is multilevel too. This complicates comparative claims, as the links btwn individual & group innovativeness are far from straightforward.

Yes, #Neanderthals do pop up in the mix 💀🏺
#philsky
🚨What is behavioral innovativeness? And how can we make sense of claims that individuals or taxa are 'more innovative' than others? In their new EJPS paper, Grant Ramsey & @andrameneganzin.bsky.social defend a novel, multidimensional & multilevel account of innovativeness.👇

You might have heard that psychology has a WEIRD problem. Though it aims to understand human minds, many of its studies have historically been skewed towards WEIRD minds.

In this 🚨NEW PAPER🚨, @kristinandrews.bsky.social and I argue that comparative cognition also has a WEIRD problem. 👇🧵 1/17

J'ai fait une réponse bien trop courte à la question de @nicolasherbeaux.bsky.social « A-t-on les moyens d'accueillir les chercheurs américains ».

Je vais faire un développement ici, parce que ça me parait important (et chiant, mais ça m'a réveillé à 5h donc il faut que ça sorte).

@jeffsebo.bsky.social @birchlse.bsky.social and I put a lot of philosophy into our new Science Perspective on animal consciousness. Mill's analogical argument + inference to the best explanation + careful experiments = justification for consciousness in many animals. Where might it end?
