I'd love to read the paper if there's one available. All the best with your talk!

📌

Enjoy the TT. That's a good decision.

Joke's on you. I do neither. I only have time for teaching and admin. 😭

"I always wanted to listen to academic papers in my car...". I'm calling bullshit. 😝

Fails to mention: "and was a really nice person to boot."🤩

My Doctorvater's PhD involved building an omnidirectional treadmill for dewinged flies to demo spatial cognition. Postdoc on Bayesian sensory cue integration because he liked computers. TT on object recog because psychophysics was boring.

True story.

Thanks for the create and share.

It is not elitist to value education.

Many of us chose to give up comfort pleasures and career security for higher education. I am an immigrant, with working class parents, who scrubbed toilets to pay undergrad tuition.

I'm going to have to read up on the caliphate. So please treat my opinions as uninformed.

I do not share your faith in the masses' ability to self-govern (overnight). If we are evolving, it is a slow process and perhaps we'll see viable systems emerge beyond my lifetime.

Every empirical study demands replication. Here we go again.

Human civilization seems to gravitate towards needing individual figures, to personify common values and shared ideals.

Such institution(s) should be done away with, but I'm not sure what we would replace it with, without risking organized society.

IMO Pope Francis was a suitable role model.
