My paper with @lgarciaportela.bsky.social asks how climate science fits into this picture.
We argue that climate scientists act as trustees in systems of public reason — balancing expertise with democratic accountability in climate governance. 🌍

Instead, we suggest that their legitimacy is derived from the appropriate role of climate scientists as trustees, who must be held accountable through mechanisms governed by public reason.

I never even considered going to the US. I'd have rather dropped academia ^^

That's a great idea!

Because you know how to write essays and do philosophy. When you are trying to teach students how to do those things in order to be able to assess how good Chat GPT generated stuff is and they hand in essays written by Chat GPT, it is very infuriating...

Obviously, it is degraded, at least if you assume that you have control over your life but no control over your dreams

Degraded in comparison to what? I’d rather dream 5 years (without pain) than die. Simply because I know what dreaming feels like but not dying (and I cannot go back from a dead state, I assume)

I was amazed to see that, in Switzerland, cars stop even if you are jaywalking. In Spain jaywalking is very common, but obv no one stops. They expect you to adapt your pace not to be killed... In Switzerland is the opposite!

Do they want, really? That’s something that worries me a lot. The pressure to do something along those lines seems so high because it is hype atm.
