What is this ‘attention economy’? Is there really a market where people buy and sell human attention? If so, what’s wrong with that? New paper by Katharine Browne and me that argues: yes, there is an attention market and yes, there is something wrong with it. 🧵

The attention market—and what is wrong with it - Philosophical Studies
Attention is described as a “scarce commodity” that is traded in “a marketplace.” This, it is further claimed, contributes to a “widespread sense of attentional crisis.” But is there really an attenti...

I wonder how much disagreement comes from some folks interpreting “X does Y” as “X only does Y and Y is only done by X”, while others interpret it as “X is an important part of the Y process”?

I suspect some, but not all.

New book— just got my copy! I know people often don’t read book chapters but I think that’s a mistake. They are usually much more reflective and wide ranging than journal articles.

#73 In the Belly of a Paradox with author Parker Palmer ❣️ Love is in listening 📚 Palmer says paradox is a “survival concept”, an idea that feels especially helpful right now. He also says love may be what is holding us even when we cannot feel it. #loveandphilosophy #meaning #hope #courage #podcast

Asked two senior philosophers I admire for some reading suggestions and both replied the same day with detailed, thoughtful guidance. And just read an excellent PhD thesis in hermeneutical injustice. Our field has so much to love. #PhilSky

Here is "AI Consciousness: A Centrist Manifesto". I've been working on this feverishly because the issue seems to me so urgent - and I'm worried extreme positions on both sides are becoming locked in, when the best way forward is in the centre. Please read it! philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4
