Definitely no one banging ghosts or weird glowing lights from space, either.

What are your favorite fictional depictions of actual philosophers? I like Plato, Aristotle, and Diogenes in Reign: The Conqueror.

"Centrist" is not the same as "unbiased" or "impartial" AT ALL. One can be heavily biased towards a centrist position. This basic mistake is ubiquitous, e.g., in these stupid "media bias" charts. Whatever biased-unbiased means (if anything), it is orthogonal to left-center-right.

I'm having a pretty good time in China!

On my flight headed to China! Looking forward to visiting Fudan University and ECNU in Shanghai and Zhejiang University in Hangzhou. I'll be talking about John Dewey, #philsci, #cogsci, and much else! And hopefully a little sightseeing. See you in 16+ hours.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale would like to submit these two very pragmatic dogs, who are also research assistants at the @deweycenter.siu.edu

My session at the APA Eastern is Thursday 11:00am-12:50pm (assuming I make it with the weather delays). The app doesn't have all the session information, but the full details are in the full program - its an author-meets-critics session on my Science and Moral Imagination. #philsky #philsci

Does anyone know who this is a picture of? Is it George Axtelle?

Quite disturbed by this list, posted by @medievaliste.bsky.social, of academic institutions that PAID a company to surveil student and faculty social media.
