It’s a strange kind of nostalgia I feel when I long for the future I thought in the past that the present would be.

We won’t be exterminated by the cunning brilliance of artificial intelligence but by the malevolent greed of human stupidity.

People often ask me if I use LLMs to write. My answer is always the same: I do not. They are not my intended audience.

Brilliant to meet with Thomas Piketty at the Paris School of Economics. We discussed monetary and fiscal policy, bond markets, the climate crisis and global wealth taxes. Also recorded a podcast for @boldpolitics.bsky.social - out soon!

These days I've been thinking a lot about nostalgia again. Because I think what I am feeling is nostalgia for the future that, in the past, I thought the present would be. Some old thoughts in nostalgia, memory and imagination: aeon.co/essays/nosta...

Many have heard the expression “All models are wrong but some models are useful”. I prefer its counter-positive: “All models are wrong and most models are useless”, which I think more closely captures a lot of science.

Recently, Cliff Sosis interviewed me for his website “what is it like to be a philosopher”, and my interview is now available online. It was fun, and sometimes Illuminating, to reflect on my career so far and to answer his questions. Link below! Would love to hear your thoughts!

Liza Bortolotti has done a beautiful job compiling a series of brilliant pieces to commemorate the invaluable philosophical legacy of Dan Dennett. I’m so grateful for having been invited to contribute and can’t wait to read it all!

At the end of my book on Memory and Remembering, I suggested that the debate between causalism and simulationism in the philosophy of memory is ill-construed. This suggestion caused some controversy, and I thought it would be a good idea to articulate that suggestion as clearly as possible. (1/2)

Trust in others and institutions predicts subjective well-being and vice versa. This makes me even more attuned to the costs of people and systems that undermine trust. The decay of trust as a public health issue. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/bul0...
