Super psyched about this paper, which @oldjerryfodor.bsky.social and I have been working on for two years now. If you're into folk psychology, conceptual development, cognitive ontology, the Big Five, and being hangry, this one's for you.

I’ve just been named subject editor for the new “Animal ethics” area in the SEP, following my complaint that there are too few articles on this topic (serves me right for complaining). So stay tuned for new entries in the area, and hit me up with suggestions on topics that you think merit one!

Do your kids know what you think about immigration these days? 🤔 *They* think they know your views 😮 and it shapes who they see (or do not see) as similar to them and a potential friend. New in JECP with @megannorris.bsky.social, Jane Singman, @kim4663.bsky.social, & Miaomiao Zhang.

I am not sure about the "any kind of noodles" part. I think that Spaghettini n. 3 are very bad, for example. They are the elongated equivalent of penne lisce (a very evil kind of pasta). They should be criminalized (at least in my view).

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
