After the last BE6 workshop one attendant said to me: this was awesome and I'll organize something like this at home; but without anyone giving a paper.

"given how little we know, we should adopt a precautionary principle!" OK cool, so we stop AI development? "...No" We slow it down or ensure it doesn't become a moral patient that requires us to divert resources from humans to it? "No not that" OK so then what? "Oh, you know"

Could be what's rare is the combination of that personality type and being online/having social media reach

If you write David Bourget an email about this, there's a good chance this will get fixed for philpapers platforms with a future update. (I don't have a solution for the more general problem but I sympathize - my last name gets bungled by English systems as well)

Given that my high school is over 500 years old, I expected to totally crush you on this. But disappointingly the best we can do is Georg Philipp Telemann and Anne Frank's dad.

I think that's fair. But I also suspect that the norms regarding this are about to change.

Hasko von Kriegstein @vonkriegstein.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Right. But what about the editor who sent this out for review? Are they a professional philosopher?

Four Aspects of Harmony [today's blog post, link in thread] What is it to harmonize with the world? Inspired by @vonkriegstein.bsky.social, I suggest: 1. Mental correspondence (e.g., knowing, achievements in tune with the world) 2. Positive attitudes (e.g., joy, approval, appreciation) [1/2]

I submitted final revisions for a paper just a few weeks before Trump announced his first presidential run. It features an example of him acting as a political donor. I really wish that example wasn't in there.

The logic, presumably, is that they need to fear you, so that the won't take liberties. If you're of a purely transactional mindset yourself, this kinda makes sense.

Here's the 2020 paper. In it I wrote that well-being is constituted by "being attuned to, or at home in, the world" and that "being disoriented, ill-at-ease in, or hostile to the world makes life go poorly." But I never got around to talking about the bad life in detail. philpapers.org/rec/VONWAH

In this paper, I sketch out a novel theory of well-being according to which well-being is constituted by harmony between mind and world. The notion of harmony I develop has three ...

The epistemology of fascism is not cult-like, rigid dogmatism. It's "lol-nothing-matters, they're all a bunch of liars" cynicism. That is the mindset that will pliantly accept whatever authoritarian excesses Trump engages in, and both Trump and Elon are 100% aware of that.

Right, I'm aware of that function. But that doesn't help me in the (hypothetical) situation where I'm open to work almost everywhere but not in one or two specific places.

#philsky #philjobs When searching the Philjobs.org database, is there a way to filter out jobs in specific countries? Would be useful if, hypothetically, I didn't want to work in country X but there are lots of jobs posted in country X cluttering up my search results...

Yeah, you can't just send people back to the states like that these days. If you really can't let her into the country, you have to make sure to send her home.

There's no way I'm going to the US right now. Especially not for an academic conference.

I would definitely not go right now.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.  I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Now I'm imagining a world in which all of Musk's horrible actions over the past years are part of a longterm plan to make conservatives buy EVs.

Pay attention to what JD Vance and Musk are saying to Europe. They are upset that Europe is not giving them full "free speech" rights in digital information. Translation: MAGA won in a swamp of disinformation, much of it on SM platforms like X. They want RW govts in Europe, using the same model.

To me the moral of The Boy Who Cried Wolf is that the downside risk of ignoring warnings can be very bad even if the messenger is very annoying and unreliable

30% think Brexit was good. 24% think Farage would be a good prime minister. Doesn't strike me as all that contradictory.

Every liberal centrist.jpg

Republican Party: We spent millions of dollars spreading misinformation and managed to change the public perception of trans people from positive to negative, which got us votes

Democrat Party: We spent zero dollars and did nothing on this issue, we then lost

Cis person: As a very smart political analyst I suggest the Democrats give up on trans issues. That will help them win votes!

Here's an interview with Nick Hillman, Director of the Higher Education Policy Institute in London explaining recent trends in UK HE to a mostly Canadian audience. The question you ask is put to him, and he essentially goes: "hard to imagine, but there's no way to tell" youtu.be/tVo_Uiyx2VU
