Congratulations @BokaiYao ! And congratulations on all the cool results!
My PhD student, Bokai Yao @BokaiYao, has just passed his dissertation defense, defending the thesis, "Set theory with urelements", in which he establishes and separates a surprisingly rich hierarchy of urelement set theories, and develops the theory of forcing over urelement set theories, and reflection principles in second-order set theories with urelements. Co-supervised with myself and Daniel Nolan. Committee members including also Patricia Blanchette and Timothy Bays.

Everything interesting is hyperintensional. Indeed, interestingness itself is a hyperintensional property, since the Incompleteness Theorems are VERY interesting, but 1=1 is not.

It has still stood in Egypt longer than in Istanbul/Constantinople.
The Obelisk of Theodosius in Istanbul. Erected during the dynasty of Pharaoh Thutmose III (1479-1425BC) as part of the great temple of Karnak. In 390AD, it was transported from Alexandria to Constantinople where it was installed in the Hippodrome. Picture from last year.

I'm looking forward to this upcoming workshop on Hyperintensional Metaphysics, on Zoom by Arché at St Andrews on June 17: st-andrews.ac.uk/arche/event… Timothy Williamson @TWilliamson55 will explain why he thinks the hyperintensional turn is (largely) a mistake, so that will be fun!

Since sea shanties are taking over social media, I thought I'd get ahead of the curve and get to the the sea-shanty-adjacent song phase. This is "Brisbane Ladies", also known as "Augathella Station", based on "Spanish Ladies" but about cattle droving: youtube.com/watch?v=DYCPIaKa…

A staircase is haunted by the ghost of a Scottish philosopher. He was killed by a giant rat.
