Some researchers, including some I very much respect, think that we need to stop pussyfooting around and start being more brutal in our way of talking about bad work in our field
I disagree. When you are refuting someoneโs work, I think itโs important not to be a dick about it
Looking forward to going to Granada to present two talks (one in Philosophy, one in Psychology) about our groups's work on trust in moral machines ๐ค

Every spring, my roses remind me about something important in academia that is easy to forget: the power of perseverance, patience, and the confidence that hard work will pay off in the end.
I think this is in some ways a nice metaphor for research in academia. Sometimes it can feel like there is no progress with paper rejections, dead-ends, problems in research infrastructure. But even when it feels like nothing is happening, things are happening in the background.

Behavioral research on utilitarianism has largely equated it with sacrifice, e.g. trolley problems. But that's only one aspect. New paper in @TrendsCognSci by @JimACEverett and Guy Kahane argues for new paradigms, e.g. radical impartiality: sciencedirect.com/science/arโฆ

Lucio Corsi skipped every Eurovision pre-party, was ranked low by eurofans, sat outside the Top 10 in the odds, and people were even saying the Italian DJ representing San Marino would do better than himโฆ and yet, he showed up in Basel, did his thing, and finished 5th. ICONIC.

Less than two years ago, Yuval Raphael survived a massacre at a music festival.
She hid under dead bodies as Hamas death squads hunted Israelis to kill.
Tonight, she took Europeโs biggest stage โ and sang a beautiful anthem of resilience and survival! #Eurovision2025๐ฎ๐ฑ

There are whole subfields in which students are trained to substitute quotes by Fanon/Butler/Lorde/Foucault/etc for arguments. Like: "I want to defend P, so here's a quote from a fashionable theorist"
How did the supposedly critical humanities become so deferential to authority?

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments.
The students complained they were too hard and that โhe was interfering with their โlearning styles.โโ
