Philosopher @_NatHansen_ has created a website that uses AI to take people through a Socratic dialogue about a philosophical thought experiment I just gave it a try. In my opinion, it really does help users think through these questions ux-phi.com/experiments

What happens with claims about "manifesting" and "staying positive" in contexts of oppression? TLDR: self-help discourse (given its core principles) blames victims and causes epistemic and affective injustice. w/ Sally Latham & @Agrowoh summarized in this blog post ⬇️

People's philosophical intuitions often clash. Is this due to conflicts between underlying beliefs? Three studies validate a new belief inventory and show laypeople collectively and individually hold conflicting beliefs about vision: link.springer.com/article/10…

Direct or indirect realism? Assessing conflicting folk conceptions of vision

Synthese - Longstanding philosophical debates about the nature of perception revolve around a clash between Direct Realist and Indirect Realist conceptions of vision. These deny and affirm,...

Philosophy was mostly "armchair" in the mid-20th century—but it's not anymore! Philosophers have increasingly cited empirical sources and discussed empirical data and evidence. In fact, as of the 2020s, non-empirical philosophy has become the minority.

Why does everyday psychotherapy language feel both empowering and troubling? TLDR: Because two practices are at play: mental health-speak, which empowers, and therapy-speak, which distorts. A summary of our paper (w/ @Agrowoh ) in the great Imperfect Cognitions blog. 🙌
