I wrote a book! It's called WHY WE ASK WHY, and it's about the human drive to explain, combining psychology, philosophy, and stories. It will be released on October 6, but it's currently available for pre-order from Barnes & Noble at 25% off with code PREORDER25.

In the new paper, Pincock & I show that Kleinberg models preserve directionality & asymmetry in non-causal explanation via explanatory priority of property individuation. Also, an erotetically regimented pragmatics of explanatory relevance preserves asymmetry, even when directionality is violated.

Besides the plausible #UBI plea, a wonderful analogy resonates with my hearing Angine de Poitrine: it's like a deaf child getting a hearing device and hearing its parents voices for the 1st time. I still remember where I was when I 1st heard the Tuxedomoon, DAF, Floating Points, Daphni, PJ Harvey.

If you work on values in science, and have noticed that the literature is a bit too focused on values in science in Anglophone democracies – and that it therefore stays silent on issues that we should be talking about – please consider submitting an abstract to our workshop!

Thank you for the platform! I don't like the phrase 'money can't buy x' (for any x), it's just too vague and not true when taking literally. It was great to juxtapose the ideas abt wellbeing @markfabian.bsky.social and I have been developing with those of @lfitouchi.bsky.social and moral psychology.
