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.

What is the meaning of life? 🧪 Some will say "There is none!" But the question has niggled people at least since the The Epic of Gilgamesh, written more than 4000 years ago. It seems having a positive impact on others is key to feeling your life has meaning. www.newscientist.com/article/2513...

How to live a meaningful life, according to science

The meaning of life has puzzled philosophers for millennia, but new research suggests it could be as simple as lending a helping hand

Martin Peterson's creative response to being banned from teaching Plato (shared with his permission).

Standard error: Sandwich…? Well, you always learn, I guess.

Infuriating.

Justin Weinberg@dailynous.com · 7mo ago

Texas A&M actually tells a philosophy professor he may not teach Plato.

In this new paper, we look at some different dimensions on which beliefs vary: - Is the belief deeply important to your identity? - Would you change your mind if you got evidence against it? - Is it best described in terms of credences (“pretty sure”), or is it more yes/no? 1/

Cognition@cognitionjournal.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Maybe there are two distinct kinds of belief: they either represent facts (It's rainy) or express identity (My son is the best). We find instead that many beliefs simultaneously represent facts and express identity (but few beliefs do neither).

Autistic individuals are more prosocial towards strangers and people they barely know

Autistic individuals are more prosocial towards strangers and people they barely know

While most people become less generous towards strangers, autistic adults maintain high levels of prosocial behavior regardless of social distance. New research confirms this generosity is intentional, not a byproduct of repetitive responding.

This is a super important paper, but honestly, I think the opposite. Integrity and authenticity of online-based panels have been in question prior to this risk agents. IMO this forces all providers to up their verification and transparency of their participants.e.g. www.prolific.com/resources/pr...

new paper by Sean Westwood: With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Instant promo : on a fait un livre sur les pandémies avec @ferrydanini.bsky.social @floriancova.bsky.social et @cedricp.bsky.social et il sort le 24 septembre 🔥 Il est court, accessible, et on espère qu'il contribuera à enrichir les débats en cas de future pandémie ! N'hésitez pas à partager ! ❤️

Does this book offer groundbreaking research? No. A life-changing self-help plan? No. A workable taxonomy of spiritual experience? Still no. The most comprehensive review of the state of the science so far? Quite possibly... If interested, pre-order paperback at reduced price!

Today’s popular fictions can be extremely far from reality: The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, The Legend of Zelda, Avengers: Endgame. But has this always been the case?

🧠 Why trust some experts but ignore others? Worsnip et al. show how bias, ego & ideology shape our choices. TL;DR: Trust experts more when topics are complex. 🤔🔍 👉 doi.org/10.1080/0951... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
