‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Perhaps this will help, Trish. I built this 13 years ago for the Orange County Register.

Good news, the audio version of Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction is out now on Audible, Spotify, etc.! I also have three codes for free Spotify copies, so we can do a competition. Just share and like this and I'll pick three people at random to get the codes this weekend.

Shorter: there are no jobs and pay and conditions are getting worse

Why young academics are leaving academia

As more PhD holders compete for limited university jobs, many are reconsidering the appeal of industry careers

one of the reasons i am always on about elite persuasion is that i have seen elite persuasion operate in real time. as toby documents here, the radical anti-trans push in the uk didn't come from some "bottom-up backlash," but was orchestrated and organized primarily at the most elite levels

The End of Trans Rights in the UK Is the Start of Democratic Collapse

It's never just one minority.

Hi! My first paper is out in Philosophical Psychology (@journalphp.bsky.social), co-authored with Laura Nuño de la Rosa 😁 "The Functional Ambivalence of Mental Symptoms: Organizational and Temporal Dimensions of Dysfunction in Enactive Psychiatry" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Very good to see Enactive Psychiatry developed further! This I will read! Addiction and so-called Dual Diagnosis comes to mind as an example, where functional ambivalence is pretty front and center.
