Last week, several members of our group also presented at the #SPSP meeting in Cambridge. @acfischer.bsky.social spoke about endometriosis and standards, Sergei Shevchenko about biological experiments and Jan Baedke about virtual herbaria. Thanks to all participants for great discussions!🥰 #PhilSci
I had such a great time at SPSP. Many thanks to the organizers at @hpscambridge.bsky.social for pulling off an exceptionally well-organized conference and making it seem effortless (which I know it was not!). Such a wonderful community. I came home feeling truly invigorated. #philsci

Oh my lord? How!? So many these days I will say jjst happened to fall in my lap, ye seek ye find they tell me, not showing the actual monographs and wish I could. See these are on shaky terms of indiscrete. I literally have a feeling that these are not subject to much but still a bit more than most
Okay I guess I will say it, I will just explain that I actually am interested in have found some things in my experiences in the sense of understanding the Occult, hidden sciences. It's really just parasympathetic system which is to be unmet with material science. No I cannot show you the method!
I have this gem, I feel like I have an inkling for returning this to PRS as a member and only joined because its MPH. So about his passing, see this dude, stole from MPH after his death? I don't know if I can say that veritablely. Checking tbh, but I heard some mention the situation. Why MPH though?
I finally got past day 7, but why do I want to say the same thing? That this is underwhelming. See in draconian current because I actually am understanding the premise. Facing the worse part of oneself, which is a honest and strong emphasis on personal responsibility. Wanting to go longer- should I?
youtube.com/@fraterzed-n... I'm back at my own studies and I will admit this is not much for the common person (Freemasonry [promason, can't Emphasize], Thelemite Astral Argentum, mainly the Brotherhood of Light lessons, we are bound to keep it from the safeguarding nonsense.

"A Conventional View" is now online at B&P. We describe how pragmatic conventions help retain the utility of scientific tools when they outrun their theoretical and conceptual justifications, by unpacking what it means to treat higher taxonomic ranks as 'mere conventions'. doi.org/10.1007/s105...
A conventional view - Biology & Philosophy
A widely held view in biology is that higher Linnaean categories or ranks (genera, families, etc.) ought to be regarded as ‘mere conventions’. That is typically understood to mean that their utility and application stem from (relatively) recent conventions that have been adopted for their usage in biological classification. There are no underlying theories or robust ontological concepts of these higher ranks, in contrast to taxonomic groupings like species or populations (disputed as those underlying concepts or theories may be). Absent these conventions, the application of higher ranks are in important ways arbitrary, reflecting their lack of theoretical and conceptual grounding. Indeed, some taxonomists have argued that this lack of grounding justifies adopting rank-free taxonomies. Michael Devitt (2023a) challenges this entrenched view, calling it an exaggerated skepticism. Instead, he takes the continued use of higher Linnaean ranks as evidence that they reflect “minimal category concepts,” which do genuine theoretical and explanatory work by marking out a relative level of taxonomic hierarchy. We disagree. Here, we unpack what it means to treat Linnaean categories as mere conventions, arguing they are better understood as informational proxies for phylogenetic hierarchies. Yet, Devitt is right to focus on this case, as it provides an exemplar of how scientists retain the utility of scientific practices that outlive their underlying initial theoretical and conceptual justification. We conclude by offering an alternative explanation for this in the context of a pragmatic account of science that treats Linnaean classification as a biological formalization.
