Happy to share that my paper 'A reappraisal of the function of episodic memory' has been published in EJPS. In it, I reassess different types of evidence regarding the evolution of episodic memory in order to defend a mnemonic view of its function. It's open access! doi.org/10.1007/s131...

Several people seemed interested in my Philosophy of Scientific Communication course, so here is my schedule of readings. Thanks to everyone for their help; I hope to get to additional topics mentioned using these as the anchors:

Felipe Carvalho has a new paper in Philosophical Psychology! He argues for a revision to Elpidorou's account of boredom, using sexual boredom as a case to a genuine form of state boredom whose function extends beyond cognition. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

From cognitive malaise to erotic stagnation: reforming the functional view in light of sexual boredom

This commentary proposes a minor revision of the functional account of boredom developed by Andreas Elpidorou in The Anatomy of Boredom. While I endorse the core insight that boredom is an aversive...

Now forthcoming in Philosophical Studies. Becko, Nikola, and I began working on this in 2023. One of those ones that starts out aiming to be an Analysis paper but ends up much longer. We're grateful to many people for discussions of this over the last few years! philpapers.org/rec/ANDADF-3

A wonderful article from Kathy Puddifoot, arguing that we should ameliorate the concept of remembering to support justice and fairness. Definitely one of my favorite papers in the philosophy of memory so far! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

How does Artificial Intelligence transform the culture of grief? Today, Nathália de Ávila (University of Cologne) explores how griefbots impact the grieving process, and if, simulating the presence of lost loved one, prevents loss from taking place. #philsky imperfectcognitions....

I have written on how artificial intelligence might change grief culture and Prolonged Grief Disorder. A shorter version of this post will be published in Imperfect Cognitions tomorrow, the longer one below also talks about ghosts in the history of technology 👀👻 open.substack.com/pub/nathalia...

Não é fascismo, é só um movimento com soluções simplistas para problemas complexos, que tem a morte no slogan, com iconografia composta pela sobreposição caótica de símbolos republicanos, monarquistas e até atavismos indo-arianos e possui um líder cuja força espiritual é ter mentalmente 14 anos.
