This is true of many philosophers. Once you read the source materials, you realize the depth of the material.

It’s a point, I suppose, about being clear about what we mean. In psychology, we need to define terms in terms of measures — and we’ve traditionally measured human creativity that way. Not without critique, but true! https://en.w

That’s pretty rude. And wrong.

Based on clear, operational definitions, AI is definitely more creative than humans. E.g., can easily produce higher scores on a Torrance test of divergent thinking. Humans may still be more innovative (defined as creativity adopted into la

Thank you for saying this clearly. I love universities. They are so far from supporting apprenticeships. Even phds — they don’t do enough work for the senior professors to count as apprenticeships. Maybe postdocs. But the system is not grea

“ If things are combined, then we can't use an experiment design that assumes independence between cohorts (e.g., A/B testing) because the bandits break independence.” Can you explain, please?

Oh dear, you should learn more about philosophy. Plato was deeply esoteric — as were the Pythagoreans for that matter. The history of philosophy is rather enchanted, as it were. See Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Ficino, Agrippa, Newton…

The rice attract bugs. The fish eat the bugs. The fish excrement fertilizes the rice. Fish-rice farming is an excellent example of Harmony in design.

It’s unclear. On one hand, there is little evidence of being able to strengthen mental faculties (reasoning, working memory, etc) through practice — only the development of specific skills that can transfer. Yet, the emotional capacity to d

So it’s pretty clear we need to adopt solar radiation management r&d asap. Because that is the only feasible way we will stabilize the heat balance in the next few decades.

Thank god the Netherlands is only #5. It’s high, but not too high. That said, the Finns probably got surveyed right after exiting the sauna. Is that fair?

This is really beautiful content. I’m assuming it comes from the fact that there are Google teams tasked with digitizing old manuscripts? I work with a library ( Biblioteca Philosophica Hermetica ) in Amsterdam that has thousands of manuscr

This is very much in line with the research-alternative to DSM— the so-called RDoC — which takes a clustering vs category approach: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-funded-by-nimh/rd...

As a scholar, I use libraries to find and access materials. I think that is the traditional function? If I want to access a book (or frankly anything else), chances are I can do so in minutes on the Internet archive — I can’t say the same f

Exercise significant skepticism with neuroscience. People are credulous — and many studies are honestly shams. Like that “MIT study shows that ChatGPT reduces brain activity.” Why is this pilot study in the Smithsonian?

True. But if you drink more than that, you should be using bigger cups.
