Apparently @Sally_Latham_ and I authored the top trending paper in #philosophy this week!

In it, we buck popular opinion & argue it's bad to think of your life as a narrative.

It's short and open access! Read it here: https://t.co/P2xvGkNUTP

2) A Bilingual English-Massachusett Logic Textbook

Really excited to be part of this project led by @JaneGatley and Christian Norefalk.

It's great to see a project investigating the role conceptual engineering methodology might play in a specific field - one that, as Jane has argued, may be particularly suited to it.

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

@JaneGatley Looks great!

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

@Sally_Latham_ Thanks for getting me on the list last time around. You made this tweet possible 🤣

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

Woohoo second time I've been on this list in last few months :D

@lastpositivist These days we call that "conceptual engineering".

@Sally_Latham_ Harsh but fair reviews are often written in response to good work. The key thing, really, is to (try to!) reflect constructively on what you can do to improve a piece of work.

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

@Sally_Latham_ Yes. Most papers are rejected, and most rejections are brutal. Let me know if you want to discuss.

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

@AnneliJefferson @KimptonNye This might also be of interest: https://t.co/gORN7C8aJ8

[Mark Pinder @MarkPinder20]

@AnneliJefferson @KimptonNye One reason is CE-ers seem to focus on Haslanger-style projects, which are presented as "Change semantic meanings for social justice!" (I also have a paper on that.)

I think critics are more concerned by your worry. Max Deutsch gets close to it in recent work.
