I say responsible people have a duty to pursue dragon research as soon as possible in order to save mankind. Only by safely breeding and domesticating dragons will we be able to avert what could otherwise result in the destruction of humanity! 3/3
There have never been dragons and there are currently no dragons. But genetic research, growing meat in a lab, and artificial wombs could make them a reality eventually. What if irresponsible, bad people will be first to achieve dragon breeding? 2/3
I know everyone is dunking on this, and rightly so, but I genuinely think “I have observed that automation tends to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few all-powerful capitalists, and this disproves Marx” is the funniest thing I have ever seen on Twitter
Our call to action is simple. If you are a computer scientist or developer concerned about this issue, we're opening the letter to the wider tech community to sign and tell our policymakers that enough is enough, the status quo has to change.

As some of you consider abandoning Twitter please keep my friend and podcasting co-host Manton's @microdotblog in mind. It's the antithesis of Twitter in many respects, by design. https://t.co/AkoyxS1f07
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most important German philosophers and social theorists of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. His work has been compared in scope with Max Weber’s, and in philosophical breadth to that of Kant and Hegel.

So, today this got published as well! Thanks to so many people involved! It started at first as an Uebel-festschrift, but it became more general, and in the background, for me, it is still that book.

1/📌What if we had the ability to stop #SARSCoV2—and all its variants—from infecting us?
We do. It's called an N95 mask. When worn properly it catches over 95% of airborne particles—mechanicaly & electrostatically.
It's excellent against #Omicron. A thread on how it works🧵
My hope is that this transfer operation from philosophy of science to mathematics sheds a new light on the current discussion in philosophy of set theory; and that it can help to bring philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of science closer together. #bridgebuilding 6/6
📰 Here's a public draft of a provocative paper which has been long in the making: "Reinterpreting the universe-multiverse debate in light of inter-model inconsistency in set theory". Get it while it's hot! 🔥https://t.co/IJquhNs9pV Feedback welcome! #philmath#philsci 1/
While there are important differences, like the lack of explosive inferences, I show how specific philosophical positions in the philosophy of set theory can be interpreted as reactions to a state of inconsistency similar to reactions studied in the phil of sci literature. 5/n
Patrick Fraser (U Toronto) and I finally have a first draft of our paper "Feyerabend on the quantum theory of measurement: A reassessment" ready for public consumption. Get a copy at https://t.co/6apibh0FnU Feedback very welcome! #PhilSci#QM#Feyerabend
