@kirstenlesage was right, we didn’t see any bears! 😮‍💨

@victorckumar Ah i think it’s also the moral standing of the “victim”. In veganism, it’s the animals and the environment, vs humans in transphobia. There’s the same tendency to not shun others when it comes to other animal and environmental welfare issues

[Fransisca Ting @fransiscating]

@victorckumar I think it’s the fact that the wider social norms still very much condone meat eating. I would think it’s the same with say a person living in a homophobic society would probably also be more “tolerant” of others and not shun the homophobic majority.

@lisachalik @PeretzLange I find emily oster’s the most helpful and data driven compared to others. But yeah definitely take it with a grain of salt.

New paper with @yuchen_rachel is now out in JEP:General! @APA_Journals In both the US and China, children younger than age 7 provide leaders with more freedown to deviate, yet older children understand "One who wears the crown, bears the crown." https://t.co/yIKqoN6dpC

We finally finished data collection for one of my favorite grad school projects that was in a purgatorial limbo for 2.5 years due to covid. Words cannot express how thankful i am for the people involved in this project 🥺🥺🥰🥰❤️❤️

@mgreinecke will be presenting at this exciting conference! Go see her amazing work

[Madeline G. Reinecke is on bsky @mgreinecke]

So excited to share a new @DeepMind paper (co-first-authored with @yiranmao) where we propose a method of evaluating human and AI moral cognition in a 'like-for-like' manner. Just by observing behavior, can we tell when an agent acts 'for the right reasons'? (1/7)

Do infants expect the world to be populated by objects and agents? @fransiscating argues that the architecture of innate knowledge is more complicated, showing that infants distinguish between agency, animacy, and self-propulsion. #spp2023
