@TaimurMShah @ConjectureInst @maria__violaris @PaulRRobichaud I was teasing, but I meant this one. https://t.co/TfiNvkGm09

Back by popular demand, my 2019 interview with @DavidDeutschOxf about Brexit, the British political system and Karl Popper. (Thanks @Conjecturist for asking.)

@ConjectureInst @maria__violaris @PaulRRobichaud Oh that's a shame, I'll have a look for it, probably it hit the junk filter.

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@ConjectureInst @maria__violaris @PaulRRobichaud It's a shame your book of Deutsch interviews omits the best one!

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@DavidDeutschOxf Up to October 7, then? Seems odd to end on 9/11 as the moment "the world changed". It changed again in 2023! Appreciate that everything since is still "fog of war".

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@DavidDeutschOxf Thank you. The previous draft was extremely helpful to me in 2023, been waiting for this.

@HausdorffMedia Piers Morgan: "If we don't allow international journalists into Gaza, we can't know what's happening!"

Also Piers Morgan: "I believe Hamas."

@Conjecturist @lfg_uk @DavidDeutschOxf Appreciate it! I'll try to upload tonight or tomorrow and you can share. I've been meaning to do it for a while.

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@Conjecturist @lfg_uk @DavidDeutschOxf I'd rather you didn't post it like this, tbh. Happy to upload it myself.

@chenjiajiachen Thanks so much, Jia!

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@War_Arrow Okay, do Manchester.

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@cvaldary Great thread. Thanks for sharing.

@DanLeBretonPhD @sbkaufman @JonHaidt Tweets are too short! If "a fair distribution of resources" is the goal of your truth-seeking institution, that institution will be blind to any truths that might undermine that goal. "Morality binds and blinds" says @JonHaidt. That's bad for truth-seeking.

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@DanLeBretonPhD @sbkaufman @JonHaidt It's not intrinsically valuable. But the trouble is that different actors value truth for different reasons. I hear you talking about justice as "the distribution of resources". An institution with that goal won't ever find evidence that "distribution" is sometimes bad.

[Joe Boswell @joebosphilos]

@DanLeBretonPhD @sbkaufman @JonHaidt As for what the goal of institutional truth-seeking *should* be... well, how about truth itself?
