What a wonder to find that awe is still possible in 2026.
You'll have to wait for Interpretive Objects next spring to see in what sense the underlying view is Platonist! But it is not so thoroughgoingly Platonist that I can answer that question for you.
When Things Get Personal is available for pre-order!
I couldn't be more excited that this work is finally making its way to the public. If you've ever clashed with someone - whether it was a blow-up fight, a minor spat, hurt feelings, or just a missed connection - this book has something for you.
Is it ok to start watching baseball if I haven't seen the other 150 seasons? Or is it better to start from the beginning?
Replacing jobs is so 20th century. Once no one has an income anymore they'll need to replace *consumers* with AI.
[Welp] just returned my copyedits to the press. I have so much emotionally invested in this project that it gives me more nerves than anything that I have done in many years. So eager to see my baby go out into the world on its own.

I am having this problem with my copyedits, too! Lots of gratuitous deletion of similar words appearing twice in the same paragraph in the name of eliminating gratuitous repetition.
In fact this is the only correct way to start a paragraph
but there are SO MANY fonts
putting loud noises in a big font

What's your worst writing tic?
I'm on page two of my copyedits for When Things Get Personal, and my copyeditor is already complaining about my overuse of 'in fact'.
popular misconception: it is one who has completed a doctorate-by-posting
We just wrapped our conference on AI and Data Ethics with a focus on talks combining research with pedagogy. People are doing so many cool things! @add-hawk.bsky.social

The genre is “gym flex video”, Zack.
I’m almost certainly wrong about at least 40% of it, but people seem to find it really productive to think about. I do too.
This is really fun stuff to talk about, because it weaves together metaphysics, aesthetics, philosophy of language, the theory of agency and responsibility, personal identity, existentialism, and jurisprudence.
I’m on a tour this spring talking about my work on interpretive objects and how it applies to the philosophy of law. It kicks off tomorrow with pushback from all of the legal philosophy heavyweights at the Analytic Legal Philosophy Conference.
