An awesome conference online organized by the moral psychology research group! With the first Stich Award to honor my mentor Steve Stich. Paul bloom is the awardee.

Moreover, lie and falsity attributions correlated strongly in our between-subjects design. In a follow-up experiment (in only three countries), we found this strong correlation also with a within-subject design design. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

In one condition, we asked whether the speaker lied, in another whether what s/he said was true or false. Although DIs can be considered borderline cases (true on the explicit level, false on the implicit level), we found a high degree of similarity between the ten countries.

In our main experiment, we presented participants from ten countries (Chile, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, UK, US) with ten cases of deceptive implicatures (DIs). DIs are literally true but can nevertheless trick the hearer into a false belief.

Signed book page by Daniel Dennett. Title of the book: breaking the spell.

Randomly discovered that I have a signed book by Daniel Dennett 🤯 (the book was left, among others, in the office of a former colleague)

We are very grateful to the “Fachinformationsdienst Philosophie” who provides the hosting environment and helps to get the whole thing starting. We hope this and similar initiatives will become popular soon.

2. Experimental philosophers often have to compromise: Publishing in empirical journal often means to cut the philosophical aspects, while publishing in philosophy often comes with cuts regarding the empirical aspects

Two points of our motivation:
1. Reclaiming the means of production 😉 (scientists doing the work, whereas publishers making the money by charging the people whose taxes are used to pay the scientists does not seem right)
