So cool seeing Kane take his little project to this level. It’s wild seeing this internet horror phenomenon grow into something so public and widely recognized. I really hope he gets to fully bring his dreadly liminal nightmare to life. I’m so hyped for it.
👋 The BIAP workshop “Lies, Fiction, and Manipulation in Propaganda” took place last week!
Thanks to all the participants for their insightful talks, to the organizers for their incredible work behind the scenes, and to everyone who attended and contributed to such engaging discussions.

The second response retains psychophysical essence-mediation but invokes a distinction between deep and superficial essence to argue that, contrary to introspective apparences, phenomenal properties do not have purely phenomenal essences.
We argue that g-physicalists can offer two responses. The first denies that the psychophysical grounding relation is essence-mediated and instead appeals to psychophysical grounding laws. We show that, despite its apparent proximity to dualism, this view is more defensible than critics assume.
We take issue with a recent argument against grounding physicalism according to which the widely held view that grounding relations are essence-mediated is incompatible with the claim that the essence of phenomenal properties is revealed to us in introspection as being purely phenomenal.

The best week of the year and official celebration of my viva begins today
Raven, M. (2004). What physicalism could be
Advances a grounding-based formulation of physicalism that exploits a distinction between circumstantial and acricumstantial facts, and examines how this approach might address the problem of whether grounding facts are physical or non-physical
Honestly, I wondered about this, but since it’s a review for which I already asked an extension and I’m now quite free, I’ve already drafted a response based on the content. Besides, some claims made were interesting. But I will obviously let the editors know of my suspicion
The presence of nonexistent references in a paper I’m reviewing makes me suspect that AI may have been used
University of Barcelona, you better pay me soon. I need to get my hands on that Silent Hill F

I forgot to show here the incredible tshirt my friends designed me as a gift for my successful viva
Szanto, T. (2018). In hate we trust: the collectivization and habitualization of hatred
Argues that hatred is an enduring affective–intentional attitude with an indeterminate focus that collectivizes its target, and that haters derive extreme affective power from commitment to the attitude itself
