In my experience, those who use the expression "all things considered" often overlook some key point.

🟢This Thursday the 27th, our METIS member @ignasigil.bsky.social will talk about “The Epistemic and Zetetic Irrationality of Incessant Checking in OCD” at the SEFA 2025 Postgraduate Congress.

Today, two of our METIS members and PhD students present at the PSA @philsci.bsky.social Around the World Conference

💠 Losner Briones (@losnerbriones.com): "From Causal Inference to Distributive Outcomes"

💠 Marco Portillo (@raciondeser.bsky.social): "Biology as Evidence for the A-Theory of Time"

Pues estoy de acuerdo con eso!

Tal vez mi error sea en llamar a especular a comprar un piso para hacer negocio con él/no usarlo como vivienda. No sé si técnicamente eso es especular o no. Pero lo que sí me dice la intuición es que está medio feo. Más que usar tu propio dinero para hacer dinero (ahí tengo mis dudas)!

Bueno, pero parece que la idea naif (que comparto) es que especular con un piso (aka un sitio donde vivir) es especular con algo así como 'un derecho fundamental de las personas blabla', mientras que especular con furgonetas u otros bienes no, no?

a) Compras y alquilas la misma vivienda (especulas con la vivienda).
b) Prestas dinero para que alguien pueda comprarse una vivienda.
El resultado de b) es un mundo mejor que el de a): alguien nuevo termina siendo propietario de una vivienda (asumiendo que no especulará con ella).
No?

September 📚 🏫
In August we took a little vacation 🌞🏖 from the department’s social media, but some members of METIS kept moving. A very brief thread with some of their activities 👇 🧵

I’m making my debut as an admin of @metisuned.bsky.social and would like to invite you to follow us! We’re a very active research group, with events and activities happening every week, many of which you can follow online. If you’re interested in philosophy, don’t miss out!
