This is such a cool thread (and study) on the Müller-Lyer illusion. We have often discussed in my epistemology class whether this illusion is "hard-wired" or "learned". Next semester I will be using your work, Dorsa Amir and Chaz Firestone – thanks for sharing!

Science communication, why? I constantly thought about this when developing my book proposal for Psychopathy Unmasked. I concluded that too many people had been wrongfully harmed by the psychopathy “diagnosis”, someone had to communicate this. open.spotify.com/episode/3Ic3pI…

Combining "smart glasses" with LLMs looks promising, I must admit.

Laughter never was, and still isn’t the appropriate response to cunning pundits.

Philosophy of Science arguably has many values to working or “real” scientists. It’s not a dead and hollow activity like Hawking and others so often claimed…

I learned a lot listening to this conversation 🙏

Whenever we post videos of our work in trash-filled rivers in Asia and Latin America, I sometimes see people make unkind or even racist comments about the people who live there. Things like calling them “pigs” or remarks about “brown people” that I won’t repeat here. When I read
