  1. Today we’ll be recording tutorial videos with the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, in which we’ll try and explain how our music works. Exciting!

  2. Door met veiligheid. Levi: "Wat je niet wil is dat je zegt dat sociale veiligheid een begrip is dat ten onrechte groot is geworden." Wat, OK? Betreurt boosheid en verdriet. @mariejosevantol mensen melden zich echt niet zonder beraad, dat is een grote stap, dat mag je niet afdoen als misbruik van de term veiligheid.
    Kwestie De Zeeuw: Hester Bijl: te laat gereageerd, dank aan melders. #NWO #WetenschapWerkt #AkademieNL

  3. Wie, behalve @mariejosevantol die op het programma staat, is er morgen bij #NWO #WetenschapWerkt? Heb toch maar even een gaatje in de agenda gemaakt... #AkademieNL

  4. This was fun! Recording some film music by Daan Hofman for the international release of ‘Vaders & Zonen’

  6. Studio day with the Amsterdam Klezmer Band for a collab track with the French band La Caravane Passe. Taking it easy so far… #music #musicrecording #studiotime

  7. Over betalen voor #klimaatschade en dat dat te veel geld zou kosten: de schade van de moesson in Pakistan wordt geschat op 40 miljard. Het bedrag dat alleen al het kleine landje Nederland reserveert om de eigen energieprijzen binnen de perken te houden is 57.5% van dat bedrag. Dat geld gaat echter niet naar Pakistan, naar duurzame energie of naar batterij-onderzoek, maar regelrecht naar de winst van #Shell en consorten.
    Het is echt mogelijk om te betalen voor de gevolgen van klimaatverandering.

  8. #nickCave in #TheRedHandFiles today, on "good faith conversations":

    "...the shriller, more strident and more certain your interlocutor, the less they tend to know on the subject. I say this with a fair amount of discomfort because there are times when I have been that self-righteous person. Who hasn’t? Who hasn’t felt that near erotic charge when the wind is in the sails of a subject we know little about? As we grow into ourselves, hopefully we learn the folly of that."

    Amen.

  9. Just released: Piso de Estrellas, a new collab track by Los Kamer (from Mexico) with Amsterdam Klezmer Band and Luca Ferraris. I played a bunch of trumpets on this one. The production was done by my colleague Joop van der Linden. youtu.be/t78m1H_6-f8

  10. Just finished Lavinia (2008), Ursula Le Guin's last novel. She tells the story of Lavinia, a character from Vergil's Aeneid who is crucial to the plot (she's the woman that Aeneas and Turnus end up fighting over) but about whom we learn almost nothing. Until now. A great and wise book, a fitting final novel for a great and wise author.

    It's not absolutely necessary, but you'll probably enjoy the book more after reading the Aeneid. #Vergil #LeGuin #Fiction

  11. I'm a big fan of Thomas #Pynchon, but his new book, Shadow Ticket, didn't do it for me. On the small scale he's still brilliant: snappy writing, intelligent observations, lovely details. But one feels one has seen it all before, and it doesn't cohere into a bigger whole. I totally agree with the review in the New Yorker:

  12. New philosophy video, this time on the recent paper "An Empirical Argument for Presentism" by David Builes and Michele Odisseas Impagnatiello.

  13. A question for epistemologists! When Bayesians talk about degrees of belief, do they have any resources to explain why a 0.5 degree of belief ('no idea whether it's true or false') is a worse epistemic position to be in than a 0.99 or 0.01 degree of belief ('very confident about my judgement')? My sense is that the answer is 'no', and that Bayesian epistemology turns inquiry into mechanical rule-following rather than a goal-directed rational process. #Bayesianism #Philosophy #Epistemology

  14. In his book Aboutness, Stephen Yablo gives a definition of 'being true about'. A sentence can be false, but sill be true about part of its subject matter, and Yablo tries to capture this using a possible worlds analysis.

    I wrote a small post about why I think his construction fails: lilith.cc/~victor/dagboek/inde

  15. Just went to a VNV Nation concert in Utrecht. Sublime! Sick electronic music, harsh realities, and yet in the end real and unironic positivity.

    Ronan Harris totally gets the audience there too. "Let there be... let there always be... neverending light" chanted by hundreds.

    My wife and I took the 9yo, who loves the song Prophet. His first real concert! ❤️

    And I danced like a maniac. Got a special thumbs up from the keyboard player at the end. 😂

  16. My newest philosophy video is fairly political and potentially interesting to a broader audience: Does Might Make Right?

    I got inspired by reading a horrible interview with a so-called 'neo-realist' who was praising the foreign policy of the second Trump administration to review and dismantle this phrase.

  17. I've read the 1941 book Cours d'Assises by George #Simenon (translated in Dutch as De zaak Louis Bert). Simenon is famous for his detective novels starring inspector #Maigret, so it was very interesting to me that this psychological novel was a sort of anti-detective, anti-policier. The protagonist is a small-time crook who ends up in a monstrous judicial machinery that cares only about itself, its process, its judgements, and not at all about the people it judges.

  18. In the past eleven months, I got 30 new books, of which I've by now read 13. I wonder whether that's a justifiable reading rate...

    (Posting this now rather than next week, because I'll be receiving a box set of 15 of George Simenon's psychological novels...)

  19. "Het lijkt wel een creatie
    van Abercrombie & Fitch
    deze prachtige onesie
    van Lilo en Stitch."
