  1. I'll consider AI possessing something akin to consciousness right after it successfully plays "whack-a-mole" with techbro TESCREAL libertarian billionaires.

  2. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, reflects on Zaccheus and notes that Christ calls him a “child of Abraham” after his resolve to give generously and restore what he wronged. The label follows the fruit. Cyprian isn’t teaching merit, but recognition: mercy made visible. The question he leaves us with is practical—what are we laborious about, and who would say it shows?

  3. The two most recent episodes of #BioUnethical with David Thorstad, Emily Largent, and @GovindPersad were very (very!) good.

    Hosts Leah Pierson and Sophie Gibert may be doing reflective discussion better than anyone — outstanding stage setting, questioning, improvising, etc.

  8. What is the relationship between #Sociology and #AppliedEthics?

    I open up this question in the 'Concise Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics in the Social Sciences', and pretty much my own conception of sociology.

    The difficulty of drawing a distinction between ‘normative’ and ‘scientific’ sociology is highlighted in this chapter.

    I guess this is close to #DigitalEthics but really it is just #AppliedEthics of something we tend to do digitally. It is also #DataPrivacy

  10. Happy World Philosophy Day!

    An Inconsistent Triad?

    1. If someone promises to do something, they incur an obligation to do it.
    2. It’s impermissible to take on an obligation to do something impermissible.
    3. There are permissible acts which would be impermissible unless you promised to do them first.
