  1. What if humans aren't the most intelligent form of life on this planet?
    // Jonathon Keats – Experimental Philosopher, Artist & Writer, Smithsonian Institution

    Jonathon Keats takes philosophical ideas and puts them into the world – as an experimental philosopher, artist and writer. He has screened travel documentaries for houseplants, appointed slime molds as visiting scholars, and built a clock that ticks to the growth of thousand-year-old trees.

    // At #Waterkant26, Jonathon brings three projects: a panel on curiosity – how do you ask a truly good question? A workshop inviting participants to imagine beings that go beyond the human. And his latest project: a tidal clock connecting Kiel and San Francisco through the language of the ocean.

  4. Another study finds honesty is more than just truthfulness.

    Makes sense: you can mislead or even conceal with only true information (e.g., if you do not include *all* the true information).

    The final study of this paper confirms: the “communicative elements of honesty [include not just] truthful speech [but] not concealing or misrepresenting”.

  5. The "One, but not the same" results that we detected in English speakers (doi.org/10.1007/s11098-021-017) replicated 6 times in Lithuanian speakers (doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.20).

    When people read about morally altered people being "different, they [thought] the person [wa]s qualitatively transformed, but numerically intact."
