I’m delighted that a paper I co-authored with my brilliant colleague, Franz Berto, on some connections between logic and the psychology of reasoning, has been accepted for publication in the Review of Philosophy and Psychology.

We sketch some possible connections between System 1 and System 2 thinking and different accounts of the semantics of negation.

A preprint is now available here: https://consequently.org/writing/rwn/

Remaining aged parent wants to block the phone number of their GP's surgery.

OK.

They don't want to move to another practice as their current GP is within walking distance.

🙄

Life seems to be increasingly full of these odd conflicts of logic which makes me wonder if my aforementioned parent's opinions have been used for training LLMs.

Or, as I have not actually spoken to them for some time that they might just have been replaced by an AI bot.

Instead of being either at one opposite pole or the other, I believe all these things (in the post above) exist only by degree, as points along a scale.

Often the mistake isn’t noticing variations - it's turning differences of *degree* into differences of *kind*.

I’m going to do a little thread on each one (which I'll then link in the list above).

As usual, all thoughts on this very welcome indeed!

Something to Think About this Month

Each month I offer you something to think about to get the brain working. This month …

Life only ever happens by chance.

People can find it difficult to understand the negation of an implication "⇒".

Its possible it relates to the struggle of connecting informal to formal use.

"Informally" we'll often write "⇒" without being clear whether the relation is "⇒ and ⇐" = "⇔" i.e. an equivalence, or ""⇒ and ⇍" i.e. not an equivalence.

Then a level of confusion is understandable because the two situations have different negations.

I’ve found understanding the laws of logic is crucial—they ground rational thinking and help us separate valid arguments from mere opinions.

Objects, Models, Theories • 4

What are objects, models, theories, and how do they relate to one another?

Recurring questions about the relationship between objects, models, and theories take on a different aspect when viewed from the perspective of Peirce's pragmatic semiotic, in other words, when cast within a framework of triadic sign relations.

In contemplating the array of questions which come to mind I always find it helpful to ruminate on the diagram shown below — I might even call it a “mandala” for its wealth of symbolic features and its aid in organizing the pro‑&‑con‑fusion of mental impressions.

Autistic people are famously fond of logic, and data.

We’ve also repeatedly ‘failed’ in tests designed to evaluate our empathy.

Tests which I found more interesting as a ‘spot the assumption’ exercise than serious research – or at least, serious research into what the studies professed to be about.

(I wrote a thread on it, "Have you wondered where the claim that autistic people lack empathy came from?", link: https://mas.to/@KatyElphinstone/116070156336606549)

I read recently that in societies where empathy increases, justice decreases. It puzzled me at first, but it makes sense when you view it a certain way.

Philanthropy is all about compassion and empathy – giving. But that doesn't make it fair!

In fact, often it’s another way of making sure some are benefactors and can feel great about themselves, while others are poor and crushed and have to feel permanently grateful if they get anything at all.
