This is the second in a deeper look at 10 of my philosophical positions; this one is on Mediated Encounter Realism within the category of metaphysics for ontology. A full article is available on my Substack, with supporting information on a recent post on Philosophics Blog.

Below is a ~5-minute short podcast.

We’ve never lived on granite foundations. What we call “objectivity” in social and moral life is scaffolding: provisional, rhetorical, maintained through care, reciprocity, and revolt.

In my new essay, I map an operating model for reasoning without granite illusions — and argue for an ethic of repair.

Pills often feature in thought experiments to eliminate the difficulty of one of the response options. Example: It's hard to [X] in reality, but suppose you could [X] by taking a pill. Would you take the pill?

I got curious about whether people find it so easy to take pills. Apparently not.

In this meta-analysis, #medication non-adeherence was more than 40%: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-044987

More successful predictions of my #BoundedReflectivism & #EpistemicIdentity article from 2022?

From about 2017 or 2018, I reviewed evidence suggesting that reflective thinking often helps, but may even hinder our judgment depending on factors like whether we are reasoning based on shared identities and epistemic standards (https://doi.org/10.1111/meta.12534).

Years later Robb Willer et al. solicited ideas for debiasing political judgments. After years of testing 25 different interventions, their results are published in #Science: https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adh4764

They found that biased evaluations of politicized facts were impacted by both
- REFLECTION (on potential misperceptions of undemocratic actions) and
- shared IDENTITY cues (which could help *or* hinder!)

New book: Experimental Philosophy for Beginners

The book includes chapters on various experimental designs and analyses of various kinds of data (from numeric scores to text analysis): https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58049-9

Seems like a great foundation for a course on the topic or for self-learners to get their feet wet.

Are there social class differences in moral decision-making?

When dissociating anti-social from deontological and utilitarian responses to moral dilemmas, social class predicted differences in the latter two response patterns among thousands of German speakers — the class differences in utilitarian thinking were partially mediated by reflection and empathic concern.

I find that this assumption of the intelligibility of nature, especially to a specific species of ape, is also very common, or even more common, in philosophy, where intuitions are often seen as a sort of evidence. Same for the tendency to simplify issues so as to fit specific standards of how a philosophy talk/paper must look like.
