New links… Discussion welcome. A movie that seems to be based on Parfit’s teletransportation problems — “Mickey 17”, from Bong Joon-ho (the director of the critically acclaimed “Parasite”) will be out in January “We don’t find any significant downsides that can’t be resolved with relatively simple tweaks to current review practices” — Nathan Ballantyne and Jared Celniker (ASU) defend blind review “The representational arts… would seem to have little in common with children’s games of make-believe… But a closer look reveals striking similarities”” — Kendall Walton (Michigan) is interviewed by Richard Marshall at 3:16AM A “skeptical attitude toward the mere appearance of expertise is a great fruit of philosophy” — which is one reason the best way to teach students AI skills will include teaching them philosophy, says Adam Zweber (UNC Wilmington) And if you enjoy stumping AIs, here’s a chance to win money and a co-authorship credit doing so — it’s “Humanity’s Last Exam” “How does one come to learn what one does not know one does not know?” — Daniel DeNicola (Gettysburg) on ignorance, education, and cognitive comfort John Rawls on MSNBC — Daniel Chandler (LSE) talks about his Rawlsian book, “Free and Equal”, with Chris Hayes Mini-Heap posts usually appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thank you. Previous Edition
