my paper "Canonic Counterpoint as a Philosophical Practice: Mind, Meaning, and Metaphysics in Renaissance and Baroque Musical Composition", is now published in Philosophical Psychology! this particular paper means a lot to me for a couple of reasons ... (1/4) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

our 5-year-old twins turn into very different horror film villains when they catch a cold. Twin 2 goes pale and lies in bed in a pitch-dark room occasionally calling out in a rasping guttural voice. Twin 1 becomes an amorphous slime monster secreting mucus everywhere.

does this count?

I've uploaded an album of some of my more "classical" pieces, including the lute fugue I wrote for Helen De Cruz, my quartet on the notes A-C-A-B, the theme music I wrote for the @storyphi.bsky.social podcast, and other neo-baroque harpsichord beep-boops hanehtutmaung.bandcamp.com/album/musica...

took my 13yo son out to lunch today, just the two of us because his mum and sisters went to see a show, and it was so nice just talking with him about his social life, random stuff, etc. so proud of the compassionate young man he's becoming

I also made a psy-techno track that samples David Chalmers #PhilosophySky hanehtutmaung.bandcamp.com/track/phenom...

I've finally set up a Bandcamp account for my electronic music. here's a breakbeat hardcore track that samples Imre Lakatos saying "hard core". #PhilosophySky hanehtutmaung.bandcamp.com/track/theore...

Composing the “impossible” canon turns the artwork into an argument with audible premises. Counterpoint does philosophy here because the constraint can answer the claim, measure by measure.

back home after 2 days away at a teaching gig and found that my 5yo daughters had made me this 🥹

philosophy of medicine solved

beautiful that weisberg has returned to the blogosphere to resuscitate the blogospheriest debate

my first evening out without the family in over 4 months and this is how I chose to spend it. something about me that might not be apparent from my online presence is that I am painfully introverted

bliss

I'm back in Oxford to teach on the Philosophy, Psychiatry, and Mental Health module for the MSt in Practical Ethics. as always, it looks like an exciting schedule! here's the timetable for tomorrow:

Descartes, Meditation 2

Philosophers have underperformed? Sorry we don’t have an easy discipline like science where you can answer questions by just going out and looking.

I can't help but think that Prometheus from Hades 2 looks a bit like Galen Strawson

the dance of death from The Seventh Seal

philosophers:

lately I've been classifying philosophical works into the categories of angry philosophy and chill philosophy

SCIENTISTS: publish an entirely reasonable paper on the embryological origins of different segments of the brain which won't come as a surprise to most biologists since the 90s who know about neural tube development SCIENCE PRESS OFFICE:

Ok, this "there are two separate brains" thing appears to be making the rounds, and I want to be absolutely clear: this is a press office overhyping some perfectly reasonable science that won't come as a surprise to most developmental biologists.

who is this aella person everyone is suddenly posting about?

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

I'm now reminded of Tim Thornton's maxims for eating pizza from Essential Philosophy of Psychiatry (2007, p. 68)

we need a #PhilSky wiki so that people joining the starter packs can read up on the lore before posting

makes it harder to carve the pizza at the joints (the pineapple slices overlap the cuts)

one of the worst arguments I've heard against putting pineapple on pizza is "it's not natural". what does that even ... ? never mind

Made a new thing. Words from Wittgenstein, read by me.
