Such sad news. He was a brilliant philosopher who had a profound influence on cognitive science. And he was hugely supportive to young scholars—including me, long ago. A great loss. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…

@chris_starmans You are an inspiration for everyone. Parents are often worried when their children drop out of school. Timing and readiness is everything.

@chris_starmans I also dropped out of HS 20-some years ago and also got tenure this year. This is the first time I've published about dropping out of HS. Fun.
@chris_starmans Huge congratulations!!!
@chris_starmans Congratulations, an amazing journey full circle!
@tylercowen @paulbloomatyale How much do we care that others empathize with us? How much does it make sense to care about this?

This idea that I don't understand Cage's piece is willfully uncomprehending, well, nonsense. I know he wanted us to listen to surrounding sound. I made an exception for making Jewish people listen to calls for Israel to be destroyed.
@chris_starmans Congratulations! I also dropped out of high school 28 years ago. I didn’t do any of that other stuff, though.
@jayvanbavel The potato festival was the most exciting weekend of the year. My greatest ambition was to one day be “queen of the furrows” so I could ride in a convertible in the parade, wearing a sash and tiara.
@chris_starmans I like searching up small towns and seeing that they are known for: Alliston is "celebrated by the annual Alliston Potato Festival" My home town is known for operating "two sour gas processing plants" (Fox Creek, AB, population 1,792)
