Happy to announce a new volume in the Bloomsbury series “Advances in Experimental Philosophy”: Lying. It will mainly about (experimental work on) the concept of lying, but also about related concepts and non-conceptual issues. Hopefully out 2024. Table of contents below.
Philosophers! Some of you might be interested in this, especially if you're interested in how computation is implemented in the brain. Comments welcome!

My son is in the musical Cinderella and I’m not a fan of the song “Impossible,” with lyrics like “impossible things are happening every day.” If they’re happening every day they must be improbable, not impossible. Sounds like a child wrote that lyric…

For decades, social science has 'known' that women are more religious than men. However, if you track the religiosity of young adults - something really interesting happened. Women are more likely to claim no religious affiliation than men. It started around 2016.
I'm leaving hopefully one last message on the thread I posted 24 hours ago. Apologies - to do this quickly, I typed up on a word processor and extracted two images.
@JZBerman my guess is that "in between" is seen as the default/norm, and so it's not seen as especially praiseworthy (despite being desirable) re: humility, i wonder if stated vs. revealed preferences differ - e.g. we might *believe* underplaying is virtuous yet reward those who overplay
People are much more often praised for being humble than being in between. I wonder if that’s partly because we don't really have a word for this. Still, being humble seems to be considered much more a virtue than a sin, and I’m not convinced it should be.
Which is better: A) Being humble B) Being arrogant C) Being in between (neither underplaying or overplaying one’s importance/abilities)

@xphilosopher But how does this explain that different people give different results? You'd expect most people to give the same result, that is both
@RanaAgastya @xphilosopher In some cases, plurality of senses of identity can cause trouble, as we try to illustrate in this paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.cogn… However, in Theseus case, something else seems to happening - not several senses of identity but several plausible criteria of identity are present.
@xphilosopher My thesis is philosophical problems are best understood as trilemmas - so it is a claim about propositions. One explanation is that key concepts are incoherent, or have contradictory properties. I explore this a bit wrt free will. Kristin Mickelson holds that view about free will
@xphilosopher Is there any evidence to show that this intrapersonal conflict in intuitions stems from the multiplicity of meanings that “identity” has, much in the same way that there are conflicting intuitions about whether e.g. war is a game?
@xphilosopher I have a draft of a book I'm working on. Better I could send you the book proposal I sent out, which is much better at sketching the idea, maybe the first chapter too. I'd love to get some feedback. The book is just on free will but I make a general case in ch. 1.
@xphilosopher I have an arm-chair view that genuine philosophical problems are paradoxes. I can make a good case wrt skepticism about knowledge, free will, personal identity, & realism debates. Could this evidence support that claim or do you thing something else is going on?
