Thank You Joshua @jtbirchall ! Very happy to be part of this project!

I am very excited to share with you the news that our book ‘The Evolution of Techniques: Rigidity and Flexibility in Use, Transmission, and Innovation’ is coming out in exactly 2 months. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262547802/… 1/5
How about David Deutsch supporting The Paris School of cultural evolution? 😉
Cultural information, unlike genetic information, cannot be just mechanically transferred. In our cells, in every cell, there is all the genetic information that we have. And to copy that into the offspring is an automatic process. It doesn't require any kind of information…
Please join us at Professor @jtbirchall's talk hosted by @unmlaii tomorrow, Wednesday November 13, 3 PM in the LAII Conference Room: "Language Reclamation Through Dictionary-Building Along the Brazil-Bolivia Border." See you there!

The prevalence of irrational beliefs is better explained by the practical benefits of holding & spreading such beliefs (e.g., signaling ingroup loyalty), rather than alternatives (cognitive deficiencies, feeling good about oneself) @michael_barlev
Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet. - Niels Bohr
Humans evolved to acquire context-specific social norms, for well-digging, meat sharing, etc. Societies vary in their norms, so kids don't learn generalized dispositions, which is what "social preferences" usually capture. See amazon.com/Secret-Our-Suc…

Yes, Dan Sperber explained this in argumentative theory of reasoning (around 2010) 😉
Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
A compelling argument for including the human perspective within science, and for how human experience makes science possible. "The Blind Spot" by @AdamFrank4, @evantthompson, and @MGleiser is available now 👉🏻 bit.ly/46QZueO
There is no institutional support for cognitive anthropology (at least in Poland). This website served as my study library for many years. It is now archived and indexed, and I highly recommend it to students.
The archives of the International Cognition and Culture Institute (active 2008-2021) are now freely online with past blogs, webinars, and discussions from anthropologists, biologists, cognitive scientists, historians, linguists, and philosophers. cognitionandculture.net/index.html
The "immigrants eat pets" is a perfect example of cognitively attractive misinformation I talk in this paper: negative, disgust-eliciting, out-group denigrating, etc. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Totally agree!
yes! But I think *every* statement about what something is, is fundamentally a statement about the user of the term. I think all of these terms refer to interaction protocols. By saying "it's X" (alive, robot, intelligent, machine, etc. etc.) what an observer is saying is "I…

Are you interested in understanding how forest spirituality plays a role in forest management, governance, and related nature conservation strategies? A great opportunity to pursue a PhD in this field has just become available.
🚨PhD Candidate wanted🚨 Together with @BasVerschuuren we are looking for a researcher to work with us @FNPWUR on the new project on the 🌲🌳🌲Spirituality in (Central-) Eastern Europe. More information ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Daniel Dennett: consciousness is the brain's user interface for itself
Four years ago I realised that I have aphantasia. All my life I thought that I experience the world more or less like other people. We have no idea how different our experienced worlds can be.
Aphantasia and hyperphantasia: exploring imagery vividness extremes Review by Adam Zeman (@ZemanLab) Open Access: doi.org/10.1016/j.tics…
Excellent three-part essay: scientific and interpretative studies of culture are not in contrast. I agree 100%, I wonder whether it is mostly a practical problem: finding the sweet spot where a "thick enough" description is amenable of a satisfying naturalistic explanation.
New essay over at the other place: 'On nature, science & culture: Part I' This is the first of a three-part essay on the prospects of a natural science of culture. Parts II and III will go out later this week. (No link b/c twitter will hide it. But see the url in the image.)
