nuff said by name hehe surprise frat
Before we know it, "frat" will be the new "in" word. There's also a "Thank Moderator" button on his profile, I bet.
I knew Frat before he was cool.
Provided he doesn't forget about it, sure.
I'm okay with this.

Besides, who doesn't want to be a supreme overlord admin who rules over a… log? Must be a sacred log. He's destined to protect it from the fire pit or something.
…I see. "BM", "log"—it all makes sense now.

The Fib Factor: Are White Lies Irresponsible?
Is it wrong to shade the truth to spare someone's feelings?
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
Do these pants make me look fat?
We all tell white lies, but when we do, are we being irresponsible?
And when we tell white lies as parents—I'll leave work early for your soccer game—are we harming our kids?
"Don't feel bad," says psychologist Alan Hilfer. "We all tend to lie to our children on a regular basis." Santa Claus. The Tooth Fairy. Those kinds of little white lies, which stoke kids' imaginations and make for happy memories, are apparently pretty benign.
In fact, our ability to tell white lies actually starts when we are young children and our parents and other adults coax us to spare the feelings of others—Tell grandma how much you love the book she sent you.
According to Professor Victoria Talwar at McGill University, not only are junior's white lies OK, they're actually a positive developmental milestone that all children need to achieve.
Such "pro-social" lying shows that kids have developed sympathy and empathy, which are important aspects of social communication, says Professor Talwar. Her revealing hidden-camera tests with children show that fibbing is part of normal brain development.
So if lying starts as normal, when are white lies no longer white? Is the current political trend of "misspeaking" something less than lying? Is bluffing OK? White lies have no place on the reality game show Moment of Truth but wouldn't one be preferable to admitting the truth on national television that you'd prefer to be married to someone other than your spouse?
Tell us what you think: At what point do white lies start to yellow? Can lying ever be responsible? Do we need to go cold turkey on white lies and learn to value the truth?

Sugar in the Blood
- Discussion (0)
My earliest identifiable ancestor, George Ashby, was one of the many thousands of Englishmen who 'took ship' for the New World in the first half of the seventeenth century. His destination, Barbados, was in those days the most popular colony in the region, a magnet for swashbucklers and other restless hopefuls who considered mainland America prosaic in comparison.
And so George Ashby left England in the late 1630s a humble blacksmith, and arrived in Barbados 'a fighting farmer', with a hoe in his hand and a sword at his belt. He landed in a country that was different in every way from the one he had left behind. Instead of the English palette, which was permanently tinged with grey, the Caribbean was a chaos of colour, bombarding the senses with dazzling light, heavy scents, unfamiliar sounds. And so a man habituated to winter's shortening days, the turning of the leaves and cold nights crouched around heat-giving fires had to become accustomed to the eternal heat and days that were divided equally all year round. The lifestyle too was radically different. The population of Barbados, in new conurbations such as Bridgetown, was teeming with young men on the make (only 1 per cent of the early settlers were women): a motley assortment of English planters and privateers, Dutch traders and French merchants, as well as a sprinkling of – largely enslaved – black and Amerindian faces. Freed from the social constraints of the old country, these men cursed and fought and drank assiduously, coming together in rustic 'tippling houses' to reminisce about the old country and share information about the new, but most importantly to find consolation in the companionship of their fellow migrants and assuage the loneliness and uncertainty that assailed them in this strange and unfamiliar place. Only to separate at the end of the night and return to their isolated plantations, where they would resume their ongoing battle with the hostile wilderness of their plots of land. The work was brutal, the crops – tobacco, cotton, indigo – yielding at best a meagre benefit.

So I decided to share this amazing recipe that we got from Tara's mom, here you go!
Loaded Baked Potato & Chicken Casserole
- 2 lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
- 10-12 small red potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 cups mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
Preheat oven to 475. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add potatoes and coat with mixture. Place potatoes into a greased baking dish, leave as much of the mix as possible. Bake potatoes for 1 hour, flipping every 15-20 minutes. Check with fork to ensure potatoes are done. While potatoes are baking, coat chicken with remaining mixture and cook in skillet over medium heat until chicken is done. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 400. Add chicken, bacon, green onions to potatoes and distribute evenly in dish. Top with cheese and place in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing (optional).
Hope you enjoy the casserole, we just made it tonight for dinner and it was amazing.

this bra i didnt really love. im a 38c and when i bought it i also bought the biofit pushup(which i love) but this one i wouldnt recommend if you have big breast the strap kept going up and was so high on my back i had to pull it down and constantly re-adjust it and it just got so annoying i mean i love the colour but im not a big fan of it trust me the strap will look super high and it so emberassing when you've got on a shirt that has a low cut on the back
Love this bra....it's my favorite. I give it a 4 mainly for the fit, comfort, and shaping it gives your boobs. But for quality, it ONLY DESERVES A 2.
However. It doesn't last longer than six months to a year. I am pretty sure they only glue/adhere the material to the padding- they do not sew it, so the fabric literally peels off of the padding and makes it pretty much unwearable...unless you are brave enough to try Superglue.
More reviews by gossipqueen227
i love this bra. i am a 32B and need the extra lift. i have had no problems with the straps. i love the design too. it is very comfortable and doesnt move out of place. i recommend it to everyone. i thought this bra was going to squish my boobs and be uncomfortable, so i was shocked when i found out it doesn't squish and actually makes the bra worth the price.
I like the smooth lines of this bra (no show under clothes), and the little rhinestones on where the strap meets the bra cup are really really cute. They don't carry my true size in this bra so I had to get the sister size. I really wanted to like this bra. It fit well...for the most part. BUT...the straps keep falling down, no matter how tight I made the straps (the band would start to ride up) and the straps would still fall down. I know other people who had the same problem with the straps.
I wouldn't recommend this bra at all, I might even warn people because the concept is nice and it fits nicely when you try on, and it probably works well for the first few months but after that it starts stretching and it doesn't fit well anymore. Also, the seamlessness of this bra makes it somewhat slipperly on the skin especially during winter and it wouldn't stay intact on my body if you know what I mean. I think the shape of my breasts changed for the worse since I started wearing this bra daily. I have a feeling that they didn't consider the long term effects when they created this bra. It made me go back to basic, more reputable brands.
More reviews by scarlettbegonia
I love this bra. It lifts me very nicely and is very comfortable to wear. I found one left in my size for 12.99 on clearance and snatched it up.
This bra is amazing! So comfortable, gives the perfect shape under clothes, has just enought padding for no nipple show-though. I'm a 34C and this gives the perfect amount of lift. Definitely worth the money and I would for sure buy again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My mom got me this bra during the semi-annual sale. Even though VS doesn't carry my true bra size (30C), I can wear some of their bras in 32B. However, I have to wear 32B's at the tightest hook. So those bras don't last very long on me :
This bra is just okay to me. It's somewhat comfortable and gave me a little bit of cleavage. Somehow I feel that this bra isn't very durable (maybe because I had a ton of VS bras fall apart on me). I thought the sizing was a little off too. The cups feel a little smaller than other 32B's I own. I also agree with uplate's review. I think it would have been better if the sister sizes had similar padding rather than cup sizes. Overall, I think there are better bras for better prices.
I have 4 BioFit bras. They are comfortable, price range is decent, and it makes your cha-cha go vadaboom! I'm a 34B...or is it 32C? Oh well, anyway and it gives my breasts enough uplift a B cup would need, yet it doesnt make the top part of your breasts spilling out like most push ups do. Very classy, Victoria!
And under conservative clothing, this bra makes your breast look in a nice shape, held up right. And under something less conservative, it makes your curves and perks seem to have more than what you usually show for. Shh, that is the bra's secret :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My main reason for loving this bra is because Im 36DD, so I clearly dont need a generously padded bra that pushes everything up round my throat, but I do want a nice shape that doesnt feel suffocating.
The BIOFIT doesnt dig into my flesh, nor squash my breasts together, leaving them spilling over the top of the cups. It does enhance my cleavage and it does give a nicely rounded shape to my breasts, without looking to OOT and cartoonish.
The BIOFIT is finished like a t-shirt bra, so there are no lines, pulls or puckers visible through my clothes. Some of my past Victorias Secret bras have straps that give and fall down from where Id adjusted them too, but my BIOFIT straps havent given me that problem.
Ive had my latest BIOFIT for around 5 months, and despite frequent washings it still looks new. The fit has been true to its size.
Next time I go to the US Ill be buying more.

Santos Gabriel Cuaquehua-Itzacahua, 26, of no fixed address, allegedly had sexual intercourse with a child under 12 years old in October 2010 in Eleva, Wis. The Trempealeau County Sheriffs Offices search for Cuaquehua-Itzacahua came to end on Wednesday, August 14, when Winona County Sheriffs deputies arrested him at a farm outside of Altura.
Cuaquehua-Itzacahua was called upon to act as a Spanish-English interpreter to assist deputies who were responding to a bar fight at Pooters Bar in Altura at 1:58 a.m. on Wednesday. As deputies were sorting out the reported fight, one of the bartenders told a deputy that he thought he recognized Cuaquehua-Itzacahua from a wanted poster posted to Facebook by the Trempealeau County Sheriffs Office. The deputy confirmed that Cuaquehua-Itzacahua matched warrant photos from Trempealeau County.
At 7:43 p.m. on the same day, deputies went to the area farm where Cuaquehua-Itzacahua was living. Cuaquehua-Itzacahua offered a Mexican identification card, which deputies believe is false or not his own, but deputies were able to match Cuaquehua-Itzacahuas scars and moles to the Trempealeau County photos. He was arrested without incident and was extradited to the Trempealeau County Jail where he is awaiting prosecution.
Cuaquehua-Itzacahua faces two charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child under 12 and one charge of first-degree sexual conduct with a child under 13.

Online businesses are one of the most common way for a person to gain money on the internet these days. This is because, there are more people that would need to purchase items online. The problem is that there are businesses that a businessman needs to compete. That is why there are business owners that would rely on something called white paper. White paper is not a simple piece of paper that is color white that you can buy, but rather an important document to ensure that your business will become big online.
To put it in simple words, a white paper is a form of the report that focuses on various problems that a person may encounter and offers the best solutions to the problems at the same time. These papers are used to help readers learn about the brand that you are selling and how to use it efficiently.
Before, white papers are very common in the political field, but nowadays these papers are considered to be an important tool in business. These papers can be posted on a lot of places like a company's website, e-newsletters, presentations and can also be sent through email. This makes it a good way for a company to introduce their products online.
However, creating the white paper can be a very difficult thing to do. This is because, if the white paper is not good to read, then there is a likely possibility that no one will read it, and people would avoid your website. You do not want this to happen to your business. If you want to create a good white paper, then you should consider in using white paper templates. There are some good reasons why you should do this, some of those reasons include:
Less hassle- when you are going to use white paper templates, all you will need to do in creating the white paper is to think of the topic. Everything that you will need is already laid out for you to write. Thus, you don't have to think about how to construct the paper itself, but rather you will only do little changes to the white paper template itself.
The grammar is fixed- One of the biggest reason why a white paper becomes terrible is because of the grammar. However when you are going to use a white paper template, you only need to do small edits to finish the paper. Thus, the only way that you will change the grammar is if you do a big change to the template.
It's free- When you are going to use white paper templates, know that you don't need to spend at all. There are a lot of free sample white paper templates that you can find on the internet that you can use. However, when you are going to use free sample white paper templates, you should choose one that will really suit your business as there are some people that would choose free white paper templates that make the white paper terrible when paired with the product or services they offer.

Brewing my first batch of cider. It stopped fermenting after about 2-weeks, and has a SG of about 0.098, so I think it has used up all of the sugar. It's been sitting for about 3 additional weeks (5-weeks total), and I'd like to bottle it. It smells great, but tastes very dry, and has lost a lot of apple flavor. My preference is for a wetter, fruitier cider (e.g. strongbow). Would I be OK to prime it with some pasturized apple juice instead of dextrose or DME at bottling time? If so, how much new juice would be appropriate for 10-gallons of fermented cider? My theory is that it should carbonate from some of the sugar in the new juice, and hopefully add some residual apple taste. Is that good logic, or is that likely to give me bottle-bombs?
I don't know how much juice exactly, but you can always do the sugar math with the nutrition facts on the bottle of juice and use as many grams of sugar in the juice as you were planning to use white sugar or dextrose.
You wont get a sweet cider if you prime and let it carb up. You'll have to stop the yeast by cold crashing or pasteurizing before all the sugar is fermented. I do my priming by adding a can of thawed concentrate for a 5 gal batch. Then cold crash after I find a good balance on Carb and sweetness.

While I might fantasize that I grew up in a Brady Bunch-type house, I did grow up one of six kids in Indiana and, thankfully, the television was my friend way before any dumb psychologists said too much TV was bad for you. I was the Opinion Page editor of the John Adams Tower during my high school years and fought battles to get reviews of Cagney and Lacey heard instead of the (boring) teen drugs and drunk driving stories. Indiana University would teach me that I could take classes where I could watch Mary Tyler Moore and write A+ papers about the impact of historical narrative on prime time characters on television. Post college, I headed West and, after paying my dues as an Executive Assistant at Sony Pictures Television, I wrote on the original Beverly Hills 90210. How did I get from writing dialogue for Tori Spelling to panning her reality show? More to come….

I've been thinking a lot lately about the Divine.
I had the opportunity to have grown up in a family with a deep faith. And although my view of God and the Divine has expanded to include concepts and ideas outside of traditional Christianity, I am grateful for having experienced very early what it means to believe in something larger and more important than myself. It is that sense of being part of a larger purpose that continues to inform my days — if only to pull me back closer to sanity when I become shallow, self-absorbed and judgmental.
Over the last month, in a time of what feels like global darkness, I have taken up the challenge of actively looking for the Divine in my daily life. Forcing myself to take notice and absorb lightness and beauty.
At one point, I considered posting some of those moments to this blog. They are, after all, in Eugene. But it didn't take me many days to realize that — at least for the time being — the Divine is spring and spring is DIVINE. Which, in practical terms means discovering beauty in bloom upon bloom upon bloom. Not exactly a narrative arc
I will post the collection here some day, but for the moment, I am sticking closer to the original intent of this photo blog: capturing the Eugene vibe. For me, nothing says Eugene quite like re-opening of Saturday Market and the accompanying bounty of the Farmer's Market.
As far as embracing the Divine? I think I got it today.

In The New York Times' "Room for Debate," political science professor Severine Autesserre joins other experts in dialogue about "How to Stabilize Congo." She suggests that peacebuilding should come from within the country. An excerpt:
"In addition to supporting national and international reconciliation, foreign peace-builders must start tackling conflicts from the bottom up. Local groups should lead such efforts. But since they often lack the funding, logistical means or technical capacity to implement programs, international donors should assist them."

Israel Kills Terrorists, the World Goes Off Half-Cocked
When I saw these headlines this morning, I knew something was amiss:
At Least 10 Are Killed as Israel Halts Flotilla With Gaza Aid
Israeli soldiers kill at least 10 protesters on boat carrying supplies to Gaza
Israel Attacks Palestinian Aid Flotilla
Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship
Israel has one of the best-trained, most disciplined special forces groups in the world. How could they have opened fire on a "flotilla" of completely innocent peace activists, considering that they've dealt with these people before and knew they were coming?
As so often happens, I was right. There was something amiss — the whole story. We are now learning, thanks to more circumspect news outlets like YNet News, that the Israeli boarding team was attacked the very second it reached the deck of the ship.
A few minutes before the takeover attempt aboard the Marmara got underway, the operation commander was told that 20 people were waiting on the deck where a helicopter was to deploy the first team of the elite Flotilla 13 unit. The original plan was to disembark on the top deck, and from there rush to the vessel's bridge and order the Marmara's captain to stop.
Officials estimated that passengers will show slight resistance, and possibly minor violence; for that reason, the operation's commander decided to bring the helicopter directly above the top deck. The first rope that soldiers used in order to descend down to the ship was wrested away by activists, most of them Turks, and tied to an antenna with the hopes of bringing the chopper down. However, Flotilla 13 fighters decided to carry on.
Navy commandoes slid down to the vessel one by one, yet then the unexpected occurred: The passengers that awaited them on the deck pulled out bats, clubs, and slingshots with glass marbles, assaulting each soldier as he disembarked. The fighters were nabbed one by one and were beaten up badly, yet they attempted to fight back.
According to the report, the soldiers fired back only after the "peace activists" attacked them, took at least one weapon from the team, and threw a soldier 30 feet from the upper deck of the ship. This video bears out the Israeli report.
This video gives a better look at what happened to the first Israeli down the rope.
See those guns the soldiers are pointing at the guys who just beat the heck out of their compatriots? Those are paintball guns. The real guns hadn't even come out yet. Well, not out of Israeli holsters, at least.
Remember that all the Israelis asked of the flotilla was that it either subject itself to a cargo inspection where it was or off-load the materials legally and in accordance to established law at the port of Ashdod. That wasn't good enough. Indeed, from what I've seen, the ship was full of terrorists intent on making Israel look like the bad guy in the eyes of the international community and the Al-Jazeera accounts of this story prove that without question.
World leaders have taken the Islamist's bait and are condemning Israel in their usual knee-jerk fashion, without a moment's though to whether ">the whole thing was a set-up. The Muslim world has, on cue, taken to the streets for their usual rioting and mayhem. Prime Minister Netanyahu has cancelled a White House visit (that would have accomplished nothing given that President Obama refuses to treat him as a friend or ally) and the blogosphere has divided itself along the usual Israel/Islamist lines.
What does it all mean? Really, I don't know that it means anything. This is the same old story that plays out on a very regular basis. Hamas or Hezbollah or some other Islamist hate group goads Israel into defending itself. Israel does so, usually but not always with heroic restraint, and gets a face full of the world's vitriol. It used to be that our only steadfast ally in the Middle East could rely on us to back them up but these days they can't even rely on that.
I know two things for sure. First, Gaza is not the House of Woe that the Islamists say it is. No area that boasts its own Olympic-sized swimming pool (in the middle of a desert, yet) and a top-flight restaurant that does booming business is on the edge of ruin. Second, there is no doubt in my mind that Hamas, Hezbollah, et. al. could stop the killing right now by laying down their arms. Israel could do the same, but the killing would take a little time to stop. After all, slaughtering every Jew in the region isn't the work of one day.
Now why hasn't that happened? Why hasn't Hamas simply stopped lobbing rockets at kids and gotten down to the serious and worthwhile business of governing Gaza competently, for the benefit of those who live there? Why does Hezbollah, flush with Iranian cash and acting on the orders of Mad Mahmoud and the Mullahs sue for peace immediately, knowing the weight of the world would guarantee it?
Why didn't they dock the flotilla at Ashdod?

Capturing the moment
I was sitting in a café with my friend David when he said, 'There's something to look at behind you.'
I glanced across, trying not to be obvious. All I saw was an old woman eating her soup. David leaned forward. 'She's like a Rembrandt.'
I looked again and noticed her intent concentration. She was very old, her body shrunk to a few feet, and every movement was a painful effort. Slowly, very slowly, she raised her spoon from her bowl to her mouth. And slowly she lowered it again. Her face was creased into a web of lines, as if her skin was fracturing and these lines, held together only by the …

Finding our values
My New year's resolution this year is not to make any New Year resolutions. In any case, I've usually forgotten about them February. The real changes I've made have come when I've been in touch with the motivations that underpin my life and seen clearly what I need to do next.
At the end of the MBSR course we ask the question, does mindfulness practice touch on your underlying values – things you really care about that can continue to motivate you over the years? It's moving to hear what people say: "I've spent my life rushing, now I want to go deeper"; "I really love my children and I want to …

Defusing the anger bomb
What can you do when things are about to blow? Here's some advance on working with anger – or any other strong emotion – with mindfulness
The 1997 movie The Peacemaker is mostly a routine and forgettable thriller. In fact, it is really pretty bad, but there are two things I remember about it. The first is the pairing of George Clooney and Nicole Kidman; and second there's a scene right at the end that has stuck in my mind as an image for how mindfulness can help in a crisis.
There's a bomb in the UN building that's going to blow in a few seconds. Nicole Kidman knows how to defuse these …

Making Wise Decisions
Decisions shape our lives, but psychologists say we are remarkably bad at making them. That's true of strategic decisions, tactical decisions and decisions made in the heat of the moment. Typically, we are poor at assessing risk, understanding probabilities and anticipating consequences. We overestimate our capacity to make good decisions and underestimate the true influence of emotion, bias and assumptions in what we do.
We need to learn for ourselves how to make good decisions and that's where the Buddha comes in. His teachings won't help with the specifics, but they offer insights into the process of how to make a wise decision. And the starting point is clearing our minds of …

"The Novice," by Stephen Schettini
Vishvapani reviews Schettini's heartfelt and vivid account of becoming a Tibetan Buddhist monk and his valuable reflections on what it means for westerners to practice Buddhism
When I first encountered Buddhism in the UK around 1980 there was already a generation of established practitioners, most of whom shared a common background. They were hippies … or should that be ex-hippies? Their faces lit up as they recounted their adventures: how they set out from respectable homes to discover the excitements of London's Kings Road, join the flower children in the Haight, or make exotic journeys to the East. There were stories of dope deals that went wrong, revelatory acid trips, close shaves with bandits in …

The technology of happiness
For years westerners have assumed that Buddhists must be a miserable lot: their teachings dwell so much on suffering. But recent scientific research suggests what Buddhists have believed all along. Buddhism — or at least Buddhist meditation — leads to happiness.
Media headlines in the last few years have trumpeted new research into the effects of meditation on brain activity, behavior and even resistance to disease. The findings are still provisional, but as the philosopher Owen Flanagan commented in New Scientist magazine: "The most reasonable hypothesis is that there's something about conscientious …

Bid for freedom
Is it possible to combine spiritual practice with professional poker, to remain detached and equanimous in the midst of a game full of bluffing, where the aim is to take away other people's money?

"Available Truth: Excursions into Buddhist Wisdom and the Natural World," by Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano
Nyanasobhano, an American actor/playwright turned Theravadin Buddhist, writes essays and reflections on the Buddhist path that stand well apart from the general run of writing on Buddhism for their sheer literary quality. His first book, Landscapes of Wonder was a triumph of lyrical meditation and close observation of nature. Then came Longing for Certainty, and Available Truth is his third collection. Here he is, at the start of this book, displaying his gifts in evoking the experience of waking up and feeling refreshed:
"In the kitchen a spoon rings faintly against a dish like a notice of some imminent music, and even the familiar smells of breakfast float up to us as if they

LRDG seminar: Literacy network analyses of a Chinese migrant child's multiliteracy practices in BritainDate: 29 January 2008 Time: 1.00 - 2.00 pm Literacy network analyses of a Chinese migrant child's multiliteracy practices in Britain Jing Sheng, Lancaster University Since the 1980s when studies of Chinese children in Britain first appeared, the identity formation and multi-literate developments of Chinese immigrant students - those who have received some Chinese education in China and come to Britain later - still remain under-explored within sociology and sociolinguistics. This paper focuses on my doctoral research exploring issues with social network and identities formations implicated in Chinese immigrant children's Chinese and English uses in Britain. The research is grounded in New Literacy Studies (NLS). The data I am going to present is Ming's poker play literacy practices and online news reading practices respectively. I will present how I use the components of literacy events, literacy practices, and another new concept (literacy events network) to analyze Ming's multiliteracy practices in Britain.

Understanding the Tacit
My chum Steve Turner has a new book out. It has much Oakeshott interest and as many will know Steve has been a longstanding Oakeshott commentator. For me, one of his key articles is "Tradition and Cognitive Science: Oakeshott's Undoing of the Kantian Mind", a piece that I reference quite regularly. OK, so the book is ridiculously expensive – just put in a request to your library. Here is an excerpt: Tacitness in Practice Theory Practices Then and Now.
EPISTEME 9.4 now available
This marks the first year we have published on a quarterly cycle and compared with most journals, we are up to date with no backlog: contents and abstracts
Yuri Cath
Many philosophers accept a view – what I will call the intuition picture – according to which intuitions are crucial evidence in philosophy. Recently, Williamson (2004, 2007: ch. 1) has argued that such views are best abandoned because they lead to a psychologistic conception of philosophical evidence that encourages scepticism about the armchair judgements relied upon in philosophy. In this paper I respond to this criticism by showing how the intuition picture can be formulated in such a way that: (i) it is consistent with a wide range of views about not only philosophical evidence but also the nature of evidence in general, including Williamson's famous view that E = K; (ii) it can maintain the central claims about the nature and role of intuitions in philosophy made by proponents of the intuition picture; (iii) it does not collapse into Williamson's own deflationary view of the nature and role of intuitions in philosophy; and (iv) it does not lead to scepticism.
Weng Hong Tang
This paper focuses on the view that rationality requires that our credences be regular. I go through different formulations of the requirement, and show that they face several problems. I then formulate a version of the requirement that solves most of, if not all, these problems. I conclude by showing that an argument thought to support the requirement as traditionally formulated actually does not; if anything, the argument, slightly modified, supports my version of the requirement.
Andrew Moon
The new evil demon problem is often considered to be a serious obstacle for externalist theories of epistemic justification. In this paper, I aim to show that the new evil demon problem ('NEDP') also afflicts the two most prominent forms of internalism: moderate internalism and historical internalism. Since virtually all internalists accept at least one of these two forms, it follows that virtually all internalists face the NEDP. My secondary thesis is that many epistemologists – including both internalists and externalists – face a dilemma. The only form of internalism that is immune to the NEDP, strong internalism, is a very radical and revisionary view – a large number of epistemologists would have to significantly revise their views about justification in order to accept it. Hence, either epistemologists must accept a theory that is susceptible to the NEDP or accept a very radical and revisionary view.
Aidan McGlynn
In light of the failure of attempts to analyse knowledge as a species of justified belief, a number of epistemologists have suggested that we should instead understand justification in terms of knowledge. This paper focuses on accounts of justification as a kind of 'would-be' knowledge. According to such accounts a belief is justified just in case any failure to know is due to uncooperative external circumstances. I argue against two recent accounts of this sort due to Alexander Bird and Martin Smith. A further aim is to defend a more traditional conception, according to which justification is a matter of sufficiently high evidential likelihood. In particular, I suggest that this conception of justification offers a plausible account of lottery cases: cases in which one believes a true proposition – for example that one's lottery ticket will lose – on the basis of probabilistic evidence.
William D. Rowley
An objection to reductionism in the epistemology of testimony that is often repeated but rarely defended in detail is that there is not enough positive evidence to provide the non-testimonial, positive reasons reductionism requires. Thus, on pain of testimonial skepticism, reductionism must be rejected. Call this argument the 'Not Enough Evidence Objection' (or 'NEEO'). I will defend reductionism about testimonial evidence against the NEEO by arguing that we typically have non-testimonial positive reasons in the form of evidence about our testifier's evidence. With a higher-level evidence principle borrowed from recent work on the epistemology of disagreement, I argue that, granting some plausible assumptions about conversational norms, the NEEO is unsound.
Chris Tucker
Many epistemologists hold that the Zebra Deduction (the animals are zebras, so they aren't cleverly disguised mules) fails to transmit knowledge to its conclusion, but there is little agreement concerning why it has this defect. A natural idea is, roughly, that it fails to transmit because it fails to improve the safety of its conclusion. In his 'Transmission Failure Explained', Martin Smith defends a transmission principle which is supposed to underwrite this natural idea. There are two problems with Smith's account. First, Smith's argument for his transmission principle relies on a dubious premise (§1). Second, even if his transmission principle is true, Smith shows neither that it prevents the Zebra Deduction from transmitting knowledge to its conclusion, nor that it secures the natural idea (§2). I suspect that the failures of Smith's account will be instructive for anyone who wants to connect transmission failure with a failure to enhance the safety, reliability or probability of one's conclusion.
What to Believe Now: Applying Epistemology to Contemporary Issues
Yet another strong Wiley title. David Coady also did a fine job of guest editing EPISTEME for a themed issue on Conspiracy Theories (aside from Harry Frankfurt's little book where else would a title in mainstream academia have the word "shit" so prominent – see Pete Mandik's paper).
Symposium on Pragmatic Encroachment
Two free discussion papers from EPISTEME 9:1
Chandra Sekhar Sripada and Jason Stanley
According to Interest-Relative Invariantism, whether an agent knows that p, or possesses other sorts of epistemic properties or relations, is in part determined by the practical costs of being wrong about p. Recent studies in experimental philosophy have tested the claims of IRI. After critically discussing prior studies, we present the results of our own experiments that provide strong support for IRI. We discuss our results in light of complementary findings by other theorists, and address the challenge posed by a leading intellectualist alternative to our view.
Jeremy Fantl and Matthew McGrath
There is pragmatic encroachment on some epistemic status just in case whether a proposition has that status for a subject depends not only on the subject's epistemic position with respect to the proposition, but also on features of the subject's non-epistemic, practical environment. Discussions of pragmatic encroachment usually focus on knowledge. Here we argue that, barring infallibilism, there is pragmatic encroachment on what is arguably a more fundamental epistemic status – the status a proposition has when it is warranted enough to be a reason one has for believing other things.
Science, the Market and Iterative Knowledge
The second paper co-authored with Dave Hardwick has now been published in Studies in Emergent Order:
Abstract: In a recent paper (Hardwick & Marsh, in press) we examine the recent tensions between the two broadly successful spontaneous orders, namely the Market and Science. We argued for an epistemic pluralism, the view that freedom and liberty (indeed the very concept of liberalism and civil society) exists at the nexus of a manifold of spontaneous forces, and that no single epistemic system should dominate. We also briefly introduced the concept of "iterative" knowledge to characterize the essentially dynamic nature of scientific knowledge. Herein lies a tension. The Market (and perhaps the prevailing culture at large) sees scientific knowledge in cumulative terms, that is, progressing to a conclusion in a linear fashion. This relatively static understanding of medical science as it relates to pharmaceutical studies can have a corrosive effect on the practice of medicine and ultimately, we believe, on the proper functioning of the market itself. In this paper we examine this tension in much closer detail by focusing upon the demands of the market, specifically the pharmaceutical industry, and the science upon which it is based. In other words, we expound upon a clash of epistemic value – one (science) that sees knowledge as essentially iterative (dynamic yet tentative) and the other (the Market) that harvests conclusive scientific knowledge (ostensibly as a fixed and firm commodity) functional to its own interests. Clinical Trials that are sharply focused with precisely determined deliverables often manifest this tension in the sharpest of relief. As a means of recovering drug development and testing costs, conclusive assessment is required to avoid creating serious financial problems for the companies themselves not to mention issues in the public interest.
Cognitive Opening and Closing: Toward an Exploration of the Mental World of Entrepreneurship
Here is Thierry Aimar's intro to his paper for Hayek in Mind.
Contemporary analysis usually divides games of chance into three dimensions. In Machina and Schmeidler's (1992) terms, this division can be viewed based on the example of an urn containing 90 balls of different colors, out of which an agent pulls a ball, of which he must ex ante guess its color to achieve a predetermined gain. If the agent knows that the number of red, white, and black balls is the same (30), he finds himself in a situation of risk: He knows the possible consequences and the probability distributions, that is, he has one in three chances of getting a ball of any particular color. However, if he knows that these balls are red, white, and black, but in indefinite proportions, he is confronted with situations qualified as uncertainty: The consequences are known, but the probability distributions are not. Yet again, if the agent knows there are 90 balls of different colors in the urn but does not know how many of these colors there are, he is in a state of incomplete information: The agent is unable to define the list of possible outcomes (situation of ambiguity) and can expect some surprises identifiable ex ante, as states of nature are identifiable. An extra dimension may be added to this distinction: If the agent has himself placed 30 red balls in the box, but he does not know what other elements of indefinite character and number there are in the box, nor the structure of gains or losses associated with various results, then we can consider that the agent is in a position of ignorance. Not only is he unable to define the list of consequences of the game, but he also does not know the distribution of events. The agent is able to define what he knows, but unlike the three previous cases, he cannot determine the scope and nature of what he ignores. The surprise is necessarily unexpected in the sense that the agent is unable to identify ex ante the possible states of nature. It is in this latter perspective that Kirzner (1973, 1979, 1982) argues that market actors face a phenomenon of ''genuine ignorance,'' reflecting their inability to know all the opportunities for exchange or profit available in an economy. At any point in time, each individual perceives only fragmentary aspects of social reality in which he participates, and not its other facets. Each exchange is made in ignorance of other exchanges performed at the same time; thus, there is no common knowledge of prices and no actor can perceive the whole. In a monetary economy, the consequences of these independent exchanges are mutually dependent. The implications of this genuine ignorance on the coordination of activities are thus considerable. Using the example of Schmeidler and Machina's urn (1992) from the time when the consequences of a draw for each individual depend on the (unknown) number of elements (of unknown character) deposited in the ballot box by an (unknown) number of (unknown) people, the ability of such a game to produce a balance is at least questionable. The stakes of this phenomenon of ignorance compel us to identify its sources. These are not found in any complexity of information, neither in the cost of its acquisition nor in its treatment (deliberation) from a perspective of bounded rationality. They come from a more fundamental phenomenon of dynamic subjectivism. According to authors such as Kinder (1973, 1979, 1997) and Lachmann (1977, 1986), agents' preferences, endowments, knowledge, and strategies should be defined as personal, unique. Therefore, each individual is a priori ignorant of how others evaluate goods and services. Economic analysis is not therefore based on a perfect, or even sufficient knowledge of actors to coordinate their activities. The diversity of actors' preferences, interpretations, and expectations would certainly not be a problem if they were constants. A process of trial and error would lead to new learning, opening onto a price structure that would allow coordination. But this is in fact not the case because the individual performances would change continuously, according to an endogenous process, ultimately explained by ignorance or internal self-ignorance (Aimar, 2008a). As Hayek (1951a, 1951b) explained, the actor can only partially perceive the existing opportunities for satisfaction, for reasons related to the organization of the human brain and the tacit characteristic of knowledge. His conscious choices being ignorant of a portion of his subjectivity, he makes mistakes, expressed by disappointment with satisfaction. He undergoes a de facto internal discoordination, forcing him to change his representations to make his beliefs conform to the reality of his interior environment. But changing choices results in transforming his internal environment and de facto creates new unknown areas. The mind, constantly evading the consciousness's desire to fully absorb it, makes the process of self-discovery never-ending. Thus, market discoordination, the result of genuine ignorance, is finally but an internal discoordination, consequence of a phenomenon of self-ignorance. It was around this phenomenon of genuine ignorance and its perverse effects on coordination between individuals that Kirzner introduced the theme of entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurial function, driven by the incentive of profit, is to discover unperceived opportunities. Mobilizing qualities of alertness, reflected in cognitive openness, it reveals previously hidden information. Through his discoveries being translated into new money transactions, the entrepreneur socializes his knowledge and contributes to pulling market activities toward coordination. He goes beyond reducing ignorance; he transforms ignorance into uncertainty. But according to Kirzner, a parallel mission of the entrepreneur is to organize already discovered opportunities in the form of firms' production plans, in order to protect them from risk of obsolescence resulting from the volatility of data. In a dynamic world, discovery and exploitation of opportunity are then the two faces of entrepreneurship. The author argues that these two dimensions may be contradictory in the entrepreneurial mind. As much as discovery implies a cognitive opening to the outside, all exploitation of discovered opportunities is accompanied by elements of mental rigidity. These take the form of cognitive closure, thus opposing the entrepreneur's perception of new opportunities. The aim of this contribution is to illuminate by the structure of this contradiction by economic analysis, to provide the means to verify it through experimental economics and to consider its extensions in terms of neuroeconomics. Our plan is this: After explaining the basics of the theory of entrepreneurship and the elements that determine its duality, we will define the bases for an experimental protocol likely to support our thesis of an opposition in the cognitive field between the relative strengths of discovery and the exploitation of opportunities in the entrepreneurial mind. The last section forms the conclusion.
