Re-#introduction time!
I am a philosopher, working on epistemology and metaphysics. I am very keen on all things modal, but specially on abilities and knowledge of ability, know-how, understanding...
I completed my PhD at KU Leuven, and I am in between jobs at the moment. Wish me luck!
I care about music, design, environmental ethics, phil of maths, logic, programming. Just very curious overall, I guess...
submitted an application. fingers crossed.
unpopular (?) opinion, music
I like that pitchfork brought the score of Daft Punk's RAM down. That album always mostly sucked.
Did some productive procrastinating today and prepared a talk I am going to give... in a month.
While I prefer working in English rather than in my native language (Spanish), I think it is valuable to critically discuss whether there is an undue fixation on English that leads to systemic unbalances and marginalization of non-native speakers in philosophy. Thus, I have signed the Barcelona Principles for a Globally Inclusive Philosophy: https://contesi.wordpress.com/bp/
the new teaser for the upcoming Matrix movie has a bit where the narrator says something like: 'you now believe it to be 14:57, but nothing could be further from the truth.' it changes every minute, which is pretty neat. but my brain went: so, wait, how do you measure how far from the truth? and if it changes, are there different times which are all the farthest from the truth (14:58 is equally far)? and after a whole day, wouldn't there be no time which was closer to the truth?

They should warn everyone planning to become a researcher that thinking is hard.
after losing my work due to a laptop reset, i finally finished and sent back the paper review i was working on.
Food, non-vegan
Minced beef with mint and basmati rice (for the beef I used this recipe https://youtu.be/UrK4WmC-kK8 ) it's really good!

Love to have a thought and not be able to fully articulate it in any meaningful manner outside of my own head
Me: "I wonder why this review has not received any feedback..."
The Journal: Actually... you should not have used the platform, you should have sent us the document by email instead.
Me: 
... OK
So... by the way, I will be teaching this semester, a course on the philosophy of social sciences (not my area of expertise, but I think I will manage -- at least I hope I do 🤞 ).
