8 "Nobody can go further than I in condemnation of this way of using probability, which completely vitiates the theory and practice of Inductive and Abductive reasoning, has set back civilization, and has corrupted ideals" (CP 2.101, 1902).

Peirce’s not-at-all dramatic take on subjective interpretations of probability

In the second half of the twentieth century, Bayesians began to hold that they had a solution to the problem of induction. What is this solution exactly, what does it tell us about the problem of induction, and does the solution work? You can find out in my new paper!

Thank you! For your kind words and for your encouragements and discussions about Hume a few years ago which really helped :)

I'm very proud of this paper (it's the first of my publications to be on what I consider my actual area of research as opposed to just a side project), and I'm very proud that it's coming out in the great, open access journal @philimprint.bsky.social

It’s really bad form that they only invite patients to share their personal experience (eg cello guy) and not to share their expertise on trial design, research processes, and more like you and Letícia did. Ethics and social stuff should be embedded in every talk too!

Was the initial invitation to speak on your own experience? I’m SO glad you both did the presentations you did, which were sorely needed

Amazing talk, thank you so much for your work

I don’t know if you’re on Twitter but there is also really good live tweeting by plague rat. It’s more detailed than what the sick times are doing which can be better or worse depending on what you’re looking for x.com/x3r0gx4/stat...

Entirely agree with you on this, and it’s interesting to see that the part of the IACC community that displays a shocking lack of knowledge and solidarity with the HIV/AIDS movement is also pushing against the kind of LC research that RFK Jr is attacking

I’d be grateful if more were written on RFK’s AIDS denialism—important context IMO when we hear him say things like, Long Covid docs are being ignored like docs were ignored in the AIDS crisis. I think he’s dog-whistling alternative therapies that posited lifestyle and not HIV caused AIDS.

In a @bmj.com survey of 183 patient/public #PeerReviewers assaying their experience, perspectives on payment (£50 or an online #BMJ journal subscription) (69% response rate), 84% reported a good/very good experience, 48% might be more likely to review @emmajdoble.bsky.social @amyprice.bsky.social

Congratulations!!

Hot off the press: Michael Kremer’s and my resurrection of Margaret Macdonald.

What an honour to be on this list! I’d love to read a draft or listen to the talk :))

Really recommend this paper on the production of ignorance (agnotology) in medicine!

Powerful closing remarks from PLRC co-founder @ahandvanish.bsky.social at the Keystone Symposia on #LongCovid last week, reflecting on the state of research and the journey of the patient community:

"In our immediate presence, time slows, while the world beyond speeds up, and moves without us”

One way to interpret this question (among many!) is: how many of one’s skills is one willing to stop training? writing an abstract, improving one’s prose, etc. are all very important to philosophical work; knowing how to condense or expand on sth are parts of what makes a good philosopher!

I do not! Thank you so much for the pointer, this is super interesting

This is why pwME get so upset when newcomers to the field don’t engage existing experts. We have lost so, so much time, and critical information, to people who refuse to build on existing knowledge.

Indeed. And further..

yay to finding each other on here :) and I really can’t wait to read your paper about trans healthcare!!

No reason at all 💀

Just reupping this paper in which Chloé lays out systematically the reasons enlisting lived experience reviewers can help reduce errors that scientists without that experience are prone to.

Why? No reason 🙃

Receiving this kind of feedback from others with LC means so, so much. Solidarity!

Thanks Martin :))

My paper has been assigned to an issue at Mind! I argue that the algebra of propositions on which an agent’s credences are defined cannot be relativised to their “awareness context”, but they can be relativised to what the agent considers possible
