Great presentation from @Ema_SB @QEDcon #QEDcon on 1 Factor vs 2 Factor explanation for clinical delusion. I think her 1 Factor view is a more ethical framing and offers better opportunity for progress.

It's really awesome to see your work be thought about and discussed by others. In this blog post @JulianBaggini considers whether my ideas about confabulation mean that we can think of it more as a feature than a bug of our social lives. I like it!

Lovely to see that #confabulation is finally getting a better press among philosophers (thanks to @kmurphyhollies's excellent work). If you want to know more, @SophieStams and I co-edited an entire special issue of Topoi on the topic (all open access🔓) link.springer.com/article/10…

It is the ‘strategy’ of natural #selection, which ‘wants’ us all well fed and well rested until we bear fruit, but does not care about how authentic and fulfilling our lives are.” 3/3 thebsps.org/reviewofbooks/bo…

“When #madness is seen as a strategy, it is not our own strategy, but the actualization of some obscure plan that we do not fully understand. It’s the strategy of a god who punishes before redeeming and maybe saves, but who has little compassion for our struggles…1/3

This thoughtful review from @lisabortolotti is a good reminder to add @justin_garson's new book on madness to the 'must read soon' pile. Sounds fascinating.
