New links in the Heap… “There are just so many other things you could be doing” — Daniel Groll wrote something for his students about the role of phones in their lives. (Perhaps it would work better as a TikTok?) “I can now keep walking and say things like ‘Find the relevant sections of the papers I mentioned, add them to the notes for Chapter 3, and update the references accordingly’” — Gus Skorburg shares how he uses AI in his work Improve your philosophy teaching with this one weird trick — an old DN post with an easy-to-adopt piece of teaching advice Did you get today’s Soundle? — an argument-completing game developed by high school student Solomon Zu, with new arguments every day “I know what a life of real hard work is like. It’s a blessing to be able to live a life of the mind instead” — Duncan Pritchard held various jobs as he saved to go to university—bricklayer, gravedigger—which gives him an appreciation of academic life Sometimes your consent is not normatively effective even if it’s “based on your genuine preferences, and the content of those preferences is not in itself troubling” — Why? Richard Pettigrew has an answer. “Philosophy lives in the space between the questions we know how to ask and the questions we know how to answer” — Mark Schroeder answers questions at “Why Philosophy?” Mini-Heap posts usually appear when several new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thank you.Previous edition.
