Guest article by #Heinz #Luediger: “The #illusion of #time or where #Kant was wrong”
Here he spans a #logical #thread through the #history of #philosophy, which is based on the #metaphysical #concepts of #being and #becoming and leads to the steep #thesis that “time” is identical with #logic. But Mr. Luediger should rather explain this himself in his #essay published here.

A new Ph.D thesis prize is being established in honor of Zoé Chatzidakis, by Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris.
This yearly award for an outstanding thesis in model theory will honor her scientific legacy and her commitment to the younger generation.

I'm pleased to say that I'm helping to organise the #ANU #LogicSummerSchool , which will be running in its 33rd straight year! The website https://comp.anu.edu.au/lss/ is mostly TBA notices at the moment, of course, but we do have the dates: 1-12 December. This is an international event and we hope to be able to have a limited number of grants available for students to use to travel to #Canberra . #logic
“We’re stepping into the most pro-growth, pro-business, pro-American administration I’ve perhaps seen in my adult lifetime,” gushed the hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in December...
“You don’t get fired for being bullish, but you do get fired for being bearish on Wall Street,” said Berezin.

I'm excited to join the editorial board of a new diamond open access journal in mathematical logic:
ZML: Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik
The open letter of the editors of ZML can be found online on the webpage.
More on the collective action and an editorial board walk-out that led to the creation of this new journal:
https://blog.tib.eu/2025/04/07/mlq-walk-out/
Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

See the open letter announcing their resignations and plans for the new journal.

The new journal has a German title but will publish in English, _Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik_.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD), and just added an entry for this one, at the bottom in chronological order.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journal_declarations_of_independence#2025
I also track them — and discussions of them — in the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp).

@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

#Aristotle named five interlinked Noble Sciences which together make up #Philosophy.
- #Metaphysics: the study of existence, the nature of the universe and all its contents
- #Logic: the ways we may know something, the set of permissible conclusions we may draw based on our perceptions, and some sensible rules of deduction and inference
- #Ethics: what we know about man and what we may deduce and infer (through Logic) about acceptable interactions between pairs of individuals

Why to people do it? That is, set up a stalkiing horse in order to break it down. That is absolutely no 'proof' of anything except your narcisstic tendancy to virtue signal. Please stop it. Think twice, post rarely. 
#UKPol #Economics #Logic #LINO . You cannot prove a negative. i.) 'no action' is not = higher waiting lists? ii.) Is that money 'ringfenced' ?? That lie, #BREXIT = £300 zillion squid for the #NHS The #NHS must be staffed / resourced to the gills by now. Only it isn't. #SOSNHS .
#RachelReeves has defended the £40bn in tax increases in autumn’s budget as businesses brace for their impact, saying #NHS waiting lists would now be higher if she had not taken action.

I’m just about to be on the road again, to talk about proof theory, modal logic, a hint of medieval logic, and even a tiny smidgen of metaphysics.
On this little European jaunt, the first stop is Prague, then Vienna, and at the end, Amsterdam. I’m looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones. If you’re in that part of the world, and you’re into that sort of thing, I’d love to see you.
Why do "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"?
In my new Invisible Universe column, I decode how the phrase that Carl Sagan made famous is routinely misunderstood & abused -- and how to use it as the BS detector it's meant to be.
