Twisted Logic; Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Big Questions by Leighton Vaughan Williams, 2024

Draws upon an array of popular and novel puzzles, problems, and paradoxes, and uses these to help understand and navigate our everyday world. Addresses some of the big questions. Aimed at all those interested in learning about weird and wonderful problems and paradoxes.

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 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

zml.international/

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:
blog.tib.eu/2025/04/07/mlq-wal

Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.
open-access.network/services/n

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.

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
