I honestly don’t get all this stuff about not publishing your work. Time to brag, boy will I get shit on for this comment, but it’s really relevant to the issue here: I never even had a minor in the subject, but when I had a good philosophical argument I got it published in a journal, and it wasn’t that hard. Peer reviewed, not predatory, went through three rounds of revisions. Not a prestigious journal by any stretch of the imagination, but it proves that I knew what I was doing, which is good enough. You think that peer review is bullshit, fine: that means it’s not that hard. With your supposedly superior understanding of academic incentives and meta-science and all that stuff, I’m sure you can dress up something so that it tickles the reviewers in the right way. Not wanting to mess with it most of the time is understandable, but you can still do us the courtesy of at least getting one or two things through the gauntlet so that we aren’t left scratching our heads in confusion about whether we’re looking at Kripke or Timecube or something in between. MIRI did it so you can too. Plus, it sounds like lots of this research is being kept hidden from public view entirely, which I just can’t fathom.
The movement building sounds like good stuff however, I’m happy to see that.
