Kant's nutshell argument for idealism
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract The significance or vacuity of the statement, “Everything has just doubled in size,” attracted considerable attention last century from scientists and philosophers. Presenting his conventionalism in geometry, Poincaré insisted on the emptiness of a hypothesis that all objects have doubled in size overnight.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

The strength of organ, tissue, and body field effects determines the frequency of all neoplasia
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract In 1953, Danely Slaughter proposed the concept of field cancerization, or field effect, to explain the development of additional neoplasia of similar type. A recent theory (de Groen, 2022) states that all DNA is exposed to a constant source of damage, resulting in a constant rate of germline and somatic DNA mutations.

A New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Against Past‐Eternalism
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers a new formulation of the “Hilbert's Hotel Argument” (HHA) which is superior to existing formulations because it (1) demonstrates that HH is logically impossible in the concrete world, (2) takes into account the need to consider the assumptions of HHA, and (3) offers a reply to an important objection concerning the validity of
