Lessons from the void: What Boltzmann brains teach
Abstract Some physical theories predict that almost all brains in the universe are Boltzmann brains, that is, short‐lived disembodied brains that are accidentally assembled as a result of thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. Physicists and philosophers of physics widely regard this proliferation as unacceptable, and so take its prediction as a basis ...

ABSTRACT When we see a movie or a play, do we see the fictional entities and events depicted? On the one hand, it seems incredibly natural to think we do. For instance, it seems obvious that one thing that differentiates Smith, who watches Star Wars, from Bob, who merely reads the novelization of Star Wars, is that Smith, but not Bob, has seen Darth ...

Choosing the right crowdsourcing strategy: Implications for governments' crowdsourcing initiatives
Abstract Building on recent advances in crowdsourcing research, we argue that, when using crowdsourcing, governments should accurately select the crowd they wish to engage with, depending on the problem to be solved. While targeting a large crowd may be common, it is not always the most appropriate: it can waste significant resources without ...
