Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

An All-sky 3D Dust Map Based on Gaia and LAMOST
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesWe present a comprehensive 3D dust-reddening map covering the entire Milky Way, constructed by combining reddening estimates based on Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) low-resolution spectra ( E ( B − V ) _LAMOST ) with ...

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1093-1125, December 2025.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

Interstellar extinction in the ultraviolet [PDF]
, 1972 Interstellar extinction curves over the region 3600-1100 A for 17 stars are presented. The observations were made by the two Wisconsin spectrometers onboard the OAO-2 with spectral resolutions of 10 A and 20 A.

Probing the Distinct Extinction Law of the Pillars of Creation in M16 with JWST
The Astrophysical Journal LettersInvestigating the extinction law in regions of high dust extinction, such as the Pillars of Creation within the M16 region, is crucial for understanding the densest parts of the interstellar medium (ISM).

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism
Ratio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

The Optical Extinction Law Depends on Magnetic Field Orientation: The RV–ψ Relation
The Astrophysical JournalFor aspherical interstellar dust grains aligned with their short axes preferentially parallel to the local magnetic field, the amount of extinction per grain is larger when the magnetic field is along the line of sight and smaller when in the plane of ...

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$
