Suppose the necessity of possibilities transcends the actuality of laws. If the
transcendental presupposes such knowledge is beyond the laws of being, is the supposition free from the presupposition? #Truth #Values #Modality #Suppose #Presuppositions #laws #transcendentalthinking

It might not be much to be joyful for, but the evil oligarchs and their criminal clowns cannot eliminate the possibility of an ethically sustainable morality. Neither in this galaxy or the cosmos, can they eliminate the possibility that they will experience the hell they create in this life or the next. #DivineJustice #Life #Death #Rebirth #RealPossibilities #Modality #CapitalInjustice #HumanJustice #Choices #CapitalJustice #Depression #JudgementDay #Joy #MentalHealth #EthicallySustainableMorality
My North American tour is just about over, and it’s gone better than I could have hoped, with excellent discussions with colleagues at Chapman, UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Calgary, and really helpful questions and feedback at each of my talks.
My last talk of this trip will be this afternoon, at the CUNY Graduate Center, for the Logic and Metaphysics Workshop.

Inspiring presentations by Lauri Palsa, Karoliina Snell and Janne Fagerlund during the panel "Connecting the dots towards possible futures: Exploring levels of data literacy" at the Imaging Possible Futures conference at the University of Jyväskylä. Happy to join the panel with the #CriticalDataLit project and discuss on data literacy from various perspectives. Big thanks to Lauri Palsa and the team behind the #Modality research project for making this happen!

Received a grammar question about requests like "May you update the team?" ("may" instead of "would" or "can"). Has anybody heard of this phenomenon? #Linguistics #modality
Detecting incidental correlation in multimodal learning via latent variable modeling

This afternoon I had the pleasure of sneaking in to a session of Scottish Programming Languages and Verification Summer School, organised by @edwinb and colleagues in Computer Science at St Andrews.
@dorchard gave a neat talk on graded modalities. It’s neat to see substructural logics applied in the wild, and there was some logical insight, too, on the different behaviour of box-type and diamond-type modalities in a constructive setting.

Speakers aren't blank slates (with respect to sign-language phonology)!
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027722003365
Asks the straightforward (but overlooked) question:
"Is phonological knowledge, in fact, fully modality-specific?"
➡️ Not just whether spoken & sign languages share formal structures
➡️ Nor if speakers & signers rely on common brain regions
But (to be concrete) can an English speaker extract some of the phonological structure of ASL signs?
