Love this new evidence of the cognitive sophistication of cows and hope that it might make a few people rethink whether they want meat on their plates

Thank you! I’m very glad you enjoyed the paper. 🤠
I also push back against a prominent argument for the view that memory and imagination are fundamentally the same kind of thing, and I suggest that the characterization of the episodic memory system need not be aligned with the causal theory of memory.
I argue that memory is different in kind from imagination, and that to genuinely remember an event is to entertain a representation produced by a reliable episodic memory system that prioritizes firsthand information in simulating events from the personal past (hence “discontinuist simulationism”).
My paper, “Memory and imagination: toward discontinuist simulationism”, has been accepted for publication in Philosophical Psychology!

Thanks a lot, Kristina! I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and your participation in the defense. It was a real privilege to have you on the committee!
Obrigado, querida 🙏
I’m glad to share that this Friday I’ll be defending my dissertation at the Centre for Philosophy of Memory in lovely Grenoble.
Looking forward to discussing three years of research on memory (at @ugrenoblealpes.bsky.social and @ruhr-uni-bochum.de) with such a fantastic committee!
My paper 'Memory traces and the (anti)causalist debate' has been published in Philosophical Psychology.
In it, I argue that the debate between causalism and simulationism is a debate about the functional profile of the episodic memory system (1/4)
