I have just re-read this after too many decades. Treat yourself if you have any interest in maths, physics, beauty, philosophy, or writing. It contains no equations, though it does discuss a small number.

Hi there! I'm Haru (or Ery), an adult, asian, disabled (hoh), audhd, st4t snow leopard (Panthera uncia). I study #philosophy and #mathematics :D

My academic interests are: #philosophyoflanguge, #logic (philosophical and mathematical), #epistemology, #metaphysics (logical, of objects), #philosophyofmind (of conception), and #philosophyofmath

My research topics are: Stalnaker-Lewis presuppositions, theories of meaning, type theoretic semantics, (dynamic) epistemic logics, non-classical logics (minimal semantics, non-normal, intuitionistic), Dummettian semantics, indeterminacy of translation, radical interpretation, and proof complexity.

I'm also interested in: model category theory, categorical logic, topos theory, provability logics, model theory, hermeneutics, biblical translation, and theology.

Other facets of autism I indulge in: rhythm games, Magic: the Gathering, music, Minecraft, conlanging, writing, #language learning, bird-watching, and drawing.

Wer meint, immun gegen Manipulation zu sein, irrt.

Ich bin immun und irre.

Yay for the editors of Journal of Philosophical Logic for collectively quitting Springer & starting something better!

And yay for @openlibhums for funding this new-but-venerable diamond #openaccess journal.

"All of the editors-in-chief and associate editors of Springer Nature’s Journal of Philosophical Logic have announced their immediate or pending resignation and the launch, as of today, of a new “diamond” open access journal, Philosophical Logic."
