Nick Byrd, Ph.D.Pills often feature in thought experiments to eliminate the difficulty of one of the response options. Example: It's hard to [X] in reality, but suppose you could [X] by taking a pill. Would you take the pill?I got curious about whether people find it so easy to take pills. Apparently not.In this meta-analysis, <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/medication" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#medication</a> non-adeherence was more than 40%: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-044987" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-044987</a><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/metaphilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#metaphilosophy</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/experimentalPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#experimentalPhilosophy</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#health</a>

Victor GijsbersMy colleague calls me on the phone. They ask whether I know which grade Student X got for their midterm exam. I say: "Yes I do! I'll look it up for you immediately."Did I just contradict myself?<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ExperimentalPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalPhilosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a>

Nick Byrd, Ph.D.Another study finds honesty is more than just truthfulness.Makes sense: you can mislead or even conceal with only true information (e.g., if you do not include *all* the true information).The final study of this paper confirms: the “communicative elements of honesty [include not just] truthful speech [but] not concealing or misrepresenting”.<a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/01461672231195355" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://doi.org/10.1177/01461672231195355</a><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ethics</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#psychology</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/xPhi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#xPhi</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/experimentalPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#experimentalPhilosophy</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#law</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/xJur" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#xJur</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/experimentalJurisprudence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#experimentalJurisprudence</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/moralPsych" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#moralPsych</a>

I agree that the debate needs parties to agree on a smallest effect size of interest.Page images attached.
