I wrote a review of @De_dicto's seminal book on the perception/cognition border for Mind. Tl;dr: you should read the book. But also consider reading the review. Hard to imagine I'll ever have a harder or more meaningful review to write philpapers.org/rec/MANTBB

Advice to (junior) academics: please keep some web presence updated (website, Google Scholar, etc.). At several points throughout the year, there are opportunities to nominate you for things, and it is helpful in those nomination processes to be able to point to evidence of your awesomeness.

So happy to have been included in the scam! (I got the email on 5/6 though.)

At least two professorial colleagues at different universities in totally different areas of research got an identical message to this today, with only changes to name, country, and paper title. NYU is a constant, but from Gmail addresses. Who else? Anyone write back? Curious what the scam is!
