Welcome to my email list/newsletter - and thanks for subscribing. My intentions here are to allow subscribers to keep up with new ToKCast episodes, blog posts and articles and perhaps to serve as a place for brief reflections on topics which might not fit in the usual places where I put out content. I won’t promise to adhere to weekly or bi weekly, fortnightly or thrice-monthly or any other fixed frequency of emails - just as with the podcast itself.
All that said: expect emails to contain material about epistemology (and philosophy more broadly) physics (and science more broadly) issues to do with the culture of science and academia as seen from the outside, perhaps some of the worldview expressed in the work of Popper and Deutsch as applied to any “topics of the day” that come across my social media feeds.
My working title for the newsletter is “The 3Rs” - those being the ones I like to explore throughout my work: Realism, Reason and Rationality which together form a personal perspective on the worldview I mentioned and already being expressed at www.bretthall.org and through ToKCast.
Now apparently emails coming from mailing lists can get sent to strange folders by the software that handles your email. In that case:
Gmail users — to prevent this from being sent straight to ‘Promotions’,
Please move this email to the ‘Primary’ tab:
On mobile, hit the 3 dots at the top right corner, click "Move to", then "Primary"
On desktop, click the back arrow, and then drag and drop this email into the "Primary" tab near the top left of your screen
A pop-up should ask to have this arrive there moving forward - please choose yes
Apple mail users — tap on our email address at the top of this email (next to "From:" on mobile) and click “Add to VIPs”
Everyone else — visit this page, search for your email provider, and please follow the instructions.
Cheers,
Brett
