  "textContent": "Recent additions to the Heap of Links… Fallacies as “memetic mimicry” — Steven Hales borrows from nature to describe fallacies and their significance “How do we balance the creativity needed to discover new mathematical connections with the rigor needed to ensure that every logical step is undeniable?” — debates over formalization and technology in mathematics evoke questions that may apply to philosophy, too “After holding only one virtual conference… the APA decided to pull the plug on the experiment” — Miroslav Imbrišević is critical of the APA’s online conference experiment Boston University removed Pride Flags hanging in offices.

The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thank you.Previous edition.\n\nThe post Mini-Heap first appeared on Daily Nous.",
