It’s already been a week since the project hosted a fantastic two-day conference on Radical Scepticism, Intellectual Courage, and Conspiracy Theory @SotonPhilosophy! Here are some snapshots:

I just lost my cricket ground (and perhaps club) because of @HSBC_UK selling their land.
New Beckenham had five senior teams, but more importantly a huge vibrant growing junior section for cricket. Now it’s homeless so Crystal Palace can own even more of the local area for professional footballers to train
London has always been one of the homes of cricket. But too often teams play on terrible facilities because the good ones are disappearing.
The New Beckenham pitch was a high quality square, the club might find other facilities. But it won’t be of this quality. And that’s if they find somewhere.
It feels every year there is less space for cricket in London. Not sure the Hundred is going to fix that. Professional cricket is great, but cricket needs everyone.
Looking forward to speaking at this conference next week @SotonPhilosophy!
The project is hosting an exciting two-day conference next week on radical scepticism, intellectual courage, and conspiracy theories! The programme is below.

New paper by @Tays95 : “Knowing How to be Vicious.”
It argues that understanding epistemic vice requires taking knowledge-how seriously—including how we can learn to be epistemically vicious.

Happy to see that my article "Knowing How to be Vicious" is now available online @APA_Journal: doi.org/10.1017/apa.2026.100…

@SotonPhilosophy @HumanitiesUoS @unisouthampton
Should we take virtuous acts, instead of traits, as evaluatively and conceptually primary? I address this question here: wp.me/p1Bfg0-act
This paper is a response to Nastasia Müller's insightful paper: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

I wrote about whether scepticism is allied with political conservatism for my Substack. This is partly a response to a recent book (Jonathan Ichikawa's Epistemic Courage) and partly my own thoughts as someone who likes scepticism but is not a conservative. Link below.
