⭐ Develops and defends a rationality-based objection to some types of crime preventive nudges. Specifically, I argue that influences of this kind that subverts procedural rationality are presumptively wrong to employ and give several examples of when and how this may happen.

🛑 Suggests that autonomy-based concerns of various kinds which have been raised against the used of (arational) nudges in other context, seem to have little bite against nudge-like techniques for crime prevention.

👎 Argues that concerns based on the potential adverse effects that such arational influences can have on its targets capacity for self-control has little bite against a suggestion of using arational influences like (some) nudges to prevent crime.

📚 Offers a brief survey of some of the nudge-like techniques that are currently used - or which have been suggested as potential tools - to prevent crime

When nudge techniques have been employed to further public policy aims such as improving public health, they (rightly) attract considerable ethical scrutiny. That is why it is puzzling that so very little has been said about the ethics of using nudge-like techniques to prevent crime. The paper:

🚨New paper on the ethics of using nudges as crime preventive tools!🚨

Unfortunately not. But parts of the paper overlap with this one we did in JME: drive.google.com/file/d/1E52j...

The paper is in danish, but some of what we argue overlap with this paper we did for JME: jme.bmj.com/content/49/7...

Should certain female DSD-athletes be banned from competing with other women?

Thomas Soebirk Petersen and I have a paper in the Danish Medical Journal discussing this question. In short: No, they should not.

The special issue is comprised of 12 articles in total, which will all be made available open access in March 2025. You can read the (English) abstracts via the following link.

Recently (re)read the 1Q84 trilogy by Murakami - they are excellent.

I know little about the specific debate or the data on why people report the views on AD that they do. But in theory it could be both if respect for autonomy and harm prevention are seen as mid-level principles. Just another way to undergird your point of there not being issues of consistency here.

I often think about the fact that John Locke ended his recipe for pancakes proclaiming: “This is the right way.”.

I wish I was as confident as Locke about anything in my life!

”Der er intet tabt himmerige i en forsvundet urtid og intet evigt samfundssystem, men i stedet en faktisk, omskiftelig materiel virkelighed, vi igangsætter, opretholder og udskifter i alt, vi foretager os, og som vi selv igangsættes, opretholdes og udskiftes af."

During paternity leave with our youngest, I want to read up on a topic that I don’t usually work on when she naps: the ethics of extreme wealth. So far I have enjoyed the first 50 p. of Malleson’s “Against Inequality”.
Robeyn’s “Limitarianism” is next.

Other suggestions?
