I'm excited to join the editorial board of a new diamond open access journal in mathematical logic:

ZML: Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik

zml.international/

The open letter of the editors of ZML can be found online on the webpage.

More on the collective action and an editorial board walk-out that led to the creation of this new journal:
blog.tib.eu/2025/04/07/mlq-wal

Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

See the open letter announcing their resignations and plans for the new journal.

The new journal has a German title but will publish in English, _Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik_.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD), and just added an entry for this one, at the bottom in chronological order.

I also track them — and discussions of them — in the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp).

@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

#Aristotle named five interlinked Noble Sciences which together make up #Philosophy.

- #Metaphysics: the study of existence, the nature of the universe and all its contents

- #Logic: the ways we may know something, the set of permissible conclusions we may draw based on our perceptions, and some sensible rules of deduction and inference

- #Ethics: what we know about man and what we may deduce and infer (through Logic) about acceptable interactions between pairs of individuals

🚀 Ah, #Dijkstra, once again reminding us that computers are just too dumb to understand our witty banter. 🤖💬 Apparently, expecting machines to "think" was just another pipe dream for those who find #programming syntax tedious and reality even more so. #Logic and precision? Who needs 'em when you can just argue with a compiler about semantics? 😂
