‘The Peak of Stupidity and ‘The Valley of Despair: HSE Economists Propose an Explanation for the Dunning–Kruger Effect
The Dunning–Kruger effect, which describes a sharp surge in self-confidence among beginners followed by an equally rapid decline as they gain experience, can be explained by the nature of the learning process and the acquisition of new knowledge. This conclusion was reached by Andrey Vorchik of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences together with independent researcher Murat Mamyshev. They developed a mathematical model of learning and demonstrated how subjective confidence is formed and changes as knowledge accumulates, as well as how teachers can reduce the ‘valley of despair’ experienced by learners.

THE “FALLING ELEVATOR” AND RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD

EUROPEAN JOURNAL FOR PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION. 2021. Vol. 13. No. 1. P. 83–102.
Gasparov I.

In the paper I argue that the falling elevator model once proposed by Dean Zimmerman to improve some drawbacks of Peter van Inwagen’s account of how a belief in Christian resurrection could be made compatible with a materialist understanding of human persons is not satisfactory. Christian resurrection requires not only survival, but also true death of a person, while the falling elevator can merely provide us with an account of how a material person is able miraculously to escape her own death.

Post-Symbolic Coloniality: The Metasimulacrum of Otherness in Digital Culture
Aliev R. T., Galactica Media: Journal of Media Studies 2025 Vol. 7 No. 2 P. 166– 186
This article develops the concept of the metasimulacrum of otherness to analyze the structural transformations of difference in digital culture. Unlike traditional representations of otherness, the metasimulacrum reorganizes the very conditions of perception, producing otherness as a managed, aestheticized, and commodified flow. Digital platforms no longer marginalize or suppress difference; they integrate it into the ...

Cognitive Distortions Are Not Logical Errors: A Conceptual Clarification
Denisova V., Petrović N., Journal of Rational - Emotive and Cognitive - Behavior Therapy 2026 Vol. 44 No. 35 Article 35
Cognitive distortions are routinely described in cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and rational-emotive behavior (REBT) therapies as “errors in logic” or “illogical thinking.” While this terminology is pedagogically convenient, it often obscures a crucial conceptual distinction between violations of logical inference and problems related to the justification, scope, or evaluative force of belief content. In this paper, we do not ...
