I've written 4000 words on faith in a disenchanted world. On what faith means to me in the impossibility of theism. And where would I go when there is nowhere left to turn. Link ->
"I approve every word that ships / written under my review / directions are mine" is the new "these words were taken out of context".

You can tell Germans still believe they live in a democracy just like their neighbors, because some shops on the main mall street are boarding up the glass vitrines and closing shops down out of fear of smaller heavily policed demonstration half a city away.

Need a bot that would manipulate the algorithm for me on each platform daily and steer all content towards what I actually have genuine interest in.

Absolutely wild opening remarks on an article about Herder at SEP. Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Michael Forster looks at Herder
His writing never worked for me, every sentence dead, every book flat, but the incredible insults with which Nabokov was so generous are the exception and probably his best, most memorable work.

Very notable that the "after analytic philosophy" relies on the existence of an ideal, already carefully arranged ball of wool for its knitting.
There's this and worse (look up wired drones that sit and wait for a passerby) in Rus-Ukr war, statistical targeting in others etc overall feel like anyone who writes about AI theory and praxis without engaging with this material topic now isnt a serious scholar at all.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
It's that time of the year when everyone requests an EULA update approval to consent to data mining huh

Funniest thing today but also the most radicalizing one for me as a migrant. Can only think of life vests stuffed with straw, boats drowned by coast guards and the Somalian woman I met in immigration office waiting room she was told to make an A3 sized color copy of her passport.
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn’t free, and people can be really mean. buff.ly/5cLtnha

With every ultra formal / mathematized or cognitivist / behaviorist theory of wth art is I find, I wonder if anyone at all is aware that we have art history as a subject. Which contradicts many ultra formal theories by being a material account of history of aesthetic judgements.

Can't quite come to terms with academics, scientists, specialists can be opportunistic grifters. Just doesn't fit together in my mind, so strange.

Shower thought: long Deleuzian century begins when applied statistics become robust enough to be tractable akin to a force of nature.
