      summary - Donna Rose Addis is a pioneer in a field that connects past memories to future imagination - Her research has demonstrated that the same brain region, the Default Mode Network is responsible for simulations of past memories as well as future imagination - It is theorirized that episodic memory is reactivated and reorganized for creating future simulations

    1. Some of the letters are consistently struggling to print properly, like a, w, q, etc. I've cleaned the typebar section multiple times which seemed to help initially but it continues to be an issue, I'm not sure what could cause only certain letters to print incorrectly.

      reply to u/peachaphrodite at https://old.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1nwu77s/sears_scholar_specific_letters_are_faint/

      Issue with light imprints on a, w, q, etc.

      Are you a touch typist or a two finger hunt-and-peck typist?

      Solely based on the letters, I'll guess there's nothing wrong with the machine and that you're a newer touch typist whose two weakest fingers on your non-dominant hand just need some exercise to get a better imprint. I'd guess the same happens to your z and x as well, but you use them less. Practice typing about your "qwaze axes and saws" a few times a day for a week to improve your finger strength and technique.

      If you're a hunt-and-peck person, then your typebars may need some gentle forming/fine adjustment using some specialist tools to give better imprints. Those letters on the ends of the segment more often go out of alignment than others. If this is the case, try: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html

    2. ChatGPT makes writing easier and more of a cleaner look, especially for people who aren’t native English speakers. But it also makes people worry and start thinking to themselves like “Is this really my work?” or “Am I cheating?” It can be helpful, but also very stressful to one.

    1. “Our students are coming into school every day with greater needs in every aspect of their lives, including around their mental health. But the support just isn’t there to help teachers and staff,” said Bissegger.

      I found this very interesting because this is why educators need their admin to support them. If they are expected to juggle all the different parts of teaching then the support has got to be there. In many other articles I have read, I have heard that teachers feel unsupported and it begins to be a lot. It is okay that students come into school every day with greater needs, but if we need to help them, then someone has to help us.

    1. This paper’s authors argue that using GWP to assess the relative planetary warming  caused by various different sectors is therefore a deeply flawed metric. They propose that a better measure for policymakers to adopt would be something  called Effective Radiative Forcing, or ERF.

      summary - This dystopian futures scenario is the brainchild of former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, - It is premised on human behavior in modernity including - confirmation bias of AI researchers - entrenched competing political ideologies that motivate an AI arms race - entrenched capitalist market behavior that motivates an AI arms race - AI becoming embodied, resulting in Artificially Embodied Artificial Intelligence (AEAI), posing the danger to humanity because it's no longer just talk, but action - Can it happen? The probability is not zero.We don't really understand the behavior of the AI LLM's we design, they are nonpredictable, and as we give them even greater power, that is a slippery slope - AI can become humanity's ultimate progress trap, which is ironic, because the technology that promises to be the most efficient of all, can become so efficient, it no longer need human beings - Remember Jerry Kaplan's book "Humans need not apply"? - https://hyp.is/o0lBFH3fEfC1QLfnLSs5Bg/www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiiP5ROnzw8 - This dystopian futures scenario goes further and explores the idea that "humans need not exist"!

    1. The book's title also suggests abolitionist sentiments, given its connection to William Murray, the 1st Earl of Mansfield who served as Lord Chief Justice of England from 1756 to 1788—and was known as Lord Mansfield. In 1772, Mansfield ruled on a court case involving James Somerset, enslaved in colonial Virginia and brought to England by his master. After escaping and being recaptured, Somerset faced sale to a Jamaican plantation. A London abolitionist network intervened, and Mansfield ruled that Somerset—chained on a boat in the Thames—be freed.

Till your eyes are fully dazed

      In The House of Flame, Chaucer complains of "looking at screens all day" as if he were an office worker in 2025.

      "Making all the accounts" here is akin to staring at an accounting spreadsheet all day.

    2. up Isabella d’Este’s portrait, complaining of Leonardo’s ‘haphazard andextremely unpredictable’ routine. This frustrating restlessness was, ofcourse, integral to the obsessive creativity. Pacioli had been able to draw aline under a piece of work and consider it done, but for Leonardo thisrepresented a mental hurdle that he frequently failed to clear. He leftpaintings unfinished for decades – Lisa del Giocondo sat for the Mona Lisawhen she was in her early twenties, and was thirty-nine when Leonardodied, still working on it – and he evidently felt similarly about hismanuscripts and notebooks
    3. In 1540 a Venetianprinter named Domenico Manzoni excerpted them, without attribution(Pacioli himself had acknowledged most, but not all, of his sources) butusefully adding hundreds of worked examples which illustrated Pacioli’spoints. Tellingly, Manzoni retitled the work Quaderno Doppio, ‘the doubleledger’. Selling even better than Maestro Luca’s original, it went throughsix or seven editions and prompted a wave of adaptations and translations.

Today, however, students more often are seen and see themselves as consumers who are buying diplomas in order to signal their employability. In this model, the values that animate higher education are job preparation, skill building, and networking, not intellectual engagement or humanistic fulfillment. The University in Ruins
    1. Opinion: This Is Who’s Really Driving the Decline in Interest in Liberal Arts Education by [[Jennifer Frey]] 2025-07-17 in New York Times

      Frey argues that it's college administrators who are killing off the idea of a liberal arts education. In her experience, students are thrilled to be in these programs and participate in them.


      Me: Some of the pressure, also indicated here, is from toxic capitalism which is pressuring students to be only career-focused in their educational journeys. This pressure leaves much less space for the humanities.

    1. How can you tell when someone has real potential in pure mathematics?

      question by u/OkGreen7335 at https://reddit.com/r/math/comments/1m0qe7f/how_can_you_tell_when_someone_has_real_potential/

      The same way the music teacher in Liverpool who had half of The Beatles in his elementary school music class knew they had music potential—you can't possibly.

      Potential is by definition the unknown part. The rest of it is interest, desire, enthusiasm, and time working at the thing itself over long periods which slowly unleashes that potential. You don't know until you try, so quit worrying about it and enjoy the area, even if it's just as a hobby you do on the side. There are garage bands that hustle on the side, why can't you be a garage mathematician?!?

      Most of the smart, talented university professors in mathematics are there because they had the passion and (often had the luxury to) spend the time. Nurture your own passions and those of your students and encourage them to spend the time.

      How many parents unabashedly encourage their kids to become international superstar musicians? I'll bet The Beatles' parents didn't. I'll also bet that number is close to the numbers of parents who encourage their kids to do the same thing in math.

Theory of Ontological Consciousness Project Description This interdisciplinary essay explores a forgotten hypothesis at the intersection of physics, philosophy, and fiction: that consciousness is not a byproduct of matter, but its ontological foundation. Tracing this idea from Heraclitus and Plato to Schrödinger and Penrose, the article integrates metaphysical traditions with quantum models and critiques of materialist reductionism. It introduces the Theory of Ontological Consciousness (TOC) — a literary-philosophical framework proposing ψ̂–Φ interactions as the generative basis of spacetime and form.
