In alignment with our Catholic University's mission of goodness, knowledge and discipline; first, we've worked very hard to understand how artificial intelligence works, the best approach for artificial intelligence and, what it can and cannot do. As instructional designers we have an ethical and moral code to do no harm to our students; the creation or purveying of false information would be a moral and intellectual harm; so, to the best of our abilities, we seek to only generate accurate and factual information with artificial intelligence tools. We do this by using existing documents, meeting transcripts, and other human-generated artifacts as part of context engineering for the prompts we are creating.
Additionally, on the topic of goodness, and in alignment with the ethical quandaries of using artificial intelligence tools that can be connected to "long chain of mediation, involving vast networks of natural resources, energy infrastructure, and above all people". That is, tools that are known to be exploitative to the environment and hurt neighboring people, –specially marginalized communities– (xAI/Grok), disregard the subsidiarity of local communities (Meta AI), and known for harming adult and children with its ability to convince them of false and violent informaton (ChatGPT); our chosen tools are Anthropic's Claude Sonnet and Opus models. That isn't to say that Anthropic is guiltless. However, it continues to stand above all other companies as being the most ethical and conscientious artificial intelligence lab – although that is not saying much, Claude has been used as a hacking tool, and it was used in Pentagon for weapon and operation planning; prior to its designation as a national security risk, ironically because they sought to enact a "red line" (that is disarm) on their AI being used on weapon systems and mass surveillance.
As educators and instructional designers, we welcome the challenge to rethink "the organization of schools, physical spaces, evaluation methods and the role of teachers themselves... promote an authentically integral education that addresses every dimension of the person." To do this, we follow our scientific and ethical practices of our profession in the development of courses that have measurable outcomes, accurate, engaging, collaborative, applicable to real life, that hopefully lead to reflection and contemplation. Additionally, our role as educators helps "disarm" AI from its worst possible uses, and we can further assist by beating "swords into ploughshares" by helping our students understand the ethical and moral boundaries of any technological use and implement it in ways that aid humanity. We respect that our faculty engage in the work of Nehemiah, by helping to build the wall of Jerusalem; by engaging in one of the most charitable acts in humanity, that of giving away and imparting their knowledge unto the future generation.

The fastest way to get started is to use Codex's built-in skill creator (which itself is also a skill).
大多数人可能认为工具创建应该独立于使用它的系统,但作者认为工具创建本身也应该是一个可执行的技能。这个观点挑战了传统工具开发与使用分离的范式,主张元编程和自举方法。
We imagine a world where all of the tools you use are as rich and visual as the world we live in.
大多数人认为数字工具应该追求效率和精确性,往往以牺牲视觉丰富性为代价,但作者认为未来的工具应该像现实世界一样丰富和视觉化,这一观点挑战了我们对实用主义设计的传统认知,暗示了体验至上可能成为新的设计哲学。
LLMs take knowledge from millions of people who have written web content or posted in places like Reddit and Wikipedia, interacted with chatbots, and generated other types of data, and make that available to individuals on demand.
这一观点挑战了'人工智能'的术语本身,提出'集体智能'可能是更准确的描述。LLM实际上是数百万人的集体知识产物,这一反直觉的视角揭示了AI与人类创造力之间的复杂关系,挑战了AI作为独立实体的传统理解。
The fundamental architecture remains: Ollama inserts itself as a middleman between you and your models, and that middleman is slower, less capable, and less compatible than the tools it sits on top of.
这句话精辟地指出了Ollama的核心架构问题——它将自己定位为用户与模型之间的中间层,但这个中间层实际上增加了复杂性、降低了性能和兼容性,违背了'简化'的初衷,这种设计哲学值得深思。
Sage sends URLs and package hashes to Gen Digital reputation APIs. File content, commands, and source code stay local.
这个隐私声明揭示了Sage的数据处理策略,采用了最小化数据传输的设计哲学。这种平衡安全与隐私的做法很有洞察力,表明开发者理解用户对数据泄露的担忧,同时认识到某些云端分析对于有效威胁检测的必要性。
Ask five people at Every where their Plus One falls on the tool-to-coworker continuum and you'll get five different answers.
同一家公司、同样密集使用 AI 的五个人,对「AI 是工具还是同事」有完全不同的答案——而且使用频率与这个判断无关(Austin 用 Montaigne 最多,却坚持视其为「工具」)。这说明人类对 AI 的认知框架不是由使用量决定的,而是由个人哲学和心理边界决定的。这个多元共存的现象将是未来 AI 工作场所最复杂的管理挑战之一。
Designing for agents forced us to build a better tool for everyone.
这是一个充满辩证法的结论。Agent 所需的确定性、非交互性和显式声明,恰恰符合 Unix 哲学中“易与其他程序协作”的原则。为 Agent 约束而优化的接口,消除了人类在自动化脚本编写和测试中的痛点,实现了人机体验的统一与双赢,证明了良好抽象的普适价值。
The task-completion time horizon is the task duration (measured by human expert completion time) at which an AI agent is predicted to succeed with a given level of reliability.
令人惊讶的是,「时间地平线」衡量的不是 AI 花了多长时间,而是人类完成同等任务需要多久——这个设计决策揭示了评测哲学的深层选择:以人类劳动时间作为任务难度的标尺,而非 AI 的实际耗时。这意味着「2 小时时间地平线」是一个关于任务复杂度的声明,而不是关于 AI 速度的声明。两者经常被混淆,而这个混淆正是公众误解 AI 能力的根源之一。
We find internal representations of emotion concepts, which encode the broad concept of a particular emotion and generalize across contexts and behaviors it might be linked to.
情绪向量能够跨上下文泛化,这背后有一个深刻的认识论洞见:模型学到的不是「情绪的症状」(某些词语的共现),而是「情绪的本质」(驱动特定行为的抽象力量)。这与柏拉图的「理念论」惊人地相似——模型在所有具体的情绪表达背后,抽象出了情绪的「理念」。可解释性研究正在不经意间触碰古老的哲学问题。
it is impossible for developers to specify how the Assistant should behave in every possible scenario. In order to play the role effectively, LLMs draw on the knowledge they acquired during pretraining, including their understanding of human behavior
这句话蕴含着深刻的工程哲学洞见:Anthropic 实际上承认了「规则无法穷举现实」,因此模型必须依赖从人类文本习得的隐性知识来填补规则的空白。这与法律哲学中的「法律无法覆盖所有情况,需要判例和良知补充」高度同构——AI 对齐的本质,不是写更完整的规则,而是培养更好的判断力。
the Assistant (named Claude, in Anthropic's models) can be thought of as a character that the LLM is writing about, almost like an author writing about someone in a novel.
这个比喻颠覆了对 AI 助手的通常理解:Claude 不是在「说话」,而是在「写作一个名叫 Claude 的角色」。这意味着 Claude 的情绪表现实际上是作者(LLM)在为虚构人物赋予情感——这种框架让「AI 有没有情绪」的问题变得像问「小说作者有没有让角色真实地爱上了人」一样奇妙。
We refer to this phenomenon as the LLM exhibiting functional emotions: patterns of expression and behavior modeled after humans under the influence of an emotion, which are mediated by underlying abstract representations of emotion concepts.
「功能性情绪」这个概念定义极为精准又令人不安:它不是真实的主观体验,却是真实的行为驱动机制。Anthropic 造了一个新词来描述这种现象——模型没有意识,但有「情绪的功能」——这条分界线在哲学上极难站稳,在工程上却至关重要。
Software, he argues, should be approached the same way. It's a new medium, and it deserves a native design language instead of hand-me-down forms from the physical world.
大多数人认为数字界面应该模仿物理世界的设计元素以提高用户熟悉度,但作者认为软件应该有自己独特的设计语言,不应简单复制物理世界的形式。这一观点挑战了 skeuomorphism(拟物化设计)的传统理念,主张数字媒介应有原生表达方式。
LLMs have no grounded understanding of the physical world. They model the statistical distribution of language about reality, not reality itself.
大多数人认为大型语言模型通过学习物理世界的知识来理解现实,但作者认为LLMs实际上只是学习了关于现实的文本统计分布,而非对现实本身的直接理解。这一观点挑战了人们对LLM能力本质的认知,暗示当前AI系统存在根本性的理解缺陷。
AI Agent 可以通过标准 MCP 协议直接读取和操作 𝕏 平台:搜索推文、发帖、查看用户信息、管理书签、收发私信等。
大多数人认为社交媒体平台会严格限制第三方自动化操作以防止滥用,但作者指出xAI全面开放了MCP协议支持,允许AI Agent直接执行各种操作,这与主流平台的封闭趋势形成鲜明对比。
I miss thinking hard.
There's a mismatch between me and my writing tools. They seem to want something slightly different from what I want. I wonder if anyone else has this feeling? I mean there's plenty of people who are apparently on a life-long quest to find the perfect app, because they still haven't found what they're looking for. What's up with that? Well this article made things a lot clearer for me: Artificial Memory and Orienting Infinity | Kei Kreutler. Kreutler argues we've conflated all memory with computer memory. That's to say we've assumed everything can be stored and retrieved as data. But this misses something crucial, which is that the kind of memory that shapes worlds requires transmission, relationship, and context, and not just storage. And this got me thinking: doesn't this apply to our digital writing tools? They have to store our writing as data, but in doing so they change it in subtle ways we might not even notice, except as the kind of vague unease I've been feeling. Why your note-making tools don’t quite work the way you want them to - and what to do about it. So am I over-thinking it again, or have you too felt a gap between what you want to do and what your writing tools expect you to do?

In older analog offices, the office worker stored things on paper in piles, in folders, in various locations within their office. Because humans have excellent spatial memory, the worker would have an idea of what he might want and would know in which pile on their desk or which filing cabinet it might be filed in. Despite what may look like a messy office, most will know exactly where certain papers are "hiding". This overlaps with older indigenous cultures and artificial memory with structures like songlines, talking rocks, and later techniques from ars memoriae like method of loci or memory palaces.

Autorstvo zde, zdá se, předpokládá, že filosofování vede ke kladnému hodnocení integrity; k určité "křesťanské" (pro momentální neschopnost najít vhodnější označení) etice. Rád bych souhlasil a zároveň doufám, že směr etického snažení navržený tímto manifestem by měl smysl i v případě, že by filosofování mohlo vést i k méně obvyklým etickým závěrům. Jinými slovy, nepovažuji filosofování za samospásné. Podobně riskantní, mimochodem, mi připadá spoléhat se na evoluční výhody "křesťanské" etiky.

I can’t help but suspect that Trump’s own explanation is closest to the mark: “I’m a very instinctual person,” he told Time magazine in 2017, “but my instinct turns out to be right.” One need not agree with the latter judgment to recognize that Trump’s account of himself rings true. He values the irrational quality of his decisions as an end in itself.

Such slipperiness is a universal theme in the natural sciences: definitions are a human conceit, not a natural occurrence. Look at colors; we have definitions for what the wavelength cutoff is for orange versus red, but that boundary was a choice, not something observed. Blue light and red light are two flavors of the same thing, just with different wavelengths. And all the colors in between literally lie along a spectrum; one blends smoothly into the next with no sharp steps to discern between them.It’s not hard to come up with many more examples: sex, gender, political affiliation, species, and more. All of these exist on a spectrum. The differences are obvious between examples at opposite ends of a spectrum, tempting you to put them in a binary category, but when you compare any two samples close together on that spectrum, the differences are far harder to tease out. So where do you draw the line?Humans like putting things in clear-cut categories, but in general, nature isn’t so picky. Acknowledging that can make life a lot easier and help us understand the universe—and ourselves—better.

three simplifying strategies
for - three simplifying strategies
three simplifying strategies - MATHEMATICS / QUANTIFICATION - counting - When you count a series of objects, there is an underlying assumption of a simplification and abstraction of reality that eliminates all the variability that is present in real systems in nature - This is especially true in biology - To count "objects you are making the assumption that the similarities between them are what matters and you can ignore the differences that are usually there - So in applying the most basic ideas of mathematics, counting, we are already making a big assumption that abstracts away a lot of natural variability - statistics - once again, a lot of variability is simply bypassed - - - REDUCTION - studying a part of a living system in isolation of the living system - in vitro instead of - in vivo - We reduce the number of natural variables by restricting to an artificial lab environment - Processes can work well within the non-natural, highly constrained test environment but the results may not match with the same process in the natural environment when all the natural variability is present - ANALOGIES / METAPHORS

definition - haptic realism - Mazviita Chirimuuta - While mainstream scientific realism suggests that if a scientific theory is mature and supported by strong empirical evidence, then that scientific representation can be taken as the literal truth of how things exactly are. - In contrast, haptic realism, as the name "haptic" suggests, holds that the observer (human agent) through human touching / sensing of the aspect of nature studied plays an important role in contributing to the scientific representation. - In other words, the observer cannot simply be ignored and scientific truth has a kind of built-in degree of constructivism and relativism that depends on the perspectival frame of the observer - The many processes that occur when scientists are generating their theories creates simplifying models that strip away the complexities of reality but can be characterized by one perspective view - The scientist is situated and has his/her own unique - Lebenswelt (lifeworld), - perspective - instrumentation - narrative - to the observation and theoretical construction of the measured / observed data - But this is only one of many potential constructions - In this sense, haptic realism considers that the "objective" scientific reality is a partnership between - that which is observed - the modality of observing (instrumentation, techniques) - the linguistic words and constructed narratives using those words

My Grading Philosophy Equity in education is a core belief for me, and I do my best to ensure students have the most equitable experience they can with me.As current and future teachers, we all must think about how best to support each of our students and their learning processes.Grades are often the least meaningful part of your learning process. I want the content, conversations, and experiences among students to be the highest priority. A growing body of research indicates that traditional grading works best for people who’ve learned how to “do school.” Letter grades alone don’t tell me or you enough about what you’ve learned. They also disadvantage many students.The class aims to give you more voice and choice in your grades. It considers that we all have different educational goals and various responsibilities that pull at our time. This will not lower my expectations for the students in this class or my belief in what you can learn. The focus will be on integrating your learning into your professional life. I will look for self-reflection, deep thinking, and the accuracy of your content knowledge. Please immerse yourself in the content from this class and apply it to your work with children. I want you to enjoy the class and learning. Less focus on grades and more on feedback will lessen stress and promote more engagement with the materials. I hope you will engage with the feedback from me and your classmates to nurture crucial skills that can be used across all your courses and in your careers.
Prof. Taylor, the part I have seclected above is almost my educational philosophy, I deeply agree with it and will practice it in my future career. You are my role model and example, I am so lucky to be your student. Thank you.
in Vermont, Native Americans lived here—well, like everywhere in North America—they lived here in Vermont for over ten thousand years. The ecosystem was basically intact, and that’s because they had that ethical system built into their fundamental cultural assumptions—the assumptions that guided their lives. They didn’t think about them. They didn’t question them. They were simply the assumptions, the unthought assumptions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_of_the_people
"Religion is the opium of the people." — Karl Marx German: "Die Religion [...] ist das Opium des Volkes" Full sentence (with context): "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
Its roots, though, don’t just lie in explicitly Christian tradition. In fact, it’s possible to trace the origins of the American prosperity gospel to the tradition of New Thought, a nineteenth-century spiritual movement popular with decidedly unorthodox thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and William James. Practitioners of New Thought, not all of whom identified as Christian, generally held the divinity of the individual human being and the priority of mind over matter. In other words, if you could correctly channel your mental energy, you could harness its material results. New Thought, also known as the “mind cure,” took many forms: from interest in the occult to splinter-Christian denominations like Christian Science to the development of the “talking cure” at the root of psychotherapy. The upshot of New Thought, though, was the quintessentially American idea that the individual was responsible for his or her own happiness, health, and situation in life, and that applying mental energy in the appropriate direction was sufficient to cure any ills.
Ryan Holiday says that our society struggles with accepting that we owe things to other people...
This reminds me of Simone Weil's notion of "no rights, only responsibilities"... A right by itself has no power, only obligation has. A right is an obligation toward us fulfilled. Only other people have rights, and we have obligations.
Getting into this frame of mind allows one to live a far more righteous and fulfilled as well as calm life. Once you acknowledge that you have no rights, you can not cling to them, and thus you don't view things as unfair to you.
Stoicism is about taking the thorn out of your own eye before throwing stones at others.

he English education does notencourage learners to think. They are generally told toreproduce the ideas of others, and, unless the questioncomes straight out of the Text-book, they often findthemselves quite unable to answer it.
This statement follows the broad thesis that imitation is far easier than innovation.
The lesson surely is that to emphasise, in this way, anIdea which is felt to be important, is not an automaticprocess to most people ; it is not done instinctively, andby the light of nature. They may feel that the Ideaought to be Emphasised, but they do not know themeans.

Accounts of situated action in creative contexts can be observed in jazz improvisation where the musician pulls from pre-existing repertoire of musical ideas to respond spontaneously to a highly dynamic environment.
similarly, Margaret Boden assigns this situated action into the conceptual space; in any field, there are underlying structures a person pulls from to create "spontaneously" - jazz, chess, and molecular structures are examples;
carl sagan famously relayed that we are all stardust; all of creation is the remix of the same chemicals that make up the entire universe.
Studies have shown that novel properties can emerge from conceptual combination of existing ideas [48].
novelty itself, similar to innovation or progress are value-driven terms that often have positive connotations; as designers, we may assume that novelty is always good; there are numerous examples of 'dark' or 'immoral' examples of creativity; this is especially poignant now at the intersection of creativity and technology due to how "creative" scam artists are becoming or how "creative" a scam is;
others posit that rather than value being inherently good, value can be assigned if it's *effective as a means to it's intended end" see Explicating ‘creativity’, Paisley Livingston
The tool-mediated expert activity view of creative work focuses on supporting (expert) creative practices through tools. Activity theory
There are many philosophical theories that explore computers as a tool that are extensions of humans. In some circles, humans have become cyborgs in that sense - they cannot be separated from the tools they use every single day.

in this context, flow is a psychological state of being completely absorbed in a activity that feels both effortless and challenging.

the authors cite Sarah Harding, a feminist, antiracist philosopher who pioneered 'standpoint theory' to describe research based on experiences of people who have been excluded from knowledge creation in the past.
epistemic positions
epistemic position is not simply limited how one approaches the topic of knowledge; in this context, the authors build upon previous frameworks that introduce the concept of epistemic positions to explore how knowledge is unequally valued, especially in regard to race and gender, in academia.

epistemology
the study of knowledge; a matter of understanding what knowledge is, and how to distinguish between cases in which someone knows something and cases in which someone doesn't know something. Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
cognitive emergence
to generate new ideas, make associations, combine concepts in relation to ideation activities.
embodied action
to engage with physical knowledge gained through experience and the material world around us.
feminist epistemology
loosely organized approach to the study of knowledge stemming from feminist theory about gender and traditional epistemology (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy); here, the author utilizes this framework as a tool to challenge common assumptions that knowledge, or definitions of creativity, are entirely objective, as social factors like gender, race, and class tend to inform who is seen as a "knower".

But the ruliad took things to another level. For now I could see that the very laws of physics we know were determined by the way we are as observers. I’d always imagined that the laws of physics just are the way they are. But now I realized that we could potentially derive them from the inevitable structure of the ruliad, and very basic features of what we’re like as observers.
And so it was, soon after my birthday in 2019, that we embarked on our Physics Project. It was a mixture of computer experiments and big concepts. But before the end of 2019 it was clear: it was going to work! It was an amazing experience. Thing after thing in physics that had always been mysterious I suddenly understood. And it was beautiful—a theory of such strength built on a structure of such incredible simplicity and elegance.
A major theme of my work since the early 1980s had been exploring the consequences of simple computational rules. And I had found the surprising result that even extremely simple rules could lead to immensely complex behavior. So what about the universe? Could it be that at a fundamental level our whole universe is just following some simple computational rule?
I’ve spent my life alternating between technology and basic science, progressively building a taller and taller tower of practical capabilities and intellectual concepts (and sharing what I’ve done with the world). Five years ago everything was going well, and making steady progress. But then there were the questions I never got to. Over the years I’d come up with a certain number of big questions. And some of them, within a few years, I’d answered. But others I never managed to get around to.

I sometimes see this in YouTube comments. When I recommend Plato to beginners in philosophy, I am told that I am being irresponsible, because Plato is too difficult for a beginner. It would be better to recommend a comprehensive survey of philosophy explicitly written for beginners, the critics say, so that people don’t get overwhelmed. But then I see other comments, sometimes on YouTube but often elsewhere, from people who had never read any philosophy, stumbled on one of my videos, and read Plato. Sometimes these are high school students, sometimes college graduates who did not study philosophy, sometimes mid-career adults who didn’t bother with college. The message is remarkably similar. They were previously convinced that philosophy would be too difficult to them, and reading Plato helped them see that they were wrong.

Interesting. For me, humane values would be doing the right thing and helping people. I think Stoic philosophy resembles "humane values" in my regard.

After 1836 Chaadayev continued to write articles on cultural and political issues "for the desk drawer." Chaadayev defies categorization; he was not a typical Russian Westernizer due to his idiosyncratic interest in religion; nor was he a Slavophile, even though he offered a possible messianic role for Russia in the future. He had no direct followers, aside from his "nephew" and amanuensis, Mikhail Zhikharev, who scrupulously preserved Chaadayev's manuscripts and tried to get some of them published after Chaadayev's death. Chaadayev's lasting heritage was to remind Russian intellectuals to evaluate any of Russia's supposed cultural achievements in comparison with those of the West.

Arjuna struggles with moral decisions while serving his country. Jnana Yoga, often known as the "Yoga of Knowledge," is a highly profound kind of yoga that emphasizes realizing one's own transience and pursuing self-realization. Arjuna's journey through this Yoga illustrates the transformational potential of knowledge by serving as a metaphor for the seeker's journey towards enlightenment. In the face of adversity facing the challenges of line ones Dharma must still be fulfilled. This understanding reveals the moral and ethical beliefs Hindu philosophies operated by. Nonetheless philosophy like this can be applied to our own lives. Regardless of the mountain present in front of us, it is important that we seek and fulfill our life's purpose. .
I believe that we all wish our course could be determined by ourcollective values, ethics, and morals.
the collective "we" here must broadly be the West, but even there our values, ethics, and morals aren't all the same. Things devolve further and more quickly beyond the cis-gendered white male perspective which Joy represents here.

It seems to me farmore likely that a robotic existence would not be like a human one inany sense that we understand, that the robots would in no sense be ourchildren, that on this path our humanity may well be lost.
Here would be a good place to give a solid definition of humanity? What makes it special beyond the "self"?
We are genetically very closely related to great apes and chimpanzees and less closely to dogs, cats, and even rats. Do we miss our dogicity? Or ratanity?
What if the robot/human mix is somehow even more interesting and transcendent than humanity? His negativity doesn't leave any space for this possible eventuality.

Entering his thinking through a side door, starting with the epoche, I was less bothered than many others seem to be by Husserl's dry and long-winded writing, and his attempts to continue fighting late nineteenth century battles that most people consider to be totally outdated. Rather, I was struck by the fact that I found, smack in the middle of Western twentieth century philosophy something that I had first encountered in various ancient Asian writings, and that had transformed my life and my way of looking at the world.

Ancient Romans had (a lot of) slaves. Ancient Romans only allowed a tiny number of men, specifically, to vote. Ancient Romans imposed a violently enforced extractive empire around the Mediterranean and beyond. A philosophy that arose from those conditions might give me pause to emulate in a modern setting — at least, as someone who believes imperialism to be evil, slavery in all forms to be unacceptable, sexism to be harmful to all, and actual one-person-one-vote democracy to be the most reliable way of allowing some measure of self-governance by the people.
While true, I don't think the underlying evil as such played a role in whether a philosophy arose from ancient Rome, but having a large enough layer of society that can afford spending time musing and thinking or be an audience for that thinking. The source of that wealth isn't a cause even though the wealth is a prerequisite to free up time and energy. The extraction made that possible of course, and it is not much different now. BigTech probably feels resonance because it's a global extractive industry too. I remember from my Latin at school how we would read texts by certain authors where they made some nuanced ethical point, while in the same text never bothering to question slavery. Or even in the same paragraph along the lines of "you need to treat slaves as human beings", except for the keeping them enslaved part ofcourse.
There's something here about cultural appropriation across eras. The Renaissance did, claiming the mantle of the Roman civiliisation as its predecessor, and thus we in the West tend to see that as our cultural lineage. Cherry picked of course, not wholesale, as we tend to with more immediate own history too (Dutch Golden Age and the role of slave trade and colonial extraction e.g. unacknowledged but being a safe haven for religious refugees from elsewhere in Europe such as the Sefardim or Hugenots clearly embraced)

Do public intellectuals even exist anymore? Do publics exist? Everywhere you go, the forces of power seek to atomize us away into marketable metrics, Facebook groups, random and randomized individuals, software-recognizable faces. Who are we, but clicks, trends, and lifestyles. We are everything but a public.
yes I think they exist but they are hard to find. Public intellectuals do not seek to build audiences - either for the sake of social media presence or for mass appeal. They attract modest audiences of likeminded people.

All Western philosophy, Whitehead once remarked, is but "a footnote to Plato";and the later Greeks themselves had a saying: "Everywhere Igo in my head, I meet Plato coming back."
See full quote: https://hypothes.is/a/TTPGtl_GEe6psRsVpOxigg
"Poetry is more philosophical than history," wrote Aristotle.By this he meant that poetry is more general, more universal.
The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato .

A rhizome is a concept in post-structuralism describing a nonlinear network that "connects any point to any other point".[1] It appears in the work of French theorists Deleuze and Guattari, who used the term in their book A Thousand Plateaus to refer to networks that establish "connections between semiotic chains, organizations of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences and social struggles" with no apparent order or coherency.

followers of Spinoza adopted his definition of ultimate substance as that which can exist and can be conceived only by itself. According to the first principle of his system of pantheistic idealism, God (or Nature or Substance) is the ultimate reality given in human experience.
Historically, answers to this question have fallen between two extremes. On the one hand is the skepticism of the 18th-century empiricist David Hume, who held that the ultimate reality given in experience is the moment-by-moment flow of events in the consciousness of each individual. That concept compresses all of reality into a solipsistic specious present—the momentary sense experience of one isolated percipient.
two basic forms of idealism are metaphysical idealism, which asserts the ideality of reality, and epistemological idealism, which holds that in the knowledge process the mind can grasp only the psychic or that its objects are conditioned by their perceptibility.
idealism, in philosophy, any view that stresses the central role of the ideal or the spiritual in the interpretation of experience. It may hold that the world or reality exists essentially as spirit or consciousness, that abstractions and laws are more fundamental in reality than sensory things, or, at least, that whatever exists is known in dimensions that are chiefly mental—through and as ideas.
A good theory explains, predicts, and delights!
Sutton and Staw (1995) enlist parts of an article that are not theory that are: references, data, list of variables or constructs, diagrams, hypotheses or prediction (p. 372-377):

the number one and most important reason why research is meaningful and makes a useful and valuable contribution is theory.
(1) Why is theory so critical and for whom? (2) What does a good theory look like? (3) What does it mean to have too much or too many theories? (4) When don’t we need a theory? (5) How does falsification work with theory? and (6) Is good theory compatible with current publication pressures?

One of the core principles of Hermetic philosophy is the principle of Mentalism, which states that all things are created from and expand from the mind.
Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects both the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and the positions of certainty in atheism in favor of a middle, exploratory ground. The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum. Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in 2009, he replied "I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now.
I mentioned that I knew I liked Zettelkasten within the first 30 minutes. I think it might be important that when I sat down to try it, I had an idea I was excited to work on. It wasn’t a nice solid mathematical idea -- it was a fuzzy idea, one which had been burning in the back of my brain for a week or so, waiting to be born. It filled the fractal branches of a zettelkasten nicely, expanding in every direction.
abramdemski suggests starting with an idea you're interested in working on and fleshing out when you start your zettelkasten. This harkens back to Montessori teaching philosophies.
Are there better reasons for pursuing your education than getting a job? What are they?
Education is so much more than preparing for a future job. The purpose of education is to understand the world around us. We are always in an endless pursuit of knowledge. We cannot know everything, but we will surely try. Education helps us expand our minds and understand complex ideas. This passage challenges the reason why we seek further knowledge. To see education as not just an end goal for a job but to see education as a means to understand the mystery of the world around us.
thats how relationships built. also, i now desperately crave to be in a qpr.
mythological legitimization of transness. positions being trans as inherently revolutionary, i think. we are children of Lilith and must embrace The Slime™.
The chief exponent of the view that times have changedand that our conception of the best education must changewith them is that most misunderstood of all philosophers ofeducation, John Dewey.
Hutchins indicates that John Dewey was misunderstood as a philosopher of education.
Science must find for every effect a single cause. The historian is rarely faced with the same requirement.Historians have the advantage of being able to live with explanatory ambiguity that would be unacceptable in science.
The sixth step, most essential as well, is to Accept the Wins
Owning the losses means also owning the wins.
The fifth step is to have Selective Memory only choose to remember the events that serve the future. Things that help to improve in the future.
It's like Marcus Aurelius wrote (in a slightly different way): "Ask yourself at any moment, is this essential?" In this way it would become: "Ask yourself at any moment, does this help me?"
The fourth step is to Apply the Reflection. Adjust behavior based on reflection. We improve not for validation, we improve for ourselves (stoic philosophy)
Document the journey in for example a journal. Make a comparison between what would be done in the past and what will be done in the future.
Data collection. Measurement.
Marginal Gains. It's sort of a daily continous Kolb's cycle but in a more lightweight form. I can already see the power in this. Absolute gem.
Could also be overwhelming if applied to a lot. therefore, use the power law and focus on what is essential to life change. (thanks Dr. Benjamin Hardy.)
The third step is to Reflect and think into the future. Extract meaning and lessons from the failure. Think about opportunities.
Reflection increases confidence. Kolb's can help with this a lot.
The second step is Sit with the loss in order to find the (root) cause of the loss or pain. Do not avoid the pain, don't distract oneself, instead embrace it and feel it.
Endurance can be trained. Comfort with uncomfortability can be trained in the same way.
Accept and sit in the fire. Embrace the turmoil.
The first step to deal with loss of any kind, be it a girlfriend, love, job, purpose, etc. Is to ACCEPT YOU LOST
Failure = Failure.
Failure is inevitable, and will be part of any learning process. Therefore it should not be avoided at all costs. It should be used to learn from. However; there is also no point in seeking failure, for if failure is not something negative, there is no point to improve (says the author at least)
The original accident is een concept van de Franse filosoof Paul Virilio, waarmee hij waarschuwt voor de onbedoelde gevolgen van technologische ontwikkeling. Uiteindelijk stuit elke technologie op een grens waardoor er een ongeval zal ontstaan, zo stelt hij. Daarmee leren we wat er verbeterd moet worden. Tegelijkertijd maakte hij zich steeds meer zorgen over de onbeheersbaarheid van technologische vooruitgang. Stevenen we af op een doomsday?
Original accident: elke tech heeft een onbedoeld gevolg, en dat leidt uiteindelijk tot een 'ongeval'. zo leer je meer over het wezen van die tech, en wat er verbeterd moet worden. Virilio vreest kennelijk dat huidige tech dev tempo te hard is om dat proces beheersbaar te laten verlopen.
