In den Reden der Vertreter:innen von Zentralbanken spielt die Klimakrise seit 2015 eine wichtige Rolle; in etwa einem Drittel der Reden wird sie erwähnt. Drei Wissenschaftlerinnen haben diese Diskurse systematisch untersucht und modelliert. Ob und wie die Klimakrise zum Thema wird, hängt vor allem von den institutionellen Aufgaben der Zentralbanken ab.

Wirkungen haben diese Reden immer nur kurzfristig dadurch, dass sie die Kurse von „grünen“ Unternehmen steigen lassen.

-title: VARIABILITY IN SENSORY ECOLOGY: EXPANDING THE BRIDGEBETWEEN PHYSIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY - author - Olivier Dangle, - Duncan Irschick, - Lars Chittka, - Jerome Casas - date: 2009

• abstract
  • Sensory organs represent the interface between
    • the central nervous system of organisms and
    • the environment in which they live.
  • To date, we still lack a true integration of
    • ecological and
    • evolutionary perspectives
  • in our understanding of many sensory systems.
  • We argue that scientists working in sensory ecology should expand the bridge between
    • sensory and
    • evolutionary biology, and,
  • in working toward this goal, we advocate a combination of
    • the experimental rigor of the sensory physiologist with
    • population-based as well as
    • evolutionary views

Auch die liberation berichtet über die Studie zu den Möglichkeiten, die innereuropäische Luftfahrt auf grünem Wasserstoff umzustellen Punkt die Gesamtkosten würden bei 300 Milliarden Euro liegen, und mit der Umstellung müsste sofort begonnen werden, damit dieser Teil der Luftfahrt bis 2050 die karbonisiert ist. In jedem Fall muss die Luftfahrt deutlich reduziert werden damit genug Energie für eine co2-freibetriebene flotte zur Verfügung steht. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/lavion-a-hydrogene-vert-une-solution-serieuse-mais-des-limites-nombreuses-20230529_UPDSTKKUABD5JMI5NIRICSWMQY/

One starts education with where the student is. But mustn't we also inventory what tools and attitudes the student brings? What tools beyond basic literacy do they have? (Usually we presume literacy, but rarely go beyond this and the lack of literacy is too often viewed as failure, particularly as students get older.) Do they have motion, orality, song, visualization, memory? How can we focus on also utilizing these tools and modalities for learning.

Link to the idea that Donald Trump, a person who managed to function as a business owner and president of the United States, was less than literate, yet still managed to function in modern life as an example. In fact, perhaps his focus on oral modes of communication, and the blurrable lines in oral communicative meaning (see [[technobabble]]) was a major strength in his communication style as a means of rising to power?

Just as the populace has lost non-literacy based learning and teaching techniques so that we now consider the illiterate dumb, stupid, or lesser than, Western culture has done this en masse for entire populations and cultures.

Even well-meaning educators in the edtech space that are trying to now center care and well-being are completely missing this piece of the picture. There are much older and specifically non-literate teaching methods that we have lost in our educational toolbelts that would seem wholly odd and out of place in a modern college classroom. How can we center these "missing tools" as educational technology in a modern age? How might we frame Indigenous pedagogical methods as part of the emerging third archive?

aside on serendipity

As I was writing this note I had a toaster pop up notification in my email client with the arrival of an email by Scott Young with the title "You should pay for Tutors" which prompted me to add a link to this note. It reminds me of a related idea that Indigenous cultures likely used information and knowledge transfer as a means of payment (Lynne Kelly, Knowledge and Power). I have commented previously on the serendipity of things like auto correct or sparks of ideas while reading as a means of interlinking knowledge, but I don't recall experiencing this sort of serendipity leading to combinatorial creativity as a means of linking ideas,

Proverbs 16:27 "Scoundrels concoct evil, and their speech is like a scorching fire." (Oxford, NSRV, 5th Edition) is translated in the King James version as "An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire." The Living Bible (1971) translates this section as "Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece."

The verse may have inspired St. Jerome to write "fac et aliquid operis, ut semper te diabolus inveniat occupatum" (translation: "engage in some occupation, so that the devil may always find you busy.”) This was repeated in The Canterbury Tales which may have increased its popularity.

Jerome's criteria that rule out an authorship attribution:

1. Author as standard of quality (work is less good than you'd expect)
2. Author is field of conceptual or theoretical coherence (i.e. this work disagrees with some other work by the person)
3. Stylistic uniformity (written in different style)
4. Temporal unit (i.e. written before or after the author's known life).
