    1. Each society would maintain a 'master memex' containing all papers, references, tables "intimately interconnected by trails, so that one may follow a detailed matter from paper to paper, going back through the classics, recording criticism in the margins."

      reminds me of Project Xanadu

    1. One huge advantage to scaling up is that you’ll get far more feedback for your Insight through making process. It’s true that Effective system design requires insights drawn from serious contexts of use, but it’s possible to create small-scale serious contexts of use which will allow you to answer many core questions about your system.

      I like this bit

    1. The language of the amendment, Anderson says, was crafted to ensure that slave owners could quickly crush any rebellion or resistance from those whom they’d enslaved.

      holy shit

    1. battery technology is far from advanced enough to make it worthwhile to store and transport energy from these rural regions into the urban centers that need it

      One of my projects is making a network of self sustaining local power stations

    2. In December 2019, one report suggested that 73% of Bitcoin’s energy consumption was carbon neutral, largely due to the abundance of hydro power in major mining hubs such as Southwest China and Scandinavia.

      I need to compile more data on this type of stuff

    3. ponzi scheme

      I'm sorry but "bitcoin is a ponzi scheme" is one of the dumbest arguments I hear. Bitcoin has a lot of shit wrong with it. This isn't one of the reasons tho

    4. But how much energy should a monetary system consume?

      People don't talk about this enough. They say bitcoin uses a lot. and it's bad for the environment. WE NEED TO USE ENERGY AS A SOCIETY. The conversation needs to be about fuel alternatives, not about using less energy

    1. When trauma-associated physiologic and emotional reactions persist over time and adversely impact a patient’s functioning, trauma-related disorders should be ruled out.

      interesting.

    1. But “decentralization” is also not a value in itself, and it’s not enough to build the kinds of technological networks we need to confront intensifying global crises.

      preach

    2. Which is all the more reason why we can’t let such powerful tools for mass coordination become monopolized by those who merely want to amass wealth or control.

      this is very important. too many people throw the baby out with the bathwater. if we demonize web3 only the people in power will continue to wield its power.

    3. burn a grotesque amount of energy (particularly those based on Proof-of-Work), or require tons of hardware usage (leading to immense waste).

      we have a much bigger problem here. We need to find alternative energy sources. simply "not using energy" is not a solution and should not be touted as one for any advanced civilization

    4. describing Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web3 as “the hosted web, the posted web, and the signed web,” respectively.

      hosted and posted rhyme, signed doesn't. I get it tho

    5. What matters in this discussion – in any discussion over a technology really – is who’s designing it, who controls it, and who stands to benefit?

      that part

    1. That people show off these illegible globs in public only makes sense from a signaling perspective: They are saying, “look at how many nodes I have in my brain, amazing nodes, I have so many nodes that a peon such as yourself can’t even guess what’s going on here!”

      good point

    2. The deep and urgent sense that we’re all drowning in information and distraction has created a massive market for anything that claims to solve this problem.

      deep

    1. If imbalance exists in the brain–gut–microbiota axis, various kinds of diseases—including mental health disorders like depression—may occur

      very interesting

    1. indeed, difficulties falling or staying asleep are a symptom of the diagnoses of depression, generalised anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder

      interesting

    2. Anomalies of experience such as perceptual distortions and hallucinations are also considered a key cause of paranoia

      I wonder if doing drugs that are serotonin analogues causes weed to make more perceptual distortions

    1. For over seven years, Microsoft Research has been proud to have one of its AI research projects contribute to the open exchange of knowledge within the research community. We are now evolving our focus to explore how we can advance these AI technologies in Microsoft 365 to empower every person and organization to derive valuable insights from their content.

      I feel like this really says "Our AI tech is really fucking good, we don't want you to know how good so we are shutting this down"

      Like why else shut down an academic resource? Lack of funding? ha they are made of gold.

    1. This service does not directly contain full-text content itself

      metasj says that original source isn't necessary and that, in fact, meta information is even better than source (If I understand them properly) They are very smart but I feel like our current issues with things like sci-hub and elsevier and Aaron Swartz are indicators that the source research maybe play a vital role in all this

    1. A measure of emotion recognition was used in which participants identified facial expressions as they changed from neutral (open-mouth) to gradually more intense expressions of sadness, neutral, anger or happiness (open or closed mouth)

      I really want video footage of this

    1. Psilocybin with psychological support appears to improve processing of emotional faces in treatment-resistant depression, and this correlates with reduced anhedonia.

      I wonder if there is some sort of emotion mimicry going on here

    1. meta-analysis showed that SSRIs versus placebo significantly increased the risk of a serious adverse event

      I mean this kinda makes sense, like if the drug causes adverse effects, there will be adverse effects. don't most dugs have adverse effects?

    2. However, whether these effects are beneficial and clinically meaningful are the questions.

      exactly, just because you flood the brain with serotonin doesn't mean you trigger any significant circuitry

    3. SSRIs significantly increase the risk of both serious and non-serious adverse events.

      The reason I stopped taking SSRI is because I didn't feel the benefits outweighed the side effects enough

    1. these studies have been based on outdated or limited datasets and have used inappropriate statistical methods

      why are scientists using "inappropriate" methods? Like ... I blame capitalism again

    1. Both TCAs and SSRIs are effective for depression treated in primary care.

      I read a paper where they said SSRIs were about as efficacious as placebo so this is good news to me

    1. determine the safety, efficacy and optimal dose of psilocybin

      the hard thing with dosing is that unless you have synthetic psilocybin [[indocybin]] it's hard to calculate dosage because different mushrooms have difference concentrations of psilocybin. Even for the same mushroom specimen, psilocybin density isn't the same throughout.

    1. An Interconnected Framework for Assessment of Digital Multimodal Composition

      I find it ironic that the pdf version of this has no annotations but the web version has a ton

    1. I wish I could forcibly start animal crossing music playing on people's computers while they're talking to me. maybe [[mozilla hubs]] really should be the office of the future...

      I'm on board for this future

    2. now using [[foam]] in [[paramita]], [[logseq]] in [[nostromo]]. I intend to keep it that way for a while I think? worked quite a bit, but got some stuff done -- happy about it learnt about [[gnu stow]] for managing [[dotfiles]]. [[agora]] I need to get back to some threads over social media:

      these are some good links to check out, thanks

    3. logseq]] sometimes 'snaps out' of my settings and goes back to writing pages in pages/ and journals in the IMHO weird format yyyy_MM_dd and so on

      I would submit a bug

    4. [[why don't we have both|por qué no los dos]] :)

      I don't think it's possible to have both because the agora has to pick a display version and a link version if these are opposite one is always going to be wrong.

    1. I think trust in itself is actually just a bad thing all around.

      I feel like trust is really just an assumption and assumptions should be minimized regardless of context.

    1. while also recognising another important subject you also want to write about later.

      interesting they are essentially saying the point of a wikilink is to bookmark something you want to write later, it's essentially entity based annotations. very much in the same vein as [[wikidata]]

  7. www.freefairandalive.org www.freefairandalive.org
    1. To prevent any misunderstanding: the commons is not just about small-scale projects for improving everyday life. It is a germinal vision for reimagining our future together and reinventing social organization, economics, infrastructure, politics, and state power itself.

      the commons is the new nation state

    1. Pluriverse names an understanding of the world in which countless groups of people create and re-create their own distinctive cultural realities, each of which constitutes a world.

      At one point in time I started entering spaces into annotations to "highlight" them, now I regret not putting annotations in when I'm reviewing.

    1. Social capital can be conceived of as an asset that arises from and enables the use of networks existing in a community in such a way that norms of trust and reciprocity are promoted.C166

      reminds me of utility coins from crypto networks that facilitate the usage of the network

    2. 5. Intention. The commoners need to believe that the success of the enterprise will bring results that they want. They must know what they want, and know that if they do not take the necessary action themselves, no one else is going to do it for them.C159

      this is why I think the [[moloch]] paradigm is very powerful.

    3. 6. Common understanding. There must be agreement in the community about the nature of the task and about the contribution that their actions can make towards it.C160

      I like this. things to think about

    1. Local and Global online and cyber currencies / credit systems may play a major role in cosmo-localims, facilitating the exchange of economic value and investments across space and time in ways that are not constrained by traditional currency capital flows

      crypto / LETS

    1. Others have argued that cosmolocalism advances alternatives that could potentially undermine dominant capitalist imaginary significations, attitudes and modalities.

      OMG I hope this is a thing

    2. Cosmopolitan localism fosters a global network of mutually supportive communities (neighbourhoods, villages, towns, cities and regions) who share and exchange knowledge, ideas, skills, technology, culture and (where socially and ecologically sustainable) resources.

      reminds me of the agora

    1. I will probably try to take [[outliner mode]] notes in [[logseq]] and write [[text mode]] in [[foam]] or even [[vim]] (assuming I'd be mostly adding to already existent pages seeded with [[agora protocol]]).

      I use a combination of all the above

    1. but is also breaking backwards compatibility

      I feel like this is fine. each language has their own parser. I guess it might be a problem when you write the wrong syntax due to muscle memory

    1. For example, whereas white American women may feel they must unfairly maintain the “purity” they are assumed to have been born with, American women of color and women from other cultures may feel they must attain purity, as it is not something they are assumed to have been born with within the sub-culture.

      oh shit

    1. Scientists say that, one person can’t experience limerence and love at the same time because while the former is selfish and unsatisfying, the latter is rewarding and liberating.

      ok

    1. if you belong to a dominant group (say, white folks), and you’re borrowing from a minority group whose oppression you benefit from (say, Black folks), then you need to be extremely careful, and probably get permission. If the group tells you it’s hurtful/offensive, it’s best to take their word for it. 

      this is racist. permission from who? black people in general? your black friends? black people aren't a monolith

    1. Trans people are “the best of both worlds.” Ew. Gross. If you’ve ever uttered this sentence, please go wash your mouth out with soap and possibly formaldehyde if you’re thinking about saying it again.

      I get this so often

    1. backlinks can be overwhelming: how to express which subset of them you are interested in.

      This is why I stopped using [[wikilinks]] for [[agora actions]] because my backlinks were oftentimes irrelevant

    1. This idea is important enough that I’ve given it a name. I call it the100x Multiplier. For those of us living in rich countries, you should expectto be able to do at least one hundred times as much to benefit other peopleas you can to benefit yourself.
