The post war scientific edifice is being shattered in a monumental act of vandalism.
It’s not just defunding childhood cancer research, but also dismantling the very idea of agency in the broader society. Science and basic research are worth pursuing. And the cost is a pittance.
> Moreover what kind of habit of thought are you in that being called out for that is read as vitriol?
That’s as much a matter of personal identity as a ‘habit of thought’, friend. Otherwise, we could we comment on the basis of _your_ perspective as some mutable affectation, no?
You see, we are shadows of ourselves. An inquisitive play, or let’s say a “judgment” about Cuda economics: aspirational, errant? Then, the linguistic phalanx: honed no doubt by long running needs to be heard and seen and listened to.
Awesome news! I'm glad for the workers and their families. That is a great wage and one that will pay dividends in terms of their health and the health of their communities.
In my particular use-case, I'm using a set of local dev tools hosted as a homebrew tap.
The build looks up the github tar.gz release for each tag and commits the sha256sum of that file to the formula
What's odd is that all the _historical_ tags have broken release shasums. Does this mean the entire set of zip/tar.gz archives has been rebuilt? That could be a problem, as perhaps you cannot easily back out of this change...
I think of it as a fitness measure: Are you active enough at moving towards food gathering sites, preparing and surveying the landscape, creating and fine tuning your tools? If it is an approval of sorts on behalf of the child, then it also points to some really basic learning that is beginning to flow between the parent and child
It also means that dynamic of political polarization become more prevalent. Imagine being accountable to only one side of the electorate and how that shapes media and institutions. It will only make the divisive, angry rhetoric worse.
If we expose people to the most sophisticated system of disinformation ever created in the history of mankind, with no restrictions or supervision of any kind, and then watch democracy collapse, it's not enough to to say "Welp! Democracy is a failed concept".
This is not about censorship. This is about each of use trying to help educate, uplift and enlighten those around us. In other words, it's up to us to help our fellow citizens. If you want to punt on that project, then so be it. But not all of us have given up.
Your phrasing is really unfortunate in the sense that it limits our conception of how to deal with other humans. Yes, if we are trying to keep the malignant hoards at bay, then 'incentivize' with a whip. It's a fundamentally negative view of humanity and human nature.
For a phenomenological treatment, see The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram.
The idea that consciousness exists throughout the world as a gradient is not new.
The modern industrial conception of mind (newly transformed by the technological revolution) prescribes a more limited domain for theories of the mind.
