I forgot how I stumbled on this interesting essay by Rudolph Winestock about how computers evolved and how we are in many ways turning back to the old ways of doing things, but it's worth reading.

For the last few months, I’ve been experimenting with how I use my phone, mostly because WhatsApp had quietly eaten far more of my attention than I realised. I wrote about the experiment, the relapses, and what happened when some of that attention came back.

I know a thing or two,
Im aware and give to that more than having fun with all references.
It hurts.
Btw.
There is a story from this book I mentioned which blew my mind. I kept returning to some parts like 50 times.
It's about an apricot and a pear and music.
It's a literary marvel of work. Even tough the rules/the box can be seen as very limiting* etc
There is a connection from a real world.
Here where Im currently residing there is an apricot tree next to pear tree, exactly those two.
The writter is called:
Geoffrey Morrison
As for the work from the compilation, I don't like that track among all other work (which is fantastic)
At some nights it's intensive, but I must mention this work.
Just brilliant.

My pre-ordered copy is supposed to arrive September 2nd. Can't wait.
"Dr. #DaraHorn didn’t want to write this #book. She wanted to write more acclaimed #novels. But after she published her bestselling #essay collection People Love Dead #Jews, readers kept cornering her with their own horror stories of #antisemitism and one unfair question: can you help? She became the antisemitism Lorax.
So she wrote the answer, and gave it the humdrum, unprovocative title: The Final Solution to the #Jewish Question. It’s out September 1.
Dara joins the #podcast to talk about why antisemitism isn’t a bigotry but a lie told by people who want power (”Jews are destroying what you value the most”); how a 1940s #American Jewish strategy to be seen as a #religion rather than a people left today’s Jews defenseless; why American #Holocaust education “eliminates pattern recognition” and outsources everything else people should learn about Jews -- about living Jews, not just dead ones..."

Militant Democracy and Fundamental Rights - Karl Loewenstein, 1937
In 1937, Karl Löwenstein, a German Lawyer published an essay in the American Political Science Review that can only be described as a blueprint for democracy to defend itself against fascism.
You probably never heard of the essay entitled “Militant Democracy and Fundamental rights” and despite having a (highschool) degree in history, neither have I. (…) Interestingly this paper was never translated into German. As we live in times that worry me, I thought it would be a good idea to convert the essay to markdown/HTML and translate it.clxi.orgIch habe bis vor kurzem auch noch nie von diesem Essay gehört und es durch die ZDF-Sendung "Die Anstalt", in deren 100. Sendung neulich, präsentiert bekommen.
Jetzt habe ich diese online-Version und Übersetzung gefunden, die Chris Heilmann ins Netz gestellt hat. Sehr interessant, und leider aktueller denn je.
Faschismus verbreitet sich, weil die Technik funktioniert, nicht weil die Umstände es erfordern.
Faschisten gewinnen Sitze und nutzen dann das parlamentarische Privileg, um genau die Institution anzugreifen, die sie sitzt, und lähmen die normale Regierung, bis sie unpraktikabel erscheint.
Eine weitere Übersetzung und noch etwas Kontext gibt es bei Christian Apl, danke für den Hinweis

"The hope that the internet would obey rules existed at one end of a spectrum; at the other end was the more widely held enthusiasm for the idea that the internet would be a place without rules."

Full disclosure: I've long been suspicious of psychology and its claims. Sabine Hossenfelder points out how psychology corrupts neuroscience and cognitive science. At least that's my take.

The Quotation’s Chain of Custody
A mug sits on the desk with Marilyn Monroe's face under the sentence Laurel Thatcher Ulrich wrote: “Well-behaved women seldom make history.” The object is wrong at the name and prone to wording drift, and it keeps selling because the right sentiment can carry any name. The claim riding beside it has manners: why care whether the mug gives Monroe a line written by Ulrich, or whether a poster hands Voltaire a sentence built by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, so long as the line still stirs? Its appeal points to use over receipt. Its conclusion says the words have done good work in the world, and good work should settle the bill.

Look at what we get to do, down here in our shared gravity well—and pay the rent, too! What a gift. But the best gift this week is something I didn't do: this post by Cindy Lollar with her wife Greta's recipe for homemade dog food.
