  1. #Fun #Fact:
    It's nothing but a distatesteful, baseless rumor, that the #SETI-Project, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, was started by a few US-American professors solely out of frustration from not being able to find any terrestrial intelligence in their country.

  2. Way to go, Sarasota!

    > A Moms for Liberty Cofounder Just Got Her Butt Kicked in a #Florida School Board Race, and I Couldn’t Be Happier

    > Even the little victories matter.

    This was not little; it was huge! For a city which was sane & civil for a long time, until #TrumpVirus hit & #DOGE took a chainsaw to New College (also Sarasota), as the school board set about to ban anything 'woke' or #fact based.

    Score one for #education #truth & #democracy vs. #cult #WordSalad

  5. Models Are Getting Dumber on Purpose - Walter van der Giessen

    > Reasoning scores climb while per-token compute drops. Labs are stripping world knowledge out of models, and I think that's the right trade.

  7. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 13 “Ideology and Terror” (1951)

  8. #TrumpVirus #Truth

    steady.substack.com/p/trump-in

    From a journalist who was part of the "Tiffany" news network. Actual #fact based, public service #news.

    Now, IMHO, Dan Rather absolutely nails Sir's #psychology - and the dangers & implications.

    > Trump is terrible at so many things, but one of his worst attributes is his inability to understand — or disinterest in — consequences.

    Zero #cognitive #ExecutiveFunctions - like focus, reasoning, conceptualizing, planning, seeing cause/effect...

  9. @dave if you ripped up the Bible and had no knowledge of it you could not reproduce any of it #faith but if you rip up all science books you can recreate every scientific law #fact

  10. August 7 is International Beer Day. So, I'll plug my novel BEER POUR. A few facts I learned while writing the book. Beer is the third most-consumed beverage in the world, behind water and tea. Beer becomes either an ale or a lager during the fermentation process. Americans consume more Japanese beer than any other country, and Japanese citizens consume more beer than any other beverage. So, Happy International Beer Day. #foodanddrink #beer #beverages #japan #international #world #books #bookstodon #book #bookLovers #bookstagram #booksky #friday #weekend #mastodon #fediverse #scribesAndMakers #author #authors #august #writingCommunity #writing #beerpour #novel #reading #readers #facts #fact #trivia

    #Putin is crazy , he lives in another reality.
    Once again, like #Trump, the better alternative is to to deny reality

  16. One thing which bothers me about the prose in the Sutta Pitaka is it often presents plot devices as facts, eg: the Bāhiya Sutta (Ud 1.10) tells a story of a monk who is in a hurry to attain enlightenment, instantly attains it after talking to Buddha, then immediately dies from a cow attack.

  18. #Science #History in #Crime perspectives : The non-rational living being is not feeling pain (is that a #Joke or Criminality) ? You could call it professionalism, while if that was the cause (which explain the use of non-rational living beings to learn about the electrical impulses that are flowing on each body), then you wouldn't say that non-rational living beings don't feel pain. You would assume a #Fact : For Science, breaking any moral rules is necessary. #Results
