  4. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

       Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
       All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

  9. A quotation from John Scalzi

    Rich people show their appreciation through favors. When everyone you know has more money than they know what to do with, money stops being a useful transactional tool. So instead you offer favors. Deals. Quid pro quos. Things that involve personal involvement rather than money. Because when you’re that rich, your personal time is your limiting factor.

    John Scalzi (b. 1969) American writer
    Lock In, ch. 3 [Shane] (2014)

  10. Safeguarding Spatial Sovereignty in the Age of Rapidly Refreshed Machine-Readable Terrain

    “The map is not the territory.” ~ Alfred Korzybski
    “As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
    It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
    This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”

  11. _Ethical responsibility_

    Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
    According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). Once the act of naming is not:
    * the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
    * but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
    * then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.
