  1. Podcast News, le média de l’industrie francophone du podcast, s’est fait l’écho de mon appel du week-end dernier pour sauver Méta de Choc, suite à la chute dramatique des dons que subit le podcast depuis le début de cette année 2026 (voir liens en fin de thread). 1/5

  3. Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, alzforum.org/news/conference-c

    My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend".

    I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗

  5. The Mind as Semi-Solid Smoke

    This post continues the series on Socratic Thinking, turning the space-and-place lens inward to examine the mind itself. Human minds can be thought of as an imperfect place with the ability to create their own insta-places to navigate ambiguity. 

    On the Trail (1889) by Winslow Homer. Original from The National Gallery of Art. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel.

    Exploration in any real or conceptual space needs navigational markers with sufficient meaning. Humans are biologically predisposed to seek out and use navigational markers. This tendency is rooted in our neural architecture, emerges early in life, and is shared with other animals, reflecting its deep evolutionary origins 1,2 .  Even the simplest of life performing chemotaxis uses the signal-field of food to navigate. 

    When you’re microscopic, the territory is the map; at human scale, we externalise those cues as landmarks—then mirror the process inside our heads. Just as cells follow chemical gradients, our thoughts follow self-made landmarks, yet these landmarks are vaporous.

    From the outside our mind is a single place, it is our identity. Probe closer and our identity is nebulous and dissolves the way a city dissolves into smaller and smaller places the closer you look. We use our identity to create the first stable place in the world and then use other places to navigate life. However, these places come from unreliable sources, our internal and external environments.  How do we know the places are even real, and do we have the knowledge to trust their reality? Well, we don’t. We can’t judge our mental landmarks false. Callard calls this normative self-blindness: the built-in refusal to saw off the branch we stand on.   

    Normative self-blindness is a trick to gloss over details and keep moving. Insta-places are conjured from our experience and are treated as solid no matter how poorly they are tied down by actual knowledge. We can accept that a place was loosely formed in the past, an error, or is not yet well defined in the future, is unknown. However, in the moment, the places exist and we use them to see. 

    Understanding and accepting that our minds work this way is a key tenet of Socratic Thinking. It makes adopting the posture of inquiry much easier. Socratic inquiry begins by admitting that everyone’s guiding landmarks may be made of semi-solid smoke.

  6. Not professional #linguist I wonder if there has been new #metacognition trends in languages #acquisition that has proven sound according to you, and that would go in another direction than i+1's learning easy = obvious inference + 1 complexity detail any advice by expert in #linguistics is welcome

  7. Humanizing Work
    Working with motivation and intention to benefit others makes money follow you instead of following money and is working as a human rather than a resource.

  8. CW: A fun free virtual webinar for neurodivergent scholars, writers, and creators, with optional fundraiser for formerly incarcerated mother

    On Wednesday, November 30th, at 7pm EST, I will be hosting an online #webinar for #neurodivergentAcademic burnouts on #ExecutiveFunction, #Metacognition, and Hacking yourself to Get Shit Done. Free and Public with optional fundraiser.

    forms.gle/PBWLapBYSRZKTpTa8

    The fundraiser is for my friend who is a #formerlyIncarcerated #disabledWhileBlack mother on #section8 and #foodstamps who has been living in an apartment with no furniture for 9 months and needs help with transportation to and from hospital for her #medicallyComplex infant. Also it's for Christmas money because toys for tots is trash.

    I am an openly autistic and disabled academic, I study executive function, metacognition, technology, and Autistic Technocultures. I am good at teaching you how to love yourself in a way that makes your work love you back.

    This is not a girl boss productivity capitalist bootlicking sesh. This is about how your brain works and how it's not "borked"
