💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌋☄️ An analysis of 89 major geological events over 260 million years finds #Earth’s biggest disasters cluster every 27.5 million years.
An #NYU geologist suggests this may link interior processes to orbital cycles or the #solarsystem’s motion through the #MilkyWay. The idea remains controversial but has held up against refined #data.

«Writing during the carnage of the first world war, the iconoclast intellectual Randolph Bourne described the American revolutionary inheritance as a squalid marriage between the town capitalist and plantation patriarch. Glittering generalities of freedom and democracy, Bourne observed, were indelibly marked by their long captivity to the money counters and owners of human chattel.»

🧠📚 Researchers at #NYU determined that the human #brain predicts upcoming #words by grouping them into grammatical constituents.
This hierarchical process differs from the linear next-word prediction methods used by #LLM AIs. The #study indicates that biological intelligence relies on structural sensitivity to anticipate meaning rather than just statistical probability.

[en] Haidt: dramatic global decay in cognition, attention spans, civic life
"Social psychologist Jonathan #Haidt presented a forceful analysis of the #damage #smartphones and social media are doing to our #cognition, our civic fabric, and our #children’s #wellbeing ..."
"... our collective inability to put our phones away, our #compulsion to check social media ... is causing a host of societal problems" ... "far beyond any rise in #anxiety and #depression."
"... the #destruction of the human capacity to pay #attention. ... if we can’t focus or stay on a task for more than 30 seconds."
"We allowed a few giant companies to own our children’s attention ..."

RE: https://twitter.com/MikeVacc/status/2028159489912852888
this is so weird to me. John was at #NYU Law while i was there finishing my BA. we crossed paths often. he really was one of those people who could disappear in a crowd.
like, he biked and skateboarded to school; hung out in the different cafés in the area.
i have no idea what arrangement his family had with the city and the university, but his time at NYU was the opposite of all of this.
i do have to say, in #NYC we have a weird dynamic: the more famous you are, the more we ignore you.
