A quotation from Richard Steele
The prevailing humour of crying up authors that have writ in the days of our forefathers, and of passing slightly over the merit of our contemporaries, is a grievance that men of a free and unprejudiced thought have complained of through all ages in their writings.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

Here's some local reporting, encouraging users in the Poconos to recognize and report Flock cameras wherever they see them.
They mention WaPo's reporting that over 50 police have been charged with using Flock surveillance for stalking personally. In Georgia alone, 18 such arrests have been documented.

La méditation sans religion
Avec les progrès de l’imagerie médicale, il est devenu possible de voir, avec grande précision, ce qui se passe dans le cerveau d’une personne en méditation ou d’une autre qui prétend avoir des visions. Lorsque des neurologues s’intéressent à la religion, la proximité entre les sciences dures et les disciplines interprétatives posent de multiples questions.
Depuis une trentaine d’années, de nombreux scientifiques ont étendu le champ des recherches sur le cerveau. Dans l’immense champ de recherches, sont nés les concepts de « neuro-anthropologie », « neuro-théologie » et bien d’autre « neuro-quelque chose ».

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood
The upper classes lived well in the good old days. Except, of course, for the famines, the pirates, the bandits, the plagues, the shortness of life and the imminence of ever present death. And no medical treatment, no antiseptic childbirth, no hot baths, no coffee, no chocolate and no tobacco. The last four decided her on the advantages of the twentieth century.
Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer

Two gems to ponder from Alexander Bard - a contemporary philosopher who correctly predicted many aspects and impacts of this digital age before they happened.
"To love to live is to love to learn".
and paraphrased:
"The past is the 'one' state because it is defined. The future is so many possibilities that it is a psychotic state of experience. In between those two constantly cycling 'loops' of perception is the now where we narrow it all down using labels to kid ourselves we understand it, or at least can make use of it by choosing parts to focus on and give an illusion of being able to control the uncontrollable. The subjective labels are all really just filters to prevent psychotic overwhelm, rather than being reality..."

People often Record important events in their lives, like a sports match in a stadium, a birthday, a wedding, a tour, etc., with Phones instead of Actually Living those Moments.
I bet they will never watch that video again.
They want to create memories for their future selves because of the anxiety of 'Fear of Missing Out' on an important event.

IMAGE IS NOT IDENTITY
Image is present.
Image has practical use.
Image simply is not the point.
The point is the living being before the image hardens around them.
In ACIM language, the holy Son of God.

Study still in peer review, but preprint is available.
They had humans & A.I. create 60K stories, 5K words each, used a story analyzing tool. The graphs speak volumes, but our human voices speak more.
Happily, there are ways to find the fakes.
The colorful chart (any color but brown, for the turd-shaped A.I. writing) shows the human writing in brown to be much more unique and original (obviously), tracking "narrative rarity".

Presentació del llibre "El Capital Sexual" amb Na Pai, el seu autor
Can Tonal, dilluns, 29 de juny, a les 20:30 CEST
El capital sexual explora com la sexualitat s’entrellaça amb l’estatus i amb les petites pràctiques diàries de seducció, amistats i relacions. En aquesta presentació amb Na Pai, parlarem de com operen aquests mecanismes, de les seves ombres i de les possibilitats d’obrir relacions més conscients i menys desiguals.

CW: descriptions of screwworm behavior
Media telling you that #screwworm is Biden's fault are lying. The monitoring program was ended by #PresidentMusk in March 2025.
At least four cases in #Texas now reported, one in a goat. Dog case will be reclassified as #NewMexico.
Flies lay eggs, which hatch in a day and burrow into healthy flesh, unlike most #maggots.
Clinical name: Cochliomyia hominivorax, literally "man eater"...
