A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person?
[Pourquoi faut-il que nous ayons assez de mémoire pour retenir jusqu’aux moindres particularités de ce qui nous est arrivé, et que nous n’en ayons pas assez pour nous souvenir combien de fois nous les avons contées à une même personne?]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶313 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra…

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
If one lived for ever the joys of life would inevitably in the end lose their savour. As it is, they remain perennially fresh.

The videos of #Trump's attempts at speech are making me think even more about #language acquisition and #degeneration. How I would love a #neurologist to do a close reading of his sentences -- the #repetition, the frequent absence of #grammar, whatever stands out. Anyway, here is another image of the brain from #FindingTheRightWords. Thank you to the amazing #CarolinePrioleau of #UCSF for this beautiful and helpful drawing.

Times Like These...
A spotlight on alternative temporal orders, where the hold of gridded time loosens or breaks; spaces and situations beyond the reach of the clock.

Has anyone noticed an increase in the use of the phrase, "I don't care"?
In #Australia we had a #ad with a pop #song that repeated #lyrics, "I don't care". Recently someone played a funky track with "#iDontCare" repeated constantly throughout. We quizzed them where they heard that and they said it appeared in a #Spotify playlist.
Do we need to track the use of "I don't care"?
