Ah yes, the timeless classic: an indecipherable wall of #gibberish pretending to be a #scholarly treatise. 📜🧐 Apparently, this cryptic string of characters is meant to enlighten us on 'Mencius'—or maybe it's just a #PDF #glitch masquerading as philosophy? 🤷♂️💫

The Sinhala language also (see last post) used to contain more Pāli words, but has drifted back in the direction of Sanskrit, which is intimately tied to Hinduism, because Sanskrit is viewed as a prestigious language. For example, Sinhala says vidarśanā instead of vipassanā.

Ah, the classic #scholarly debate: do #Transformers need more than one shiny hat to party? 🤖🎩 Spoiler alert: apparently, someone thought it was worth 2606.04032 pages to answer this. Meanwhile, the real question is, how many #projections does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 😂💡

https://www.booksns.com/188533/ literacy nonfiction #BookSuggestions Hi everyone, I'm studying literacy in the US since COVID and i'm hoping yall might have good books or data-oriented articles about this phenomenon? (not looking for op-eds, but well-cited pop sociology books would be welcomed so i can look through the bibliography) thanks! #nonfiction #scholarly #literacy #postCOVID by bluebirdonline

OK, finished the paper. Excellent work, hats off to Boston U School of Law, and Hartzog & Silbey. It's fetching that a paper on the dangers of AI resembles a steam train; slow to get started, but with eventual and unstoppable inertia.
Plus now I want to read Putnam's "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community". Warning to my #strongtowns peeps, prepare to be annoyed with my new single minded focus

"The stakes are as high as they come, including the vitality of public education and supportive, livable neighborhoods. Functioning hospitals, thriving religious and civic organizations, regular participation in community gatherings and municipal hearings, and reliable local businesses are cornerstones of civic life."
Holy shit, well said.
