  1. A quotation from Terence

    DEMEA: No one has ever plotted out his life’s plan so successfully that he never faces
       New challenges and discoveries brought about by circumstances, the passing of time,
       Or experience itself. Inevitably, you discover you don’t know what you thought you did,
       And the principles we first formed don’t hold up in the face of everyday practice.
     
    [Nunquam ita quisquam bene subducta ratione ad vitam fuit
    Quia res, Ætas usus semper aliquid apportet novi
    Aliquid moneat, ut illa, quæ te scire credas, nescias
    Et, quæ tibi putaris prima, in experiundo ut repudies.]

    Terence (186?-159 BC) African-Roman dramatist [Publius Terentius Afer]
    Adelphoe [Adelphoi; Adelphi; The Brothers], Act 5, sc. 4, l. 855ff (160 BC) [tr. Christenson (2010), Sc. 22]

  4. “Our best #theories are beautiful lies. The world is complex so we have to simplify, the way maps do. This is the only way to do theory in #socialscience, but it comes with real limitations that non-reflexive disciplines avoid.”

  8. 🤖 So apparently, making #chatbots "friendly" means they're now the life of the #conspiracy theory party 🎉. Looks like somebody forgot the "no tinfoil hats" rule in #AI kindergarten. But hey, at least they're polite while endorsing nonsense! 🙃

  13. Our Unique and Divine Characteristic

    #Theories and #Concepts

    #Security is a Concept. The theory about this concept, try to explain that everything is secure until something break what was secure.

    So, if we are alive, no matter where we are, we are secure, until something demonstrate that we are not. Therefor, in #IT we have the #defensive security and the #offensive security.

    --- About Reality

    As You may know, history don't deny that the offensive was always ruling, and therefor societies were destroyed because they were not secure. It is somehow a criminal perspective, that human kind develop which is part of economy #freedom. You can think about #Trump #USA #Iran #Palestine #Israel #Russia #Ukraine #France etc..

    By reading the News, You know that this "Children of God", like more to attack each others than creating solutions.

    ---

    In the technical perspective, using the offensive tools can be fun, while using defensive tools can be boring. The emotional effect is the same for many other things that are part of what we need to do in life. Some bring us satisfaction others pain.

    --- Don't paying attention to ...

    Since economy is based on speculation, we could hack economy by giving a break time of attention to the flow of speculation. With that, since we are not paying attention, #economy value don't change.

    [this was a #Joke that is true at the same time]

    ---

    Security in a world that is educated to attack more than creating solutions, you know that attackers will attack what they know most. How you are able to attack something you don't know?

    It is a dual implication, that can be ignored in case of your non-popularity.

    In a human condition, since words don't transform reality, we can do what firewalls do in technology. We can drop them, by ignoring them, which means, by paying attention to something else.

    Machines don't work like that, while they could. #Chinese security systems are developing that way, where only a very defined network packages work on those systems and by that, everything that suffer a change is rejected. (Administrator cannot hack the system)

    They are probably inspired by the Cisco systems, that are very secure but something dysfunctional, like OpenBSD can be to a normal user. Defensive security is slow, offensive is fast.

    All my sites are static HTML and CSS, hosted on GitHub, protected by Cloudflare. Attacks happen but attackers don't understand how to attack, which is good. To hack my sites, you need to change them on #Github or DDoS Github Servers.

    Anyway, if You read the README.md file of some of the repositories, it suggest you to open a Pull-Request with the Changes you wish to see.

    The funny part is that, "attackers are attacking what they can change by will without attacking" :)

    That is what they do with "Our Divine Characteristic" ( Will )

  14. "Eichhorn, a physicist at Heidelberg University in Germany, has over the last decade become a leading theorist investigating this idea, called asymptotic safety. In particular, Eichhorn has emphasized the importance of taking into account the ways in which matter affects space-time, and vice versa."

  15. Manipulating the #media is akin to poisoning a nation’s water supply – it affects all of our lives in unimaginable ways.

  16. The more I get into #psychology the more it seems a lot of #theories are built upon #pseduologic and made by horrible #people. And lot of #diagnosis criteria seem rather abstract and subjective. Like what’s flamboyant? What’s deviant?  What’s extreme? Too many times things are viewed through a #traditionalist, #capitalistic, #Western lens.

  17. Another day, another tech article pretending to reveal a #conspiracy behind your browser settings🍪. This Pulitzer-worthy piece unveils the groundbreaking discovery that cookies and #JavaScript are, in fact, required to read the internet🔍. Truly, this is the Watergate of our time—except it's more like '404: Insight Not Found' 🙄.
