  1. Ah, another blog post that reads like a Wikipedia summary gone rogue 🤓📚. Apparently, if you combine #Eco, #Templars, and a sprinkle of 1988 tech #nostalgia, you get a fancy name drop about a computer called #Abulafia. 🌈🎩💻 Because who doesn't love a good cocktail of #conspiracy #theories and outdated DOS prompts? 🙄

  2. Quelles sont les limites de la science?

    Jean-Philippe Uzan est un cosmologiste français, directeur de recherche au Centre national de la recherche scientifique.

  3. 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]

  5. “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.”

  6. #Science is rooted in creative interpretation. #Numbers suggest, constrain and refute; they do not, by themselves, specify the content of #scientific #theories.” - #StephenJayGould, The Mismeasure of Man.

  7. 🤖 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! 🙃

  9. 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 )

  10. "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."

  12. 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.

  15. John Roberts is well aware of the Supreme Court's credibility problems, but he doesn't want to fix it by a code of conduct -- he wants to fix it by cosy interviews with journalists

  16. Three of our Supreme Court Justices had worked on Bush v Gore in 2000 -- and those are the "moderates" on this court

  17. Equal parts "Dark Money" and "Democracy in Chains",
    Minority Rule is a riveting yet disturbing history of the fifty-year Republican plot to
    💥hijack #voting #rights in America,
    💥its profound implications for the 2024 #presidential #election,
    💥and the crucial role that Chief Justice #John #Roberts has played in determining how we vote.

    In 1981, a young lawyer, fresh out of Harvard law school, joined the Reagan administration's Department of Justice,
    taking up a cause that had been fomenting in Republican circles for over a decade by that point.
    From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ,
    this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation
    — the Voting Rights Act.
    His name was John Roberts.
    Over thirty years later in 2013, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts,
    now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
    wrote #Shelby #County vs. Holder,
    one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence.
    A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act,
    Roberts's decision
    — dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past
    — emboldened right-wing, #antidemocratic #voting #laws around the country immediately.
    No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby.

    Now lauded investigative reporter #David #Daley reveals the urgent story of this 🆘fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor.
    From the bowels of Reagan's DOJ to the walls of the conservative #Federalist #Society to the moneyed Republican resources #bankrolling restrictive voting laws today,
    Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling.
    Through careful research and exhaustive reporting, he connects Shelby to 🔥a well-funded, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box
    — an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle.
    In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled #fringe conservative #theories about our elections with the potential to shape the 2024 election and topple the foundations of our democracy.
    Timely and alarming, Daley offers a powerful message that, while Shelby was the misguided end of the Voting Rights Act, it was also the beginning of something far darker.
