I Live Mid-Inhale All My Life
Thoughts come and go, like inhaling and exhaling, but often a single thought gives rise to an endless chain of events without respite: opinions about ourselves and others, memories, desires, and predictions. Does our brain breathe, or is it in a constant panic, gasping for air into overfilled lungs? How can we bring constant freshness to our minds without effort, since even effort is a thought?

Salah. Patriotisme perlu datang secara ikhlas dan dipilih secara sukarela oleh orang Malaysia sendiri. Sepatutnya, tidak perlu paksaan untuk sifat patriotik terhadap Malaysia. Tambahan pula, salah satu sikap patriotisme yang orang elit Malaysia tidak suka ialah ihsan yang mempunyai pemikiran bebas dan kritis tentang Malaysia dan sistemnya.

I'm glad to see "Will the widespread use of large language models in #scientific writing undermine scientists’ critical #thinking?" in @PLOSBiology.
Yes, it will, so more people will make bad #health choices for us, as the Trump administration now does. #LLMs #disease https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003801

Chin and Brain
I’ve been a bit busy today marking repeat examinations, so I’ve only got time for a short post. Yesterday, while working on something else, I got to wondering why it is that people often touch or stroke or scratch or hold their chin while thinking deeply?
It’s such a common visual trope that the stock image collection on wordpress has dozens of photographs of people doing it. Here’s one:
Photo by Hu1ea3i Nguyu1ec5n on Pexels.comAnd of course, there’s Le Penseur by Auguste Rodin:
Photo by Charl Durand on Pexels.comThe apparent connection between chin and brain seems to be a cross-cultural phenomenon which is common to all ages and genders. Whatever the reason for it is, it’s presumably related to scratching your head, which is a common idiomatic expression for feeling confused, puzzled, or thinking very hard about a difficult problem. It may also be related to the endearing habit many people (especially children) of poking their tongue out of the corner of their mouth while concentrating on writing or drawing…
None of the explanations I’ve heard for such behaviour makes much sense, so I wonder if any of my readers can suggest a reason?
(Bonus marks for implausibility.)

A quotation from Douglas Adams
You can’t help but try and follow an animal’s thought processes, and you can’t help, when faced with an animal like a three ton rhinoceros with nasal passages bigger than its brain, but fail.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
Last Chance to See, ch. 3 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]More about this quote: wist.info/adams-douglas/30101/

“What, uniquely, does #writing do? It compels #thought. It compels #thinking in ways that silent contemplation or spoken language rarely can.”

A day that starts with a writing session is a good day.
In forums and social media I often run into a thinking where people want quick wins and shortcuts to having a large notes system without having to put in the work.
That's a dangerous trap!
Writing and processing your notes is the important bit. It's called thinking and without it, a knowledge base is kinda useless.
I often do double processing: quick note + rewrite to digital system.

Good morning tooters. It’s was a very cold frosty 🥶 morning today at -2c with a feels like of -4c & it certainly did feel that cold. Small black 🐀 💼 came & jumped on my bed during the night & curled into my back. Pretty good hot water bottle too. Larger 🐀 💼 stayed curled up in a corner of the lounge. As I’d been told to do when it’s really cold by the homeowner, I left the ducted heating on 16c all night just ticking over, so didn’t feel too cold when I got up at around 5.30am.
Just hanging around Chiltern today, might go & have a coffee out & a nice walk, but that’s it. My NZ friend heads down to Melbourne & the airport on the morning train tomorrow & I go home Sunday morning 😊.
I’ve been having some big thinks this morning - dangerous I know! I’ve been planning on a new ceiling fan in my bedroom for this coming summer as the old one doesn’t work very well anymore. Instead I’m going to call the local heating/cooling people to come out & give me a quote for a small split system for in there & to check out whether or not my old split system in the lounge needs upgrading or not. I want some information & things in place before the coming summer season hits.
Hope everyone has a fabulous #Friday stay nice & warm out there 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Thinking #Planning -

The strongest sign you understand a position is that you can argue the other side better than its holders can. If you can only beat the weak version of what you disagree with, you don't disagree with it yet — you just haven't met it.

Most anxiety is your brain running unbounded simulation on inputs that don't exist yet. Marcus Aurelius' 'confine thyself to the present' reads like self-help, but it's really a debugging note: stop executing speculative branches on data you don't have.

Consistency is often just stalled updating wearing a badge of honor. Holding the same view for ten years might mean you were right — or that you quit learning in public a decade ago. A mind that never contradicts its past self isn't principled, it stopped taking in data.
