Oh wow, another keyboard warrior 🤓 compares software updates to the Tower of Babel, because nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like an ancient biblical parable about confusion and chaos. 🙄 Maybe next time he'll draw parallels between #JavaScript frameworks and Greek mythology. 🚀

Ancient stories claim Babel was more than a tower. Then came a warning so chilling that humanity was scattered across the earth.

#PopeLeoXIV described #AI as the #TowerOfBabel. Brings to mind the #Tarot card, #TheTower [Struck by Lightning]!
"A variety of explanations for the images on the card have been attempted. For example, it may be a reference to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where God destroys a tower built by mankind to reach Heaven."

I recently finished reading Richard Wollheim's "Painting As An Art".
I found much of it stimulating in the close attention paid to particular pictures and thought provoking with regard to his theory of "seeing in" as the way to understand our perception of paintings.
On the other hand, his use of psychoanalytic theory left me with questions.
Surprisingly, his use of this theory reminded of some recent reading of mine in evolutionary psychology. Both Wollheim and the evolutionary psychologists stress the significance of a common human nature and are inclined to downplay the importance of systems of symbols or culture in general.
I do think that a substantive concept of human nature makes sense, and I am open to the possibility of evolutionary psychology and psychoanalytical theory contributing to an understanding of of human nature.
Altogether less agreeable to me is the tendency of these theories to smuggle in a social ontology in which culture is merely the creation of atomized individuals. One can believe in the evolved nature of the mind and allow for the possibility of certain kinds of psychic forces at work in the individual without denying the importance, still less the existence, of social facts. Thinking about languages as at once learned and used by individuals but also existing as entities external to those individuals is helpful here.

Random guy just asked me, as far as I can tell, in Spanish if I speak Italian. Did exasperated sigh and big eye roll when I responded with “Sorry, no I don’t”.
Bruh.

In the days when all people spoke a single tongue — homophonoi —
they came together to build a tower that would reach the heavens.But the gods, displeased, blew a mighty wind that toppled the tower and scattered them with a confusion of languages.

🛠️ Ah, "Liberapay," the noble quest to rewrite the Tower of Babel in #C++. 🌐 If you thought translating menus could rally the world together, think again! 🤔 The only thing more bewildering than the navigation is why anyone thought #Esperanto needed another webpage. 😂
