My apologies for being in anyone's starter pack, like that unwanted U2 album we were all trying to remove.

Early on in Guillermo del Toro's #Pinocchio, we are shown that the Talking Cricket has a portrait of #Schopenhauer on his wall. This curtain-raises the film’s focus on inevitable suffering, as well as the tension between will and representation that dominates Pinocchio’s world.

Let's face it, somehow the UK has managed to both deform and damage research (and the Higher Ed it's linked to) even while spending more on it. Quite the trick, don't know how we've managed it. ras.ac.uk/news-and-pre...

Does x=y? We'd like to clarify that our recent speaker, Prof Michael Rosen of @harvard.edu is a different person from poet and national treasure @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social. Despite their many commonalities, we've checked and Prof Michael does not have the property "Bear Hunt author".
Leibniz's Law: Two things are identical if they share all predicates. An image of two checklists, one for x and one for y. Both have everything ticked, so x=y.

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

Also new today, my fourth piece of advice on writing about history of philosophy: about focusing on the primary text instead of secondary literature (and how to use secondary literature when you do use it).

www.historyofphilosophy.net/rules-writin...

#philosophy #philsky #writingtips
Rules for Writing 4: The primary text is primary | History of Philosophy without any gaps
This overlaps with a point I made in the previous series of “20 rules for doing history of philosophy,” but I’m going to say something similar here because it is so important.
