Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

It's almost as if Maduro's kidnapping has nothing to do with drug trafficking at all.
fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Video rolling in of pretty massive airstrikes across Venezuela, plus low-flying helicopters which *appear* to be American.

People need to remember that going to school is a kid's life. There's all this discourse on we're doing what's good for them (many years in the future) and neglect of the fact that kids spend much of lives in school. School is life, not an optimisation centre.

I'd never heard of Maturana's and Dávila's book "The Tree of Living" (2015). Seems to be a small Chilean publisher, out of print, only in Spanish. But I've found a PDF and might give it a go soon.

I remember being a supporter of Wikipedia in the early days, I believed in what self-organising and good-willed humanity could do. In the end, Wikipedia triumphed.
But who could have predicted that it would become a stronghold against the tidal wave of AI misinformation.

Wikipedia is truly one of the greatest things on the Internet. It is absolutely incredible, and must be preserved at all costs.

Appreciated the chance to listen to this conversation—but again and again the message I hear from Mollick is "if students use the right version in the right way," it can be good for learning.
...which feels entirely disconnected from the reality in K-12 schools that is being experienced right now.

Had an interesting, hard interview with @adamconover.net on his podcast. I think he is a great example of a smart AI skeptic.
My main messages were that AI is a really big deal, it has good & bad impacts, and that, by sitting things out, skeptics can’t guide use. open.spotify.com/episode/5cFK...

The latest issue of Constructivist Foundations constructivist.info/21/1 features two articles on Humberto Maturana. One is a previously unpublished conversation with Ignacio Muñoz-Cristi on anthroporobotics. The other, co-authored by Andrey S. Druzhinin & Diego A. Ramírez, is on uncertainty. 1/4

Anyone who knows me will know how much of my life revolves around Twitter for around a decade. I wrote my doctoral thesis on it. It was an important part of the identity. At least, I thought it was.
Turns out life is absolutely fine without it.

I support @adamwteach.bsky.social 's exploration of predictive processing. We must explore new avenues. But, predictive processing is still in the realms of computation and info processing. An enactive perspective is still superior for teaching, IMO.

It's hopefully a good sign that more people are reflecting on meaningful learning now, though I wish it hadn't taken this much of a push to get back around to it!
I've noticed something interesting happening. I have been getting a lot of speaking requests related to my older book--How Humans Learn. I'm still having many conversations about grades, but in an age of AI, people want to talk about learning itself & how to preserve it. bookshop.org/p/books/how-...

About 18 seconds into this news story the reporter says the police AI report writing software erroneously wrote that someone turned into a frog. Yet this is the headline they’re going with.

A problem in education:
● Losing the term "cognition" to computer metaphors: encoding, storing, retrieving and classical cognitivist models.
How can we get it back?
● Embrace enactive/embodied views of cogsci
Cognition is the sense making all organisms carry out in their being and doing.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but “taking back control” from a Union you’re a member of, with full voting rights, to hand it to an American lunatic you bent over backwards to flatter yet he publicly humiliates you, is not taking back control at all, it’s relinquishing it.

Teaching today is too much about dealing with everyone else’s stresses, priorities and metrics obsession and too little with actual learning and what children need.
I tell coworkers: this demand on your time is because someone on 90k plus needs to meet a target. You can and should ignore it.
