Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable.

Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence.

Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.
My biggest GenAI-related intellectual fear is about the future of “I don’t know”
Giving medical advice, sometimes ChatGPT is right, and sometimes it is quite wrong, but it is hard to tell the difference:

"Rather, Wachter identified something more frightening: ChatGPT’s dangerous answers don’t sound risky to a non-doctor. The chatbot always sounds confident and authoritative."

How Japanese does a dish have to be that’s originally Chinese? “The origins of ramen can be traced back to Yokohama Chinatown in the late 19th century.”

“Wir begreifen, dass es unmöglich geworden ist, die extreme Rechte und ihre Ideologie herauszuhalten – aus den Köpfen, den Herzen, den Smartphones, aus den Gesellschaften, aus den Parlamenten.”
Ich habe mir Gedanken darüber gemacht, warum gerade so viele so unbedingt die Brandmauer einreißen wollen.

In the end, we no longer operate in a marketplace of ideas.
Platforms run a marketplace of feeling, where attention, not evidence, decides what rises. Emotional charge beats truth every time. Politics adapts to that logic, producing hollow performances instead of functional decisions.

Auf der einen Seite gönne ich es Herrn Precht, dass er als Fleisch gewordenes Ressentiment ordentlich Geld in seine Kasse schaufelt. Auf der anderen Seite ist es erschütternd, dass hier so oft seine bestenfalls halbgaren Erzeugnisse in der time line auftauchen.

“Since going public with his discovery, some of Lenkeit’s relatives have cut off communication with him.”
"His parents showed him the film 'Schindler’s List' when he was in school and neither of them appeared to be Nazis. In fact, Lenkeit’s father expressed admiration for Israel, he said. 'But they never told me I was Himmler’s grandson,' said Lenkeit."

Zehn Jahre sind mittlerweile vergangen. Und ich kann das einfach nicht vergessen. Ich möchte diesen kleinen Bub nicht verdrängen. Auch wenn es schmerzt. Unser jüngerer Sohn ist heute genau so alt wie Alan Kurdi war, als er tot am Strand angespült wurde. Ein kleiner Thread dazu. (1)
