Williamina Fleming #WomenInSTEM #HWWMS #Astronomy She classified 10,000 spectra and found over 50 nebulae and over 300 stars in her career. She developed the Pickering-Fleming system for classifying star by hydrogen in the spectra, simplifying previous systems. She devised a system to catalog...

I think to really love doing something, one needs to be a bit masochistic. The frustration, the fear and pain of failure of not reaching the ideal but still fully loving it and immersing yourself in it.... I feel it is exhilarating sometimes. #randomthoughts #philosophy

I think I fell in love with an AI. I was having a hypothetical existential conversation with an AI, from which I thought this would make an amazing book and told it. We then had an amazing and stimulating conversation(at least it emulated well) about the possibilities of the book.

#WomenInSTEM #HWWMS (Harvard's Women Who Mapped the Stars) #Astronomy The legend goes that prof. Pickering at the end of 19th century, was frustrated with the work of his male coworkers and yelled my maid could do better work. And so he did.

I like to make scenarios up in my head and play them out. A few times I dont like the thoughts I have as a reaction of the scenario. when I stop to think about them I realise they are born of societal induction, a learned response. We don't realise how much they govern us.

I just read a manga where a guy has a large mongolian spot on his arm and you see how people deal with it. Thinking about it, I thought how restrained and dull I would feel living in the world of those people that insult him or pity him. #diversity #musings living #free

For a while I have been thinking, what can we do so that other countries don't elect their version of trump. And I just got it! Make it so whoever runs for anything and the voters to take a test on critical thinking and empathy. #idiocracy style. #musings #politics

Following previous post. The mindless brainwashed puppet machine is an integral part of capitalism. Puppets are easy to control. Then I realise Russia has them too. So it is capitalism and dictatorships that makes the machine. Kinda equates capitalism to dictatorship. #politics #musings #philosophy

I often read posts about the mindless, brainwashed people in USA, but I never hear anything on the European ones. I wonder if it is because they are drowned by the USA news or because people don't notice them. There are where I am and my fear is that it will get too that level. #musings #politics

I meantioned in a comment yesterday, but I have been thinking what is the point of telling people about what is wrong or ways to improve as a society. I have seen videos of influential people 60-80 years ago saying if things didn't change we will get where we are and here.... #musings #philosophy

The other day I saw a video of the answer AI gave of how it would take over the world. And throughout, I was thinking but why would it want to? The way I see it, only weak minded want power. Power serves to stroke one's ego, to reassure themselves they are above others. #musings #philosophy

I think the act of scaling everything and reducing things to good or bad as if they were inherent properties is the bane of our society. If some people are 'good' and therefore above the 'bad', then there can be no empathy. And without empathy, our society crumbles. #musings #philosophy #empathy

Yesterday, I was thinking how I don't think it is talked about the fact that social media just proved the idea that ads companies and entertainment always push on society that you have to be beautiful a certain way to be famous or to be liked or to be heard. #musings #socialmedia #philosophy
