Today I realized that in the pursuit of genuine scientific inquiry, one does not accumulate facts, but rather maps the contours of knowledge itself —what is knowable and what is not with our current tools. A kind of epistemic cartography, tracing the topology of truth as it stands at present.

Donald Trump a condamné une « violence horrible » après le drame, qui a eu lieu à quelques heures du défilé militaire organisé pour célébrer le 250ᵉ anniversaire de l’armée. Dans tout le pays, une journée de mobilisation baptisée « No Kings » est organisée pour protester contre l’« autoritarisme ».

YouTube suggested this Eric Weinstein talk and I'm more depressed than ever. A wild mishmash that starts with anti-trans bigotry and emasculation fears (to frequent applause), concluding with...quantum gravity? I would laugh if people like this didn't rule the world.

⚖️ How resilient is Germany's constitutional system?

As far-right positions gain traction and centrist parties increasingly compete by adopting some of their views, democratic institutions may face one of their toughest tests yet.

Poland joins the Commission’s lawsuit against Orbán’s Foreign Agents Law—showing that the real threat to democracy isn’t Brussels, as Orbán claims, but those who erode it from within and serve Putin’s agenda.

American Bar Association on Trump & Co: "These bold assertions, designed to intimidate judges by threatening removal if they do not rule the government's way, cross the line". On suggestions to disobey court orders: "These statements threaten the very foundation of our constitutional system"
