Who would deny this world's transience, so clear to see?
Who does not know, though long we live, that death will surely be?
Who would deny three measures of cloth (the shroud) are the final legacy?
Who does not know this very grave is our true homeland.

Rough English translation:

O, people of wisdom, look upon our state,
This is, for certain, human's ultimate fate.
A troubled, ephemeral dominion is this earthly place,
Where every soul mistakes its hardship as some grace and comfort.

We still know very little about complexity theory and the emergent behaviors of self-organizing processes across micro-to-macro systems.

I guess, today’s highly compartmentalized mainstream scientific tradition hinders progress toward a holistic understanding.

Don's main distinction for a CS mentality:
- ability to jump very quickly between levels of abstraction, between a low level and a high level, almost unconsciously
- deal with non-uniform (he means mathematically dis-continuous, discrete IMO) structures

VLDB is a good example with a monthly cycle and accepted papers getting published concurrently in PVLDB each month.

Incentives influence choices and mass choices create the Zeitgest.

Unrestricted social media ecosystem favors the quick and superficial, seducing everyone —from professors to everyday individuals— to contribute to content that appeals to our lower faculties, much like primal instincts.

Hallucination, especially somehow grounded ones, is not a bug but rather a feature.

Artists, for centuries, have been the "hallucinators of human society" challenging the common sense, i.e. the common daily patterns in the society.

Great insights, thx @tiziano.bsky.social. Especially like it because its prospective and interventional experiment.

One question: Any observed/estimated bias because of the "install browser extension" constraint?
