Alexander von Humboldt taught us to try to understand the world both by looking at the data, and by going out, looking carefully and trusting our own senses.
With this in mind, I wonder what he'd have made of our debate about immigration?

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

Thank you so much for this! So glad you enjoyed it!
@celsenbroich.bsky.social's talk with a nod to Sakoda pushed #ssc2025 keynote bar through the roof. During the talk about generative processes, context realism, and modeller's agency in #ABM, a number of agents were generated which might or might not be turtles, gremlins or paper planes

I don’t want Khamenei to have access to a nuclear weapon. But then I also don’t want Putin, Netanyahu, or Xi Jingping to have access to a nuclear weapon. And I definitely don’t want Kim Jong Un or Trump to have access to a nuclear weapon. The only person I’d trust with one is David Attenborough.
