Heute heißt es immer wieder, man habe das Volk beim EU-Beitritt 1994/95 in Sachen Neutralität "belogen" oder das Thema zumindest kleingeredet. Aber stimmt das?
Ein Thread mit Zitaten aus dem Kurier rund um den EU-Beitritt. Spoiler: Die Debatte hat sich seitdem nur wenig verändert.

Replace "Love" with "Lunch" in a song to get those taste buds primed!
"What's Lunch Got To Do With It?"
"What's Lunch Got To Do With It?"
Replacing the word “love” with “lunch” in a song is a fun, stupid game anyone can play.
I find it works best with mid songs.

Excellent piece about what could be lost, should we decide to delegate the process of writing, ie. thinking.
After the latest round of grading papers, I wrote about AI, ChatGPT, the death of the student essay, and what it means for the future of human cognition.
The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition
