Ich verstehe ja, dass sich Website-Betreiber mit #Anubis #Bots vom Hals halten wollen. Aber wenn ich dann mit meiner Aufmerksamkeitsspanne einer Eintagsfliege nach >30 Sekunden den Wiki-Artikel immer noch nicht lesen kann, dann bin ich halt weg. So wird das nix, sorry.

Dass die #Handschrift komplett ausstirbt, kann sich Expertin Nürnberger nur schwer vorstellen. „Aber sie könnte stark zurückgedrängt werden, sodass nur noch einige wenige sie verwenden.“

Glaube ich persönlich so nicht. Und ihr?
Hat die Handschrift ausgedient?
Einige halten sie für wertvoll, andere für veraltet. Schulkinder tun sich mitunter schwer damit, und es stellt sich die Frage, ob die Handschrift in 100 Jahren überhaupt Bedeutung hat

“Traditionally, the ancient #Greeks have been viewed as the fountainhead of European civilisation, but #Minoan culture was flourishing many hundreds of years earlier.”
Want to understand the history of European culture? Start with the Minoans, not the Ancient Greeks
From art to architecture, this pioneering bronze age civilisation had a huge influence on other western cultures.

Turns out studying #philosophy is actually valuable. Philosophy majors don’t just argue well, they actually become better thinkers and do better on tests. Data from 600k students shows they outscore every other major on reasoning, curiosity and open-mindedness.
Studying philosophy does make people better thinkers, according to new research on more than 600,000 college grads
Philosophers are fond of saying that their field boosts critical thinking. Two of them decided to put that claim to the test.

Some #fish seem to enjoy being “massaged” by other fish during cleanings—but it isn’t clear if they actually experience #pleasure like we do.

These fish may feel pleasure while being groomed by other fish
An experiment with threadfin butterflyfish finds that these fish may experience pleasure while being cleaned by bluestreak cleaner wrasse — suggesting this capacity goes far back in animal evolution.
