Thomas Nagel’s famous 1974 thought experiment/paper “What Is It Like to Be a Bat?” made a bold statement that remains relevant in the philosophy of mind despite 'advances' in the field.
That is, there cannot be a science of consciousness.

My readings in philosophy of mind are leading me to the conclusion that psychiatry is not a branch of medicine.
In fact, many psychiatrists would agree that the field is gradually moving away from the word “disorder.”

Democracy, and everything it stands for, is a threat to China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran - for anyone who cares to ask why such culturally antagonistic nations would have anything in common.
e.g. Iran is officially theistic. China is officially atheistic 😂

Trump–Putin bromance is deteriorating further as the U.S. will now share intelligence with Ukraine for long-range strikes on Russia’s energy grid, including refineries & power plants, while urging NATO allies to follow suit. Washington may also send Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Migration is not a special interest
It is an expression of life’s own adaptive intelligence
To vilify it while benefiting from it is to attack a basic engine of human thriving - a move that can only serve power, not principle

The IMF recommends Italy accelerate debt reduction efforts.
Another wave of anti-government protests is brewing in Italy, while France burns over the same.
Socialist policies are not self-sustaining; there is always a breaking point

"While 93% of baby boomers and 86% of Generation X say violence is never acceptable, only 71% of millennials and 58% of Generation Z do...many young people are willing to justify violence when the 'right' villain is talking"

1. Females may favour males with larger testes as a signal of fertility and genetic fitness. and/or
2. The promiscuity of squirrels meant that males with larger balls produced enough sperms to raise the chances of being the father.

Tanzania accused of being conduit for ASWJ radicalization, recruitment, logistics.
Radical preachers, fighters from TZ enter Cabo Delgado, radicalizing youth.
TZ could be turning blind eye to the issue due to religious sensitivities.
This could be why Mozambique trusts Rwanda🤔

Haile Selassie was Ethiopia’s last emperor before the Derg’s Marxist-Leninist regime, a brutal communist experiment that collapsed spectacularly, leaving nearly a million dead!
Kenya has a registered communist party that seeks to try that experiment, too...💀

Colin McGinn on Philosophy of Perception – Colours
1. Colours really are out there in the world, not mere illusions.
2. But they are not reducible to physical or dispositional properties.
3. Instead, colours are sui generis qualities - real, primitive aspects of the world.

The $9B Morocco used to build the Noor Solar Complex was enough to construct a nuclear plant, which is in fact cleaner and more efficient. Making it worse, the plant consumes 2.5–3M m³ of water annually in a country already facing severe water scarcity.

What is on your mind 🤔
The scary implication of Einstein’s relativity is that, if we see objects as they were, not as they are, then “now” isn’t universal. Aliens observing Earth from Andromeda are seeing it as it was over 2.5 million years ago. That is, their present (now) isn’t our present.

Miami federal jury has found that Tesla misled consumers in its marketing of Autopilot, holding the company partly liable for a 2019 crash that killed a pedestrian and injured another. Jurors awarded $43M in compensatory and $200M in punitive damages.

The US has expanded sanctions on ICC officials: Prost, Guillou, Khan, and Niang, bringing the total number of sanctioned officials to eight. The move is based on claims that the ICC poses a threat to the US and Israel. This onslaught is rendering the ICC functionally toothless.

For just $7.2 million, Russia sold Alaska to the United States in 1867—a decision that many Russian nationalists, likely including Putin, deeply regret today.

Your adolescence & 20s are nearly as deadly as your infancy. Not from disease, but from recklessness.
It’s an age where you're strong, fearless, and out to prove yourself often without the wisdom to judge real risks or consequences.

An emerging concept in biology (epigenetics), though counterintuitive, is that grandchildren of smokers or drinkers can inherit epigenetic vulnerabilities like higher risk of asthma, cognitive issues, or low birth weight even if their parents lived perfectly healthy lives. 🤯

Microsoft Corp. has become the second company in the world to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization after NVIDIA Corp.
Interestingly, Microsoft has been on a firing spree since 2023. It seems even big companies don’t tolerate joyriders.
