Das Bild einer Entfremdung: Die Stipendiaten der Deutschlandstiftung Integration verlassen bei der Rede des Bundeskanzlers den Saal.
Viele wollen es nicht verstehen oder wahr haben, aber die Äußerungen des Kanzlers haben enorme Kränkungen verursacht.

It’s letter-of-recommendation season again, when universities ask me to rate a 21 year old student’s ability to “see the big picture of life” while I eat leftover pasta in a Tupperware…

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea.

UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations.

Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies.

Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis.

UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Launched in the early 1990s to invest mostly in bonds, the fund has grown to become the largest of its kind by acquiring small equity stakes in thousands of companies across the world.

‘I know of one man who cried, clinging to Epaphroditus’ knees, saying how miserable he was now that he was down to his last million. [… Epaphroditus] said, “Dear man, how did you keep silent up till now? How have you endured it?” ’

Severe outbreaks in Australia and Japan, the latter of which has declared a flu epidemic, have experts concerned.

“It’s not a direct lesson for what we can expect, but it’s a clue,” @cmyeaton.bsky.social said. “And that does give me pause that maybe we’ll be in for something a little bit bigger.”

The biggest problem is the leadership of the institutes, the directors, people like me. Most of us got appointed by being successful in a system that lacks the reforms that are needed. And the job encourages a kind of competitive narcissism that views complaints about the system as weakness. Why would you trust us to implement reform? The good news is that a lot of directors are going to retire in the next 10 years. More than 100 of them. If hiring is done right, a lot of change can be accomplished. But we’ll have to be less focused on hiring people based upon how many Nature papers they’ve published. Instead we’ll need to hear that they have a persuasive vision for how to improve the conduct of research in their field. No more Brotgelehrte with high h-indices, please.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

What quotes _about_ Plato do you like? I'm fond of this one from Melville:
Screenshot of text from Melville, Moby-Dick: “Now, had Tashtego perished in that head, it had been a very precious perishing; smothered in the very whitest and daintiest of fragment spermaceti; coffined, hearsed, and tombed in the secret inner chamber and sanctum sanctorum of the whale. Only one sweeter end can readily be recalled- the delicious death of an Ohio honey-hunter, who seeking honey in the crotch of a hollow tree, found such exceeding store of it, that leaning too far over, it sucked him in, so that he died embalmed. How many, think ye, have likewise fallen into Plato’s honey head, and sweetly perished there?”
