I've been looking for the reference for this quote:
"Whoever controls the people's fears becomes master of their souls",
presumably by Niccolo Machiavelli, but I could not find any sentence looking like that in his work. Does anyone know the reference? #PhilSky

This is the exact place in Clermont-Ferrand (France) where philosopher Blaise Pascal was born in 1623. The only indication I found is a pub called Café Pascal. Geographically speaking, the house was actually where the lampost is. 1/3

Excellent paper by @bernardokastrup.bsky.social, I really enjoyed reading it, but I still have a few questions. Why "analytic" idealism (and not just "idealism")? What are "transpersonal, non-perceptual experiential states" (how can they be non-perceptual and experiential at the same time)?
“The world is constituted of transpersonal, non-perceptual experiential states that cannot be characterised in terms of physical quantities,” writes Bernardo Kastrup. | iai.tv/articles/rea...

How @lemonde.fr is using AI. Very interesting article. Seems like the most impactful use case will be translation. I hope it will lead to the europeanisation of the media industry, but still with professional journalists to proofread the articles. #Press
