Mentors instead of machines: Why implicit (musical) knowledge cannot be algorithmized (guest post by Andreas Wildenhain)
My parents had a lot of records, including everything by the Beatles and Santana’s “Abraxas.” I was maybe six or seven years old and loved playing the albums on the record player, picking up …

Why does hardly anyone in academic philosophy care about reading?
Why does hardly anyone in academic philosophy care about reading?
No, this is not about the decline of the occident, just a note about a curiosity in academic philosophy. Philosophy is a discipline in which reading is a key competence, not least in that philosoph…

🌊 Waves are weird: Make the tiniest change to the initial state of their particles, and they might evolve in vastly different ways — bumps and eddies can become rogue waves and tsunamis.
The Hidden Math of Ocean Waves Crashes Into View | Quanta Magazine
The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major advances toward understanding it.

"The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it's to imagine what is possible." --bell hooks, outside Theater Bellevue, Amsterdam
"The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it's to imagine what is possible" in red letters on a mirrored glass door. The quote is from bell hooks, “Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations,” 2012.

Apparently Cormac McCarthy (author of The Road and No Country for Old Men) was a big fan of Wittgenstein and read (and annotated) Penelope Maddy’s Realism in Mathematics:

Bin gerade in Amsterdam, und immer, wenn ich in einer größeren Stadt bin, die KEINE deutsche ist, muss ich daran denken, dass wir aufgrund unseres Autofetischismus für immer dazu verdammt sind, in kackhässlichen und menschenfeindlichen Städten zu leben.
Man sieht einen Gehweg mit kleinen Beeten, alles ist grün zugesichert, dort steht auch ein Fahrrad Straßen mit viel Grün, keine parkenden Autos, dafür Fahrräder Am Kanal; gegenüber ist ein kleines Haus inmitten größerer, davor liegt ein Boot an Eine Katze versteckt sich hinter einem Poller; neben ihr sind Fahrräder

Don’t know who made this but thank you
Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

Heute vor 65 Jahren sind meine Großeltern mit meiner Mutter im Bauch und mit meiner Tante, die damals noch ein Baby war, aus der DDR geflohen, weil mein Opa es nicht ertragen hat, die Kinder als Lehrer indoktrinieren zu müssen. Ihm wurde hier nichts anerkannt, er musste alles nochmal studieren.

Worth reading about humans and their usage of truth production techniques
