“the fair-minded listener could likely find a kernel of truth in each of the stories mentioned above despite their almost comic slantedness.”
“In 1846, former President John Quincy Adams suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. Voters didn’t care. The former U.S. senator from Massachusetts overcame its debilitating effects and was then sent back to Washington”
“The data supports longtime research that shows that Black women receive less than 1% of venture funding”
“the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations.”
I used Chat GPT to give me the sparknotes on these three websites. I’ll vaguely promise to revisit each of them later. Two relate to influencers in the business world, the other a concept.
I grew up during early internet days. I still yearn to turn on a clunky desktop with my big toe, and patiently wait for it to boot. Hell, I’ve even thought of making my laptop’s fingerprint scanner learn my big toe.
“UK drum & bass artist Halogenix posted his concerns about the social-media landscape. ‘I refuse to participate in this relentless game of social-media-driven visibility… The insatiable appetite it creates to be constantly seen is destroying not only my mental health, but the core values and qualities of the [music] culture that I fell in love with.’”
I do not agree with the author. The book he cites references female competition with other females. He brings up #metoo, missing that #metoo was focused on exposing men. His analysis is wacky at best.
“Everything is shades of gray, but there are shades of gray so light as to be very nearly white, and shades of gray so dark as to be very nearly black. Or even if not, we can still compare shades, and say “it is darker” or “it is lighter.””
“But, as many commenters have pointed out and academic studies have shown, trying to eliminate hateful speech by removing individual actors or groups rarely has the intended effect.”
Are allergies caused by toxins, climate change, hate for our mothers or something else? Read this Wired post to not get a straight answer.
“We must face the fact that experts – even the best experts we can find – are often wrong or biased”
With only one-quarter of the sea floor mapped with sonar, it is impossible to know how many seamounts exist… The vast majority—more than 27,000—remain uncharted by sonar.
“Seeing how someone acts in real-time — and when they don't have the opportunity to curate or edit themselves — creates a much more authentic interaction."
“assembly theory provides a consistent and mathematically precise account of the apparent historical contingency of how things get made — why, for example, you can’t develop rockets until you first have multicellular life, then humans, and then civilization and science. There is a particular order in which objects can appear.”
It was in 1557 when the Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde who introduced the equal sign. In “The Whetstone of Witte,” Recorde explainedhis choice of two parallel lines to represent equality, as “nothing could be more equal.” The symbol has since become universally recognized.
Oftentimes the defining difference between the protagonist and the antagonist is that the antagonist did not have enough pain tolerance and allowed the (unbearable physical) suffering in his life to drive him mad.
Brenna Lip (@brennalip), a New York City-based content creator, posted a TikTok in which she admits to attending a surf-and-turf brunch at Columbia University despite not being a student herself. What started off as a harmless ruse, however, soon turned into an eye-opening look into “the hypocrisy of this whole place.”
"Everybody has a pet thing they worry about and say, 'it's oral health' or 'it's suicides' – everyone has something that they're legitimately interested in and want to see more attention to," says John Haaga, who was the director of the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging at NIH, before he retired.
