What is happening in Brazil, and why do these elections matter so much? We asked a philosopher, a social scientist, a journalist and an organizer.

it would break every Rothko-haters brain if they began to understand that this is precisely the phenomenon that governs all his great paintings
colours are not "things" they are RELATIONS and those relations in turn change the "things" in the relation

Tbh Rly no reason to share any music/art/design /fashion/any cultural recs on here at all anymore, everything immediately gets used as a data point and distorted thru the SV tech lens. So sad what's happened. I miss the internet

Terence Tao made a very powerful point:
“In most cases in pure mathematics, the problems are posed not because we desperately want the solution to these problems in and of themselves, but because we have seen from past experience that human-directed efforts to solve these problems tend to spur further development of the field through the efforts to solve such problems, and then to digest any partial or complete solutions that emerge for further insights.
Prematurely solving the problem by purely AI-powered methods—particularly without full transparency into the solution process—can contaminate this process to the point where it actually becomes a net negative for the progress of mathematics as a whole.”
I’ve been following Terence Tao for like 20 years, and I have always been impressed by the clarity of his thinking.
This clarity stands out even more in this difficult moment, as AI labs turn mathematics into a battleground in their race for supremacy.
In this race, they risk damaging one of humanity’s highest intellectual endeavours.

Here is my take on fitness and socialism: socialism is mostly about whether or not we should nationalize industry

The home of Danish privacy activist Lars Andersen was raided by masked police forces after he published his 'two favourite numbers', a 10 digit and a 8 digit number, spelled out in letters; it were the social security and phone number of Mette Frederiksen, the Prime Minister of Denmark, who wants to ban encryption (CSA) and introduce mass surveillance.
"Rules for thee, but not for me..."

Make no mistake: The US government will socialize the immense costs of subprime AI. They will force us all to eat the losses, while the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in history abscond to private islands. Be ready, because a deliberate rug-pull is the plan.

Israel is dropping bombs on Beaufort Castle — one of South Lebanon’s most historic landmarks.
A 900-year-old site with UNESCO’s highest protection status under the Hague Convention.
Israel isn’t just mass murdering civilians.
It is erasing South Lebanon stone by stone.

Israel’s land-grab in Lebanon. 81 towns demolished & now evacuation of major cities: Tyre & Nabatieh. 3,200 Lebanese dead, over 1,000,000 displaced.
Why is the world silent? Don’t Lebanese lives matter? Why can Israel act w/impunity?

No state has the right to exist; rights are are for human beings. Humanity has a responsibility to dissolve supremacist genocidal states.

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.
In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.
Monsters.
