Brains are psychological constructs that only exist in the brain. It is the brain that integrates the discrete sensory inputs from the environment, that makes us think that brains exist, when they don't.

Le sport a institutionnalisé l'appropriation culturelle. Exemple de Swiss Olympic:
1) Critères d'adhésion stricts pour les nouveaux sports
2) Ces critères ne s'appliquent pas aux fédérations déjà membres
3) Adhésion exclue pour un sport déjà organisé par un membre

"potentially" doing all the work there
SpaceX wants to use rockets to transport cargo across Earth in a fraction of the time required by ships or planes, potentially reshaping global cargo networks.

Seul le naturalisme permet de rendre compte adéquatement cette foncière dépendance des humains à leur environnement et du couplage des organismes à leurs milieux, ni le surnaturlisme, ni l'animisme ne le peuvent et on se demande bien pourquoi ils sont à nouveau en odeur de sainteté en SHS 🤷‍♂️
Les humains sont foncièrement de et dans la nature ; c'est en y extrayant matériaux et énergie qu'ils produisent des artifices dont ils font les milieux où ils installent leurs modes de vie, qui ne s'arrachent jamais de la nature mais la transforment, l'exploitent et in fine la détruisent.

Evolutionary biologists finally admit that high intelligence does not require making friends. A new octopus study completely dismantles the idea that big brains only evolve for social networking, proving that solitary sea creatures get incredibly smart just by navigating complicated neighborhoods.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis.

But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right.

By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

The Swiss electorate really is the NIMBY final boss.

If they actually do this it will be one of the most spectacular national suicide moments of our age.
About 9.1 million people live in Switzerland. The country will vote on Sunday on whether to take measures to cap its growing population at 10 million. The result could have huge implications for the Swiss economy — and for the composition of the country for decades to come.
How a 10 Million Population Cap Would Change Switzerland
On Sunday, Switzerland will vote on whether to cap its population. The implications for Swiss society and its economy could be huge.

Les bots s'immiscent dans la politique suisse. Un compte facebook avec 1500 followers qui partage depuis des années de la propagande générée par IA en rapport avec les votations. Chercher le nom de cette personne sur internet n'aboutit qu'à ses publications facebook et un compte soundcloud.

Bumble bees can apparently play with balls, count, recognize faces, & perceive rhythm. A new study out today in @science.org argues they can also solve novel tasks spontaneously without explicit training, challenging the idea that such cognitive skills are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates.😲🐝🧪👇

Problem-solving using novel solutions without explicit training is often considered a hallmark of cognitive flexibility. We investigated whether bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) could solve a novel obj...
