finally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks

The new tool should be cheaper than the one
it replaces.
2 It should be at least as small in scale as the
one it replaces.
3 It should do work that is clearly and demonstrably
better than the one it replaces.
4 It should use less energy than the one it
replaces.
5 If possible, it should use some form of solar
energy, such as that of the body.
6 It should be repairable by a person of ordinary
intelligence, provided that he or she has
the necessary tools.
7 It should be purchasable and repairable as near
to home as possible.
8 It should come from a small, privately
owned shop or store that will take it back for
maintenance and repair.
9 It should not replace or disrupt anything
good that already exists, and this includes
family and community relationships.

How did Tolkien write so much? The answer is he didn't have two-factor authentication for every aspect of his life

💯 As I tell my students, having AI write your philosophy paper is like sending a robot to the gym for you and expecting to reap the health benefits.

Most academics know that MDPI is not the most reputable publisher but this is particularly grim: a special issue in which 27th of the 28th papers are authored by the two guest editors. www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/spec…

RIP my departmental colleague, Endel Tulving (1927-2023). Such a profound impact on the science of memory in the 20th and 21st centuries. His theoretical contributions will surely endure.
