All Those Winter Words

I'm thinking about what it means to know that daylight will last a little longer every day until Summer Solstice, but the weather will get colder before the change in light seems to make a difference. I consider what seeds I'll plant--botanical and metaphorical--and which will grow and thrive.

(1/3) What do practices look like on fieldwork?

For our research team, we use a combination of methods and second-order to inspire fresh perspectives on historical , the natural , and past identities in ☀️🤖💡 We “explore the emotions, sensations, and lived experiences of us as researchers and the researched (telegraph workers, surveyors, repeater stations, railway lines etc.).”

But how do we do this? …⬇️⬇️

Two hand drawn maps of the overland telegraph line through Australia. The bottom one is a sketch of gibber plains with key sites such as Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta, and Strangways Springs. The top one is a map with prose “we joke about songs we will write, the ballads of dirt and dynamite, over the crackle of walkie talkies. We follow the lines on the map and off the map again, chasing shadows of the nineteenth century and men we can never meet, even though we talk about them like admired friends and bosses we never had. We wash red earth off our hands and faces everyday, and everyday there is more. We see the signs everywhere - poles, insulators, track, tree stumps - as we call the names down the wire - beltana, strangways, the Peake. We call other names too - Araban, Arrernte, Adamanye. We are connected through this country, those lines, these stories, that time.”

John Bunyan, Puritan preacher, writes on a life of righteousness. Have you shown more mercy to a dog, an enemy, or a pig, than the poor? Has the person who claims to righteousness ever clothed a naked person? Have they have taken delight in being defrauded?

Would today’s disciples of Bunyan take delight in being defrauded?

Should we consider if we care more about animals than people?

How can you suffer for righteousness sake?

JOHN BUNYAN (1628 - 1688) "What it is to Suffer for Righteousness' Sake" "How is it, dost thou show most mercy to thy dog, or to thine enemy, to thy swine, or to the poor? Whose naked body hast thou clothed? Whose hungry belly hast thou fed? Hast thou taken delight in being defrauded and beguiled?"

4E-Kognitionswissenschaft und Transsexualität verstehen (2)

Verkörperte Kognition (
#embodied)

Verkörperte Kognition bedeutet, dass Denken und Fühlen untrennbar mit dem Körper verbunden sind. Unser Körper ist nicht bloß ein Behälter für das Gehirn, sondern beeinflusst aktiv, wie wir die Welt wahrnehmen und wer wir sind. Für trans Personen spielt das Körpererleben eine zentrale Rolle für ihre geschlechtliche Existenz. Beispielsweise kann eine trans Frau in der Pubertät spüren, dass bestimmte körperliche Merkmale (etwa eine tiefe Stimme oder Bartwuchs) sich „falsch“ anfühlen. Dieses Unbehagen zeigt, wie eng Geist und Körper verwoben sind. Kleidung und Aussehen sind weitere leibkörperliche Ausdrucksformen: Wenn eine Person Kleidung trägt, die ihrem erlebten Geschlecht entspricht, kann das sofort ihr Wohlbefinden steigern (Kongruenzdynamik). Ein rein kognitives Modell, das nur innere Überzeugungen betrachtet, könnte schwer erklären, warum körperliche Veränderungen (wie Hormonbehandlungen oder das Tragen eines Brustbinders) oft enorme psychische Erleichterung bringen. Ein verkörperter Ansatz hingegen versteht sofort, dass der Körper selbst Teil des Denkens und Fühlens ist. So wird zum Beispiel berichtet, dass Geschlechtsausdruck über den Körper – etwa durch Kleidung, Frisur oder Stimme – bei trans Personen ständig in Interaktion mit ihrem inneren Empfinden steht. Verkörperte Kognition hilft, die starre Trennung von „Körper“ und „Geist“ aufzubrechen. Für trans Personen bedeutet das: Ihre geschlechtliche Existenz speist sich auch aus dem leiblichen Erleben. Wenn geschlechtlicher Körper und
#geschlechtsleibliches Empfinden besser übereinstimmen, fühlt sich die Person ganzheitlicher und wohler in ihrer Haut (#Kongruenzdynamik).

4E-Kognitionswissenschaft und Transsexualität verstehen (1)

Die 4E-Kognitionswissenschaft beschreibt, dass unser Denken und Erleben verkörpert (
#embodied), eingebettet (#embedded), enaktiv (#enactive) und erweitert (#extended) ist. Anders als rein kognitive Modelle (die mentale Prozesse nur „im Kopf“ sehen) oder rein biologische Modelle (die alles auf Gene oder Hormone reduzieren), betont der #4E-Ansatz das Zusammenspiel von Geist, Körper und Umwelt. Gerade für das Verständnis von Transsexualität bzw. #trans Personen (Menschen, die Sehnsucht empfinden in einer anderen geschlechtliche Existenz zubleben) in der Geschlechterforschung ist dieser ganzheitliche Blick besonders hilfreich. Im Folgenden versuche ich die vier „E“ einzeln zu erklären – jeweils mit anschaulichen Beispielen –, um zu zeigen, wie sie geschlechtsleibliches Erleben/geschlechtsleibliche Existenz und die sozialen Herausforderungen von trans Personen erfassen.

I'm also reading #afropessimism by Frank B. Wilderson and I'm seeing how we play roles that are ingrained (#embodied 😉 to Resmaa Menakem) over the centuries of slavery--including the #ritualizedviolence against #black folk and brown folk--including #selfharm and #antiblack violence directed at other #black folk 4/n

Reminder that #AI would understand the world better if it was #embodied: arstechnica.com/science/2025/0

It’s been my conviction since I learned of #developmental #robotics, around 2012. Since early 2000’s they explored this in the #Sony CSL in #Paris, with the famous #aibo.

Check out Luc Steels’ "Talking Heads", Pierre-Yves Oudeyer’s "Aux sources de la parole" for an exciting take on #intelligence. Robotics at #Google X was all about that. As machines get better at learning, it’s good to try again!

Gustav Friedrich Oehler, a German scholar, writes on the morality of the day (in 2 Kings 15): heathen superstitions, luxury, and oppression of the poor, which increased with riches.

Today, we believe that a “Rising tide lifts all boats.”

How can you strive for personal morality, avoid superstitions, and use riches for the embetterment of the poor?

GUSTAV FRIEDRICH OEHLER (1812-1872) Theology of the Old Testament "Still, notwithstanding the general adherence of Uzziah and Jotham to the theocratic ordinances, 2 Kings XV. 3, 34, the moral and religious condition of the people was not satisfactory. Luxury, pride, and oppression of the poor increased together with power and riches, while heathen superstitions and other foreign customs were at the same time disseminated."

I bought a little robot named Moxie to help our autistic son with social skills. The company that makes it is closing down, so the developers have open sourced a server to let users keep using the robot.

Decided to launch the local server on a Synology NAS:

Mein persönlicher Tipp für den #Weihnachtsgeschenke-Einkauf jetzt zum 3. Advent: Am besten nicht zu viel Geld für #IoT Devices ausgeben:
"Startup Embodied is closing down, and its product, an $800 robot for kids ages 5 to 10, will soon be bricked."
"But soon, none of those features will be available, making the pricey children’s toy virtually useless. According to #Embodied, #Moxie can’t perform core functionality without cloud connectivity."

#Startup #Embodied Will Brick $800 Moxie #EmotionalSupport #Robot for Kids—Without Refunds

Embodied says it will try to refund recent purchases of its #Moxie robot but makes no promises.

Companies that can’t secure funding shouldn’t make promises to kids needing emotional support.

All AI partner apps should be cautious about playing in this space.
