Just as with many tech addictions, the biggest risk of AI might be that it isolates us from other humans.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Even the acquisition of knowledge is often much facilitated by the advantages of society: he that never compares his notions with those of others, readily acquiesces in his first thoughts, and very seldom discovers the objections which may be raised against his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks himself in possession of truth, when he is only fondling an errour long since exploded. He that has neither companions nor rivals in his studies, will always applaud his own progress, and think highly of his performances, because he knows not that others have equalled or excelled him. And I am afraid it may be added, that the student who withdraws himself from the world, will soon feel that ardour extinguished which praise or emulation had enkindled, and take the advantage of secrecy to sleep, rather than to labour.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

“We will join forces like never before, because we believe that this is the best way to make our people & our countries prosper.”

A quotation from C. S. Lewis

   No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
   At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
A Grief Observed, ch. 1 (1961)

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 113: Eating and Social Isolation
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2422624/

Do you eat alone, or with others? Is it by choice, or are your commensality options dictated by your social condition, your domestic situation, your access to shared space? https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v4i2.220

Eating is both a unifier and divider in our food cultures, and the spaces in which we do it can both support connection-making and reinforce isolation. This episode focuses on an audio artwork by Mélanie Binette—a sound installation in a Montréal community restaurant called “Invité.e.s Invisible.s”—intended to help solo eaters connect.

Plus, Alexia Moyer shares two other soundscapes and their implications for sociability, while Samphe Ballamingie responds poetically to Mélanie’s artistic intervention.

Frage: PCR-Test im #Krankenhaus #Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, #Viruslast
Positiver Schnelltest und deshalb #Isolation seit 22.12.2025! Keine Symptome…
Nach negativem Schnelltest erfolgten mehrere PCR-Tests. (Mitpatientin mit Symptomen ist seit zwei Wochen in die Häuslichkeit entlassen.)
Letzter Ct-Wert 38, angeblich noch zu hohes Ansteckungsrisiko!
Wirklich?
Heute sollte Entlassung in die Kurzzeitpflege erfolgen. Das wurde verschoben, weil erneut getestet wurde und das Ergebnis abgewartet wird. 🤨
