Universality means human rights belong to everyone, everywhere, without exception.
When rights are denied to one, they are weakened for all.

We did a decent job of explaining #universality & how the BBC is funded in the @demos-uk.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy #OurBBC paper, but I wish to god I had been able to include this from @jimmoir1.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy & @bobmort.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy:

"In each #movie, some bid for #universality trumps the representation of #Jewish experience, leaving behind a peculiar #Jew-shaped hole: The #stories are about us, but we’re not in them.
I would hate to think that this is because we have, in recent years, been deemed too problematic, too difficult to relate to or hard to like, for mainstream consumption. You could, of course, make a case that what we’re seeing is precisely the opposite — that this erasure actually represents some triumph of #assimilation and acceptance. What followed that midcentury efflorescence of Jewish visibility, after all, was a period during which parts of the Jewish experience were absorbed into the mainstream, until millions of #Americans could watch #TV shows steeped in Jewish #humor and sensibilities..."

Why I’m No Longer a Taylor Swift Fan

@cas Oh, thxthx for the careful response! :blobcatfluffhappy:
So first of all, I did not say or imply that complexity is a completely or even a net negative thing. After all, there’s a reason we’re all in the FOSS communities in some form or another, and it’s how it allows anyone to participate in diverse ways of achieving similar goals, then finding common ground and sharing efforts, as you mention with pmOS. Very irregularly, rather chaotically (for better! or worse!), but it does happen. The main problems I got are with the margin of improvement for cooperation (via standardization, shared codebases and stacks, etc), as well with how the politics behind it all are translated into choice complexity for the newcomer — and thus liability that they ideally shouldn’t have. Opinionated projects are very much positive if not inevitable (otherwise you’re stuck with the contradictory goals of #neutrality and #universality, potentially grinding things to a halt or forcing to change course), and I’m not gonna nod along the “just do a single project” fallacy. It’s just that I think the community should accept and embrace collaboration, tradeoffs and consensus when it makes sense… so it’s good to know that there’s already some momentum towards that! :blobcateyes:
…hopefully everyone will indeed do their best. I know how discouragement and conflict can arise even between well-meaning parts (communication, ideals, personal lives…), let alone when not everyone’s on the same page ( :wooznix: ). But yeah, if that’s the case I do believe governance and results will follow and be much more empowering than just handing over that responsibility to Google or some other BDFL instead.
(P.S.: yeah I know the Linux stack consensus isn’t absolute, the “somewhat” wasn’t just about fd.o! :blobcatgooglyheadache: )

Explore the intersection of data mining and many-body physics with Dr. Marcello Dalmonte from the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and his first lecture of the 7-part series 'Data Mining the Many-body Problem.' Marcello is eager to answer your questions on Enabla, so don’t miss the chance to deepen your understanding through direct interaction!

Abstract: In this lecture, we focus on the intersection of data mining and the many-body problem, within the framework of statistical mechanics. We outline our motivations for leveraging advances in computational techniques to analyze large datasets generated by complex physical systems. We discuss concepts of universality across diverse fields and how they can inform our understanding of data structures. By exploring lattice models such as the two-dimensional Ising one, we aim to uncover universal behaviors that bridge physics and data science through innovative methodologies like unsupervised learning. This course seeks to equip participants with tools that highlight shared characteristics among seemingly disparate phenomena and are interested in understanding the many-body problem in terms of high-dimensional geometry concepts.

Just read a very interesting paper on Artificial Intelligence by Edlyn V. Levine, PhD called "Cargo Cult AI" in the latest Communications of the ACM (09/2023, pp.46, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3606946). She argues that intelligence requires being capable of doing certain things, such as establishing universality, nondeterminism, and causal inference.

“So when philosophy examines politics it cannot, to begin with, be along the line of pure #freedom, and certainly not a freedom of opinions. It deals with the question, what could be the political #truth? Or, what is politics when it obeys the following two principles; first, compatibility with the philosophical principle of the #equality of minds; second, compatibility with the philosophical principle of the subordination of the validity of opinions to #universality of #truths. So equality and universality are the characteristics of valid politics in the field of philosophy.”

The #IFLA Governing Board 2021-23 reaffirms its decision to hold the 2024 World Library and Information Congress in Dubai.
For me, the last two paragraphs of the message from IFLA are relevant. In particular, the question of how to reconcile #universality and #inclusiveness with #diversity. And then with the perhaps rather philosophical consideration of whether true universality and inclusiveness (can) exist.
