Apart from political discussions for and against "AI"--which often miss the point--we're talking of: What kind of worldview, and view of the human being, are we presenting to each other including pupils at schools--are we saying: humans are beyond the machine; dialogues and relationships are more than just 'an interface'; and the world isn't an algorithm? Lo and behold, I think we are seeing more worldview discussion than ever.

The University for #HumanisticStudies/ UvH joins the NLRN as an institutional member!

At the NLRN, we want to make a range of epistemic voices heard in the discussion around #reproducibility and #replicability of #science and #scholarship. With their research portofolio focusing on #worldviews and humane societies, the UvH complements the voices of the other, more technical and generalistic institutions TU Delft, TU/e, RUG and escience Center.

If we're not sure why #worldviews matter consider the influence of Christianity, Islam, Sanatana Dharma, Buddhism, Yoruba, Sikhism, Judaism, Humanism...

Now imagine the #sentientism worldview's potential impacts via: "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings".

HappyNewYear 💚

Why do #worldviews matter?

Because they steer every decision taken by those with power and influence (humans... & maybe AIs too) - for good or ill .

Make sure you pick a good one - if you're allowed. Like #Sentientism's "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings".

Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse?
From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names.

"Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.

I was at the KFC, and my phone was unlocked with Maimi Yajima's photo as wallpaper. Then a guy at the side saw the pic and asked what movies she made. He said "she looks like a porn star". She is just a TV celeb.
I fucking hate their minds.

There are two popular schools of thought, which are violently opposed to each other.
They are both wrong.

School A: There is only one Truth, and I know what it is.
School B: There are an infinite number of Truths, and they are all valid. (Or, to put it another way, there are zero truths, and everything is Just An Opinion.)

My Unpopular View: There is only one Truth, and I am attempting to refine my approximation of it.

“The larger the [climate] crisis grows, the more kinds of change become inevitable. The worse things get, the narrower our options.

The narrower, too, grow the options of our children and future descendents. Our job is not to decide the future, but to leave the future as many options as possible.”

“Being a good ancestor means leaving open doors to a wider number of good futures.”

One of my favorite parts of Mastodon is that if you scroll long enough on top posts the languages change. Makes me feel a part of a larger world community than just hanging in America land.

I just published Intelligence Vs Wisdom: Or why can’t we have both?

I also learned the hard way that Medium doesn't let you put mathematical equations into your blog, using LaTeX or otherwise.

(Maybe I will just draw and photograph next time)

"Absolutely loved the Sentientism discussion. Ironically, as teachers we don’t learn enough new stuff! Can’t wait to implement it."

« We cannot live in a world interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a hope. Part of the terror is to take back our listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light. »

― Hildegard von Bingen

Thomas Watson, Puritan minister, writing on mercy, considers various people in need. The orphan and widow cry out in tears. Help the unemployed. Be eyes to blind & feet to lame. Whole families may sink if no one shores them up.

(Not too many, “I told you so” lectures are being advocated by Watson).

How can you show mercifulness today?

I have enjoyed my second week of mobility exchange between #aboakademi and #sámiallaskuvla Learning about #sami #faith #worldviews #indigenoustheology and #colonialism Materials included #elsalaularenberg and a documentary on #svtplay Kan man rädda ett folk? Which I recommend warmly

The culture clash goes on: “Today, data from the Commerce Department showed that the U.S. economy grew at an astonishing rate of 4.9% in the third quarter, and we learned that in Lewiston, Maine, a single shooter killed at least 18 people—more people than died by gun homicide in Maine in the whole of 2021—and injured at least 13 others. 

These two things are the results of two dramatically different worldviews.”
