It’s worse than that- walking routes involving steep hill are regularly described as mainly flat. It’s as if it is anathema to map and report reality because the holy carriage of the motor is the only true way

For decades, urban walkers have been treated like vehicles, with mapping tools optimising routes for a single metric – travel time – while treating a dark alley and a high street as identical, if the distance is the same.

Is there an underlying issue here that needs a new term? Context avoidance. Never ask about the relationships between what you are doing and the real world

It's very important that scholars ensure they never have any material impact on the world. Ideally, findings should also be published years after they are relevant to contemporary events.

Palantir is hand in glove with the Trump administration, which is riddled with Russian assets..
It's likely that any sensitive UK military data the Trump administration gets its hands on will be passed on to Putin.
It's absolutely insane to put Palantir technology at the heart of UK defence.
