Halituksen arvosana yhteiskunnallisessa insinööriosaamisessa on heikko.. Yhtenä syynä tähän on, että sosiaalitieteet ovat ajautuneet kauas yhteiskunnan keskiöstä. Se pitää korjata.

Writing is so hard! When I delete big chunks of text, I save them to a Scrap Bits document in case I need them later. My Scrap Bits document for the current paper I'm working on is now longer than the actual paper! 😵‍💫

a tragic side of an otherwise happy childhood is that I never got to play #d&d. Completely my own fault, wasn’t brave enough to hang out with the nerdy kids. Now I’m more in touch with my own geekiness, and I guess this would be as good a time to start as any…. +

New piece w/ James Evans in Science explores what we call 'science after science', an era where our ability to control nature may exceed our ability to understand it; a new struggle to sustain curiosity & understanding under AI's predictive dominance. #ai #science

I want to hear & read art in our words. Our art.

I want to recognise & aspire to true talent. To write as wittily as Christopher Hitchens, as hauntingly as Stephan Zweig, as intoxicatingly as Nizar Qabbani, because I have honed my soul in the shape of greatness.

Not because I’ve clicked a button.

Another plug for my paper on *why multiculturalism is good for women* (which is also the title). It is open access in a very nice interdiciplinary journal Ethnicities that combines normative and empirical work on ethnicity and politics.
Here is another foray into political philosophy. I argue that because gender identity and hierarchies are fundamentally cultural, so is gender emancipation and equality. And since not all girls, women and non-binary belong to majorities, multiculturalism is good for women.

Sitä voisi ajatella, että kun julkisella rahalla ostetaan atk-hommia, niin olisi järkevää käyttää se avoimeen lähdekoodiin eikä syytää rahaa vain amerikkalaisille jättiyhtiöille.

Pyydettiin @otsokivekas.bsky.social kertomaan, mikä homman nimi oikeasti on: vikasietoti.la/2025/11/s06e...
Voiko avoin koodi pelastaa julkiset IT-hankinnat?

Tää on ihan älytöntä. Miten tää koko homma on voinut mennä näin vihkoon? (Retorinen kysymys, johon ei tarvitse vastata. Tiedän taustat.)

Kävi Vanhalle miten kävi, toivottavasti siitä ei tehdä esim. hotellia 😏
