Going to make Bloch my pinned post
Only coldness and warmth of concrete anticipation together therefore ensure that neither the path in itself nor the goal in itself are held apart from one another undialectically and so become reified and isolated. And the conditional analysis on the whole historical-situational stretch emerges both as an unmasking of ideologies and as a disenchantment of metaphysical illusion; precisely this belongs to the most useful cold stream of Marxism. Through it Marxist materialism becomes not only the science of conditions, but at the same time the science of struggle and opposition against all ideological inhibitions and concealments of the ultimately decisive conditions, which are always economic. To the warm stream of Marxism, however, belong liberating intention and materialistically humane, humanely materialistic real tendency, towards whose goal all these disenchantments are undertaken. From here the strong appeal to the debased, enslaved, abandoned, belittled human being, from here the appeal to the proletariat as the turntable towards emancipation. The goal remains the naturalization of man, humanization of nature which is inherent in developing matter.

I'd like to take this opportunity to make a categorical statement.

Omer Yaghi finally won his well-deserved chemistry Nobel prize (for being the father of Reticular chemistry.) He’s Palestinian, and the second Arab to win a science Nobel prize after Ahmed Zewail.

Depends on who I am working with.

If it is just me, I usually just commit after a “day” of programming

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.
o9: To give more color on that, Thorfinn’s famous declaration that he has “no enemies” has become a meme in the west—used affectionately, especially during the high-profile rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, through J.Cole reaction images in social media posts, and as a shorthand catchphrase in anime circles. How does it feel to see such a pivotal moment in your story take root in popular culture in this way? Yukimura: (Laughs) First of all, I feel very happy that it has turned into such a phenomenon—my work turning into a meme—because it means that my intention to make what I’m trying to say in the story into a short, compact sentence was successful. People won’t remember if it was a really long sentence or something very complicated. If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

I am re-reading the dialectical biologist again for a thing (despite awkward phrasings here and there; it still got it)
I also forgot that they cited Hessen in the Lysenko chapter. A materialist history of science was something they were all clamoring for!

A few years ago I was a little surprised to see that Richard Seymour and China Mieville where on a panel at about consciousness at HM. I could not go because my panel was at the same time. Mieville's paper is now available here.

This is an awe-inspiring and fascinating study that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. However, the overall framing in terms of "innate versus learned” is unnecessary. The innate versus acquired dichotomy is outdated and has been for a long time. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Learned use of an innate sound-meaning association in birds - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Over 20 species of geographically and phylogenetically diverse bird species produce convergent whining vocalizations towards their respective brood parasites. Model presentation and playback experiments across multiple continents suggest that these learned calls provoke an innate response even among allopatric species.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

NEW: Global Sumud Flotilla says they've detected 20+ unidentified ships on their radar, just 3 nautical miles ahead.

They don't know ID of ships, but concerned of a naval blockade.

"We will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza," they say.

One of my new favorite activities is looking up a German author I like, and inserting the word Zionist at the end of the google search, only to feel immense sadness that it has a 95% positive rate.

God bless the Sumud Flotilla. They are braver than most and God willing the flotillas will continue until the blockade on Gaza which has been in place almost my entire life is finally, permanently lifted.
