A bit superficial, but the content is worth mentioning... www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1L1...

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

This text is truly fantastic. And it helps me understand why I have such difficulties with the presentation and didactics of the whole subject in introductory philosophy courses... and I love how analogies with music are used here to illustrate reading as a social practice.

My inaugural lecture is now called Antrittsvorlesung, but you're cordially invited anyway:

Just found a very interesting book by #AndrewBerish: Hating Jazz: A History of Its Disparagement, Mockery, and Other Forms of Abuse. I will definitely read this book it could give me insights into the human nature of hatred. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Bin gerade in Amsterdam, und immer, wenn ich in einer größeren Stadt bin, die KEINE deutsche ist, muss ich daran denken, dass wir aufgrund unseres Autofetischismus für immer dazu verdammt sind, in kackhässlichen und menschenfeindlichen Städten zu leben.

Don’t know who made this but thank you

Heute vor 65 Jahren sind meine Großeltern mit meiner Mutter im Bauch und mit meiner Tante, die damals noch ein Baby war, aus der DDR geflohen, weil mein Opa es nicht ertragen hat, die Kinder als Lehrer indoktrinieren zu müssen. Ihm wurde hier nichts anerkannt, er musste alles nochmal studieren.

After the news of the collapse of the negotiations, we became more afraid of the dark future. What will happen to us? It seems that they have taken a license to kill us all. Please, we are scared. Do not forget us.😔🙏 chuffed.org/project/save...
