@… Best kind.

The best thing about blogging is that I take things out of my head, which is full, and put them somewhere else.
The second best thing about blogging is that I meet more interesting people when I do it.

Got bullied* into doing some yoga and chilling out instead.
All good though. Now I am beered up and ready to write!

Phenomenologies of Religious Experience
This series invites proposals in classical phenomenology, French phenomenology, pre- and post-phenomenologies, and in methodologies that bridge phenomenology and analytic philosophy. The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense); ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive, or regulative ideal, of religion); analogical (phenomenological …

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

@… I definitely would enjoy learning more about this stuff. Do you have any good places to start?

@… It's a whole new team now, isn't it? Makes me sad that it didn't work out. I agree that their editor was a pain but I think it was a pain in the right direction.

@… @… There is so much right about this that I don't know where to start.
The only worry I have is that it sounds hard for someone else to create a competing implementation, and I think that we need more of that from our…

Wer wissen will, was so schwierig an der Energiewende ist, sollte einfach mal versuchen, so ein Mieterstrom-Modell für Solaranlagen zu verstehen.
Man darf den Strom nicht einfach so nutzen. Man braucht einen „Enabler“, der einem den Strom abkauft und dann wieder zurückverkauft.
Und das soll die neue, vereinfachte Variante sein, bei der man kein Unternehmen mehr gründen muss, um sich selbst den Strom zu verkaufen.

AI and the Ends of Humanity: Thinking Theologically after ChatGPT
The advent of increasingly sophisticated and potentially autonomous forms of artificial intelligence poses a challenge to understandings of the human place in the cosmos in ways perhaps as profound as the Copernican Revolution.  And while artificial general intelligence is not yet and may never be a reality, digital technologies are already introducing powerful new possibilities for deception, surveillance, and bias, exacerbating polarization, and changing the meaning of intimacy, care, creati…

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath steel'd,
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is best painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictur'd lies,
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes hav…

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…
