Hoarding syndrome is considered a psychiatric condition, not a crisis for democracy itself
-- with one giant exception:
When people with hoarding syndrome are born with or come into massive wealth
-- suddenly what was once a personal, psychiatric issue can become a crisis for all of society.
It happens every few generations.
It’s what drove the fascist oligarchs of the Confederacy to reach out and try to conquer the entire United States in the 1860s.

The Billionaire Hoarders: How the Wealthy Became Our Biggest Threat
How a sick obsession is killing workers, democracy, and our planet.

Da gehst du mit einer lieben Freundin ins Kino und schaust dir Gary Hustwits eigens für diese Vorstellung generierten Brian-Eno-Film an, und am nächsten, sonnigen Morgen erwachst du mit dem Ohrwurm "Sepp bleib do, du woast jo ned wia's Weda wiad".

Besonders schön ist der #Klimawandel in der #Schweiz für #Schafe. Sie bekommen tolle #Rundflüge

"CEOs born in future Superfund sites are more likely to be promoted internally, suggesting firms reward observed success without recognizing underlying risk tolerance."

The global communication pathways of the human brain transcend the cortical-subcortical-cerebellar division
Neural communication across the cortex, subcortex, and cerebellum is orchestrated by the structural connectome, forming the indispensable anatomical framework for capabilities spanning from elementary motor actions to higher cognitive functions. Yet, despite this importance, the core organizational rules that govern this connectivity remain insufficiently understood. Here we show, for the first time, how the integrated cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar brain areas shape the structural archi…

Toward Effective AI Governance: A Review of Principles
Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance is the practice of establishing frameworks, policies, and procedures to ensure the responsible, ethical, and safe development and deployment of AI systems. Although AI governance is a core pillar of Responsible AI, current literature still lacks synthesis across such governance frameworks and practices. Objective: To identify which frameworks, principles, mechanisms, and stakeholder roles are emphasized in secondary literature on AI governance. Method: We…

Effect of positronium on the $γ$-ray spectra and energy deposition in Type Ia supernovae
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powered by the radioactive decay of isotopes such as $^{56}$Ni and $^{56}$Co, making their $γ$-ray spectra useful probes of the explosion mechanism and ejecta structure. Accurate interpretation of $γ$-ray observables, including line ratios and continuum fluxes, requires a detailed understanding of the microphysical processes that shape the spectra. One such process is positronium formation during electron-positron annihilation, which can redistribute flux from …

Re: the last boost. While the thread is inspired by US universities, it _absolutely_ applies to Canadian post-secondary institutions too.
"A safe space to be uncomfortable" would be a great university motto.
