One of the saddest slogans ever: Make America great again.
America always was great. It was the land of our dreams.
Since Trump, it's a nightmare.
America was our friend.
Now, it's who we thougt to be our adversaries who speak the truth and you can't believe anything that Trump says.
Our world is changing.

Do your dreams have smells? New study on 'blind minds' reveals vast differences in imagination
It's common to think we all have similar experiences of life. But the more we learn about other people's hidden thoughts, the more evidence there is that this is untrue. For instance, not everyone has the same ability to have imagined sensations. Most people can visualize—they can have imagined experiences of seeing people and scenes that aren't there. But not everyone can.

Well, thanks for the dreams I guess

Just finished "A Deepness in the Sky" by Vernor Vinge. A fascinating and epic science fiction novel with fascinating ideas about technology and also future societies. As I'm delving into a lot of sci fi looking for social imagination it's a good find in some ways but disappointing in others. The Qeng Ho culture is interesting, but their society is uninspiring; Vinge's rosy view of "trade" is not one I completely share, and their hierarchies and wealth accumulation are less compatible with their freedoms in my imagination than in Vinge's. That said, his perspective on the possibilities of galactic-scale civilization and the idea of the "age of failed dreams" are fascinating, especially right now, and his detailed ideas about programming, AI, automaton, and "Focus" are extremely relevant right now. Ultimately I didn't love some parts of the dénouement, and there's a lot of "great man theory of history" going on, including (only somewhat ameliorated) a focus on men over women. Vinge's damsels in distress have a lot more agency than usual for the role, but with the exception of Victory Sr. and Jr., the damsels are very much in distress, and Victory Sr. gets overshadowed a lot by Underhill.
It definitely helps one expand their imagination of what long-term and large-scale human existence could look like, which is great and no easy feat, and both the technologies that are written in and those written out are extremely convincing. The only thing I didn't find compelling was the transposition of capitalism onto such space and time scales. It's a very standard feature of sci fi from the last few decades, and I'm sure most readers don't question it, but I've become someone who can no longer imagine "capitalism across the stars" without questioning how realistic it is that its self-destructive tendencies could possibly last even a few more centuries, let alone succeed at interstellar travel.
One last extremely fascinating thing: how closely the strengths and weaknesses of Focus track with the strengths and weaknesses of modern generative AI. That, and the way that the "age of failed dreams" idea can help people imagine beyond generative AI in a positive way.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, is making his dreams come true:
accelerating the arrest and removal of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant kids.
The man behind family separation in the first Trump term
who once boasted that policy would “prove to be a migration deterrent”
has now teamed up with another deadly threat,
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
to attack the most vulnerable kids in our country:
-- those here on their own.
By law…

Stephen Miller's secret campaign against helpless kids
That it's happening in the shadows doesn't make it less of a moral blight.

If dreams mean something then some of my dreams are wild. I fear for the day any of them come to fruition.
