Society has lost its direction. We are now driving blind, and the reason is reductionism. We’ve become so obsessed with breaking the world into tiny parts that we’ve forgotten how the whole thing actually hangs together.

Too Narrow to Be Wise: The Tunnel Vision Trap of Modern Expertise
We live in a Kafkaesque paradox: the very people we turn to for wisdom about life’s biggest questions—meaning, society, the future of humanity—are systematically selected for their inability to think about such things. Consider this absurd pattern: A tech entrepreneur optimizes engagement algorithms for maximum user addiction,

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset #deafness (in cats) nature.com/articles/s41598-026

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset deafness - Scientific Reports
When deprived of a sensory modality, the brain often compensates with supranormal performance in other intact systems. While this compensatory plasticity is typically attributed to early sensory loss, plasticity following adult-onset sensory loss remains poorly understood despite its clinical relevance. In many patients, adult-onset hearing loss precedes treatment by cochlear implantation, yet little is known about the neural changes occurring before this intervention. The present study examine…

The Galileo Moment
Every major intellectual revolution has a Galileo moment: when the object of inquiry becomes clear, the method takes shape, and the formal language adequate to carry the new questions is still being forged. Newton and Leibniz didn't find calculus waiting for them. The questions Galileo opened called it into existence.

And another #superbOwl
Eastern Screech Owl. December 2025

Closeup photo of an Eastern Screech Owl sitting on a gloved human hand. Mottled brown and tan feathers, dark background. This little one is a rescue at the Northern Colorado Raptor rehab center, recovering from injuries sustained being hit by a car, a common occurrence for raptors of all sizes. Although fully recovered she cannot be returned to the wild because her injuries mean she can’t fly well enough to survive. Instead she’s an ambassador, and goes on field trips with the rescue crew when …

There is a cauliflower hash brown on that plate. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I adore cauliflower. Sparky doesn't like cauliflower but he might so he needs to get into the small space between my lap and the table to make sure. Usually we shut them out when we eat but I was home alone yesterday, a rare occurrence, and risked it.

The Shared Delusion: Both doomers and dreamers assume current technology leads to AGI. They’re both wrong
Excel didn’t kill accountants; it gave them better tools. Yet, with AI, we’ve abandoned this logic in favor of a collective fantasy. We’re treating a sophisticated calculator as a human replacement rather than a human multiplier. The reason for this shift is the "2-to-5-year" horizon. For decades,
