Limitarianism — could a cap on wealth reduce inequality? - ABC listen
When a company CEO can be paid 1,000 times the average employee's salary it's probably time to take a long hard look at wealth inequality. And those calling for the rich to pay more aren't always the ones you'd expect – Patriotic Millionaires is a group of mega rich individuals demanding greater, not lesser taxation. Then there's the Dutch philosopher urging ordinary citizens to put a cap on their own personal wealth. She calls her approach Limitarianism. Also, Rewilding the Internet – how …

In related Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences news, it is true - about half of the scholarly associations moved off McGill.
The Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID-ACEDI) was amongst the first to move its conference from McGill to l'Université du Québec Š Montréal (UQAM) thanks to the diligent work of the executive.
A real shame and loss for McGill.

It showcases musical instruments from across the continent and also has a night of musical performances.
Amazing and at the Old Port!

On the values of commutativity degree of Lie algebras
In this paper, the possible values of commutativity degree of Lie algebras are determined. Also, we define the asymptotic commutativity degree of Lie algebras and obtain the asymptotic commutativity degree for some of them. Moreover, we prove the existence of a family of Lie algebras such that the asymptotic commutativity degree is equal to 1\qk for all q greater than 2 and a positive integer k.

Excited to share the insightful papers for the panel I organised on 'Epistemic Justice and the Knowledge Commons' with the incredible scholars Katherine Blouin, Girish Daswani, Blane Harvey, Julia Paulson, and humbly, me.
We presented at the 2024 CASID-ACEDI Conference on global development as part of the Congress of the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences.
It was great to be back in Montreal!
