Thank you for sharing this overview of different traditions in social learning systems Doug.

💬 The Old Disturbance

2024/03/02

Great narrative allows for that intimate relation with the reader, and while it was hard to manage at times, I was also strangely comforted by this frank confession from a fictional character in depressed, post-war England. Antonella calls it bibliotherapy, and I think she got that term from Schopenhauer’s notes on aging with dignity, so … Continue reading "💬 The Old Disturbance" The post 💬 The Old Disturbance first appeared on Read Write Collect.

Identity isn’t static; it’s a complex tapestry woven from personal and professional experiences, qualifications, personality traits, and values. Context and role responsibilities also play a significant role in shaping who we are.

To be clear, I’m not against LLMs which are openly auditable providing quick answers to questions and to make the civil service more efficient. I am against the reductionist ‘logic’ of replacing civil servants with a black box which makes shit up.

2024/03/02

All of this cartoonish villainry is the totally foreseeable consequence of a culture of impunity, in which companies like HP and KPMG can rob, cheat, steal (and sometimes even kill) without consequence. This impunity is so pervasive that the exceptions – where a rich criminal faces real consequences – become touchstones: Enron, Arthur Anderson, Theranos, … Continue reading "🤔 Pluralistic: Brinkwhump Linkdump (02 Mar 2024)" The post 🤔 Pluralistic: Brinkwhump Linkdump (02 Mar 2024) first
