Para negarse a levantar el secreto bancario, la derecha y sus expertos nos señalaron hasta el cansancio que las bandas criminales usaban efectivo y no hacían transferencias ni usaban el sistema bancario.

La realidad.

Zhejiang University Prof. Li Shi: “China’s low-income population is extremely large, larger than many people might expect…300 million people had monthly incomes of less than 1,000 yuan in 2021, while nearly 98 million had monthly incomes below 500 yuan.”

The illustrations in this book are one of the most shockingly beautiful and thoughtful and evocative I have ever seen. From a publisher that usually does general children's info books with cartoon illustrations. Encountering it as a child is a core memory

En abstracto, la tecnología no es en sí misma una solución a los problemas de la humanidad, como tampoco es un mal en sí; pero, concretamente, no es neutral, porque toma el rostro de quien la concibe, la financia, la regula, la utiliza.

The Economist: “China’s four richest cities (with a combined population of 84m) have a GDP per person that exceeds Japan’s. Its poorest four provinces (population 140m), meanwhile, are closer in income to Vietnam.”

"MGS4 will be more prophetic in 20 years than MGS2. The loss of personal autonomy and anonymity is a greater threat than algorithms and general AI. People are already forced to ID-tag themselves to use many sites and things like Neuralink will cause controlled physical reliance"

Can you reduce all of political philosophy to one diagram?

A pretty good attempt.

41 chapters, "investigates how feudal economic remnants, perpetuated by Chinese landlords, impeded the development of modern national capitalism"

The transformation of the Chinese “elite” since the 1980s has been dramatic. In the 1980s the richest 5 percent were made up of people drawing their incomes from public sector sources. By 2018 private income predominates and the group is far more mixed and dominated by business owners and professionals. This and more featured in the Chartbook Top Links today.

For Karl Marx's birthday, here's G.A. Cohen, the funniest Marxist philosopher — and quite possibly the funniest philosopher — of all time doing his impression of a British philosopher. This is one of his lesser-known, but is also one of his funniest, bits.

@mmlagoscc Mi libro es más sobre el estudio de la democracia que sobre el estado de la democracia. Sobre el tema del estado de la democracia en América Latina, el lunes que viene el PNUD lanza su nuevo informe sobre democracia y desarrollo. https://t.co/RSo6TNjYPY

Jessica Winter has been raising her children to detest A.I. Then her daughter’s public middle school began receiving Google Chromebooks, which came pre-installed with an all-ages version of Gemini, a suite of A.I. tools. “When my daughter, who is in sixth grade, begins writing an essay, she gets a prompt: ‘Help me write,’ ” Winter writes. “If she is starting work on a slide-show presentation, the prompt is ‘Help me visualize.’ She shoos away these interruptions, but they persist: ‘Help me edit.’ ‘Beautify this slide.’ ”

Proponents of generative A.I. in elementary and middle schools argue that such early exposure will foster digital-media literacy, and prepare them for a future in which most professions are steeped in A.I. But the technology also poses significant cognitive and social-emotional risks to young people. Read Winter’s report about A.I.’s infiltration into schools—and what it could mean for young minds: https://t.co/xaIqbeGRnl
