New newsletter: I KNOW WHY THE MATHEMATICIANS WEEP

I wrote about "technological grief"—the uncanny and ego-eviscerating feeling of watching a machine do an intellectual job on which you based your sense of self and worth. Also:

- what makes humans special
- what makes math special
- why science is both a craft (discovery) and a conversation (the relationships you build with fellow discoverers)
- how AI disrupting the former (intelligence) might increase the significance of the latter (relationships)
- why other fields should be prepared for emotional and occupational disorientation that mathematicians are going through

With many thanks to deeply wise words of @stevenstrogatz

The Cardinals are getting trade calls on WR Marvin Harrison Jr., but he won’t come cheap: League sources say Arizona would want a second-round pick and more to consider dealing the former No. 4 pick.

That and much more in The Sweep:

New newsletter/pod: A PHILOSOPHER'S ONE-WORD THEORY OF WHY THE WORLD FEELS SO WEIRD

Agnes Callard is a philosopher at the University of Chicago. Today she explains her theory of "the uni-context"—what it is, where it comes from, how it's transformed our experience of being alive, and how it explains:

- the modern obsession with distraction and the management of our attention
- why everything in art and design seems the same these days
- why the news media is so interested in telling you how much the world sucks all the time
- how every aspect of modern life becoming a global market makes it so hard to stop comparing ourselves to others
- how telecommunications tech—from radio, to TV, to smartphones—succeeds by tapping into our "deep aversion to world closure"

On John Sterling, voice of the Yankees, and the generational impact of showing up day after day, month after month, season after season
https://t.co/ZPSQ5ZDBnb

[The Ringer @ringer]

John Sterling, the longtime voice of the Yankees who called 5,631 games and spent more than three decades in the booth, died Monday at age 87. He leaves behind a legacy as an institution unto himself—and a link between generations.
