Il prossimo anno accademico (secondo semestre) insegnerò per la prima volta un corso intitolato: "Intelligenza artificiale: catene del valore, etica e geopolitica". La prova generale l'ho già fatta lo scorso semestre, ed è andata molto bene: nel 2027 andrà ancora meglio!

"Gli scienziati autentici... non restano indifferenti di fronte alle scelte etico-politiche di fondo; allo stesso modo che i veri... umanisti sanno benissimo che anche le loro ricerche sarebbero giuochi oziosi, se non servissero... a una migliore vita civile" (G. Calogero)

[Nika Dubrovsky @nikadubrovsky]

This book shows a very different history: socialist anti-Zionism was a significant part of Jewish politics long before 1948.

The Bundists were already asking: can you liberate one oppressed people by displacing or subordinating another? And why have we forgotten how important anti-Zionism once was in Jewish political life?

Would be great to invite @NathanTankus to @Graeber_social to talk about the book!

Sono un ingegnere e temo che abbia assolutamente ragione.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

The brighter STEM people understand that studying science does not automatically turn out intellectuals. Intellectualism requires a broader understanding of the world. However, there's a large midwit layer of STEM narcissists who lack the humility that could drive them to investigate what they don't understand. Placed in positions of influence, these people are quite dangerous.

How the joint Finnish-Nazi siege of Leningrad (that left more than 1 million dead from famine), and Finland being an official member of the Axis, has in a new phantasist reading of history become a "defensive war". I would not be surprised if the Operation Barbarossa becomes renamed defensive war soon too.

“The ideal mind, the brain, has become the vampire of modern life, sucking up the blood and the life. There is hardly an original thought or original utterance possible to us. All is sickly repetition of stale, stale ideas.”

Tony Blair did same thing in Iraq

He just didn’t announce it

Trump is more honest than the liberal imperialists

Schrödinger’s Russia, i.e., burying Aristotle’s principium contradictionis six feet deep, i.e., anything goes if stated by powerful enough entities.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

We are asked to believe that Russia is on the verge of collapse, has no fuel, losing unsustainable casualties, about to be defeated by Ukraine.

Also Russia is hugely powerful and about to invade the UK so we must massively increase spending on weapons.

For violinist Michael Barenboim, Germany’s memory culture has become a tool for upholding complicity in Israel's crimes and rendering Palestinians invisible.

The Netherlands is the biggest destination for Israeli capital in the world. In 2024 the Netherlands received nearly four times as much Israeli investment as the US, a whopping €44.9 billion. The financial ties go both ways. The Netherlands is the second biggest global investor into Israel. In 2024, Dutch foreign direct investment to Israel was €27.3 billion. Only the US invested more.

None of this is accidental. It is the result of Dutch policy of supporting war crimes.

These publications that are peddling eugenics into the mainstream are more dangerous than any right wing media doing that. Because they have an air of intellectualism and jump at the opportunity to lynch an obscure academic, while knowing ZERO about academia. Absolutely vile.

Il riarmo europeo visto da Berlino fa più impressione che altrove. In 6 anni sono passati da 40 a 140 mld di euro in spese militari. Si preparano alla guerra. Per @ossigenorivista ho fatto un piccolo viaggio nel militarismo e nell'antimilitarismo tedesco. https://t.co/IXCkx5YdH8
