Che cosa sia l’uomo, non si può dire. [...] Egli si strascina mutilazioni subite da millenni come eredità sociale.

(Th.W. Adorno, Dialettica negativa, Torino 2004 [1966], p. 114.)

[The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social @mitpress]

In Why We Cooperate, Michael Tomasello draws on groundbreaking studies of children & apes to reveal the origins of human cooperation.

Scholars Carol Dweck, Joan Silk, Brian Skyrms, & Elizabeth Spelke respond to his findings and explore the implications.

“As the old joke goes, when two behaviourists meet, one says ‘How am I?’ and the other replies ‘You are fine. How am I?’”

[Earl K. Miller @MillerLabMIT]

Neurons, especially in cortex, rarely show steady-state firing. Instead, they fire in bursts. This bursting may be key to function.
Distributed burst firing mediates optimized cortical encoding of natural self-motion

Cool to see that Neil Levy's forthcoming co-authored book is open access... https://t.co/sUfxev2AqW

Vorrei leggere il programma di Futuro Nazionale ma non amo il genere horror.

[C. S. Peirce @CSPeirceSpeaks]

Logic is not the science of how we do think; but, in such sense as it can be said to deal with thinking at all, it only determines how we ought to think; nor how we ought to think in conformity with usage, but how we ought to think in order to think what is true.

[Nikolai Rostov @austrosillyism]

Aside from Hayek, Schumpeter etc… where’s the discussion of Pareto? I feel like the Pareto principle is fairly important. And that’s not all… where’s Kaldor’s theory of growth, Arrow-Debreu’s general equilibrium (you discuss Hayek’s)? You mention monopolies briefly, wouldn’t it be worth discussing the works of Sweezy and Kalecki or philosophically speaking? Where’s Alchian, Demsetz and the entire U.C.L.A Property Rights school of Wconomics? (Coase is mentioned). Where’s the fundamental theorems of welfare economics? Where’s Walras and Menger?

The critical thinking-maxxing continues!

«Lasciate che vi dica tutta la verità: se mai il fascismo dovesse arrivare in America, arriverà nel nome della libertà.»

Ricordando Thomas Mann, morto il #12agosto 1955.

[Sigmund Freud ✍️ @SigmundFrrreud]

A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence.

[Franco De Lorenzi @FrankDL06]

Dice il dolore: passa.

(F. Nietzsche, Così parlò Zarathustra.)

I dolori sono insegnamenti.

Quale che sia la #felicità che viene concessa o saltuariamente tollerata dall'intero sussistente, essa porta sin dall'inizio i segni della propria #particolarità.

(Th.W. Adorno, Dialettica negativa, Torino 2004 [1966], p. 316.)

[〈 Ɩm | pedro 〉 @metakritik_]

"Toda felicidade é uma fragmento de toda a felicidade que se recusa aos homens e que eles recusam a si mesmos."

Theodor W. Adorno, "Meditações sobre a metafísica"

[Jonathan Fine @jonathanbfine]

In 18th-century Germany, the adjective “aufgeklärt” (enlightened) was often used pejoratively by enemies of the new reform movement, and now it’s the term we use to refer to the entire era. Something to think about.

Adorno on the ridiculous aspect that even the most serious art bears (and its relationship to the utopia of sex)

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
