Europe and the United States spent years condemning Iran for suppressing student protests.
Now French students are protesting at home, and the same language comes flying back.
That is what a boomerang looks like.
If repression abroad is a human-rights crisis, it does not become “public order” just because the police are French.
Human rights remain “universal” right up until the tear gas is French.
Nothing travels faster than a Western value returning home as a boomerang.
Anche allora, nel 1226, otto secoli fa, il 3 ottobre era un sabato, quando al tramonto di quel giorno e quindi nelle prime ore della domenica 4, Francesco affrontò la morte. Chiese ai frati di esser deposto nudo a terra e cantando i salmi lasciò il mondo ed entrò nell’ eternità
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Paramahansa Yogananda pictured with Mahatma Gandhi in Wardha, India, 1935. As part of a yearlong journey to his beloved motherland, Yogananda traveled to see Gandhi at his ashram. This picture was taken on a Monday, Gandhi’s day of silence, and Yogananda is shown reading a note Gandhi had just written. Their interactions during Yogananda’s visit, including Gandhi’s request for initiation in Kriya Yoga, are chronicled in a chapter of “Autobiography of a Yogi.”
In 1925 (the year Yogananda established his international headquarters in Los Angeles to spread the teachings of Kriya Yoga worldwide), Gandhi visited Yogananda’s Yogoda Satsanga school for boys in Ranchi. Expressing keen interest in the balanced curriculum of the Yogoda program, he inscribed in the guest book a gracious tribute.
Today, October 2, is the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, and we honor Gandhi’s great contribution to the betterment of our world with the following words of Yogananda from his autobiography: “The nonviolent voice of Gandhi appeals to man’s highest conscience. Let nations ally themselves no longer with death, but with life; not with destruction, but with construction; not with hate, but with the creative miracles of love.”

L'UCRAINA E GLI ISLAMISTI
Intervenendo all'Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite, il Primo Ministro del Niger, Lamine Zeine Ali Mahaman, ha accusato direttamente la Francia e l'Ucraina di sostenere gruppi radicali islamisti nella regione africana del Sahel: "Mentre mi rivolgo a voi, ci sono forze al confine nordorientale del nostro Paese che operano per conto della Francia, sostenute dall'Ucraina e da altri due Paesi. E sapete di quali Paesi sto parlando. Queste forze sono armate, ricevono supporto e sono dirette verso i nostri obiettivi militari e le nostre raffinerie di petrolio. Ma se lo faranno, riceveranno ciò che meritano".
Tramite Lettera da Mosca
When they say AI will make academics obsolete, this is a good thing!
Claude understands my position on naive binary forecasting (and betting markets) better than 100% of academics in Decision "Science"/Psychology, all verbalistic.
"Why does Taleb despise @PTetlock"?
Ci ha sorpreso il fervore risvegliatosi in Francia al passaggio del Papa.
Ciò mi ha fatto ricordare la promessa della Madonna a Rue du Bac, la notte del 18 luglio 1830: “Verrà un momento in cui si crederà che tutto sia perduto; allora sarò con voi. Abbiate fiducia”
Grazie Maria.

Qui c’è l’essenza del degrado in cui è caduta l’industria tedesca. Sostenere che la domanda cinese di acciaio proveniente dal settore automobilistico possa controbilanciare la perdita di volumi dell’auto europea è una delle cose più squallide che abbia letto negli ultimi mesi.
