“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge...”

This quote from Darwin's Descent of Man, published #OnThisDay in 1871, pretty much sums up the challenges the world is facing now, a century & a half later.

It's so important to take time to write these "academic love letters", also when a book or article you read was inspiring or helpful

Just saw this now, thank you @waitmanwbeorn.com. I also just used the nausea-scene from the "The Zone of Interest" coupled with your excellent commentary (from the podcast) in a recent class discussion.

I showed this clip from "The Act of Killing" (2012) in my Comparative Genocide class this morning because it's really a great example of the challenges of seeing disgust/discomfort in perpetrators as a sign of moral conflict.

Thinking also of @dittemunch.bsky.social's work here as well.

The Way Out by Rebecca Buxton, Samuel Ritholtz - Hardcover Scholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.

It's officially publication day for our book, The Way Out. Sam and I have worked on this since we first put our heads together in 2019, and it's fair to say that the context shifted under our feet as we were writing and thinking.

Han er afhængig af opioider på femte år: »Det er en ond cirkel, for jeg tager det bare for at være normal« For fem år siden tilbød en ven ham tramadol. Siden har han levet i et helvede, som han ikke kan bryde ud af.

Jeg arbejder for tiden med at afdække afhængigheden af opioider. I den forbindelse har jeg interviewet en ung mand, der er afhængig af tramadol på femte år. Artiklen er åben, for manden vil have den ud til så mange som muligt. Del gerne blandt unge.

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI

So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to)

I've written this document to try to explain WHY it's a bad idea rather than just forbidden fruit.
