An intellectually deep and beautifully written essay on consciousness and AI, by neuroscientist Anil Seth | Why consciousness is more likely a property of life than of computation and why creating conscious, or even conscious-seeming AI, is a bad idea | @anilkseth in @NoemaMag noemamag.com/the-mythology-o… noemamag.com/the-mythology-o…

Dark money, anonymous companies, and secretive elites with hidden wealth aren’t limited to distant dictatorships on palm-fringed islands. They’re here in America, now—and they’re enabling democracy’s decay, @anneapplebaum and @peterpomeranzev explain: theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

Merchants of distraction in the business of manufacturing indifference.
Too true: “It's the structural stupidity ... the anti-intellectualism ... the absence of moral seriousness ... the reflexive alignment with the status quo, whatever it may be ...”
Very powerful moving read:
It’s not a pathology to cry about the state of the planet. It’s a pathology not to.

For months, we investigated how wealthy towns keep themselves exclusive.
They speak in what many see as code:
- frail public infrastructure
- clogged streets
- a lack of sidewalks
- concerns over “neighborhood character”

For economists who don’t know this line of work, they should. Hugely informative for many econ issues.

CITIES ARE FRAGILE
Flaneured around NYC for a day. I spent 2/3 of my life in the area.
Saaaaaaaad.
Idiots claiming cities "more efficient" don't realize the concavity/fragility to shocks. See #Antifragile: Rome went from 2.2M to few 100K & took >1500 years to come back.
