Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away today at the age of 86. Perhaps best known for his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart spent the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown sharing videos of himself reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Notably, he was once joined by his neighbor’s cat Glenn who appeared unimpressed by Sonnet 40.

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace 🙏

Agent-Based Modeling: Worlds Within Worlds, a new interactive story from the Santa Fe Institute, chronicles the rise of ABMs in the social sciences, with a focus on SFI contributions.
Over the next few weeks we’ll highlight pieces of this story. First, how it begins:
PART 1: In a former convent in Santa Fe in the late 1980s, economists, physicists, and computer scientists scribble equations on a blackboard where an altar used to be. They are discussing a promising new approach to scientific modeling, one that represents individual actors in, say, an economy or a pandemic, and the rules those “agents” follow.
Today, the method — known as agent-based modeling — offers powerful insights for predicting financial crises, managing pandemics, and even uncovering truths about the past.

This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP.

Peter Sloterdijk - Übungen im Neuanfang
Videoreihe mit vier Folgen, @AppleTV, ZEIT Akademie, mit @WEilenberger, 2026
Der Philosoph Peter Sloterdijk blickt auf die zentralen Impulse für das philosophische Denken der Nachkriegszeit und Gegenwart zurück. Welche historischen Erfahrungen haben die neuen Denkerinnen und Denker geprägt und welche Orte dienten als Quellen neuer Ideen? Sloterdijk schildert seine Beobachtungen und Erfahrungen und beschreibt, wie diese seine eigene philosophische Stimme beeinflusst haben.
S1, F1: Wolfram Eilenberger und Peter Sloterdijk sprechen über die Veränderungen im philosophischen Denken nach dem Kriegsende 1945 und über die Philosophie in kritischer Selbstbetrachtung in den darauffolgenden Jahrzehnten.
S1, F2: Peter Sloterdijk spricht über einen seiner philosophischen Interessensschwerpunkte: die poststrukturalistische Philosophie, die in Frankreich ihren Anfang findet.
S1, F3: Ein weiterer Strang der Nachkriegsphilosophie ist die Wiener Schule. Peter Sloterdijk über die Philosophie von u. a. Ludwig Wittgenstein und Rudolf Carnap.
S1, F4: Foucault kennzeichnet die Aufgabe der Philosophie als ein Gewinnen von Geistesgegenwärtigkeit und die detaillierte Beschreibung der Gegenwart. Peter Sloterdijks Werk umfasst solche Übungen in Geistesgegenwärtigkeit und behandelt Fragen der Ökologie, eine Theorie des Populismus und auch Gedanken zur aktuellen Verfassung des europäischen Kontinents.
