Could we say that We and I are now algorithmically disindividuated?

Is European AI A Lost Cause? Not Necessarily. | NOEMA If Europe wants to build a new AI Stack it should stop listening to critics who claim to lead the way but only offer resistance.

In order to prevent the deaths that a once-in-a-generation nuclear plant accident may cause, Germany’s Green Party-led policies inflict the equivalent of 1.25 Chernobyls per year on the population.

Rethinking Economics, the movement changing how the subject is taught Born of student disquiet after the 2008 crash, the group says it is reshaping economists’ education

Good to see Rethinking Economics getting some attention! ... its aim is to make economics education “plural, critical, decolonised and historically grounded” rather than “dominated by a single framework presented as ‘neutral’ or ‘objective’” ... #philsci #philsky

Snip of article listing, reading: Article Expectations as Emotional Motivations for Interest: An Analysis from the Perspective of Husserl’s Phenomenology of Attention [by] Andrea Scanziani Published online: 25 Dec 2025 ABSTRACT The goal of this article is to identify a sense of motivation in Husserl’s work that develops from the manuscripts of 1893 and 1898 and later assumes fundamental relevance in his genetic phenomenology. This is the sense of motivation that drives the explicative movement accompanied by a certain degree of interest in an object of experience, as well as the preference attributed to certain objects within the horizon of experience. At the level of basic experiences such as doxic acts, both preference and the direction of experience are associated with a form of attention. In his early analyses of attention and interest, Husserl identifies an initial sense of motivation linked to the tension generated by ‘expectations’, which set in motion the rhythm of continuous tension and resolution. This rhythm culminates in a ‘pleasure in noticing’ that defines interest. Therefore, this work reconstructs the path that leads Husserl to define emotional expectations within the act of noticing, and pleasure as the affective motivation for the development of experience. Finally, it follows Husserl in his genetic identification of motivation in the ‘pleasure affection’, which reveals its origin in instinct.

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

disordered interoception is utterly transformative - not in a good way - particularly when coupled to dysautonomia - these are disorienting recursions with profound emotional consequences
