Academia has moved from "doing things" to "talking about doing things".

It is happening now: Europe is rearming itself without going through a parliament without alternatives. We are seeing it all unfold again, heading straight toward war.

It is happening.

And over the past 80 years, an innumerable number of peace treaties, disarmament agreements, unilateral signatures, and solemn promises. The UN seems like an empty shell. When the time comes for war, no agreements or promises hold any value.

It is disheartening to see that everything is relentlessly moving toward the abyss, with nothing seemingly able to stop this rapid course. Everything feels the same as a century ago: an economic crisis, an invasion, a pretext, an arms race... inevitable.

Apparently a "musicological look" to experiments in hard sciences is often superfluous.

Trying to set up a study with a cognitive neuroscientist looking at the perceptual experience of music via fMRI. I realize that researchers from humanities "need" researchers from hard sciences (to confirm or make researches more robust) while the other way around does not always hold.

Emilia Perez is a great movie!
