“When the far right talks about freedom of expression, what they are really demanding is a free pass to discriminate. Examples: Trumpism or President Kast when he denies Pinochet's state terrorism,” argues historian Federico Finchelstein. www.eldiario.es/sociedad/aba... @eldiario.es

The World Cup has become today’s grand celebration of brutality. Modern slavery, money laundering, animal cruelty — you name it. And yet everyone’s so eager to indulge in this abomination.

✍️Statistics play a vital role in informing and shaping public policy and decision making. Ed Humpherson argues that for government statistics to be trusted they need to be more than just openly available.

The last nuclear weapons control treaty between the US and Russia has expired (10,624 missile), and thus the post-Cold War narrativesーthe world should be trembling.

I believe this goes beyond mere tolerance—it amounts to a justification, even a rationalization, for unchecked barbarism, feeding on the failures of the nation-state: narcotrafficking, mass unemployment, political disaffection, and the erosion of the traditional left-right divide (e.g. Chile).

On AI and artistic copyright: art is fundamentally human labour [work of art]. Legal practice and regulation should prioritise artists — not the empty formalism of algorithms that steal the intellectual endeavour of those crating from lived experience.

Dans une société démocratique, aucune valeur artistique ne l'emporte sur le respect fondamental de la vie. Philip Glass incarne cet idéal humaniste — il est un créateur au sens le plus noble du terme. Bravo!

Just started this book, and it’s been incredibly eye-opening about how we’re data-mined for almost every breath we take. Highly recommended for anyone teaching Big Data and surveillance.
