What Is a Manifold? | Quanta Magazine In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics.

Introduced by Bernhard Riemann in the mid-19th century, manifolds are crucial to our understanding of the universe. Here’s how they work: www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-a-ma...

Schimpansen im Kongo mit Jane Goodall - Die ganze Doku | ARTE Mit Jane Goodall verstarb am 1. Oktober 2025 eine der bedeutendsten Primatenforscherinnen unserer Zeit. Anfang der 1990er-Jahre gründete sie in der Republik Kongo die Schimpansen-Auffangstation Tchimp...

all sounds amazing, looking forward!

awesome! Bandcamp does its job, but this feels like a proper north star for keeping up. Any news from Hashshashin on the horizon ?

alternative explanatory factors—self-organization, symbiosis, spontaneous ontogenesis, and so on—are deliberately adumbrated, without attempting systematic theorization that would risk conflating biological and non-biological domains.

I had a similar reflection. I read the Element less as a programmatic argument and more as a cartographic exercise: it traces braided streams of evolutionary inquiry across scientific and social domains, mapping pluralism beyond gene-centric or ultra-selectionist paradigms, similarly,

Such a wise and timely essay.

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...

The Tangled Nature model opens a much-needed interdisciplinary trail across fields from ecology to sociology🪸

Promotional graphic for "Somebody Should Do Something: How Anyone Can Create Social Change" on a blue-green gradient background. A 3D image of the book is on the right. To the top left is an endorsement from Kate Marvel, author of Human Nature, that reads "In Somebody Should Do Something, Michael Brownstein, Alex Madva, and Daniel Kelly neatly dispense with the false divide between individual action and systemic change. . . . Most importantly, the book provides concrete suggestions for organizing, coalition-building, and finding your own place in creating change."

Combining compelling stories with science, "Somebody Should Do Something" explores how personal choices, when linked with collective action, can drive the big structural change needed to tackle systemic issues.

Why We Experience Society Differently: Intrinsic Dispositions as Drivers of Ideological Complexity in Adaptive Social Networks
https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.07848

In exactly three months, my book “What Is Intelligence?” will be released via @mitpress.bsky.social & Antikythera. Within, I rethink traditional notions about AI, the brain, intelligence, evolution, and the big philosophical questions that have dogged these topics for millennia.
