People who are #blind from birth never develop #schizophrenia – what this tells us about the #psychiatric condition

In 1950, two researchers noticed something that didn’t quite add up. Hector #Chevigny, a writer who had lost his sight in adulthood, and #psychologist Sydell #Braverman were studying the #psychological lives of blind people when they stumbled upon an intriguing pattern ...

It gets better - Suella #Braverman - is defending Farage for taking the gift from Harborne. To be clear this is the same donor who gave £6m to the Brexit Party in 2019 and £15m to Reform in 2025-26 - making him the biggest donor to a political party in British history.

And Suella says she and the #Tories are fine with him not declaring this £5m pay-off as it was ‘private’ - and completely unrelated to Farage leading the political party Harborne is also bankrolling: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2026/apr/30/local-election-campaign-labour-reform-conservatives-tories-greens-lib-dems-latest-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-69f334038f08e0584d89bf03#block.

Enième #vendredilecture consacré à la critique de l’idéologie du fascisme artificiel, cette fois-ci dévorant « The Eye of the Master » de #MatteoPasquinelli, prof de philosophie des sciences à Venise que je ne connaissais pas du tout avant sa participation dans un débat public il y trois semaines à Berlin, « Critique of AI », à coté de @ANosthoff, @bildoperationen et @RainerMuehlhoff. Son livre s’inscrit dans la tradition de #Marx, #Simondon, #Braverman et de l'opéraïsme italien des années 60, expliquant l’histoire sociale de l’IA dans le cadre de l’économie politique. L'IA n'est autre que l'automatisation du travail et n’a strictement rien d’intelligent.

Suella #Braverman already said in 2023: "We've dramatically reduced the avenues for legal challenge. Because what we found is people use legal avenues in a vexatious and frivolous way to thwart our ability to remove them or detain them" (BBC). It is the #law that gets in the way of politics here!

Que faire de l'intelligence artificielle ?

La gauche a longtemps considéré la question de la technologie comme secondaire, quand elle n'a pas adopté une position technophile, réduisant la question de la technologie à la question des rapports de propriété ou de son usage.

#Jenrick is the mastermind behind painting over a children’s mural in an asylum centre, so of course he found his political home with #Reform. Its the same with #Braverman who famously said that seeing a migrant plane take off to Rwanda was her dream & her obsession www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jan/27/matthew-goodwin-gorton-and-denton-reform-uk-minorities. Those of us who know for a fact that #Reform UK Ltd preaches #racism & is a deeply #racist Party won't be surprised by this. So, Nadim #Zahawi & Suella #Braverman, are you comfortable belonging to it? You probably think the size of your bank accounts will protect you. They won't.
