Look I’m not telling anyone what to do with their summer vacation plans. But it is sunny and 68 degrees on the Northcoast of #Humboldt County this week. #ca #redwoods #rivers #roadtrip #sasquatch

Doing it again! This Friday, 4-6 pm pickup at Urban Farm Oasis in Berkeley.

Order on our site and pick up and pay on Friday.

We've got tons of great plants, comparable to the ones in the background image here (though no Velvet Lushers this year). If there's something on our main list, but not on our "available for delivery" list, it's probably because it's still too small or maybe all of those are getting past their prime. We're okay selling either in person, but only like to deliver plants in their prime, since it's sight-unseen. If there's a variety you want, you can put it in the order and we can contact you about its status.

Support Urban Farm Oasis while you're here. They're a sweet local business.

Special Episode: Alexander von Humboldt — Bad Gays

German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt travelled the world amassing a wealth of botanical, geological, and human knowledge. His very private - and homosexual - life is still shrouded in mystery and historiographic embarrassment. 

Bad Gays
In #Humboldt County, The Venn diagram of people that want an Amazon warehouse, the people that support mass surveillance, and the people that think the homeless just need to “work harder” is a flat circle. #ca #stoneytakes

Hey, we're coming back to Berkeley this Thursday. Same time 4-6pm at Urban Farm Oasis on Ashby in Berkeley.

Order plants online on our site and pick them up and pay for them on Thursday. https://www.planthumboldt.com/delivery

So far, I think everyone who has picked up plants from us there has heard about it from Instagram (🤮) or from our mailing list. Say hi if you heard about us here.

„Das Bildungssystem bewertet vor allem Reproduktion: richtige Antworten, standardisierte Prüfungen, effiziente Wissensvermittlung. Die Logik des Systems folgt zunehmend nicht mehr der Frage nach der (Persönlichkeits-)Bildung des Menschen, sondern der Messbarkeit seiner Leistung. Bewertet wird vor allem, was standardisierbar, vergleichbar und effizient überprüfbar ist. KI macht diese Entwicklung nun sichtbarer denn je.“

Die Zeitung nennt dies „Bildungs-Show“. Ich bevorzuge „Bildungstheater“.

KI entlarvt Bildungs-Show an den Schulen

KI entlarvt Bildungs-Show an den Schulen – lernen wir so, wieder selbstständig zu denken?

Der entscheidende Punkt in der Debatte um Künstliche Intelligenz im Bildungssystem ist nicht die Frage, ob KI das Lernen verändert. Das tut sie bereits. Die eigentliche Frage lautet: Was bleibt vom Humboldt‘schen Bildungsideal noch übrig, wenn Wissen jederzeit verfügbar, formulierbar und automatisierbar wird?
