📍 “Rest is not resistance.”
I enjoyed reading this article that offers hope in this decade and unpacks ‘rest’ in relation to resistance and organizing for solidarity, democracy, rights and freedoms – Rest not as “to lie down and going to sleep” or going on a vacation or a hollow career ladder-climbing #project but instead, as radical memory and remembering, unpacking of #structural, historical and #epistemological violence and injustice.

Rest is not resistance: Commodification, Capitalism, and the Cult of Self-Care

We have to start using words with intention if we are to fight the battle ahead.

Conversely, make good and feel-good uncritical #theories are not in our best interest, for they lack the much-needed friction to #imagine another world(s) beyond the #daily #grind, and the traction and organizing necessary for liberatory #structural and #epistemological democratic #change.

Guest article by Dr. #Bernd #Stein: "The #thing in itself"

In a new guest article by Dr. Bernd Stein, who has often published his excellent guest articles on my site, this time it is about the infamous "thing in itself", as one might find it in the introduction of the Aristotelian categories in scholasticism, the subsequent #universalism controversy (which I had already examined in an older essay "The Paradigm Shift") or in modern epistemology, which is essentially shaped by Immanuel #Kant's dualistic philosophy.

In this respect, Bernd's essay fits perfectly into the previous portfolio of this site, as in his very readable text he deals with the possible #epistemological limits of "physics" or rather physics. In particular, he addresses the supposed "intrinsic properties of an object" in order to show that, in his view, there are only interactions that may also apply to a special degree to "quantum objects".

Dear God, I thought we were swirling down the #epistemological toilet *before* all the #LLM crap hit the scene.

This is really, really, really bad.

Can prosecutors convince a jury Trump means every bonkers thing he says?

In the #Fedi it wouldn’t come to my mind to explain the #universe (and the #epistemological process of acquiring knowledge about it) to people asking about the #bigbang, because my take is somewhat opinionated, and for some reason I don't feel free in the Fedi to say anything potentially controversial. On #Nostr I didn't hesitate: https://iris.to/note169m4axneyqtrn87e0yrljacff30engd7z99ep0x5udcdmz93sywq766nt7 . I don't know why. But it's getting harder for me to say anything at all in the Fedi. (I really tried, but something just doesn’t feel right.)
