""Every act of transgression weakens conscience," so was the view of many thinkers. And indeed, to this day, we typically see the transgressive — breaking rules, acting cruelly, and "being bad" — as unacceptable. But some argue its status is unknown and transgression might be necessary and desirable. Breaking rules with the intention to transgress is essential, they say, if we are to challenge authoritarian systems of thought. Recent research shows individuals express freedom and agency through breaking such norms. And whilst cruelty is universally condemned, studies have shown that people who cause harm and later reflect on their actions report an increased sense of moral awareness.

Should we accept that transgression is vital to a healthy culture central and necessary for humans to flourish? Or should we seek to remove transgressive behavior from all public and private life? More radically, is it a mistake to talk of "right" or "wrong," "bad" or "wicked" in the first place, and should we instead abandon moral terms altogether?"—

#MissKittyRaw Who knows what I get to see before it falls down, but the leaders of the future regardless of how much rubble ends up being in the way we'll see their way clear to demanding #universality and #equanimity. They will pull it together because of the most recent desecrations. Hard lessons.
Universality means human rights belong to everyone, everywhere, without exception.
When rights are denied to one, they are weakened for all.

We did a decent job of explaining #universality & how the BBC is funded in the @[email protected] #OurBBC paper, but I wish to god I had been able to include this from @[email protected] & @[email protected]: bsky.app/profile/whyd...

@cas Oh, thxthx for the careful response! 

So first of all, I did not say or imply that complexity is a completely or even a net negative thing. After all, there’s a reason we’re all in the FOSS communities in some form or another, and it’s how it allows anyone to participate in diverse ways of achieving similar goals, then finding common ground and sharing efforts, as you mention with pmOS. Very irregularly, rather chaotically (for better! or worse!), but it does happen. The main problems I got are with the margin of improvement for cooperation (via standardization, shared codebases and stacks, etc), as well with how the politics behind it all are translated into choice complexity for the newcomer — and thus liability that they ideally shouldn’t have. Opinionated projects are very much positive if not inevitable (otherwise you’re stuck with the contradictory goals of #neutrality and #universality, potentially grinding things to a halt or forcing to change course), and I’m not gonna nod along the ā€œjust do a single projectā€ fallacy. It’s just that I think the community should accept and embrace collaboration, tradeoffs and consensus when it makes sense… so it’s good to know that there’s already some momentum towards that!  

…hopefully everyone will indeed do their best. I know how discouragement and conflict can arise even between well-meaning parts (communication, ideals, personal lives…), let alone when not everyone’s on the same page (  ). But yeah, if that’s the case I do believe governance and results will follow and be much more empowering than just handing over that responsibility to Google or some other BDFL instead.

(P.S.: yeah I know the Linux stack consensus isn’t absolute, the ā€œsomewhatā€ wasn’t just about fd.o!  )

āšœļø The tolerance means the respect for the everyone's freedom. The rights of peoples is a common agreement of justice between all nations of the world. The human responsibility involves everyone. āšœļø

Abstract: In this lecture, we focus on the intersection of data mining and the many-body problem, within the framework of statistical mechanics. We outline our motivations for leveraging advances in computational techniques to analyze large datasets generated by complex physical systems. We discuss concepts of universality across diverse fields and how they can inform our understanding of data structures. By exploring lattice models such as the two-dimensional Ising one, we aim to uncover universal behaviors that bridge physics and data science through innovative methodologies like unsupervised learning. This course seeks to equip participants with tools that highlight shared characteristics among seemingly disparate phenomena and are interested in understanding the many-body problem in terms of high-dimensional geometry concepts.
