This pauses disbursement of all federal loans and prohibits new scientific grant funding indefinitely. As written, this appears to apply to student loans, as those are disbursed via universities–not directly from the Dept of Education. It explicitly requires cancellation of awarded scientific grant funding that is in conflict with the current administration.

Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn’t what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, “So, rocks are conscious?” This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism. Now, we have made rocks represent pins and switches, enabling us to use them as computers. We made them complex enough that we developed neural networks and created large language models–the most complex of which have nodes that represent space, time, and the abstraction of truth, according to some papers. So many people are convinced these things are conscious, which has many suggesting that everything may be conscious to some degree. In other words, the possibility of rocks being conscious is now commonly used to argue in favor of panpsychism, when previously it was used to argue against it.
