(Reupload! Sorry! It was really blurry this first time - I don't know why! 😐)

More experimentation today! This time it started with a pretty bad photo of the stairs from the front of Villa Spada and then I asked myself "What would happen if we added more stairs?" - so that's what happened! 😂 It's not completely symmetrical but it's close enough for me! The stars you see in the centre are from a bad astrophotography attempt a few months ago! ✨

This defense of #statusquo and #incrementalism as the ONLY way forward is jaw-dropping in its complete denial of the #urgency and #scale of #climatechange

#Influential people like this writer are simply unwilling to engage with the catastrophic impacts faced by folks in the #developing world where there is no recourse. For these folks - it is all a #game

Can anyone recommend a modern body weight scale that is accessible, either via self-voicing, or bluetooth connection? If via self-voicing, anything that doesn't shout the measured weight so loud, that anyone within 500 feet can hear it? Anyone who has used these products in the past will most certainly be aware that the "blind equals deaf" stereotype that is clearly pervasive in the overwhelming majority of these products. I'm hoping there is something out there that does not make this assumption, and has a volume adjustment beyond mute and yell.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Caution - Nerdiness

So I was watching Sean Carrol talk about scale in terms of energy in electron volts.. from a neutrino at possibly around 10^-3 ev to 10^37 ev.. the top of the Planck scale at around a freight train's energy.

So Im thinkin..well.. freight train isnt so much.. but then..thats
**for every particle** like.. a few drops of water has trillions..

Among supporters of #DirectDemocracy, I noted these thinkers: #Clisthenes, #Rousseau, #Diderot, #Arendt, #Proudhon, #Castoriadis, #Brown, #Dardot, #Laval, #Negt, #Kluge, #Lefort, #Abensour, #ColliotThélène, #Mouffe, #Rancière. Aside from #Gauchet's thought (whose critique I published below), I haven't read any valid critique of #DirectDemocracy, except for the #Scale issue, as we've already discussed.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Georg #Northoff and #Philipp #Klar: "#World + #Brain = #Consciousness? - Part 1"

It will be about the ongoing #adaptation of intrinsic #brainactivity to #environmentalstimuli. In other words, the #brain's #own #activity, the so-called “#spontaneousactivity” with its “#scale-free #dynamics” (“#nestedness”, which is measured in the “#resting-state”) must adapt to #audiovisual #inputs from the #environment.
