And yet, a few pages later, I'm hit by a particularly relevant sentence for these times:
"Knowledge is dangerous, which is why governments often clamp down on people who can think thoughts above a certain calibre."

In both these roles, over the past few years, I've been asked to serve on diverse bodies that offer guidance about how the #Executive & #Legislative branches can be stewards of #knowledge & create structure to enable #discovery, #innovation, & #ingenuity. In the instance of the National #Science Board, this ideal has dissolved so gradually, yet so completely, that I barely noticed its absence until confronted with its hollow simulacrum.
Why I’m Resigning from Positions at the National #Science Foundation [#NSF] &

…Even as the White House threatens the foundational tenets of constitutional #democracy & continues to slash #funding for essential #SocialServices, it is tempting to hope that the public institutions charged with promoting & protecting #knowledge will, nevertheless, soldier on with their mission. I did.

State of (in)security - Week 19, 2025
The weekly cybersecurity report (May 5-12, 2025) shows increases in both advisories (13, up from 9) and incidents (22, up from 18) and 2.8 million individuals reported to be impacted. Leading cause of attack are malware/ransomware attacks (6). Most impacted industries are IT/Technology and Education sectors (4 incidents each).
**Three rules this week: (1) Your company MUST have responsible disclosure channel to be able to quickly react to reported issues. (2) There is no honor among criminals. This is why it's usually pointless to pay a ransom for stolen data. Criminals will most likely retain the data and extort everyone as much as possible. (3) Never try to write your own cryptography, because that usually ends up with a flawed implementation. Use well known deeply tested libraries.**

Time to update my #Introduction!
I joined a collective #ResearchProject in Sept 2024, where I work on the tacit #Knowledge related to the #Environment and #Climate of people working in the construction (#Housing) and #SocialWork sectors in #Luxembourg.
Outside of research, I enjoy making things #Sewing, #Knitting, weaving together #History and present, gardening #SmallSpaceGardening. Brittany is my favourite place.
I have been a member of the Social.Coop #OrganizingCircle since Jan 2024.

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy may be the most interesting website on the internet. Not because of the content—which includes fascinating entries on everything from ambiguity to zombies—but because of the site itself.
Its creators have solved one of the internet’s fundamental problems: How to provide authoritative, rigorously accurate knowledge, at no cost to readers."

@overholt It's even more: a fascist system always begins to wipe out knowledge for better manipulating the masses.
And yes, Trump read a book. In a famous Vanity Fair interview in 1990, Marie Brenner discovered that he had read Hitler's speeches with delight. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/08/donald-trump-marie-brenner-ivana-divorce

BTW: Am I right in assuming that Lee, Wendy & Co. never became famous for their essayistic skills and to this day have no publishing contract?
The bad news: in #dystopian days, I fear a dumbing down of the world, deliberately incited by #TESCREAL #techBros to keep people manipulable.

note（ノート）Poison_Raika's Philosophy Part 3｜ポイズン雷花"Diverse basic knowledge rather than one specialized knowledge" It is true that specialized knowledge is very important at university and work, but it is more necessary to have a wide variety of basic knowledge in daily life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating expertise. Please do not

note（ノート）Poison_Raika Філософія Частина 3｜ポイズン雷花«Різноманіття базових знань, а не одне спеціалізоване» Це правда, що спеціалізовані знання дуже важливі в університеті та на роботі, але в повсякденному житті більш необхідно мати широкий спектр базових знань. Не зрозумійте мене неправильно, я не недооцінюю експертизу. Будь ласка, не зрозумійте
