Today I looked at my email and the abyss stared back at me... I don't know who needs to see this, but please don't take psychoactive substances with a chatbot as your guide 😢

Screenshot of a part of an email that says:

"This is not a retreat. It's a structured research programme: 18 scientists working alongside a purpose-built AI research agent, with guided psychoactive sessions (psilocybin, ayahuasca, mescaline, 5-Me0-DMT) within traditional Shipibo ceremonial frameworks.
The founding cohort rate is $2,500 all-inclusive - future cohorts will be $14,950+. Only 18 spots available, rolling acceptance."

Starting a seminar on Rorty today, and the "holy cow" always gets me because it fits so well with his American accent and general disposition

An image of Rick & Morty, except they are both philosopher Richard Rorty with one saying: "The world does not speak, Rorty! Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs, but it cannot propose a language for us to speak." The other Rorty replies: "Holy cow, Rick!"

I was looking for a copy of Rorty's "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" and found one that belongs to a true pragmatist...

Behold, the stoic sage

Ah, I see. When I read ‘dirt’ I thought it’s something not viable as a basis for growing stuff, but now I’ve discovered a whole new world (as indicated by the United States Department of Agriculture typology of soil)

A diagram shaped like a triangle, where each side is a scale indicating the % of different component (sand separate, clay separate, and slit separate) in soil. Regions of the diagram are different types of soil, like like loam, clay loam, silty clay, etc.

I can now say the Pirate Poster 🦜 was a resounding success and I’m very grateful to everyone that came to challenge my ideas, ask questions, and chat! I learned a lot from you!

2. It’s a prompt to reflect on the trend of shrinking concurrent slots at the ASSC. According to my brief survey the duration of a talk and Q&A has shrunk by 10 minutes every 10 years. If this trend continues…

If you’re at #ASSC28 you can still find my Pirate Poster 🏴‍☠️🖼️ hanging on a side of the poster session area (don’t worry, it’s not taking up anyone’s else's space). 🧵
