The Goodness Paradox by Richard Wrangham: 9781101970195 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/530240/the-goodness-paradox-by-richard-wrangham/
We Homo sapiens can be the nicest of species and also the nastiest. What occurred during human evolution to account for this paradox? What are the two kinds of aggression that primates are prone to, and why did each evolve separately? How does the intensity of violence among humans compare with the aggressive behavior of other primates? How did humans domesticate themselves? And how were the acquisition of language and the practice of capital punishment determining factors in the rise of culture and civilization? Authoritative, provocative, and engaging, The Goodness Paradox offers a startlingly original theory of how, in the last 250 million years, humankind became an increasingly peaceful species in daily interactions even as its capacity for coolly planned and devastating violence remains undiminished. In tracing the evolutionary histories of reactive and proactive aggression, biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham forcefully and persuasively argues for the necessity of social tolerance and the control of savage divisiveness still haunting us today.

Sick people get deconditioned from lack of physical activity. When they try to go back to their normal lives, some experience unusual fatigue, because their bodies aren’t fully recovered. A subset of people misperceive this fatigue as ongoing infection or tissue damage, leading to a vicious cycle of distress, aversion to activity, and increased deconditioning. In essence, patients cursed themselves by believing their symptoms had a strictly biological cause. The stronger the belief, the worse the curse. “Poor prognosis,” Wessely explained, “is associated with holding very firm convictions of an exclusively physical origin to symptoms.”

Israel is no longer ‘shooting and crying’
https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/5/26/israel-is-no-longer-shooting-and-crying
Today, the pretence of crying while shooting has completely disappeared, replaced by the reality of Israelis being gleeful while shooting. A society that celebrates so gleefully the use of some of the most atrocious forms of violence known to humanity does not possess the capacity to reform from within. It is a society that is incapable of healing itself and becoming a normal member of the region. The only solution is to take away the rewards of its violence. Today, Israel continues to reap the rewards of its settler colonial conquest of Palestine, as well as parts of Syria and Lebanon. These rewards come in the form of increased weapons sales, growing economic relations with powerful regions such as the European Union, and continued political support for Israel across mainstream Western political, social and cultural institutions.

What Do Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems Truly Mean? | Quanta Magazine
https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-do-godels-incompleteness-theorems-truly-mean-20260518/
It is easy to lose one’s sense of wonder at the fact that such a blindingly obvious set of axioms — the Peano axioms for arithmetic (the set of rules about the natural numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 … closely related to the system that Gödel used in his proof, such as the rule, “Every number has a successor”) — is essentially incomplete and undecidable, meaning that all axiomatizable consistent extensions are incomplete and undecidable. Hold on to that wonder! The incompleteness theorems teach us that when it comes to our attempt to master the conceptual order, whether it be in mathematics or, for that matter, in any other domain, we will always fail — and indeed, in this case more than any other, we should be glad to have failed, for failure was clearly the more interesting, the more profound, outcome.

AI and the Foushee/Allam race
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/05/23/ai-industry-super-pacs-are-intervening-midterm-congressional-races/
Nida Allam, a 32-year-old Democrat, was fighting a close North Carolina primary when a barrage of ads swept in. Over five days in February, the blitz across TV, radio and social media painted the incumbent, Rep. Valerie Foushee, as a liberal crusader. “She is leading the fight to hold ICE accountable,” one ad said of Foushee, who co-chairs a Democratic House commission on artificial intelligence.

Obsidian alternative

When I first started using PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold. That self never arrived. --- Look here for comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48109014

In Praise of Forgetting
https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300227109/in-praise-of-forgetting/
The conventional wisdom about historical memory is summed up in George Santayana’s celebrated phrase, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Today, the consensus that it is moral to remember, immoral to forget, is nearly absolute. And yet is this right? David Rieff, an independent writer who has reported on bloody conflicts in Africa, the Balkans, and Central Asia, insists that things are not so simple. He poses hard questions about whether remembrance ever truly has, or indeed ever could, “inoculate” the present against repeating the crimes of the past. He argues that rubbing raw historical wounds—whether self-inflicted or imposed by outside forces—neither remedies injustice nor confers reconciliation. If he is right, then historical memory is not a moral imperative but rather a moral option—sometimes called for, sometimes not. Collective remembrance can be toxic. Sometimes, Rieff concludes, it may be more moral to forget.

Do You Need EV Tires, or Tires for an EV?
https://www.edmunds.com/electric-car/articles/ev-tires.html
Tires designed specifically for EVs typically use polymers and harder tread compounds, which are designed to improve efficiency by reducing rolling resistance; these materials also help handle an EV's increased weight and instant torque compared to an ICE car. They're made of tougher compounds and with stronger plies to help handle an EV's increased weight and torque. They also often use noise reduction technologies such as foam liners to absorb or reduce tire and road noise before it can enter the cabin.
