See No Evil: The Morality of Collapse | Shift Magazine As we wade into discussions about the consequences of collapse, and the most effective ways to become resilient in face of it, most of us avoid discussions about morals (personal standards of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’) and ethics (collective standards of ‘just’ and ‘unjust’ behaviours). As an example, it doesn’t matter whether climate change is human-caused, we assert, we need to focus on how to deal with it, not who to blame for it. Alas, it is not so easy to avoid the issue, because our worldviews are inevitably rooted in our beliefs, including our moral and ethical ones. So when it comes to preparing for collapse, the different groups, who accept that the near-term collapse of industrial civilization is inevitable (or at least requiring immediate and drastic action to avert), possess worldviews that are rooted in different, and I would argue, almost irreconcilable moral and ethical standards. Collapsnik tribes Worldviews & interpretations Layers of moral complexity Doomed by determinism?

12 Legendary English Songs That Are Even More Beautiful in Other Languages For decades, the global music scene has been dominated by English. Foreign bands usually have to cast aside their native tongue to score success in the biggest markets (see: Phoenix). A glance at Billboard's current top 10 reveals just one non-native English-speaker (Tove Lo), whose song, unsurprisingly, is sung entirely in English. The next bilingual performer down is Enrique Iglesias (No. 24), who's been releasing music for nearly 20 years, mostly in English. That's why foreign megastars like Stromae can be totally unknown in the U.S. 1. This track, by Brazilian singer Seu Jorge, is off an entire album of Bowie songs he covered for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and aside from its melody, the rendition is distinctively anti-Bowie. 2. One can only learn so much from this clip without knowing Italian (or the film). 3. It takes all of one minute for this song to kick in and prove that Don Henley's version was meant to be played 60 beats per minute faster and sung in Spanish. 4. 5.

Il Picco del sapere? di Jacopo Simonetta “L’entropia è il prezzo della struttura”, questa famosa frase di Ilya Prigogine schiude come un vaso di Pandora l’origine di gran parte dei mali che si stanno abbattendo su di un’umanità che credeva di aver oramai acquisito il controllo del Pianeta. Perché? Perché tutte le grandi conquiste di cui andiamo (in molti casi giustamente) orgogliosi sono il prodotto di processi fisici: abbiamo dissipato dell’energia per ottenere un incremento del nostro capitale complessivo. Che si tratti del numero di persone (popolazione), di infrastrutture ed oggetti materiali di ogni genere (capitale materiale), di denaro (capitale finanziario) di conoscenze (capitale culturale) e quant'altro, la fisica del sistema non cambia: si dissipa energia per aumentare la quantità di informazione contenuta in una parte del meta-sistema, scaricando l’entropia corrispondente su altri sotto sistemi. Da quando Claude. Perlomeno entro certi limiti, possiamo decidere a chi far pagare questa “bolletta”.

Nuts and Bolts: “Thought” Verbs In six seconds, you’ll hate me. But in six months, you’ll be a better writer. From this point forward – at least for the next half year – you may not use “thought” verbs. These include: Thinks, Knows, Understands, Realizes, Believes, Wants, Remembers, Imagines, Desires, and a hundred others you love to use. The list should also include: Loves and Hates. And it should include: Is and Has, but we’ll get to those, later. Until some time around Christmas, you can’t write: Kenny wondered if Monica didn’t like him going out at night…” Thinking is abstract. Instead, you’ll have to Un-pack that to something like: “The mornings after Kenny had stayed out, beyond the last bus, until he’d had to bum a ride or pay for a cab and got home to find Monica faking sleep, faking because she never slept that quiet, those mornings, she’d only put her own cup of coffee in the microwave. Instead of characters knowing anything, you must now present the details that allow the reader to know them. For example: Versus:

Strategies and Resources for Supporting English-Language Learners "The hardest part of living in a different country is the language barrier. Because you know you have to learn the language in order to survive." – Betina Johnson Being an English-language learner in the United States is no honeymoon. Efforts to support ELLs have often been well meaning but misinformed. Indeed, a lot of assumptions about how to serve ELLs need to be checked. UC Berkeley experts Margaret Bridge and Bruce Fuller offer three examples of these faulty assumptions: The expectation that Mexican-American English-language learners would enter U.S. schools with inadequate social competence turned out not to be realized.

Singolarità tecnologica Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Nella futurologia, una singolarità tecnologica è un punto, previsto nello sviluppo di una civilizzazione, dove il progresso tecnologico accelera oltre la capacità di comprendere e prevedere degli esseri umani moderni. La Singolarità può, più specificamente, riferirsi all'avvento di una intelligenza superiore a quella umana, e ai progressi tecnologici che, a cascata, si presume seguirebbero, salvo un importante aumento artificiale delle facoltà intellettive di ciascun individuo. Panoramica sulla singolarità[modifica | modifica wikitesto] Concetto iniziale[modifica | modifica wikitesto] Sebbene si creda comunemente che il concetto di singolarità sia nato negli ultimi 20 anni del XX secolo, esso nasce realmente negli anni cinquanta del 1900: Questa citazione è stata parecchie volte utilizzata fuori dal suo contesto ed attribuita allo stesso von Neumann, probabilmente a causa della grande fama ed influenza di questi. Nel 1965, lo statistico I.
