Boston Faces Identity Crisis Amid Trump’s Cuts to University and Research Funding
Boston Faces Identity Crisis Amid Trump’s Cuts to University and Research Funding
(Of course, Benjamin Franklin's dialectics evolved over a lifetime from the earliest writings, pro/con method, virtues, and self-improvement, to the Revolution, after censure by the British. A different outcome than Socrates, for instance. Postmaster, whistle-blower, all as scientist. Could be seen as an inventor by the Treasury now the branch of so much international action. He did escape from Boston. English Lit was never the same. Some are wondering what a year 2075 retrospective will look like. Others whether chatbots will output a long list of examples or actually provide a perspective. Also, for tech, what improves chances of selection. Whence the soul? If Enlightenment is not obvious, and Social Science not deterministic, then might this invite another method of political and economic intelligence or analysis, after geographical, demographical, historical, horizon, scenario, PESTEL PESTLE, STEEP, or SWOT? To track or transform, beyond trade. Golden rule, irony, and poetic justice noted but aside, for now. How to get on the Reading List? Or censored therefrom.)

U.S. tariffs don't violate NATO treaty, says NATO's Rutte
U.S. tariffs don't violate NATO treaty, says NATO's Rutte
(One reason why dialectics are significant: international, multi-ideological reasoning. Not all historical in this case, e.g. alongside technological, cultural, or relational. Can models predict outcomes if not identify causes? How can they also innovate solutions or methods, e.g. mind the gap? Compared to hallucination. Self-organization vs. central planning. Sustainability and circular economy. Cells hint at learning models, possibly quantum, that invite cybernetics for ongoing comms and feedback so programming is not taken over by natural evolution, and that may be pluralist amid seemingly incomprehensible complexity. This would be a large-scale version. Computational Buy-ology. Post-rules. Markets, parties, or governments. AGI-inside and normal anxieties. Expect nationalist companies to pick up the breaks in supply chains. Now get to call either fanatics or proxies of the future. Not all synthesis or hybrid. The internet of things will be shocked, shocked. Cyber and space still have slower-rising barriers. Climate plays no favorites, although capitalism is going to have its reputation bickered about. Emerging Tech remains unregulated, however someone eventually is often left holding the bag. Finally, there is no time.. Grok concurred that the treaty discussion initiated by Norway was deemed irrelevant to defense as interpreted under semantic analysis, more a danse diplomatique than macabre.)

(Gemini Deep Research: review of Callard, 2025, from secondary sources. The conclusion sums up the terms. See the book's Table of Contents for more. Also, Gemini 2.5 Pro can look for uniqueness of the author's interpretation of the Socratic Method. Or the dialectical styles and tensions of the popular Chatbots, for that matter. Gemini Personalization model can talk about the user's, hinting at core beliefs/interests, based on their history. Related references might include Penn's Writing the Shadow, or Allen's Why Plato Wrote. On a rhetorical triangle of speaker/content/audience, this might be somewhere between Quora and POE. Rather than only a synthesis like Plato or Hegel, or aporia like Derrida, this might look for alternatives. Google AI Mode casts this framework as a contrast to Aristotle's eudaimonia based on endoxa.)

Planning Anything with Rigor: General-Purpose Zero-Shot Planning...

(How might image generators solve p;problems?
Elsewhere people used to read a lot, courses were gut or food for thought. Now social media is prevalent, so how is that used?
Robots are still unnerving.
In any case, Godel remains, and cybernetics. Where is the determinism? Can any element remotely know another without the direct prompt? Or would that have to become a function of long-term evolution. In which case, what are the competing or environmental factors?
Thiis may become interesting when robots like Optimus are sent on long-range missions such as Mars without humans around and occasionally on comms. How can that be tested more locally ahead of time? Other than by starving them of resources.
Who picks the missions? Scary version.
Perhaps a Tyrell origin story. Old Norse or French.
Who picks Tyrell?
What is the implicit goal?
Incidentally, early on, Minsky reportedly favored tele-presence. Others later looked at expert systems. Assuming they are not hallucinating, machines are also capable of augmented or mixed reality. How do they know the difference? How do people, in either sense? Other than biases.
Or Space Force interns go DOGE versus Delphi mode.
Backtracking through the plan, from results to analysis or methods, how do they pick better questions or problem sets?
Does self-reporting evidence subjectivity? Are there Platonic or universal prompts or are they personalized or localized? Can those be made equivalent through a dictionary? Is this another form of mimicry where the collaborating or training partner or source is then removed? Expecting Enlightenment. At least pattern affinity. Why AI?)
