Déjà Vu e il nostro senso della realtà. Più un altro paio di cose
Money quote: "For the past five years I have been suffering epileptic seizures resulting from the growth and eventual removal of a lemon-size tumor from the right-hand side of my brain. Before my diagnosis I appeared fit and healthy: I was in my mid-30s and displayed absolutely no symptoms. Until, that is, the afternoon that I woke up on the kitchen floor with two black eyes after suffering my first recorded seizure"

When Extreme Déjà Vu Destroys Your Sense of Reality
“I routinely struggle to discern the difference between lived events and dreams, between memories, hallucinations and the products of my imagination.”
Cattive madri, maternità sotto scrutinio, conflitti di potere tra maschi e femmine. Avere figli dopo la prima guerra mondiale ha aperto una fase completamente differente rispetto alla storia sociale dei secoli precedenti.
Money quote: "Note the double-edged sword of motherhood here. Attracting the praise of being a ‘good mother’ was always accompanied by the threat that you might fall from the perch at any moment and cause devastating harm to your child. Hence the amplification of mechanisms of control, censure and punishment that go hand in hand with the valorisation and surveillance of parenting. Deep within the medical and psychological frameworks promoting motherhood in this period, there lurks male anxiety over female power and influence"

E se gli smartphone avessero bruciato una generazione? Una cosa mai vista prima, ma che sta succedendo ai Millennials? Altro che "generazione digitale"...
Money quote: "I’ve been researching generational differences for 25 years, starting when I was a 22-year-old doctoral student in psychology. Typically, the characteristics that come to define a generation appear gradually, and along a continuum. Beliefs and behaviors that were already rising simply continue to do so. Millennials, for instance, are a highly individualistic generation, but individualism had been increasing since the Baby Boomers turned on, tuned in, and dropped out. I had grown accustomed to line graphs of trends that looked like modest hills and valleys. Then I began studying Athena’s generation.
Around 2012, I noticed abrupt shifts in teen behaviors and emotional states. The gentle slopes of the line graphs became steep mountains and sheer cliffs, and many of the distinctive characteristics of the Millennial generation began to disappear. In all my analyses of generational data—some reaching back to the 1930s—I had never seen anything like it."

More comfortable online than out partying, post-Millennials are safer, physically, than adolescents have ever been. But they’re on the brink of a mental-health crisis.
Sono andato in piscina, ho nuotato male e adesso ho mal di schiena: è partita come una contrattura e poi è diventata lombalgia a cui si è aggiunta anche un po' di sciatica, tanto per non farci mancare niente.
In questo articolo Vox spiega che probabilmente curiamo i nostri mal di schiena nel modo sbagliato. Perché non sono le medicine o le terapie anche chirurgiche la soluzione, bensì la meditazione e la psicoterapia. Teoria del complotto o forse dovremmo tutti rilassarci di più?
Money quote: "The big takeaway: Millions of back patients like Ramin are floundering in a medical system that isn’t equipped to help them. They’re pushed toward intrusive, addictive, expensive interventions that often fail or can even harm them, and away from things like yoga or psychotherapy, which actually seem to help. Meanwhile, Americans and their doctors have come to expect cures for everything — and back pain is one of those nearly universal ailments with no cure. Patients and taxpayers wind up paying the price for this failure, both in dollars and in health."
Money quote 2: "What I found surprised me: Many of these alternative approaches really do seem to help, though often with modest effects. But when you compare even those small benefits with the harm we’re currently doing while medically “treating” back pain, the horror of the status quo becomes clear. “No one dies of low back pain,” one back pain expert, University of Amsterdam assistant professor Sidney Rubinstein, summed up, “but people are now dying from the treatment.”"

Noi siamo la nostra memoria e le nostre esperienze? Facciamo un esperimento mentale: immaginiamo di essere su Marte, prossimi alla morte perché stanno finendo viveri e aria. Per fortuna abbiamo il teletrasporto: un potentissimo scanner che crea una immagine digitale del nostro essere precisa fino all'ultimo atomo, la teletrasmette sulla Terra e qui viene usata per creare da zero un altro noi.
Se dopo il teletrasporto abbiamo la possibilità di distruggere l'originale su Marte, moriamo oppure continuiamo a vivere sulla Terra? Chi è veramente noi, il marziano, il terrestre, entrambi, nessuno?
Money quote: "A residual conservatism in my nature prompts me to think that I would stay the old me, and the new me – whoever he is – would be like a twin to me, indeed more similar to the old me than any natural twin could possibly be. He would feel all the things I would feel, have the same memories, and be so very glad that he’s not starving on Mars. But, for all that, he would not be me: I would not be thinking or experiencing the things he is, nor would he be aware of my own increasingly desperate experience. But if this line of thinking is correct, I am suddenly very reluctant to turn the toggle over to the ‘destroy’ setting. For then it would seem that I would simply be annihilated on Mars, and some new guy on Earth, some guy a lot like me, would falsely believe he had survived the trip."

But Tinsley and Schaeffer both agreed: This was a battle between two men, each having prepared and tuned a unique instrument to defeat the other. Having been so dominant against humans for so long, Tinsley seemed to thrill at finally having some entity that could give him a real game. He had volunteered to play friendly matches against the computer in the run-up to their two world championship matches. And Schaeffer, though he was a bull-headed young man, had become the most effective promoter of Tinsley’s prowess and legacy"

La novità è che adesso il prezzo è livellato, forse siamo al costo puro per gigabyte: più sotto non si può andare.
Money quote: "For hard drive prices, the race to zero is over: nobody won. For the past 35+ years or so, hard drives prices have dropped, from around $500,000 per gigabyte in 1981 to less than $0.03 per gigabyte today. This includes the period of the Thailand drive crisis in 2012 that spiked hard drive prices. Matthew Komorowski has done an admirable job of documenting the hard drive price curve through March 2014 and we’d like to fill in the blanks with our own drive purchase data to complete the picture. As you’ll see, the hard drive pricing curve has flattened out."

Money quote: "Undoubtedly, a wide variety of social and environmental factors and processes have contributed to the patterns in language diversity we see across the globe. In some places topography, climate or the density of key natural resources may be more critical; in others the history of warfare, political organization or the subsistence strategies of different groups may play a bigger role in shaping group boundaries and language diversity patterns. What we have established for now is a template for a method that can be used to uncover the different processes at work in each location."

Japanese men can’t traditionally live openly as homosexuals. Many carry with them a great deal of shame, self-hatred and other negative feelings. So a large portion of what these boys are doing is more than just a sex act, which may only last for five minutes. In these moments — bathing with someone, being held by someone, having them wash their back and stroke their hair — customers are made to feel like everything is okay. That’s a big part of the urisen experience."

Two-thirds of Americans believe that “angels and demons are active in the world.” More than half say they’re absolutely certain heaven exists, and just as many are sure of the existence of a personal God—not a vague force or universal spirit or higher power, but some guy. A third of us believe not only that global warming is no big deal but that it’s a hoax perpetrated by scientists, the government, and journalists. A third believe that our earliest ancestors were humans just like us; that the government has, in league with the pharmaceutical industry, hidden evidence of natural cancer cures; that extraterrestrials have visited or are visiting Earth. Almost a quarter believe that vaccines cause autism, and that Donald Trump won the popular vote in 2016."
