Jeffrey Sachs's takes are getting boosted by the algorithms lately. He's a smooth talker on the issue of the Ukraine/Russia war, and his goal of like an enduring global peace makes him a sympathetic voice. BUT, his views are best taken with massive grains of salt. voxukraine.org/en/open-lett...

Een test van het @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social idee (of eigenlijk GL) om ‘universele erfenis’ te geven: een eenmalig bedrag aan jong-volwassenen. Niet verrassend is dat de vermogensongelijkheid omlaag gaat. (En die is extreem hoog in Nederland).

"Ik sta hier niet om de coalitie overeind te houden", zei partijleider Bikker van de ChristenUnie. "Ik sta hier wel om de Onderwijsbegroting te verbeteren." If you weren’t already suspicious of doctrine of double effect reasoning, you certainly should be now.

CDA en CU hebben met hun onderhandelingen bereikt dat er 1,25 miljard wordt bezuinigd op onderwijs. Hadden ze gewoon hun poot stijf gehouden, niet onderhandeld en in de Eerste Kamer tegen gestemd, dan was die hele begroting gesneuveld en was er niet bezuinigd op onderwijs. Lekker gewerkt, CDA en CU.

Exact. Én het lijkt er nu op dat het voornaamste doel van de WIB is om de bezuinigingen te realiseren. Het is onverstandig (to say the least) om de inhoud van je onderwijsbeleid af te laten hangen van een min of meer arbitrair en vooraf bepaald bezuinigingsdoel. #doehetniet

WOinActie neemt kennis van de berichten in de media over een schamel en irrelevant tegenbod van de coalitie met betrekking tot de bezuinigingen. WOinActie blijft bij het standpunt dat de bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs funest zijn voor de toekomst van Nederland en van tafel moeten. 1/

Today, 20+thousand students and academics came together to stand against the devastating budget cuts to higher education in the Netherlands.The energy was great, and the attendees were inspiring. I’m even allowing myself to feel a tiny spark of hope. #dohetniet #AoB #WOinActie

In a small study, doctors who were given ChatGPT to diagnose illness did only slightly better than doctors who did not. But the chatbot alone outperformed all the doctors.

Hi everyone! I'm a philosopher interested in criminal responsibility, blame, punishment, and neuroethics. Currently I'm researching managing crime by exclusion: whether forcing people to avoid particular individuals or places is a good way to reduce crime.

Looking for work on justice and social worsening (for lack of a better word). Like, if a society is on a more or less downward trajectory due to demographic shifts, staffing shortages in core sectors, or climate stuff what does justice require in terms of how to move further from the ideal? Thanks!
