  Agnotology: How Ignorance Gets Manufactured 📖 What Is Agnotology? We often think of ignorance as simply not knowing . But there’s a deeper, more troubling form of ignorance: the kind that’s deliberately created . That’s what agnotology studies. Coined by historian of science Robert N. Proctor , the term comes from Greek agnosis (“not knowing”) and -logy (“the study of”). Agnotology explores how misinformation, suppression of knowledge, and distraction are used to keep people uncertain. In other words: ignorance happens — but sometimes it’s made to happen.

  The Most Dangerous Force: Carlo M. Cipolla and the Laws of Human Stupidity In 1976, the Italian economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla published what may be one of the most disturbingly timeless essays of the 20th century: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity . In just 60 pages, he set out to explain what he believed to be the greatest existential threat to humanity—not war, not disease, not greed, but something far more pervasive and insidious: stupidity .

  “He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection.” — Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish

UTMB Best of 2024

The   International Trail Running Association (ITRA) Performance Index   is a ranking system designed to evaluate and compare trail runners globally. It provides a standardized measure of an athlete's performance based on their results in official trail running events recognized by ITRA. This system helps runners, coaches, and race organizers assess an athlete's skill level and is also used for entry qualifications in prestigious races like the UTMB® (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc).

In ultra-endurance disciplines such as ultra-trail running, most injuries (often referred to as “lesions” in sports medicine) stem from cumulative, repetitive stress rather than sudden traumatic events. Below are some of the most frequently observed problems:

  The short answer is   no , you cannot send usable (classical) information simply by measuring one half of an entangled pair—at least not in a way that circumvents normal communication channels. Although entangled particles have correlations in their measurement outcomes, these correlations alone cannot be used to transmit messages faster than light or in the absence of a classical signal. Below is a bit more detail on why: 1. Quantum Entanglement in a Nutshell Entanglement   is a quantum-mechanical phenomenon where the quantum states of two (or more) particles become linked. Measuring one entangled particle appears to “instantaneously” affect the state of the other, no matter the distance between them. Despite this “spooky” nature,   entanglement by itself does not allow you to send classical information   (i.e., readable messages) faster than light. 2. The No-Communication Theorem The   no-communication theorem   in quantum mechanics states that mea...

  "Faz agora 30 anos que foi lançado Enapália, uma verdadeira pedrada no charco. Um disco que veio abalar fundações, inquietar consciências e espalhar o evangelho da libertinagem. Passado este tempo todo, permanece intacto no seu estatuto de obra-prima obscura que toda a gente tem medo de dizer que admira. Apesar de ter saído há três décadas, a semente foi lançada quase dez anos antes disso. A origem dos Ena Pá 2000 foi plantada no início dos anos 80 com a criação do movimento Homeostética. No início do curso na Escola Superior de Belas Artes de Lisboa, um grupo de 6 artistas decidiu formar um colectivo artístico pluridisciplinar, absolutamente disruptivo, herdeiro dos vanguardismos modernistas de início do século XX, com afinidades ao Dadaísmo e seu amor pelo absurdo. Um movimento altamente produtivo – com produção artística bastante extensa e intensa entre 1982 e 86 – mas que ficou sempre nas camadas mais ocultas da cena artística portuguesa. Os Homeostéticos focaram-se essencia...

   ChatGPT Image "The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.” -  E. O. Wilson,   September 10, 2009. In a world where time itself seemed to fold inward, compressing centuries of progress into decades, and decades into mere years, Prometheus lived as both witness and participant. His name, inherited from the ancient Greek myth, spoke of foresight and renewal, a symbolic nod to humanity’s enduring spirit in the face of chaos. Yet, in this era, Prometheus found himself drowning in the torrent of exponential change that threatened to outpace human comprehension. The Beginning of Acceleration Prometheus was born i...

  It was a quiet evening when Alex realized the extent of their power. Over a decade of quiet, deliberate effort had culminated in this moment. For years, Alex had played the long game, masquerading as a friendly, skilled developer, quietly influencing one of the most trusted software libraries in the world. It wasn’t just code they had infiltrated—it was trust itself.

  It was a crisp winter afternoon when Adrian realized he’d mastered every system he’d ever tried to hack—except the most intricate one of all: people. He had spent years hunched over keyboards, bypassing firewalls, decrypting secured databases, and scraping information off the Dark Web. But none of that brought him the thrill he once felt. Computers, for all their complexity, had patterns he could read—like a puzzle that only needed logic and persistence to solve. So he shifted focus. He decided to hack people.

  The Fractured Path Prologue Liam Calder stood in the ruins of a world that could have been. The air was thick with ash, the sky a mournful gray. He stared at the city’s shattered skyline and felt the crushing weight of responsibility. The device in his hand hummed faintly, its cracked display flickering with the words:   "Wave Function Unstable. Collapse Imminent." He had tried to save everyone, but now, as the multiverse fractured around him, he wasn’t even sure who   everyone   was anymore.
