I hate charitable dinners where most (or almost all) of the money goes to caviar, tuxedos, valet parking and other hoopla.
Fortunately there are other charitable dinners, where you wont see any <a title="https://www.escolar.net/MT/archives/2011/11/la-nueva-politica-de-igualdad.html" href="https://www.escolar.net/MT/archives/2011/11/la-nueva-politica-de-igualdad.html" target="_blank">PP mothers</a>, like yesterdays organized by Didi, where people sit on the floor, eat off plastic plates, and enjoy Didis deliciously vegan cooking and sincere love, so just about all money collected goes to Calcuttas orphans.
First things first: thanks to whomever thought I would be interested in joining MCA through RiseUp, BUT…
Don`t subscribe me to a list without my consent Don`t do so without at least letting me know who you are Don`t assume I might be interested in something because it sounds related to my interest Don`t align me with “scientific socialism” when I am a declared anarchist Don`t make me waste my time on a list where the first 20 or so messages are split between arguing troskist, marxist, rose of lenburguist, bujarinist, bakuninist, leninist, hotsiminist, guevarist, maoist, castrist… and people who want to be taken off the list So, thanks (and I show it by talking about your project here), but show a little respect for other people`s rights, please.
When a M. Phil. from Cambridge, A.B. from Harvard, and M.D. from UCal writes an article insisting on a probabilistic fallacy, a trap where, in one way or another, many have fallen (from Eccles to Nagel), and this article is echoed in many sites (such as BoingBoing) and an infographic is made and becomes staff pick at visual.ly… then you know ignorance is everywhere and very dangerous.
Read the article, then read Roy Weatherford`s “Philosophical foundations of probability theory” (or maybe something simpler), and once you grasp the concept of “a priori theories of probability”, laugh at those who think each one of us is a miracle… we all are, but not because the probability of us being born is extremely small.
October knew, of course, that the action of turning a page, of ending a chapter or of shutting a book, did not end a tale.
