My great-grandmother, Anna Vitoch, came to New York from what is now Czechia in 1912. She was a house maid. Her children included doctors and a grandchild a research biologist. Czechs were considered by the racists of the time “undesirable immigrants”, “criminals”, “paupers”, “papists”.

Besides being racist and false, this suggests science is only carried out by a few geniuses who claim prizes, whereas in reality science relies on smart and diligent people committed to collaboration and discovery without special recognition.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

La IA lleva automáticamente a tener resultados de lo que sea. A mí qué me importan los resultados si lo que importa es el proceso. Por eso te gusta la gente aunque no te dé bola. Porque si fuera por resultados no existiría ni el amor, ni la creación, ni el perder el tiempo que es lo mejor de la vida

When they tell us "there is no alternative," what they mean is "stop trying to think of alternatives." To imagine radically is to move beyond the helplessness of prediction: a radical imagination dares to insist that history is what we make, not what happens to us.

Prediction is a weak and helpless activity, the obsession of people who don't think they can change anything. It's the superstitious dread that gives rise to astrology. Far better to be a Luddite who asserts that there is more than one way to introduce a technology to a society.

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Si estos números en lugar de traerlos bajo el brazo la Camarada Yoli te los presentase la derecha, serían celebrados a bombo y platillo por la prensa patria como un nuevo milagro económico.
