Yes, 1898 for asbestos!
> The earliest account of [the hazards of] asbestos was provided by Lucy Deane [in 1898], one of the first Women Inspectors of Factories in the UK. [T]hese laywomen might not have been categorised as [experts] but they were competent observers [& t]heir reports were not refuted but simply ignored.

Vietnam is suppressing independent trade unions and the right to organize. By enabling artificially low labor costs, Vietnamese companies are allowed unfair trade advantages. As To Lam visits the EU, trading partners need to make one thing clear: broken pledges will carry consequences. Read more:

Given that Nigeria is not a neighbor of DRC, this is worrying. Especially if it somehow gets to the cities (probably it got there by plane).

Uusimassa RTP:ssä käydään Ranskan tilannetta läpi ja millaiseen synkkyyteen se saattaa euroalueen viedä. Muina teemoina Suomen uudelleen heikentynyt työllisyystilanne, taloustieteen nobelit sekä viimeisin osa vuosia eri foorumeilla jatkuneessa epämukavassa keskustelussa Markus Sovalan kanssa.
Ei pitänyt tehdä eurokriisijaksoa, mutta sellainen tästä tuli. Ranskan viime aikojen korkokurimuksesta aukesi lopulta niin paljon näkymää. Lisäksi puhuimme taloustieteen "Nobeleista", Suomen työllisyyskehityksestä sekä tilastotrumpista. Viimeinen dialogissa TK:n pääjohtaja Sovalan kanssa. #podcast

When you start to see it... it's basically everywhere undergirding certain mainstream psychology and cognitive science theories. And it's so insidious and underneath so much methodological and theoretical machinery (pun intended) that we should question it much more.
I've felt for a while that a mainstream method, reverse engineering, in cognitive science & AI is incompatible w computationalism‼️ So I wrote "Modern Alchemy: Neurocognitive Reverse Engineering" w the wonderful Natalia S. & @irisvanrooij.bsky.social to elaborate: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/25289/ 1/n

I'm glad more people are openly posting this because it's so often presented as the opposite. Those who push back against "human = machine" are called dualists, Christians (as an insult), and worse in some weird "no you" attempt. It's not just here, I've seen it at conferences from philosophers!
Something odd happens if you argue that the concept of machine is not well fit to describe living systems. Often, the response is not just that it's wrong: it's heretic (vitalism!). What this says is that the machine view of life is more a modern crypto-Christian belief than a scientific theory.
