"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century"
Une critique détaillée de la position de #Pinker selon qui le capitalisme industriel a permis à l'humanité de sortir de la pauvreté. Je parlais de cet argumentaire et de ses détracteurs dans cette note de blog :

"We have desires, and we pursue them using beliefs, which, when all goes well, are at least approximately or probabilistically true."

I’m reading about #AI in the broader sense and how it’s evolved. I worked in experimental perceptual psychology in the early 80’s and even have a paper with #StevenPinker! My career ended in data and information science, so I find #GroundedCognition very interesting - how our brains work as an intersection between #sensation and #cognition. It’s also the goal of #AI.

83 followers · 416 posts · Server mastodon.nuSamhällsutvecklingen har ställt framstegstroende som #StevenPinker och #JohanNorberg lite grann i skuggan, men det finns ändå en sak som jag tycker är värd att påpeka. Misstaget som optimister som Norberg gör är att tro att mänskligheten kan uppnå en "flykthastighet" (Norbergs uttryck), dvs. att Framsteget (vad det än är) inte kan göras ogjort och att en trend kommer att fortsätta för alltid.

144 followers · 2400 posts · Server vmst.ioThe plural of a compound noun depends on the meaning. If a [Prefix][Noun] is a type of [Noun], then it pluralises like [Noun], otherwise it's strictly regular. So a "half-life" is a type of life, which means the plural is "half-lives"; but a "lowlife" is not a type of life but a type of person, so the plural is "lowlifes", not "lowlives".
(Paraphrasing #StevenPinker .)

"Noted Harvard professor Steven Pinker wrote in his book, Enlightenment Now, that “intellectuals who call themselves ‘progressive’ really hate progress,” then blithely promoted the idea that heritable biological difference makes Ashkenazi Jews very smart and Black people… mmm, not so much.."
