Is verses ai (with friston as chief scientist and Maxwell Ramstead as senior director) in trouble? Some short sellers suggest a lack of rigor nightmarketresearch.com/verses/

I have published in favour of insect consciousness. But why these kinds of pamphlets? Science is not democracy, let alone should become politics. Also, why would having consciousness imply having rights? Or should having rights depend on having C? Sloppy philosophy of you ask me

Just got out of jail after Columbia called NYPD to mass arrest 100+ students. I have been suspended and evicted from housing by Barnard. This has only strengthened my commitment to the movement for Palestinian liberation and I promise to continue fighting for divestment.

Breaking news: Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been arrested for 'suspicion of incitement.' Jerusalem's Hebrew University suspended her last month after she said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. She told Democracy Now! her personal safety was at risk.

You have to fuck up on a truly historic level to get the NYPD to say “even we think these were meaningless arrests.” They love meaningless arrests!

So we are clear, Columbia & Barnard are un-housing student activists w/o any plan for their relocation bc they are…protesting a genocide. At night. In NYC.

This behavior is UNHINGED. All faculty everywhere should be speaking up about this gross abuse of students.

Columbia Professor Rebecca Jordan-Young: 'The faculty who are supporting the students do not all agree on the issue of Israel and Palestine...[but] we are astonished and disgusted with the way the university has cracked down on the students.'

Columbia administration is issuing new waves of suspensions to anyone that attempts to pick up their confiscated belongings. Many students including myself have laptops, medication, devices, and much more among these belongings. This is getting cartoonishly evil.

Columbia, I arrived in New York with a fellowship from you and a hundred and ten dollars borrowed from kind friends in Kolkata to study with Edward Said. It turns out you're still King's College, for empire, for apartheid, for police brutality against your brave students.

what's the value of having tenure if you can't even defend your own peacefully protesting students? how will you look them in the eye when they return to the classroom?
