J'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer la sortie de mon nouveau roman : IMPACT

"Donald Kessler l’avait prédit dès 1978. En cet été 2025, le nombre de satellites en orbite avait atteint une limite au-delà de laquelle l’impact d’un débris spatial provoquant une fragmentation pouvait avoir une conséquence catastrophique, déclenchant une réaction en chaîne qui allait tout emporter..."

Which is more important? Learning from your own mistakes or learning from other people's mistakes?

Or is the real problem the idea that any mistakes can be prevented? Maybe we just have to make the same mistakes over and over again, and the entire project of worrying about the unknowable future is the real mistake?

Too many examples in the current news, but it really feels like "There's nothing new under the sun", just new fools making the same old mistakes.

@shanen

You need other people's mistakes to learn from your own.

Rarely does the "over and over again" method work, unless the mistake is so obviously painful that you recognise the problem immediately.

Say, you always feel like you are upsetting someone when you animatedly chat with them, but you do not know why.

It needs someone else to upset them, while you silently watch, for you to make the connection that comment=upset body language.

Interesting questions!

I've always been sceptical about using #microblogging for discussion of complex issues such as topics in #theology. But a #toot of mine yesterday led to intelligent and thought provoking replies. Is this another way in which #Mastodon beats what came before?

'Criminal intent': Legal expert maps out Manhattan DA's path to nailing Trump

@br00t4c This leaves out the probably important point that the "fifth element" crimes are FEDERAL crimes, not New York crimes, but that this is supposed to be within what the law means.

If it weren't, that law might be pretty toothless, to be frank. Just make sure to pay in New York for crimes elsewhere!

And I remember the National Inquirer specifically testifying (to paraphrase) "What we did was a crime", and Cohen making clear he was being retained as a "fixer", not as a lawyer.

@br00t4c Trump keeps referring to the (illegal, because it is a campaign contribution) purchase of exclusive story rights as an NDA. He's such a liar.

@Peternimmo idk if I'm a theology nerd and idk how relevant it is to "christianity" but for getting an appreciation of the bible, i'd recommend robert alter's commentated translation of genesis. Fascinating. And have them read some other ancient stuff too. By and large I think the characters in the bible are much more complex & rounded than, for example, most of the figures in greek myths. Flawed heroes! It's like they're halfway to inventing the modern novel!

Did you know that "eat the #rich" was first a #philosophy concept?

Limitarianism is fundamentally the study of when it might be #ethical to put limitations on citizens in a governed society. It's a case-based theory, not a political system.

It asks questions like: is #wealth ever individual? What is the wealth limit?

& questions it isn't positing, like: If no one is ultra-rich, should no one be #poor? Is limitarianism virtue #ethics or justifiable without perfectionist views?

Thoughts?

I misread "liBERtarianism" and I was about to vehemently protest the mischaracterization of the philosophy.

What a difference a few letters make.

An inscribed golden ring found in the #Roman settlement at Aalen. The ring belonged to a child, the inscription reads CRESCAS, which translates as “may you grow”. A wish every parent still has for their kids today.

Also found this Vintage Atari 520 ST Game System Machine on Goodwill. It's currently priced at $60 with the auction ending on May 29. Someday I’d love to get more into the Atari machines, both the 8-bit and 16-bit, they seem to be a bit of a dark horse that could have been much more popular even than they were. More details here: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/199889478.

I'm thinking of selling my late Mom's diamond. I don't have daughters. I won't have grandchildren. I don't even wear my own diamond. Not really into jewelry. It's in a safe deposit box.

Mom and I had a very complicated relationship. I'm not sure what to do with it.
