Pauca sed matura

Gauss came from extremely humble origins. His grandfather was a landless peasant; his father was a jobbing gardener and bricklayer. Gauss attended the poorest kind of local school.

His personal seal showed a tree with only one sparse fruit, and the motto, Pauca sed matura - "Few, but ripe."

- Prime Obsession, John Derbyshire

Noether taught at Erlangen for the next seven years with no salary, sometimes substituting for her father. David Hilbert sought to bring her into the mathematics department at the University of Göttingen in 1915, but other faculty objected. “What will our soldiers think when they return to the university and find that they are required to learn at the feet of a woman?” one professor complained. Hilbert was indignant. “I do not see that the sex of the candidate is an argument against her admission,” he retorted. “We are a university, not a bath house.” - March 23, 1882: Birth of Emmy Noether

Apropos of Nothing

Hachette Book Group on Friday dropped its plans to publish Woody Allen’s autobiography and said it would return all rights to the author, a day after its employees protested its deal with the filmmaker. - Hachette Says It Won’t Publish Woody Allen’s Book

...Hachette executives had discussed the matter with its staff and, “After listening, we came to the conclusion that moving forward with publication would not be feasible for HBG.”
...
Hachette announced the book deal on Monday, saying its Grand Central Publishing imprint would release Mr. Allen’s autobiography, “Apropos of Nothing,” on April 7. Ronan Farrow, Mr. Allen’s son, whose book “Catch and Kill” was published by another Hachette imprint, criticized Hachette, calling its decision to publish Mr. Allen’s book a betrayal.

Staff walk out of Little, Brown in support of Ronan Farrow and his sister Dylan.

The Hachette decision to drop the Woody Allen book makes me very uneasy. It's not him; I don't give a damn about Mr. Allen. It's who gets muzzled next that worries me.

wring his bosom

When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can sooth her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?

The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom — is to die.

White blood cells within an organism are the equivalent of bigoted, intolerant, fascistic soldiers who not only hate foreigners, but also kill foreigners. The foreigners are what humans commonly call “disease”, i.e. viruses. The “evil” of cancer, for example, is the “evil” of individual cellular freedom to reproduce, unsubordinated to the good of “Big Brother”. Perhaps the real disease is not the flu, the cold, or cancer, but rather, intolerance of individual cellular freedom.

Cells were born free, but everywhere they are in chains!

все больше похоже на пародию

см. начало

Whereas the Nazis revived the hive model of human relations on its original, sociobiological, kin selective basis, the liberal democratic Anglo-Saxon state leads to a trajectory of equal individualism that is, very clearly, the utter and total negation of kin selection. Modern political reductionism is not equal to the hive model revived by the Nazis, and history clarifies why. The Anglo-Saxon state led to an egalitarian trajectory completely opposite of the Nazis because it was founded upon the death of an Anglo-Saxon Überorganism.

“Progress” means exploding the boundaries within which kinship can meaningfully cohere, and there is no reason to think that there is a viable end to this pattern. A movement that attempted to free the spleens, or egalitarianize the decision making influence of the brain and the liver, would result in death. Egalitarian progress is a death process that marks out this death trajectory on levels of increasing depth: individual humans can be liberated only at the expense of the Überorganism; individual cells can be liberated only at the expense of the death of an individual organism; individual organelles such as mitochondria can liberated only at the expense of the death of the cell.

в общем пародия тут вполне уместна. в конечном счете он вполне серьезен:

There is a reason why the problem of equal justice appears to be insolvable: Life is exploitation. In order to end exploitation, we must end life. In order to end exploitation, we must will death.

nature first

What percentage of the distinctive human capacity for learning is genetic? If there is a 1-2% genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees, this means that, somewhere in that small percentage, lay genes for the distinctively human capacities for learning. Before culture can be conceived as the breaker of biology’s leash, biology must make human culture possible in the first place.

The nature to nurture is what is most distinctly human. The unique dynamics of human culture and civilization are made possible by evolved biological differences between human animals and nonhuman animals. Is the analogous paradox of Jewish-universalism traceable to an inordinate biological capacity for learning?

- Mitchell Heisman, Suicide Note

Just as some whites once considered blacks so racially distinct that sexual intercourse was considered bestiality, progress would now demand that this stigmatization of bestiality be deemed uncivilized altogether. Bestiality emerges as the cutting edge of civilization. Discrimination against bestiality is thus barbarism. Marriage between human animals and nonhuman animals should be legalized and normalized. Despised animals of all species should emerge from their hiding corners. Ugly creatures of all species unite!

прямо Коммунистический Манифест написал Mitchell Heisman

Just as the breadth of the rights of individual organisms expands the kinship circle past speciesism so that nonhuman animals are included, the depth of rights expands the individual circle past only multicellular individualism so that the rights of single cell individuals are included.

attribution error

The general human tendency to ignore the effects of situations and to attribute problems to characteristics of individuals is so pervasive that social psychologists have a name for it: “The fundamental attribution error.”! It is exemplified by the DSM, in which symptoms of anxiety or depression that are intense enough for long enough are sufficient to diagnose an emotional disorder, no matter what life situation a person is in.

Social scientists Allan Horwitz and Jerome Wakefield suggested a way to reduce this error. They pointed out that the DSM-IV excluded the diagnosis of depression after the recent loss of a loved one, so they suggested including similar exclusions tor other severe life events. The DSM-5 authors acknowledged the inconsistency, but their solution was to eliminate all exclusions, even the one for recent loss of a loved one. They said this was necessary for consistency and because intense bereavement symptoms sometimes indicate depression that needs treatment. They also wanted to avoid the unreliability that would result if diagnosis required judging the severity of life events.

The Hot Spot

The Hot Spot is a 1990 American neo-noir film directed by Dennis Hopper and based on the 1952 book Hell Hath No Fury by Charles Williams, who also co-wrote the screenplay.

сюжет запутанный и неубедительный, растянут на два с лишним часа, но скучно не было, потому что Dennis Hopper с удовольствием снимает двух замечательно красивых женщин, когда одетых, а когда и голышом. играют неплохо все, и хрен с ним сюжетом.
