Dji Osmo Pocket Nd Filter Set Nd2-32 1/4 3, - K&F Concept
As seen online:
“If you're following the rules of shooting video, doubling your frame rate for 30p, and shooting at 1/60th, then you really only need the ND16. ND8 is not strong enough for full sun, and ND32 is a little too heavy. ND16, when ISO is left on 50-3200 auto, will cover you from a dark room to full sun without going above 1800 ISO and without peaking highlights at ISO 50. However, if you prefer to set your ISO at 800 and rely entirely on NDs for your exposure, the heavier NDs will be appreciated. If you're shooting at 24 or 25p then the ND32 might cover you for the full day sun a little better. ”

American Rhetoric: Martin Luther King, Jr. - I've Been to the Mountaintop (April 3 1968)
As seen online:
“All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper." If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”

Are we witnessing the death of expertise? | Tom Nichols talking to Meghna Chakrabarti
Are we witnessing the death of expertise? | On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti:
As seen online:
“CHAKRABARTI: And so we're going to spend the rest of the hour, Tom, talking about the consequences of this draining of expertise. But what do you think the consequence is first and foremost on the American people?
NICHOLS: The draining of expertise from the national government means people are going to die, whether they are in combat and being sent to try to spackle over the problems that Donald Trump left by waving away the consequences of a war of choice whether it's people who refuse to take vaccines because Robert F. Kennedy, I can't believe, in the same way that I have trouble saying Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. I almost can't get my head around Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The draining of expertise from the national government means people are going to die. But people are going to lose jobs. People are going to suffer economically. I think it's easy to dismiss expertise in the government because most of the time the effect of expertise on your life as an American citizen is more or less invisible. Things just work. Things just go, the lights go on, airplanes fly, oil gets delivered and so on. But I think what we're seeing now is the collapse of government, of expertise in the government is much Hemingway once said about going bankrupt. How do you go bankrupt? Gradually, and then all at once. ”

Has America’s Character Been Turned on a Dime? Trump and taking

I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.””

Ammar Younas & Yi Zeng, Towards Culture Driven Artificial Intelligence to Bridge the Cultural Cognition Gap - PhilArchive:
As seen online:
“Intelligence, whether artificial or human, cannot be fully understood without recognizing its cultural foundations and adaptive contexts. This Perspective introduces two key contributions. First, it defines the Cultural Cognition Gap, the disconnect between AI’s static, pattern-based reasoning and the dynamic, culturally adaptive nature of human cognition, evident in real-world deployment failures. Second, it proposes Culture Driven AI, a conceptual and normative framework advocating for AI systems designed to engage with cultural plurality and fluidity as central features of intelligent behavior”

Rural depopulation and the rural-urban gap in cognitive functioning among older adults - PMC
As seen online:
“Older adults living in rural counties had lower cognitive functioning than urban adults. The interaction between living in a rural and depopulated county was statistically significant (P < .001). The rural penalty in cognitive functioning was 40% larger for those who lived in counties that lost population between 1980 and 2010 compared to those who lived in stable or growing rural counties. These results were independent of race-ethnicity, gender, age, education, income, region, employment status, marital status, physical health, and depression as well as the county’s racial-ethnic composition, age structure, economic and educational disadvantage, and health care shortages.”

As seen online:
“However, educational alignment with workforce gaps is only a short-term fix. These gaps will always persist because the fast-paced shifts in technology cannot be predicted far enough in advance to reskill workers. Just-in-time education will only get us to the next gap. Instead, we should be focusing our efforts on closing the cognition gap whereby youth and adult learners alike shift their mindset to constant learning, comfort with change, and adaptability to new environments.”

The Politics of Apocalypse: The Rise of American Evangelical Zionism - LSE Undergraduate Political Review
To evangelicals, the return of Jesus to Earth necessitates the Jews to return and live in the Holy Land – a vision complicated by the estimated 5 million Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank and would necessitate their expulsion – to fulfil Armageddon and Jesus Christ's eventual return to Earth. However, one could argue such a theory is fundamentally anti-Semitic, as it essentially calls for the destruction of all non-believers of Christianity and allows Jewish people little agency or self-determination.

Your Brain Is the Target — And You Don’t Even Know It – Robin Ayoub
As seen online:
“In this episode of Localization Fireside Chat, I sat down with three of the most compelling thinkers working at the intersection of technology and human cognition: Len Noe, the world’s first augmented ethical hacker with 11 pieces of technology implanted in his own body; Mike Elkins, Chief Human and Information Security Officer at Humanist Technologies; and Winn Schwartau, a cybersecurity pioneer who has been sounding the alarm on cognitive threats since 1983. What followed was one of the most unsettling and necessary conversations I have hosted on this podcast. The thesis is simple and the implications are enormous: the human brain has replaced the network as the most valuable attack surface in cyberspace.”

The Cognitive Gap | Issue 156 | Philosophy Now
As seen online:
“On the one side, we have the cognitivists, and on the other the non-cognitivists. These two factions of metaethicists are sitting on either side of what we could call the cognitive gap.
Cognitivists ... all agree that moral judgments express cognitive (that is, intellectual) states which track mind-independent moral properties such as rightness and wrongness. These moral properties are thought by the speakers to be part of objective reality.
... Non-cognitivists argue, conversely, that emotional and expressive (that is, non-intellectual) mental states must be underlying moral language. By the non-cognitivist interpretation, we are not picking up on any moral facts of the situation when we make moral assertions ... we are simply expressing our personal emotions or convictions about moral issues. Non-cognitivists claim that by saying ‘Killing is wrong’, we in fact mean something like ‘Boo to killing!’ or ‘Don’t kill!’ ”
