It will be about the ongoing #adaptation of intrinsic #brainactivity to #environmentalstimuli. In other words, the #brain's #own #activity, the so-called “#spontaneousactivity” with its “#scale-free #dynamics” (“#nestedness”, which is measured in the “#resting-state”) must adapt to #audiovisual #inputs from the #environment.

Scale… grow… ever larger… always…

Motherfucking rocket ships baby!

Who’s gonna be the European Elon Musk? We need one, right?!

Let’s embrace Big Tech and recreate Silicon Valley in Europe because what could fucking go wrong?

Instead of say… supporting small, decentralised technology that protects human rights and democracy. No, sorry, we have no money for that sort of crap.

(In our ten years of existence Small Technology Foundation has not received 1 fucking Euro from the EU. And this, so very clearly, explains why. Enjoy your European version of US technofascism when it arrives. You’ll have deserved it fully.)

First plague, then war.

“Regardless of which measure you consult, the past year has seen a sharp increase in global #spending on #defence. Budgets totalled $2.7trn in 2024—up by 9.4% from 2023, the biggest jump since at least 1988.

#Military outlays now account for 2.5% of countries’ gdp on average, and 7.1% of government budgets. But the increase is even steeper when adjusted for purchasing power (see chart 1). With help from #PeterRobertson of the #UniversityofWesternAustralia, we estimate that global #defence #spending rose by 10% in real terms.”

What got me to read the article? The notation, “$bn, log scale” graph. #Graphs shown in log #scale.

Meaning the economist pitch to readership is high in statistical education OR it’s from an Academic source.
