> People in humanities still haven’t understood that pretty mich everything in their fields is never all black or all white

I think most would be very open to be checked on their priors, but I would be very surprised if those could be designated a single color. In fact, the humanities revel in various hues and grays rather than stark contrasts.

It's process over product, but somehow we've come to regard the 'product' as end goal over all else. Yet no product lasts forever.

In a similar boat, but have been increasingly returning to for its quick notebook/charting capabilities. Would be awesome to somehow be able to select between different UI modes offering search, ranking, graphing or else depending on user needs.

Historically to prevent pre-contamination and erroneous biosignature readings. This may ease once we have some solid pointers or confidence there may be none (caution is likely warranted due to the gravity of such a discovery).

But we also lose opportunity.

Consider Mars. Endless probes for 50 years going to Mars looking for life. No clue of life has ever been found. At what point do we face the fact that Mars is a dead rock?

What we should be doing is collecting samples of extremophiles from the Earth, and attaching a few packets of them to every probe going to Mars, and see what happens. Probably nothing will happen, but it's worth a try.

A specific market collapse, or a general one?

Quick edit: I also dislike the persistent narrative of 'guaranteed' placement for certain degrees and occupations. This assumes a stagnant market and skill-set that does not at all hold for current-day markets.

The "people think they're guaranteed a job" narrative is because the author is a right-wing journalist who "exposes" academics.

That will depend on if it fits the narrative or not.

It's unfortunate GrapgQL co-opted the terminology because it's quite different from the kinds of graphs these databases attempt to model.

I don't think the cognitive models are that distinct, just a different way in which relations are stored. In any case, not distinct enough to warrant 'unlearning' relational approaches. While I find graph based approaches more natural to some problems we can stretch the relational paradigm quite a bit.

There's a fitting quote from 2017's Columbus:

> "[...] in its place, he identifies a different kind of crisis. Not the crisis of attention, but the crisis of interest."

Our attention in fact, has never been as fully absorbed as is today's. In place of books and architecture (as in the film), our attention has shifted towards more rapid forms. Yet in terms of hours spent, our 'attention' towards them has massively increased.

Is the crisis we're feeling then one of purported inattention, or a general loss of interest and satisfaction from our surrounds? What has spurred this crisis? Gabriel and Casey's conversation ends:

> "What about everyday life? Are we losing interest in everyday life?"

The film offers an hopeful answer.

The illusive onion flow state!
