    1. The purse on Erasmus’s lap may be included in order to illustrate his generosity. Erasmus and Gillis made a point of informing More that they had split the cost of this gift because they wanted it to be a present from them both.

      Compare this suggestion of the purse as an attribute suggesting generosity to Jardine's (1996) suggestion that its meant to place Erasmus in the merchant class.

      (Of course it could be doing both.)

      One ought to notice the shears hanging on a nail or hook on the bookshelf in the background. Presumably these would have been a primary tool for Erasmus' ars excerpendi practice.

      Cross reference Lisa Jardine (1996) who calls out the purse on Erasmus' chest which identifies him as part of the merchant class.

      Also cross reference Hans Holbein's portraits of Erasmus.

    1. We maychuckle at John Cotton Dana's proposalin 1907 to use vending machines, justcoming into popular use for chewinggum and novelties, to display and circu-late books, but the concept behind themachine-that of the self-service li-brary-was and is a good idea. In hissuggestion that users insert their librarycard (or more precisely an encodedmetal strip "not larger than a Yale key")so borrower data could be recorded, wesee a distinctly modern application oftechnology to solve a library problem.

      I've actually used a library vending machine that had books and DVDs in it in the last 2 years at a local pizza parlor.

    1. Charles Ammi Cutter (1837-1903), the author of what is in Mr. Ranz’s opinion the finest library catalogue ever made. Cutter’s masterpiece is the five-volume catalogue of the Boston Atheneum, published between 1874 and 1882. “I’m not sure he wasn’t the greatest cataloguer that lived,” Mr. Ranz told me. The work is three thousand four hundred and two pages long, and is elaborately and commonsensically cross-referenced; it cost the Athenaeum almost a hundred thousand dollars to produce. It is still of interest and utility to historians—as is the card catalogue for the Athenaeum, which Cutter also developed.
    1. stupid question: is there a staple finisher with 2x center staples? i want to make booklets up to 50 sheets (from A4 paper, black/white print), but without folding, so they are flat for shipping. i have a low budget (1000 eur), so im looking at used Konica Minolta bizhub 363/364 printers with FS-534 Staple finisher.

      currently i do manual finishing from 4x Brother HL-L5100DN printers, which is too slow / too much work.


      justaprinter:

      I have never tried that but I bet the Konica finishers would do it

    1. Right now, I have a book in progress with Clark Quinn. Clark and I have known each other for 20 years, and it’s based on PKM, but it’s more of a how-to manual, right down to the actual process of personal knowledge mastery. The working title is Seek and Share, but we’ll see where it goes. So, we’ve been working on that for several months now.

      Harold is working on a book on PKM. Seek and Share is working title.

    1. However, I also believe that therapy should be about the client; there’s a line between self-disclosure and self-indulgent

      when is it a conversation, when are you making it about yourself only?

    2. Dr Yalom talks about this as well in the book and argues that self-disclosure can be useful to building connection, the thing that accounts for 80% of success in therapy.

      Sessions also contain self-disclosure by Yalom, against therapeutic condition, but here positioned as way to connect. (and I think regular interaction between ppl.)

    3. focusing on the ‘here and now’. Often, he picks up on the dynamic between him and the client and raises this with the client, linking it with the issue that brought them to him. Most of the time, this is effective.

      Yalom makes the meeting between the original request and the current setting / dynamic in the conversational pair the thing to explore.

    4. The book is a collection of stories of these one-off sessions, and they are fascinating to me as a psychologist. How effective can one hour of conversation be? It is true that Dr Yalom (or Irv, as he asks his clients to call him) does not promise to resolve his clients’ needs in one hour; in fact, every consultation is ended with him providing names of other clinicians and urging the client to continue with longer-term therapy.

      Yalom during Covid engaged in 1 hour sessions. Not as self-contained therapy, but still self-contained one-off conversations.

    1. Kommer den artificiella intelligensen att bli bättre på att tänka än den mänskliga? Kognitionsvetaren Peter Gärdenfors förklarar varför så inte är fallet.  Den mänskliga intelligensen består av en rad olika färdigheter och specialiteter som har förfinats under tusentals år. Mycket återstår innan den artificiella intelligensen kan mäta sig med det tänkande som inte bara människor utan även djur har. När vi förstår att vår intelligens är en bred palett av många olika förmågor ter sig tanken på att AI-tekniken trumfar oss i schack och kan skriva avancerade texter inte lika skrämmande. Utifrån ett brett forskningsunderlag förklarar Gärdenfors varför AI-tekniken inte kan och inte kommer att kunna tänka på samma sätt som människor och djur gör. »Peter Gärdenfors tilldelas Natur & Kulturs debattbokspris 2025 för att han fördjupar AI-debattens centrala begrepp och utmanar dess utgångspunkter. Med lätt språk och stabil lärdom blottlägger han tänkandets evolutionärt slipade mekanismer, och skärper bilden av vad intelligens är och vilken plats tekniken intar i vår digitala värld.« – Juryns motivering

    1. My own assessment is that the book, which reads like a thoroughly researched legal brief (more than 100 pages are devoted to notes, references and a very detailed index), makes the best possible case for the highly dubious proposition that the ideas of information theory influenced the substance, rather than merely the rhetoric, of research in molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s.

      Information theorist Solomon Golomb, who directly participated in the applications of information theory to early genetics, doesn't feel that it influenced the substance of molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s though it may have influenced the rhetoric.
