My social media profiles mention that I'm a recovering academic. What do I mean by that, and why do I think it's important?

Good morning. 
7 May 2025
My brain is working overtime—I can almost feel my frontal lobes overheating as I try to think through everything. Oh 
... it stormed last night, with plenty of thunder and lightning. You know how, when lightning strikes close by, the entire sky erupts into a brilliant flash? That happened last night. Not close enough to cause any damage, I think, but close enough to make an impression. The thunderclap was particularly loud—sharp and startling, the kind that demands attention. Ben just wandered in and curled up behind my chair, a quiet comfort for both of us. He didn’t eat this morning, though he did lick at some of the chicken and rice my wife prepared for him. I’ll give him his meds in a bit. Funny how that old saying rings true: ‘When it rains, it pours.
"If there were no thunder, then men would have little fear of lightning." — Jules Verne
#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Achim #Stephan: “I feel, therefore I am. How #feelings influence our #thinking.”
He was Professor of #Philosophy of #Cognition at the University of Osnabrück and Dean of the #CognitiveScience program. His main field of work is the #philosophyofmind, and in particular #emergence, #emotions and #affectivity, from #predictability to #selforganization”.

Self-discipline in #thinking is very difficult in childhood and #adolescence. This makes it all the more important for #children and young people to come into contact with it and learn methods and techniques that give them access to #intellectual #hygiene That is why the #curriculum must be supplemented with intellectual and spiritual #education, such as exercises in #concentration or #meditation.
#Realists vs. #nominalists - or the old #dualism “#thinking vs. #language”
In the next series, I would like to revisit an old problem that deals with the question: “How much #construction does #reality contain?”. To determine this, you don't even need “#VR (#virtual #reality) glasses” to “look the supposed #reality in the eye”.

The #rebirth of the #renaissance - or the renaissance of #modern #man in the light of #artificial/#artistic #intelligence
The essay focuses on the #image of man, #art, #science and #thinking of that #time and attempts to build a #bridge to the #new #age. Based on the #assumption that we are currently also in a kind of “Renaissance”, the aim is to establish links to the era of that #time.

#ITByte: #Systems #Thinking is a holistic approach to problem-solving that emphasizes understanding the interconnectedness and relationships within a system.
It moves beyond viewing problems as isolated events and considers the broader context, including how components interact and influence each other over time.

New technologies are changing the way we operate and communicate. Yet, we should ensure we don't outsource all our thinking to faceless machines, especially proprietary systems controlled by giant corporations.

What employers really want out of employees isn’t what most of them think it is, which is why most businesses fail. And then they blame the education system. Except they’re blaming it for the wrong thing. I try to explain: https://tinyurl.com/2wr2bm5c #jobs #teaching #employment #thinking #advertising

In his new book, Thinking with Tinderbox, our friend Mark Bernstein explores how we use paper, notecards, or apps to support our thinking, and takes a look at the way art, literature, and philosophy created the systems we use today.
