    Opinion: I Was Not Allowed To Type Prompts Into ChatGPT During My Chalk Talk And This Is Discrimination - By In Preparation

    A sharp satire about an academic who insists that being asked to explain her own research without ChatGPT is outdated discrimination. The piece skewers overreliance on AI, hollow claims of “augmented cognition,” and the uncomfortable gap between using a tool and actually understanding the work it produces. https://open.substack.com/pub/inpreparation/p/opinion-i-was-not-allowed-to-type?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.

    Your Book Review: Great And Desperate Cures - ACX Book Review

    How did one of modern medicine’s most infamous treatments become accepted practice? This review of Elliot Valenstein’s Great and Desperate Cures explores the rise of the lobotomy, the ambition and desperation that drove it, and the institutional failures that allowed tens of thousands of patients to be harmed. It is a gripping history, and an unsettling warning about what can happen when urgent demand, weak safeguards, professional incentives, and uncritical enthusiasm collide. https://open.substack.com/pub/astralcodexten/p/your-book-review-great-and-desperate?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.

    Why kinship societies kill their old - By David Oks

    Why do societies that venerate their elders sometimes turn violently against them? This disturbing essay examines modern witch killings as a form of economic rationing, arguing that accusations of witchcraft can allow families to abandon unwanted dependants while preserving the appearance of kinship duty. Drawing on cases from Ghana, Tanzania, India, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it makes a powerful case for pensions, social insurance, and institutions that separate familial love from material survival. * 00:00 - Introduction * 10:52 - Kinship societies are tense societies * 18:30 - Witch killings are about rationing resources * 26:49 - Mediating institutions mean you don’t have to kill dependents This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.
