Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general. @HumanProgress

From principles to practice: Ethical leadership in a time of threat. Abstract: As political and legal pressures mount against diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and antiracism initiatives, higher education faces intensified scrutiny. This brief argues that ethical leadership, grounded in civil and human rights, accountability, and integrity, is essential for preserving academic freedom and institutional autonomy. We outline how cabinet-level diversity officers and campus leaders can uphold core values through proactive engagement, transparent communication, and distributed leadership. Finally, we argue for strengthening and more explicitly articulating ethical guidance for diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and antiracism leadership in politically charged contexts. psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-42…

What are best and worst form of Governance? Why Aristotle was sceptical about Democracy and which was an ideal system according to him? More than 2,300 years ago, the Greek philosopher Aristotle carefully studied how different political systems work. In his book Politics, he tried to answer a simple but profound question: What is the best way to govern a state? Aristotle classified governments based on two factors: 1. Who rules 2. Whether they rule for the common good or for their own interest Using this approach, he identified six types of government, divided into good (pure) and corrupt (deviant) forms. 🔹 The Good Forms of Government • Monarchy – Rule by one virtuous ruler who governs for the good of all citizens. Aristotle believed this could be the best system if the ruler is wise and just. • Aristocracy – Rule by a small group of the most capable and virtuous people. The word literally means “rule of the best.” Aristotle thought this could work well if those in power truly prioritized the welfare of society. • Polity (Constitutional Government) – Rule by many citizens under laws and institutions that balance the interests of rich and poor. Aristotle actually saw this as the most practical and stable form of government in real societies. 🔸 The Corrupt Forms of Government Each good system, Aristotle argued, can deteriorate when rulers begin governing for their own benefit. • Tyranny – The corrupt form of monarchy, where a single ruler governs for personal power rather than the public good. • Oligarchy – The corrupt form of aristocracy, where a small wealthy elite rules only to protect its own economic interests. • Democracy – In Aristotle’s classification, democracy was the corrupt form of rule by the many. This point often surprises modern readers. Why did Aristotle consider democracy problematic? In ancient Greece, the word “democracy” referred to direct rule by the poor majority rather than the representative democracies we know today. Aristotle feared that when the majority ruled without restraint, they might pursue their own interests at the expense of justice, property rights, or minority groups. He worried that such systems could lead to: • Mob rule driven by emotion rather than reason • Policies favoring short-term gain instead of long-term stability • Conflicts between social classes For Aristotle, the ideal system was Polity, a balanced government combining elements of democracy and oligarchy. In such a system, laws and institutions prevent any one group from dominating the state.

पश्चिम और बाकी दुनिया से ईरान का टकराव कैसे शुरू हुआ ?? पिछ्ले 100 वर्षो की प्रमुख घटनायें 1901 → ब्रिटिश व्यापारी विलियम डार्सी को फारस (ईरान) में तेल निकालने का विशेष अधिकार मिला। इससे पश्चिम का ईरान के संसाधनों पर प्रभाव शुरू हुआ। 1908 → ईरान में बड़े तेल भंडार की खोज हुई। ब्रिटेन ने एंग्लो-पर्शियन ऑयल कंपनी के जरिए तेल उद्योग पर नियंत्रण मजबूत किया। 1921 → रज़ा खान ने सैन्य तख्तापलट किया और सत्ता में आए। 1925 → रज़ा शाह पहलवी ने पहलवी राजवंश स्थापित किया और पश्चिमी शैली के आधुनिकीकरण की शुरुआत की। 1941 → द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान ब्रिटेन और सोवियत संघ ने ईरान पर कब्जा किया। रज़ा शाह को सत्ता छोड़नी पड़ी। 1951 → प्रधानमंत्री मोहम्मद मोसद्देक ने ईरान के तेल उद्योग का राष्ट्रीयकरण किया, जिससे ब्रिटेन और पश्चिम नाराज़ हो गए। 1953 → अमेरिका की CIA और ब्रिटेन की MI6 ने ऑपरेशन Ajax के तहत तख्तापलट कर मोसद्देक को हटाया और शाह को दोबारा सत्ता में बैठाया। यहीं से पश्चिम के खिलाफ गहरा अविश्वास पैदा हुआ। 1963 → शाह ने “व्हाइट रेवोल्यूशन” नाम से सुधार कार्यक्रम शुरू किया, जिसका धार्मिक नेताओं ने विरोध किया। 1979 → इस्लामिक क्रांति हुई, शाह की सत्ता खत्म हुई और अयातुल्लाह खुमैनी के नेतृत्व में इस्लामिक रिपब्लिक ऑफ ईरान बना। 1979–1981 → तेहरान में अमेरिकी दूतावास पर कब्जा किया गया और 52 अमेरिकी बंधक 444 दिनों तक कैद रहे। अमेरिका-ईरान संबंध टूट गए। 1980–1988 → ईरान-इराक युद्ध हुआ। कई पश्चिमी देशों और खाड़ी देशों ने इराक का समर्थन किया। 1988 → अमेरिकी युद्धपोत ने गलती से ईरान एयर फ्लाइट 655 को मार गिराया, जिसमें 290 लोग मारे गए। 1995 → अमेरिका ने ईरान पर व्यापार प्रतिबंध और आर्थिक प्रतिबंध लगाए। 2002 → ईरान के गुप्त परमाणु कार्यक्रम (नतांज़ और अराक) का खुलासा हुआ। 2006–2013 → संयुक्त राष्ट्र, यूरोपीय संघ और अमेरिका ने ईरान पर कड़े आर्थिक प्रतिबंध लगाए। 2011 से आगे → ईरान ने सीरिया, इराक, लेबनान और यमन में अपने प्रभाव और सहयोगियों को मजबूत किया, जिससे क्षेत्रीय तनाव बढ़ा। 2015 → ईरान और विश्व शक्तियों के बीच JCPOA परमाणु समझौता हुआ। 2018 → अमेरिका ने परमाणु समझौते से बाहर निकलकर फिर से प्रतिबंध लगा दिए। 2020 → अमेरिका ने ईरानी जनरल क़ासिम सुलेमानी को ड्रोन हमले में मार दिया। 2020–वर्तमान → ईरान, अमेरिका, इज़राइल और पश्चिमी देशों के बीच परमाणु कार्यक्रम, प्रतिबंध और क्षेत्रीय संघर्षों को लेकर तनाव जारी है। #Iran #history

Are language models intelligent enough for entrepreneurial work? A language-centered perspective - ScienceDirect sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are poised to fundamentally reshape entrepreneurial work, but it remains unclear whether this technology can support judgment-intensive entrepreneurial tasks. Prevailing skepticism holds that LLMs are inherently unreliable for such deep augmentation because, despite their language competence, they do not think. In contrast, we draw on Ludwig Wittgenstein and Alan Turing to advance a language-centered perspective on entrepreneurial work. Wittgenstein demystifies thought as linguistic activity and treats reasoning and understanding as linguistic abilities exercised in thinking. Extending this stance to the domain of machine intelligence, Turing grounds claims about intelligence in testable performances of language use. Together, they enable us to (1) conceptualize LLMs as an epistemic technology whose linguistic competence may suffice for the deep augmentation of entrepreneurship and (2) reorient research from skepticism toward fine-grained Turing tests of entrepreneurial work. We illustrate and support the language-centered perspective through two studies on crafting effective entrepreneurial narratives, a judgment-intensive task. Initially, we document that the LLM competently blends expert rhetorical strategies to create and refine narratives that effectively align with stakeholder needs. We then experimentally demonstrate that, when coupled with stakeholder-guided iterations, LLMs produce measurable improvements in narratives tailored to distinct stakeholder priorities. More broadly, our rethinking of entrepreneurial work through language-centered lenses helps theoretically support bold predictions about what entrepreneurs can accomplish with a nonhuman intelligence that has “only” mastered human language.
