I would just like to thank Trump and FIFA for making the World Cup suddenly interesting for all us nerds with no interest in football but an unhealthy obsession with political scandals. It's been a difficult time for us these past two weeks. You've really come through

I guess in sum: i get that folks want more prestige (and funding!) for older pasts, but i worry when we start leaning hard on continuity and teleology and emotional connection to get there becauae I've seen how pasts are politicised in Europe and it's really ugly 6/6

Leaning into ancestors and deep histories might well connect with europeans who want to see themselves as having deep roots in small ethno-territories, but it's a disservice to the weirdness, complexity and dynamism of the European past and it reinforces a lot of bad 19th c politics. My 2p 5/

Some people are asking if there were any "AI optimists." Many students would say something about how AI can be valuable for some things. But I was asking how it effects their education. In my small sample, no, nobody really described it as *improving* their education.

"Frontiers in" doing "Frontiers in" things. They were always going to keep those pesky editors away from the actual academic work. If anyone needed another reason not to publish there, this is it. 🧪🏺
