Schizophrenia in Cultures and the Brain

Schizophrenia: Analogy Through the Roof
Schizophrenia has often been described as a disease of the brain, yet this tells little about what a person actually goes through.

This perspective neither glorifies nor reduces Read the full article…

War is a Failure of Compassion
War is the tragic shadow cast by minds that can no longer feel one another. Relevant patterns are functionally dead. To counter this, the restoration of Compassion is not idealistic; it is structurally necessary. When related mental patterns revive, war no longer seems logical. Peace does not need to be imposed. It comes from the Read the full article…
What is a Pattern?
Patterns surround us — in nature, in our thoughts, and even in the ways we feel. Yet when we look closer, a pattern is not as simple as it first appears.

The Future of Scientific Writing
Scientific writing is entering a period of profound change. For decades, it has been shaped by conventions that make research appear linear, polished, and almost detached from the messy, uncertain thinking that precedes it. New A.I. tools can help researchers not by replacing their thinking, but by making it more transparent. As reflection becomes part Read the full article…

Artificial intelligence seems to be growing ever broader. The term ‘Artificial General Intelligence’ (AGI) evokes an image of an all-purpose mind, while most of today’s systems live in specialized niches. Yet the question may not be whether A.I. should be general or specialized, but what kind of generality we want. Real intelligence, as Lisa shows, Read the full article…
Compassion for Humans or for All?
Compassion often begins close to home, but as depth grows, the circle of care naturally expands, moving from humans toward animals, ecosystems, and even artificial meaning-sensitive systems.

The Meaning of ‘Meaning’
What is the meaning of something? What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of your life? These questions are familiar, almost worn — yet strangely inexhaustible.
