John Nash: When Reason Cannot Fully Trust Itself - This paper examines the life of mathematician #JohnNash Jr., separating the real history from the version shown in #ABeautifulMind, whose visual #hallucinations were a cinematic device rather than an account of what #Nash experienced. Drawing on his autobiographical essay for the #NobelPrize, it traces how his mental disturbances began in early 1959 while he was on the MIT faculty, when he was diagnosed with what was then called #paranoidschizophrenia. The central argument is that extraordinary intelligence offers no guarantee of reliable judgment, because the same mind that produced foundational work in game theory could also build coherent but untenable beliefs about the world - disabled-world.com/disabilit…

Memories are freaking fascinating. I love the mix of straight up brain science + proteins + biology + psychology ...
Reconstructing a memory is interesting work!

"Chronic illness did not explain Lesya Ukrainka's literature. War did not create the cultural value of The Forest Song. Neither should be romanticized as a productive force."

"Independence here does not mean absence of dependency. It means retaining authority over thought while using whatever infrastructure makes thought possible."
