"Mazviita Chirimuuta ... wrote an extraordinarily beautiful book... It made me think about how many idealizations [such as the brain as a computer] are super helpful, even if they’re wrong." A kind shout-out for "The Brain Abstracted" from 2026 MacArthur fellow @felipedebrigard.bsky.social.

My university makes it nearly impossible for people like me to do the business of the university. Invite a speaker and provide an honorarium? They have to register as a vendor. Say you’ll reimburse their travel, instead? Good luck — that will take months. Want to host an event with snacks or food?
