How important are luck and good fortune in science?

A new book argues that our ignorance is so large, lucky discoveries are inevitable.

As a scientist, I'd argue that luck is very important. But, Fortune favors the prepared mind.




A great usage for those ARM SBCs that you accumulated over the years in a drawer and probably won't ever boot again, is to install #batocera Linux and convert them in retro consoles.

It's a neat gift for friends and their kids who are surely going to appreciate it.

The New York Times is still an obscenity

Following their re-fashioning Trump’s planned mass ethnic purge of 15 million people as an “affordable housing programme,” they decided to re-frame Hitler-quoting book-burning extremist hate group “Moms for Liberty” as a run-of-the-mill group of “conservative moms” who can “can get a bit carried away” but are mostly “fired-up suburban women.”

The New York Times couldn’t be working harder to normalise literal fascism if they tried, and oh wait, they absolutely are trying.

They’re absolutely part of the problem. If we hadn’t already ditched ’em, we’d be doing it now.

62 days remain.

“Israeli torture chambers aren't new. They are what provoked the violence of Oct 7”

by Jonathan Cook on Substack

“If you were horrified by October 7, but are not more horrified by what Israel has been doing to Palestinians for more than half a century in its prisons, then you are either in a state of deep ignorance – hardly surprising given the lack of media coverage of Israel's despotic rule over Palestinians – or in deep denial“

When the dams came to Northern California, the Klamath River got sick, and nature and the Karuk and Yurok tribes—people of the salmon—suffered greatly. A generation of salmon died in one day. "The death of salmon means the death of our entire way," Brook Thompson told Lucy Sherriff for the BBC. “Everyone is connected. Taking these dams down is a life-or-death situation for us.” In 2024, after generations of struggle, they took the dams down and freed the river again.
