Ginsbergâs poem famously begins âI saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madnessâ. I am luckier than Ginsberg. I got to see the best minds of my generation identify a problem and get to work.

IMO definitions of sentience that include shrimps are borderline useless.

Can you explain Panel B in Table 1 to me?
It looks to me like the income of the Caregivers in the treatment group is lower than in the control group.
Start and end time are not readable for me when creating and editing events in dark mode.

Usually classes (especially entry-level) are in German, which is a big hurdle. Universities can decide themselves to offer courses in English and set requirements for English and German levels (at the beginning or some point of the degree). Malengo researches the details (which might change year to year) for their own strategy and to support the students in finding a fitting degree.
University is relatively cheap (state-run universities are subsidized heavily), but foreign students donât get any other support (Germans do) and have to prove a source of income/âsufficient wealth for their visum.
I donât know the mechanics for working visas and permanent residency, but Iâd expect it to be relatively easy for someone who did their degree here.

How much does music, literature and art influence peopleâs perception of reality?
Where is it on the scale from âAll our opinions come from external sources.â via âThe messages in art are irrelevant, people enjoy things without it changing their worldview.â to âPeople consume only art that matches their worldview.â?
Is the âtech-rightâ getting more traction because it embraces AI art which is quick to generate and can be captivating?
Example (not sure if this person is âtech-rightâ): A song about Elon Musk with genuinely catchy music: https://ââyoutu.be/ââwWZYP5jn5w4
