Leaving #Seoul after an intense week!
The #ICLA2025 Congress was a blast. I especially enjoyed our "Digital Comparative Literature" sessions; great discussions! And the round table on responsible use of generative LLMs turned out really great as well, with a rather large audience.
The only less-than-great thing was that, unsurprisingly, I think I was basically the only one posting about the event here, with @icla_dcl / @rebsim.

It is a pleasure to see these old Victorian infographic maps as teaching aids on water bottles and other tchotchkes, I have always been fascinated by them and their place in geologic, geographic, cartographic history…

“Nowadays, detailed maps of any corner of the Earth are available for everyone. Detailed information about any geographical object on our planet can be got in just a few seconds. But two centuries ago, life was radically different. That’s why comparative infographic maps were viral in the 19th century, which allowed people to get information about the main geographical objects of our planet.”

A regular hike through the wilds of #Arashiyama (嵐山), in the southwest corner of Kyōto, in case you'd like to come along. The stars this day were #egrets (白鷺, white herons). As usual in Arashiyama, egrets but no regrets.

Re-evaluating various things lately, this was a job for Philosophy Path (哲学の道) along the eastern mountains of #Kyoto. Writers have asserted that Japan doesn't do #philosophy, mais non. To be sure, Mahayana #Buddhist #ontology eludes our grasp.
Furthermore, the #nature #symbolism that does the heavy lifting in real #haiku is not metaphysical or #abstract. For #teaching #haiku, winning contests, or more about the criteria for real haiku in #languages other than #Japanese, see "Internationalizing the Essence of Haiku Poetry" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323187189 or https://www.academia.edu/35927186
Thus, I was #walking along the #path and not #philosophizing per se, but just absorbed in the scenes like these captioned #photos, and that was quite refreshing.

Comparative Genomic Study Sheds New Light on Cat Evolution
New research led by Texas A&M University and the University of Missouri scientists explains how cats, including domestic cats, lions, tigers, Geoffroy’s cats and Asian leopard cats, evolved into different species and sheds light on how different genetic changes in cats relate to survival abilities like the ability to smell prey.

Thank you so much for being a member of our community!
How can we use the evidence to change people's minds when many people believe what they want to believe; not what the evidence infers?
Many people are relatively ignorant because they have been indoctrinated into wish-based beliefs.
So, we don't typically challenge their dogma because we know it's not "polite" (we know criticising their religion offends them)
However, l think that humans are the only animals on Earth that are capable of knowing they're animals.
