Tuomas Väisänen 📼🧟‍♂️<a href="https://vis.social/tags/StudentMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudentMobility</a> is a distinct form of mobility, where highly skilled individuals go to study in another country to enhance their <a href="https://vis.social/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academic</a> skills, <a href="https://vis.social/tags/networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networks</a>, and cultural understanding.

Steve McCarty 🇯🇵The Association of Online Educators in Eastern Europe might have taken some inspiration from the World Association for Online Education that I founded in 1998. Now they have invited me to present a keynote address at their annual conference in Sarajevo. The topic is "AI Challenges for University Educators," and it is relevant to all teachers and learners. I have not mentioned AI before, but I have been using it (not for writing!), and I need to understand such technologies for the EU-Asia grant project for intergovernmental digital partnerships.The presentation slideshow is available by scrolling down the page at <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22632.58882" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22632.58882</a>If you are interested in the field of online education, be sure to study "Online Education as a Discipline at <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353073973" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353073973</a><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OnlineEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnlineEducation</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teaching</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learning</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/acquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acquisition</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#expertise</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/edutooters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@edutooters</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"In the early 20th century, the Spanish writer José Ortega y Gasset warned that such resentment would eventually become the enemy of talent and ability. “The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different,” he wrote in 1930, “everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select. Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated.” Trump and Musk not only feel this same impulse; they have harnessed it for their personal use.Eventually, such attacks run out of steam when the costs begin to accumulate. No matter how many times Stalin told his scientists to plant wheat in the snow so that it could evolve to grow in the winter, the wheat (which had no political allegiances) died. Today, vaccine refusal might seem like a brave stand against white-jacketed overlords—until your children are stricken with measles or whooping cough.Modern societies, as Americans are soon to learn, cannot function without experts in every field, especially the many thousands who work in public service. The first step in containing the damage is to see Trump’s and Musk’s goals for DOGE clearly: It is a project rooted in resentful arrogance, and its true objective is not better government, but destruction."<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/career-civil-servant-end/681712/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/career-civil-servant-end/681712/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Populism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Populism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Expertise</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a>

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@strypey</a> False.Though I might have phrased that with greater clarity.First, "appeal to authority" is one of several informal fallacies, that is, it doesn't automatically invalidate a statement, but it does suggest a weakness.Second, appeal to authority refers to power or position independent of epistemic characteristics. In its classic form it often referred to reliance on religious or political statements, or perhaps on overreliance of ancient sources (e.g., Aristotle, classically, in mediaeval and Renaissance Europe). There are heavy overtones of Papal infallability to it.Expertise is direct experience or knowledge of a subject, or general knowledge of a field. It is a measure of credibility for knowledge of which we cannot ourselves claim first-hand familiarity. Or, often, for which a first impression gives a false or misleading sense as compared to a deeper understanding.It is expertise and not authority we are relying on when we cite a reference work (dictionary, encyclopedia, desk reference, statistics, textbook, article), or when we call on expert witnesses in legal or other hearings. There's some confounding of this in common parlance as an expert is often referred to as an authority, but in most cases that authority derives from specific experience, reputation, and credibility rather than some conferred political or social power.Expertise and credibility are not absolutes, and neither <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@vik" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vik</a> nor I are claiming this. I've specifically indicated these are fallible. You've specifically misrepresented our statements as claiming otherwise. Which, I might add, makes you an unreliable source.However as an initial prior for judging information it is a USEFUL guide. And in matters epistemic, utility has an extraordinary significance. We CANNOT be called upon to judge and assess each and every claim individually (regards the claim) and personally (regards persons). Instead we rely on standards, institutions, and practices of trust and presumed belief. We change our views as evidence changes, or as authorities previously viewed as credible come to be generally assessed as unreliable.In the context of the present discussion, Sabine Hossenfelder is providing a summary news piece in which she's discussing items of interest to a general science community. Specific expertise in physics and mathematics is a valid basis for general understanding, and we can further presume that Hossenfelder has a team assisting in that process (she alludes to this in multiple ways).What we're relying on her for then is:<ul><li>To filter through candidate stories to find those of greatest relevance and significance.</li><li>To accurately summarize and present findings.</li><li>Where she does so, to accurately express opinions on the overall findings or nature of the items.</li></ul>Which is to say: this is not scholarly or academic research itself, but a review of that research. Details of methodology and findings are going to be in the referenced documents.And the general expertise and credibility are specifically what is relevant for a scientific communicator / news presenter, in such a case.I noted above that the overhead of researching and rebutting every last claim is nonfeasible --- it's effectively a denial-of-serivce attack on our brains individually and on public knowledge generally. So is rebutting lazy, inaccurate, and if I may use the term, bullshit arguments or objections.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law</a>Mostly, though, it leads to extraordinarily tedious side tangents rather than a substantive discussion of the main topic at hand.
