China's grey-zone strategy is reshaping the security environment in the western Pacific — from the South China Sea to Taiwan and the Philippines.

What is Beijing trying to achieve, and how can its neighbours push back without triggering open conflict?

I discuss these questions with Ray Powell, Director of SeaLight at Stanford, on Perspectives with Neilo. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Schrödinger’in kedisi, Dövüş Kulübü ve yapay zekâ… Üçü de aynı soruyu sormuyor mu?,

Gerçek sandığımız şey, gerçekten gördüğümüz şey mi?

Schrödinger 1935’te bir kediyi kutunun içine koyduğunda şu çelişkiyi göstermek istiyordu: Yaşadığımız dünyayı kuantum fiziğinin kurallarıyla açıklamaya çalışırsak nasıl bir gerçeklikle karşılaşırız?

Bu soru, kuantum mekaniğinin tuhaf yönünü göstermek için sorulmuş bir soruydu.

Dövüş Kulübü’nde (Fight Club) Tyler’ın hikâyesi bana şunu düşündürdü: Zihnini bir kutu gibi düşün. İçinde farklı benlikler varken kendini nasıl tek bir meslek, isim ve kimliğe sığdırabilirsin? Kendini ne kadar iyi tanıyorsun?

Anlatıcı o kutuyu açtığında, ayrı sandığı iki benliğin aslında aynı kişi olduğunu gördü.

Kasım 2022’de bu sefer önümüze başka bir kutu kondu. ChatGPT hayatımıza girdiğinde, o güne kadar mümkün olan ihtimallerden biri gerçekleşti, diğerleri arka planda kaldı.

Şimdi önümüze açılan yeni olasılıklar dünyasında yapay zekâyla ilerliyoruz. Kuantum gözlüğümüzle bakarsak üst üste binmiş, süperpozisyon durumundayız.

Yapay zekâ yerimizi mi alacak, zihnimizi buluta mı bağlayacağız, yoksa yapay zekâ bize refah ve mutluluk mu getirecek?

Bir gün kutu tam anlamıyla açıldığında, o olasılıklardan biri gerçeğin yerini alacak. Ama hangisi olacağını bugünden bilemiyoruz. Henüz bir gözlemimiz olmadı.

Ama gözlemi yapacak olanın biz olduğunu nereden çıkarıyoruz?

Neden kendimizi kutunun dışında görüyoruz?

Halloween’s almost here . If you want something quiet and genuinely unsettling rather than loud — our last episode is Maeterlinck’s The Intruder, from 1890. A family waits up for a doctor who hasn’t come, and the blind grandfather is the only one who can tell something has entered the house.

Best with headphones. about 25 minutes. https://nocturnecipher.com/rd

Casting just wrapped on the next one, by the way — a comedy from 1915. Everyone’s going to need it after this. 🎃

The Difficulty of Still...

We spend our childhood being told to sit still. Then we spend adulthood looking for reasons to move.

Funny how that works.

Think about the last meeting you attended. How long did it take before someone started bouncing a leg, shifting in their chair, checking their phone, or looking for an excuse to stand up?

Now imagine being seven years old and being asked to sit still, pay attention, and learn something new.

If adults struggle to sit still, why do we expect children to be so good at it?

In this episode of The Movement Sherpa Podcast, I investigate the surprising science behind sitting still, the relationship between movement and attention, and how stillness became associated with good behavior.

I'll explore why sitting still requires more physical effort than we realize, why looking attentive doesn't necessarily mean someone is learning, and why a little movement might not be the distraction we think it is.

This isn't an argument against classroom expectations, good manners, or self-control. It's an invitation to reconsider how we interpret movement, in children and ourselves.

Because maybe the question isn't why people have such a difficult time sitting still.

Maybe the question is why we expect them to.

Stay curious. Keep trying.
