Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/) is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things.[1] The term (German: Apophänie from the Greek verb ἀποφαίνειν (apophaínein)) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia.[2] He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".[3][4] He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.[1][5] Apophenia has also come to describe a human propensity to unreasonably seek patterns in random information, such as can occur while gambling.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia cf Constellation, All Models Are Wrong, Intertwingularity (more)

Adam Bly (born 1981 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian scientist and entrepreneur. He is the creator of Seed and used to lead data at Spotify until he left in 2017.[1] Bly joined Spotify in 2015 when Spotify acquired his company, Seed Scientific.[2] He was a Visiting Senior Fellow in Science, Technology, and Society at Harvard Kennedy School.[3] In 2007, he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.[4] He is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal. He began his career at the age of 16 as the youngest researcher at the National Research Council of Canada, where he spent three years studying the biochemistry of cancer, specifically the role of cell adhesion in metastasis. Out of the lab, without completing a university education, he founded Seed – tag-lined "Science is Culture™" – and served as its Editor-in-Chief. "The best comparison for Seed," wrote a media critic at the time of the magazine's launch in 2001, "is the early years of Rolling Stone, when music was less a subject than a lens for viewing culture." Under his leadership, the magazine earned critical acclaim for modernizing scientific publishing and for bridging long-standing divides between science and society – from art and design to politics and religion. Together with Paola Antonelli he co-founded a monthly gathering of scientists, architects, and designers that laid the foundation for Design and the Elastic Mind, an exhibition about science and design at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Bly

Zvi Mowshowitz: Covid-19 9/02: Long Covid Analysis. The big Covid development this week was about Long Covid, as we got multiple analysis posts on the subject and some extra data as well. My conclusions on magnitude have not changed much, and I continue to believe that Long Covid is a thing worth some effort to avoid, but it is not as severe or common a thing as some reports would suggest, and that it is not a big enough issue that one should make big changes in life to avoid it, when you compare it to the effects of long-term Covid prevention.
