Chaotic Harmony: A Dialog About Physics, Complexity and Life

This fascinating book written by Ali Sanayei and Otto E. Rössler is not a classic scientific publication, but a vivid dialogue on science, philosophy and the interdisciplinary intersections of science and technology with biographic elements.

Some more War Dogs join the hunting pack.

This time a pair of War Dog Executioners. The Chaos Rhino kit is a treasure trove of little conversion bits to make an Imperial kit suitably spiky.

The War Dog Pack Grows!
#HobbyStreak today is building a few #ChaosKnight War Dogs. Using bitz from the #Chaos rhino kit and kitbashing between Armigers and War Dogs I've been able to make a regular Armigers chassis look much more thematically appropriate for a fallen Knight House. More updates as they come; waiting on the bases to dry so I can pose the legs.

Fate's Cruel Reversal marches towards battle

#HobbyStreak - My #Tzeentch Knight Despoiler progress continues. The farther along this project gets the more and more I enjoy it. I originally thought the head was a bit too much but it adds that perfect bit of over-the-top nature #Chaos leans into. I have some wings I might add as well, but first: finish the leg armor.

THE “NEED FOR CHAOS” AND MOTIVATIONS TO SHARE HOSTILE POLITICAL RUMORS (Michael Bang Petersen, Mathias Osmundsen and Kevin Arceneaux, 2023)

"Why are some people motivated to circulate hostile political information? While prior studies have focused on partisan motivations, we demonstrate that some individuals circulate hostile rumors because they wish to unleash chaos to “burn down” the entire political order in the hope they gain status in the process. To understand this psychology, we theorize and measure a novel psychological state, the Need for Chaos, emerging in an interplay of social marginalization and status-oriented personalities."

A clear victory for the free fediverse: Meta now says integrating with ActivityPub is "a long way out" (privacy.thenexus.today)

When Meta launched their new Twitter competitor Threads on July 5, they said that it would be compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon, and all the other decentralized social networks in the fediverse "soon"....
