[05:45] Worden kinderen steeds dommer in het tijdperk van smartphones?

Ik dacht altijd dat elke generatie slimmer is dan de vorige. Maar de cijfers liegen niet: de concentratie en cognitieve vaardigheden van kinderen hollen achteruit. TikTok wint en Darwin verliest.
Ik heb altijd geloofd in vooruitgang. Dat, dankzij verbeteringen in onderwijs en gezondheid, elke generatie slimmer dan de vorige is. Voor het eerst in mijn leven durf ik die aanname nu in twijfel te trekken.

“…our conversation can be read as an attempt to rescue Darwin’s insights from a cramped materialistic framing and to champion Jonas’ ethical and phenomenological call to acknowledge the interior dimension of life—while clarifying how Jonas sometimes conflates Darwin’s ideas with the mechanical worldview he rightly criticizes.”
—Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life”: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism

“He [Hans Jonas] sought a new cosmological narrative that locates intrinsic value and interiority in nature, and that calls human beings to become morally responsible for Life… Darwin, ironically, can aid this quest if we appreciate his rich references to the agency of organisms, their mutual influences, and his resolute rejection of fixed essences.”

“…read superficially, Darwin’s ideas can indeed tip into a vision of “mindless, purposeless algorithmic” selection—a view popularized by several late-twentieth-century biologists and philosophers (eg, Dennett, Dawkins). … Yet Darwin’s own texts, especially when read in the context of thinkers like Whitehead or Peirce, open onto the possibility that teleology is not an external imposition but a creative principle intrinsic to living organisms…”

“Darwin wrote extensively on animal behaviors, local adaptations, and reciprocal relationships that speak to co-creation, not a fixed environment imposing design by negation. Modern complexity theorists have taken these insights further, highlighting how variation and selection act alongside emergent order, morphological constraints, and even convergent evolutionary trends.”

“…many biologists, craving the prestige of physics (“physics envy”), indeed tried to reduce living phenomena to clockwork processes or gene-based instructions. However, Darwin himself took a less reductionistic approach. Darwin was not imposing a precise blueprint upon nature but describing how purposive behaviors, preferences, and local constraints yield emergent patterns of speciation.”

“Tim…suggested that, if one generalizes Darwin’s principle in line with thinkers like Charles Sanders Peirce or Alfred North Whitehead, natural selection can be extended beyond biology to show how constraint and self-organization interact with selection-like processes even in physics and chemistry. Understood in this broader way, variation and selection become part of a generative schema of immanent form-production, not just a set of blind mechanics that weed out unfit mutations.”

✍️ Bien des gens pensent que Charles Darwin, le père de la théorie de l’évolution, n’a vu que la compétition entre individus. ...
Pourtant, son analyse de l’évolution humaine est bien plus nuancée... 😉

I still haven’t wrapped my head around #nixpkgs. I have my packages defined in .nixpkgs/darwin-configuration.nix:

environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.yt-dlp
# …

The installed version of yt-dlp is 2025.02.19, but 2025.03.21 is already released. I tried updating:

$ nix-channel --update
$ darwin-rebuild switch

But I’m still on the old version, even though I’m using nixpkgs-unstable. Only when I run `nix-shell -p yt-dlp`, I will get an env with the latest version. Why?
