Comment l'IA peut-elle soutenir la transition écologique et sociale ? Dans cet épisode, enregistré lors de la 16ème édition du Forum Mondial 3 Zéros organisé par Convergences, Perrine Grua reçoit Augustin De La Brosse, doctorant au CNRS, qui nous partage son parcours où science, technologie et préservation de la nature se rejoignent.Diplômé d'un master en management puis d'un master en science des données, Augustin a emprunté la voie traditionnelle avant de bifurquer vers la recherche en sciences environnementales. Après plusieurs stages en entreprise, il a décidé de faire un pas de côté pour se recentrer sur ce qui le passionnait vraiment : la protection de la nature. Il explique comment il a navigué entre les attentes académiques et ses aspirations profondes, l'amenant à explorer la data science. Sa thèse au CNRS s'intéresse à l'utilisation des technologies de pointe, comme l'IA, pour étudier la dispersion des insectes aquatiques et les services écosystémiques qu'ils fournissent.Tout au long de l'épisode, Augustin aborde les défis de l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle dans un cadre environnemental. Il souligne l'impact de ces technologies tout en insistant sur leur potentiel pour analyser des écosystèmes complexes. Au-delà de ses recherches, Augustin milite pour intégrer les enjeux écologiques dans l'enseignement supérieur, partageant sa vision d'une éducation orientée vers la transition écologique pour préparer les générations futures.En fin d'épisode, il évoque ses aspirations : que ses recherches aient un impact réel, aussi bien dans le domaine scientifique que dans les décisions politiques et environnementales. Humblement, il admet ne pas chercher à "sauver le monde", mais espère contribuer à un avenir plus durable.Cet épisode invite à réfléchir sur l'engagement personnel. Augustin insiste sur l'importance de prendre le temps de trouver sa propre voie, de ne pas suivre des trajectoires toutes tracées, et d'avoir le courage de faire des pas de côté quand nécessaire. Il encourage chacun à s'interroger sur ses aspirations profondes afin de contribuer de manière authentique aux enjeux sociaux et environnementaux.Time codes : 1'45 : Introduction 8'50 : Retour sur le parcours académique de l'invité 15'30 : La découverte de la data science et l'envie de bifurquer 22'00 : L'importance de prendre le temps de réfléchir à son orientation 35'00 : L'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle pour la biodiversité 42'00 : Les limites et défis de l'IA 50'00 : Quel est ton Canary Call ?Liens de l'épisode : Le compte LinkedIn d'AugustinLe Forum 3Zéros du 17 septembre 2024 ConvergencesLe reportage de The Economics sur ChatGPT

Many researchers have spoken about windows or areas in the geography where the phenomena, in all its aspects, seems to exist abundantly. We call these places Convergences. Join us as we dive into the Convergence Files to explore The Superstition Mountains in the Eastern Phoenix AZ area. Ancient burial grounds, sacred rituals, mining accidents, murder, ghost sightings, UFO sightings, and an entrance to the Underworld (or maybe Hollow Earth). If ever there was a place that holds all the mysteries, The Superstition Mountains is it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecenigma/message

In Against Marginalization: Convergences in Black and Latinx Literatures (Ohio State University Press, 2022), Jose O. Fernandez examines thematic, aesthetic, historical, and cultural commonalities among post-1960s Black and Latinx writers, showing how such similarities have propelled their fight against social, cultural, and literary marginalization by engaging, adopting, and subverting elements from the larger American literary tradition. Drawing on the work of scholars in both literary traditions--including those who engage with the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s--Fernandez finds intriguing points of convergence. His cross-cultural and comparative analysis puts Black and Latinx authors and literary works into the same frame as he considers the plays of Amiri Baraka and Luis Valdez, the fiction of James Baldwin and Rudolfo Anaya, the essays of Ralph Ellison and Richard Rodriguez, novels by Alice Walker and Helena María Viramontes, and the short fiction of Edward P. Jones and Junot Díaz. Against Marginalization thus uncovers points of correspondence and convergence among Black and Latinx literary and cultural legacies, interrogating how both traditions have moved from a position of literary marginalization to a moment of visibility and critical recognition.  Anna E. Lindner is a doctoral candidate in the Communication Department at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. On Twitter. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jones and Junot Díaz. Against Marginalization thus uncovers points of correspondence and convergence among Black and Latinx literary and cultural legacies, interrogating how both traditions have moved from a position of literary marginalization to a moment of visibility and critical recognition.  Anna E. Lindner is a doctoral candidate in the Communication Department at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. On Twitter. Learn more about your ad choices.

In an effort to give you the latest about how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting RVers, we have up to date interviews with some key folks representing several different segments of the RV Industry. Show Notes for Episode #287 March 25, 2020 of The RV Podcast: WHAT MIKE AND JENNIFER ARE UP TO THIS WEEK JENNIFER Like almost all of you, we're hunkered down, avoiding in-person social contact with others and staying off the road as we follow the recommendations of our national leaders during this unprecedented coronavirus emergency   MIKE Jennifer and I are still at our condo along the Emerald Coast of the Florida panhandle. We're unsure of our future travel plans right now and taking it day by day.  JENNIFER We prefer to say we have postponed, not canceled out travel plans. This will end. I wish I knew when. But I am convinced we will all get through this. MIKE We've been doing a lot of live YouTube videos. Besides our regular Sunday night Ask Us Anything show at 7PM Eastern time, we've added a Friday Night 7PM "Virtual Campfire" YouTube live stream in which we can connect, interact, answer questions and talk about the places we want to go once this crisis ends. You can find links to these live broadcasts on our RV Lifestyle YouTube Channel.  CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE. Then click the little bell icon to be notified when we have new broadcasts or are going on with an update. JENNIFER RV-related shows around the country have all be cancelled. In addition, the Escapees RV Club has cancelled or postponed all events currently scheduled through June 17. This includes Convergences, Hangouts, and Head-out Program (HOP) events as well as our RVers Boot Camps. MIKE The FMCA, which just cancelled its March Tucson Convention, has now cancelled its big summer rally and exhibition scheduled for Aug. 26-29 at the Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln, Neb. The FMCA’s next national rally will now be March 10-13, 2021, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry JENNIFER And also this week, Pleasure-Way, Thor, Winnebago, Grand Design RV, Newmar Corp. and numerous other RV Manufacturers have temporarily suspended production and closed their manufacturing plants because of the COVID-19 virus. This part of the podcast is brought to you by the Nimble Pet Monitor 4G, the surest way we know of to have peace of mind that the temperature for your pets back in the RV is not too high. More information and a discount for listeners ot the RV Podcast is available at https://rvlifestyle.com/nimble RV LIFESTYLE NEWS OF THE WEEK Entrance to national parks may be temporarily free, but many locals are urging visitors not to come amid Covid-19 Most national parks throughout the country are generally open, as of this writing, and entrance is free, but visitor centers, lodges, shuttles and restaurants are closed, and many surrounding communities are urging people not to come. Some national parks, such as Yosemite or Rocky Mountain, are closed. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt last week temporarily waived entrance fees at national parks to make it easier for people to get outdoors and practice social distancing. But hospital staffs near the national parks are urging people to stay away, saying they can not handle more patients. And even some park officials say if someone is injured, they may not be able to get rescued because resources are focused on fighting coronavirus. While some state parks are closed, others are open urging people to get outdoors while practicing social distancing As far as state parks go, we are also hearing reports of more people than ever heading outdoors to state parks as daily life as we have known it comes to a temporary stop around the country. Some states are encouraging people to get outdoors - as long as they practice social distancing and stay away from things like playgrounds - while other states are completely closing their state parks.

Mardi prochain, c’est la fête des travailleurs. Alors que depuis 5 mois, les syndicats, à l’exception de l’Union Syndicale Solidaire, hésitent à marcher avec des Gilets Jaunes désabusés par les corps intermédiaires. Le 1er mai peut-il changer la donne ?  Début de réponse dans La Mensuelle sur Radio Parleur et sur les ondes de notre partenaire Radio Campus Paris.

La Marche du Siècle, c'était ce samedi 16 mars à Paris. Avec près de 350 000 manifestant.es présent.es dans les rues, quatre cortèges différents et une armée de pancartes aux slogans fleuris, le message de convergence est martelé : il s'agit d'un printemps écologique et social. On a discuté de l'ampleur de la mobilisation et de cette volonté de convergence entre climat et Gilets Jaunes avec Pauline Boyer, porte-parole d'Alternatiba et Florence, Gilet Jaune présente dans la marche.

ETES-VOUS UN ENTREPRENEUR COMPLET ? ETRE UN ENTREPRENEUR, C’EST QUOI EXACTEMENT ? DÉPASSONS SIMPLEMENT LE FAIT D’ENTREPRENDRE POUR NOUS PENCHER SUR LES 3 FACETTES CLÉS. Souvent, lorsqu’une entreprise se crée, qu’elle soit composée de plusieurs individus, ou qu’elle ne soit représentée par une seule personne, cette création sort d’un savoir-faire ou d’une compétence particulière que le créateur d’entreprise veut valoriser pour en retirer un profit pour lui-même. Dans son excellent ouvrage « The E-Myth Revisited », que j’ai lu plusieurs fois, Michaël GERBER représente l’entrepreneur comme la fusion de trois personnalités. LES TROIS PERSONNALITÉS Pour être un entrepreneur complet, vous devez éveiller trois personnalités en vous : Le Technicien : Celui qui fait le job. Sans lui, rien ne se fait. Sans lui, pas de savoir-faire et donc pas de business. Nous devons tous avoir une part importante en nous de technicien car sans cela, nous ne pouvons pas créer de la valeur. Pour faire simple, ...

3 STRATÉGIES EFFICACES AVEC LES COURRIELS CHAQUE JOUR, LES COURRIELS CONSTITUENT UNE SOURCE IMPRESSIONNANTE DE PERTE DE PRODUCTIVITE. Si vous avez un chronomètre sous la main, prenez-le à côté de vous et enclenchez le compteur à chaque fois que vous parcourez vos courriels, que ce soit sur Outlook, Gmail, sur votre ordinateur ou votre smartphone. Vous serez surpris, voire effarés du résultat. La lecture et le traitement des courriels peuvent aisément représenter plusieurs heures par jour, et avec un peu d’organisation (et beaucoup de volonté) il est possible assez facilement de réduire considérablement ce temps pour l’occuper à d’autres activités plus productives. UNE OU DEUX FOIS PAR JOUR La toute première chose à faire (et si vous n’en retenez qu’une seule, cela doit être celle-là) est de limiter le nombre de fois par jour où vous consultez vos courriels. Pour ma part, je vous recommande une ou deux séances par jour, suivant le nombre de courriels que vous recevez, et le nombre que vous êtes capable de traiter en une seule fois. Rien que cette seule stratégie peut changer complètement votre gestion du temps et changer votre quotidien. Cela demande toutefois un certain temps d’adaptation et un peu de mise en place : Désactivez toutes les notifications sur votre ordinateur de bureau et sur votre smartphone N’ouvrez pas votre logiciel de messagerie (à moins que vous ne deviez écrire un courriel évidemment, mais dans ce cas soyez forts et n’ouvrez pas votre boite de réception). Paramétrez votre logiciel de messagerie pour qu’elle ne s’ouvre pas au démarrage sur la boite de réception. C’est tout-à-fait facile à faire dans Outlook, et le faire s’ouvrir sur la boite d’envoi, qui est en principe toujours vide. Je vous recommande de vous planifier uniquement deux plages horaires d’une durée limitée, de préférence en fin de matinée et en fin d’après-midi. ... Ecoutez l'épisode pour entendre la suite...

The gang discusses a few papers that illustrate how different evolutionary processes can generate very similar morphological structures. Yes, we're talking about convergence again. But this time, things get kind of weird in the second half. Meanwhile, Amanda wrestles with the love of her cats, Curt understands his place in the group, and James invents a brand new way for birds to fly.   Up-Goer Five (Amanda Edition):   Today our friends talk about things that are not close but look a lot like each other. The first part is about animals that eat other things that are living. They say that sometimes it is the world around things that make them look like each other. Sometimes it is things like how much rain there is or how fast they grow up. So it is not always the fact that they all eat the same thing. But it might be. More things need to be done to see more about animals that eat other things. The second part is about things that fly and have no teeth, but also big angry animals with big teeth and no hair. They say that there is a part of where the leg ends that points behind that has parts that make the back part of the animal move, and that it is part of how the big angry animals with big teeth and no hair breathe. But they don't say how they figure this out very well. They confuse our friends. Then they say that this part of where the leg ends that points behind and the parts that make the back part of the animal move are important because they help the animals that can fly with no teeth fly the best of any big animal that can fly. They say it is important for the animals that can fly with no teeth to jump up when they fly. Our friends do not agree.   References: Tseng, Z. Jack, and John J. Flynn.

In the first podcast produced by the Princeton University Department of African American Studies, colleagues Eddie Glaude Jr., Imani Perry, Naomi Murakawa, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor discuss, among other topics, contemporary American politics and the disaster called this election. The discussion moves from examining the political policy points put forward by Clinton and Trump to the political vision put forward by the Movement for Black Lives. The group also addresses the demands of mainstream media, considers how scholars and activists may understand their interaction with media, and discusses how scholars and activists may serve as bridges to one another. This podcast was recorded, edited, and published by the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University.

He stares at the spider-patterns etched into the ceiling, tiny and dense, gray against darker gray. No power runs through them. Inert now. Unneeded.He wants to make the patterns work again.—how could anyone survive a descent through Calamity storms?  Above him, someone’s shiny dark shirt smells of static, a faraway storm passing. How are they still alive?Alive, forever, trapped inside this loneliness.—where is their ship then? The Machine detected nothing—Two people. A dark face leans over.Who are you? Can you understand me?Oh, yes. The language is familiar—like the warmth of meals shared between friends unknown, like the glinting of the tall glass domes, their shadows trembling in the heat of double suns. The memories dance and reflect off the polished blank steel of his mind, then scurry away.“I remember,” he says, curling his tongue to make the clicking sounds this language requires.Your name, they ask. He knows one: Kabede, but it is not his. He rolls his tongue around it, shakes his head—a no.They take him away on a gurney. His eyes latch again onto the inert designs on the ceiling, and hold, and hold. A room. The person from before is here. The serial number stitched upon their sleeve reads 050089. This person—Eighty-nine—fiddles with the displaywall.Who are you? they keep asking. What is your number? What is your Q? Are you a miner? Did you fall from some other Habitat?Some other habitat? The displaywall shows only one, this one, Neriu Habitat, the single rotating sphere encapsulated in light—but he knows of a hundred siblings, spheres of metal free-floating in Calamity season. Upon the displaywall the storms come together and break, toss the Habitat upon the face of the ocean. Under the wave the storms are snakes of green that spit and lash their tails; above the wave the storms are dense gray columns that funnel up and consume the sky.Nothing can land on Gebe-2.Who are you? What is your number? What is your Q? Do you know this interface?Does he know this interface? His fingers trace a glyph in the air. The storms on the screen disappear, are replaced by an engineer’s dissection of the sphere along the vertical, showing the habitat’s levels—residential, control, mining, the engines with their clever navigating and locking mechanisms. He makes another glyph, flips the display to perimeter—the habitat’s receiving cavities and the inverted protrusions that are there to join seamlessly with—he counts—five other habitats, which, in turn, will join with others during the brief period of Convergence.Someone enters the room, and Eighty-nine turns away from the display. There’s a sewn badge upon Eighty-nine’s tunic—a grebe, a diving bird. Security commune? He’s not familiar with the sigil.They used the interface. They must be ours.No. The new person is squat and powerful, with wiry hair and piercing eyes. Their skin is dark like Eighty-nine’s. No, they cannot be ours. Their memory has been erased. They had to pass through the atmosphere for that. And that offworld suit—His eyes seek the newcomer’s badge out. Cormorant, for Control commune.  No, they will not let him hook up to the Machine until they know more. He could be dangerous to the Machine.If they are ours, the Machine will recognize…Shut up, Eighty-nine. How will the Machine recognize an off-worlder?But so much of it is familiar. He must have been here before. Will the Machine return his name? But he doesn’t want to know it.He doesn’t know why, but he had wanted this. His name is an empty cavity after a rotten tooth has been drawn. Will the Machine put the pain back?He feels its humming all around him. The Machine maintains the grass-cloth patterns of the display-free walls. It spreads warmth through the brick-patterned floor. It is in the displaywall, and in the silent ceiling grid. It waits for him now, an embrace of empty light.The two argue about his Q now. The Machine must assign it. How will he work if they don’t know what commune he belongs to?“Engineering,” he mutters. “Just put me in Engineering.”They take him back to the room, nothing more than a detention cell, where he spent the last night. Eighty-nine settles him into the hammock. The person’s hand briefly squeezes his. On Gebe-2, being alone is a punishment beyond measure.“I won’t be lonely here,” he says to the closing door, not sure what moved him to say it. On a ship full of people he is a stranger, but the place makes him feel like three hundred years of companionable silences. Not a ship. A habitat. He tries to adjust to the hammock, his body too broad and too pale in the artificial half-light. The coarse brown strands in the hammock’s weave smell like basket reeds, but they too must be artificial.—Dream with me.He dreams of Gebe, a city paved with reinforced cinnabar and etched with mazes, a city of soaring spun glass and masonry coffeeshops—but now its beauty’s been smothered under the red skies marred with streaks of black fume. Dead engines hurtle from the sky like bugs sprayed with insecticide, and he barely dodges to avoid the smoldering, screeching debris. He runs, choking on the smell of burning meat and charra oil, resin and feces. He screams at the sharp cries of wild birds released from their protected wildspaces, the crashing glass spires that only a short while ago danced gracefully into a fearless sky.Kabede. He must find Kabede.The university. How they’d cursed the architect who slapped a utilitarian concrete rectangle in the middle of blown-glass dreams, but the engineering school is the only one left standing. It is whole on the inside as well, and softened by age-old Gebian crafts; thousands of people, students and faculty, crowd here on embroidered lotus carpets, argue loudly under chandeliers of blown glass shaped like ibises. They grab his hands, smile up his face and ask for news, but he doesn’t have time. He smiles back, pushes past them to the stairs. Downward. Each level is plainer than the one above —no hand-loomed carpets or chandeliers here, and even the ebony stairs give way to metallic railings painted in pale green. Kabede must be here. It’ll be all right.His friend is at the bottom level, pacing in front of a huge black surface covered densely with blueprints and reading-screen files. Their eyes lock—Kabede’s pupils dilate, and their gaunt dark face splits into a grin. They embrace fiercely, then push away from each other. Kabede speaks, their words disjointed in a way of dreams and scientists. I must take them away from this war, from all wars, I must hide them away in a world without riches, a world undesirable to conquerors, a world stripped of all decoration with only what’s necessary to survive, like the Engineering building survived…Help me, my friend. Help me.He frowns back at Kabede. “You’d strip them of beautiful things just because other people would strip them of beautiful things?” It is, after all, what they are. The people of Gebe are artists, scientists, poets, craftsmen, yes, artisans, makers—it is because of this beauty that they are now hunted.Kabede’s arms fly, accompanying the frantic flight of their speech. A commune where everyone is together and everyone is needed, without trinkets or petty obsessions, without possessions, nothing to distract from the threefold purpose of efficiency, survival, refuge—“You will unmake them.”But Kabede won’t listen. We’ll measure people’s aptitude, and each will be assigned to a commune according to their Q—“You cannot take anybody off-world, Kabede. It’s a fantasy.”Build me a ship, Kabede pleads. You’ve been working on something— but it isn’t anyone’s business what he’s been doing out on the asteroid belt for the last thirty years.“No. No. I’m sorry.”He offers Kabede a game of chess; they’ve always played before parting. But no, there is no time today, and Kabede’s hands curl into fists.This war must end. He hangs in the hammock, neck bent like a trussed bird’s, while shadows regard him across the threshold. The Control person, and a visitor, a frail and ancient darkness against the door’s bright light. More ancient than he is? Impossible.The Keeper of Neriu Habitat gestures the light on and enters, but darkness steps in with them—a face mashed and old like a dried plum, eyes bright but crackled with a minute spiderweb of red around pupils the color of congealed blood. They speak, they praise the Control person’s caution. He is an unknown entity, possibly dangerous, but they are stretched thin and cannot waste workers, not with the Convergence only a month away. If there is danger, I trust the Machine can take it. Plug them in. More people come to take him to a room as faceless as the others, painted a different shade of rough tan, with the same spider-maze ceiling and warm floors. He doesn’t even try to memorize the faces, sounds, smells of the people that surround him. They aren’t his friends. And like with people everywhere, he cannot afford to become attached. Like the savannah blooms they will wither and die, and even when these people’s speech reminds him of someone he misses with every breath, it’s not the same. He cannot become attached.They clip the headset to his head. His eyes roll back. He is in a brown cube without smells or sounds, a space defined by grid-like shining walls. The middle of the room flares up with a projection of three transparent pails. The first is filled with some substance, darker than water.A disembodied voice speaks. Two miners are friends, but one got sick. The healthy friend had mined eight liters of gillium. The healthy one has two empty vessels. One vessel holds five liters, and the other three. How can the miner equally divide the fuel, so that both friends meet their quota?That voice—it hovers on the edge of recognition. It speaks of friendship. Does this Machine have a friend, one it would share everything with, equally, if it could, if it knew where to look?Solve the puzzle.He has no voice here, no hands, no body, no eyes. He cannot touch the jars, but when he wills them to move, they do. He solves the problem in seven turns. It cannot be done in less.The room flickers, and the amount of pails increases by one. The large vessel holds twenty four liters of gillium. The empty ones can hold five, eleven, and thirteen liters…Good-naturedly he finds a solution, and the pail puzzle is replaced by an equation exercise, and after it, another. He remembers how to solve such problems by solving them, but there’s disappointment growing inside him. He opens his mouth to speak.“Do you know Kabede?”The room flickers, displaying now basic trigonometry problems. He solves one, two.“Where is Kabede?”The room blurs, reforms around holographic engineering designs—an airflow node first, then some complex console wiring, then a mining chute, all with nontrivial, tricky repairs. Lovely work. At last, his mind pulls reluctantly back.“I want to speak to Kabede.”The room is extinguished. He is expelled back into his long sweaty body sprawled on the floor.  They drag him up, slap a bird-badge upon his left shoulder. An ibis. He’s been assigned to Engineering commune.At night in the Engineering dormitory he tosses and turns in his hammock, stumbling into dreams. He dreams of Gebe, a city once paved with reinforced cinnabar and etched with mazes, a city of soaring spun glass and masonry coffeeshops—but now its beauty’s been erased, drowned in shrapnel, reformed and erased again under the perpetual red skies choked with toxic fumes. There is no sign of spun-glass spires. The museums have been leveled long ago, their contents evacuated, fought over—so many sacrifices to keep the treasures safe, but now they’re lost. Forgotten. He looks up, but the sky is empty of birds; no avian species are left on Gebe. No animals of any kind, not even insects. Only the humans survive.The university is a compound, the concrete rectangles of buildings crouch low to the ground. He remembers the poetry buildings, and history, art practice, music—but the arts and humanities had long ago been razed. Anthropology’s gone, too, once the most beautiful structure of all, with ornamental spires like cottontail reeds. The hot air smells of smoke and tar, fried canned meat and coffee. He doesn’t bother locating the cafeteria.Engineering is crowded, but the students are all silent, all crouching on the concrete floor, working on small electronic tablets. The carpets are gone, and the glass chandeliers had been replaced by military-grade lamps. Not a single student lifts their head as he passes through to the staircase.Kabede paces in the basement, room and person untouched by the two hundred years that elapsed since their last meeting. His friend’s always been here, framed between the concrete and the smoky air. Behind Kabede, on the table, a holographic image of a dome-like structure breaks into a hundred polished metal spheres that hurtle away from each other and join again. And have you built the ship for me, old friend?The ship, yes, a vast entity of metal mined from the asteroid belt by his bots. The ship—his ship—all complex designs and warmth, always incomplete, always growing. His home.“I haven’t promised you anything.”But this coming war will be the fifth, Kabede says, and the world has been drained of solutions. I need to take them off-world now, my friend, or this war may well be their last.“What are you trying to save?” Whatever’s been beautiful and sacred about Gebe has been destroyed by the wars, or by the Gebians themselves. “There’s nothing left here, Kabede. What value do your people have now, how are they better than millions of others dying on thousands of different worlds? Humans kill each other.” Or else they live small insignificant lives, and only the art they create will remain as they pass, only the art will matter long after they go.But of course, Kabede doesn’t believe in art. Art creates commodities desired by others. They come to trade for it first, then they come to steal, then they come to destroy it because we have too much, and then they come because they always came. It is a mistake to think that art survives death. You can’t survive your death, unless you choose not to die.“We may not die, my friend, but we are the children of loneliness.”I am not lonely, Kabede says. My people are with me. You do not see them, but I do. They are my family, my living, breathing people—and they are everything to me. As you are, old friend. And you are my friend. So help me.“Yes,” he says. “I’ll see what I can do.”Kabede nods, produces an ancient ebony-and-ivory chessboard. They sit down together at the table.Engineering brings his memories back, slowly. He’s always been good at making things work. As a child, he fixed the broken toy trains for the dimly-remembered children next door, he flushed toys down the toilet to see how much the drain would take before clogging, and then unclogged it again using a very long stick and an improvised drill. He fixed the grandfather clock silent since his grandfather’s youth. He cannot quite recall his grandparents, but he remembers how the cogs shone inside the clock, silent first, then shrill in hurried, disbelieving reawakening.He knows that even if all the memories return, the faces of his family won’t be among them.‘We may not die, my friend, but we are the children of loneliness...’How long ago? He remembers now how a scholarship took him away from his homeworld and brought him to Gebe, Kabede’s home—a world famous for its arts, a world illustrious with science. He’d learned so much there—engineering, of course, but also other things. The beauty of glass and groove and light. The Gebian language, with its seventeen emotions to experience art, that marked no genders in speech or custom.He remembers Kabede at the university, bent over some antique flimsy-display reader. Kabede couldn’t make it work again, being always far better at new designs. He remembers repairing the reader for Kabede, bits of century-old diplastic warped and soft like clipped-off fingernails. They learned about the Boundless from that flimsy—the most talented scientists chosen somehow to discard death forever, chosen perhaps by the older Boundless always secretly on the prowl, always searching.They found more information about the Boundless at the great library of Gebe, and a mention of a hidden meeting-place, a planet of wonders. But they have never met a single Boundless other than themselves, not to recognize. Death-lack seemed splendid at twenty, doubtful at best at four hundred or so.Four hundred years. Long enough to unlearn about love if one didn’t pay any attention to it in the first place.He shakes his head. People do not matter. Work matters. Work and art— those things that can be salvaged after the people leave you. Tangible things. Except, of course, Kabede. There’ll always be Kabede. Neriu Habitat is painfully small. The forty three engineers in his commune do not talk much, but sometimes they nod at him. Work matters—repairing the ailing Habitat, with never enough workers to direct. Always repairing, never expanding. Again he asks about Kabede. You must wait for the Convergence to see him, they say. Just do your work. He does—and it is soothing, like the air that circulates through the habitat, purified but always the same, never changing. They make nothing here that is beautiful. Only bland warmth. How is it better than pain? Eighty-nine comes to visit him in the dorms one evening, to play a game, like everyone does here. Eighty-nine teaches him games from Security commune, first simple and then increasingly elaborate clapping games that require coordination and quick thinking. He loses cheerfully to Eighty-nine, engrossed until his fellow dorm-mates intervene. Engineers don’t play such games, they say. “Chess?” he asks, but they don’t know the word, even though he speaks their language. They do not use any game-pieces, no frivolous objects shaped into arbitrary designs that serve no immediate purpose. Too much like art. Instead, they teach him games that require only the mind—language puzzles in which every letter is assigned a numeric value, and the value of whole words is calculated through complex equations. These he enjoys, but Eighty-nine doesn’t, and he does not want Eighty-nine to feel left out.“Let’s play something else,” he says.There’s an old game they play here that the people of Gebe played also. The questioner asks a quick question, any question, tricking the players into responding with the word yes; if they do, they lose.  Are you from here? Eighty-one asks him, an easy question. Then, is your Q higher than mine? Question after question, round after round in rapid succession to trick the players to respond with a short truthful yes in response to a trivial query. One after one, his Engineering fellows lose, and leave the game. Nine out of twelve remain. Seven out of twelve. Do you like it here? The yes is frozen on his lips. What’s not to like? The warm air, calculated to the perfect pleasantness he remembers from his university days, never changes here to a winter storm’s intensity or the sun’s summer scorching; fascinating detailed work; the Machine everywhere, comforting on the edge of his senses. Even the lack of adornment seems soothing now. What’s not to like? Only himself, his returning identity that’ll spit him out in the end, back into the vacuum of loneliness. He can unlearn it with these people. But they… The old Gebians—the people he came to love are burned, are buried, forgotten under the rubble of dreams. He cannot allow himself to become attached again.“I do not like myself,” he says.And us? Do you like us?“Yes,” he lies. Loses. His dreaming drains him further into memory. Ten thousand people on a ship that could hold thirty thousand more. The ship is huge—in the two hundred years since Kabede’s first question he’d perfected his miner bots and dismantled a few small moons. His modular designs for it are genius. Immodest, but true enough; after all, only geniuses become Boundless, only geniuses are punished for their competence with this unending pain.Forty thousand people could fit here easily, but the fifth war really is the last. Only ten thousand survivors, wounded and bleeding. Adults clutch emaciated children, elders crouch quietly, their toothless mouths open; those who still can walk around, frantically trying to be useful to someone, somehow, anything to escape the staring stillness. And Kabede—Kabede is not among them; his friend lies stretched out under the medi-dome, dying from a head wound that cannot possibly be repaired. A Boundless cannot die, but a Boundless can still be killed.It was a mistake to agree to Kabede’s request. They should have left the war behind, gone away together like he wanted. But instead he’d said yes. He’d found a world, a watery planet plagued by storms—increased by Kabede’s designs to such vehemence than nobody would bother to come here. The storms would hide Kabede’s world from curious eyes, prevent the colonists from leaving. Forever, peace—sheltering the people from all wars, taking them away even from themselves.He remembers wondering if the people would find a way to make art, but the walls of the engineering dorm are bare. The reeds of his hammock are woven into uneven patterns that dig into his skin and signify nothing.The ancient Keeper of Neriu Habitat comes to see him once more, in the Engineering dorm. The Convergence is coming, and Kabede, the keeper says, will see him in three days’ time.His eyes trace the spiderweb patterns of the ceiling. He designed them for his ship, just for beauty. Lit up, they were thin lines that rotated and danced, forming an imaginary starmap of the universe, with confirmed constellations warming up to an orange and the unconfirmed to a shimmery gray. Once he’d thought it Kabede’s mistake to believe that art doesn’t survive death, for if he were somehow to die, this ship of his, these minutely patterned ceilings would survive.He is alive yet, but his art, his ceilings are not in use here. Kabede would never approve of something so frivolous.Three days’ time.He remembers most of it now. Kabede gave him the memory leecher, to be installed in the upper atmosphere. If strangers came to Gebe-2 to wage their war, intent and knowledge would be drained of them before they fell into the storms.Once you have the habitats defined, transfer me, Kabede asked, back when they’d made their plans. I want to be embedded in my world. He begged against it, when Kabede was alive. “You won’t have a body anymore…” But his pleading didn’t matter. Kabede was dead now. There wasn’t enough left to exist when the hundred specified nodes were separate. Kabede would only be whole and aware when the habitats came together, briefly, once every three or four years, to synchronize their memories and share mined fuel. The rest of the time Kabede’s mind would be divided into a hundred pieces and scattered across the ocean, memoryless, friendless. A hundred habitats, Kabede had insisted—even if war were somehow to find this world, the people would be divided, easy to hide, safe.Such a waste. They should have left Gebe together to search for the hidden planet of the Boundless, on his ship. This ship.He remembers now how he broke it down. Unmade his home. Reforged it into a hundred Habitats for his only friend.Neriu Habitat screeches in joining others, like a flock of birds pressed together into a ball. Eighty-nine is there when they come to transfer him from Neriu to Deselin, but there is nothing to say.Deselin Habitat corresponds to the medical wing where Kabede had died. Most of what’s left of them survives here, and now, joined with other bits of their scattered cognition, Kabede is as whole as they will ever be. There is no need to don the headset—a hologram appears to him in the room recreated to be identical to the Gebe basement. It is Kabede as they were in death, tall and gaunt, their dark face glistening with projected sweat, but there is nothing to embrace. Only bits of colored light. “It’s good to see you.”I am glad you visit me, Kabede says.“How many times have I done this?”This is the third time. Every sixty years. Every twenty Convergences. Kabede’s image flickers. I’m sorry about your memory, old friend, but I have to protect my people. I will return it to you when you leave, and erase you again from the system. I wish…“Don’t say it, please.” But there is no need to speak. They know the dialogue by heart.I wish so much you’d stay.‘But nothing changes here, Kabede. Nothing evolves.’My people—‘—are ghosts.’They survive. It is peaceful, efficient—‘There is no hope.’Yes, he remembers now. They played this game before, went through the same moves over and over. And I will come again, and lose my memory, to see you. But no matter how we play this, it’s a stalemate, Kabede.There are no chairs for them to sit. They squat on the floor, with the holographic chessboard between them.END"Stalemate" was originally published in Lackington's issue 4, in 2014.This recording is a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license which means you can share it with anyone you’d like, but please don’t change or sell it.

Understanding convergences: When time, space and intention collide.Tune in to ASK SARA/Sanctuary with Sara Wiseman, a sacred place for Beautiful Souls community.You’ll learn about spiritual intuition with insightful teachings, meditations, sacred music, FREE readings and more. This week, we’re featuring David Newman.

The tree of life, reconstructed through phylogenetics contains fascinating stories about the history of life on earth. Everyone has heard of ratites, even if you don’t know it. They are the flightless birds of the southern continents, like Ostriches, Kiwis and Emus. For over a century it was thought they had a single ancestor that lost flight. That presents an interesting problem because, if their common ancestor could not fly, how did ratites end up with their current, very spread out distribution (Africa, South America and Australia)? Mike Braun shows how new morphological and genetic evidence is informing the surprising relationships of ratites and tells us the history of this diverse group of large, flightless birds.
