    The campus as well as many other institutions and businesses in Canberra have just about spent more days closed than open this year due to extreme weather. Why isn't being considered the most pressing economic issue of our time by our Government?

    I spoke to a British guy who’s planning to move to Italy. He voted Leave. It has taken him a while but he’s eventually realised that without Freedom of Movement he’s a little stuck now. And that’s how his Tuscan Dream ended. Never a facepalm will ever be big enough. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Dieri people at our workshop today have a good warning about the dangers of only getting half the story: Burke and Wills only talked to the men about what was safe to eat. But the men didn't know the methods for processing the food to make it safe, because that's women's work.

    5/n: ... So it all looks not exactly finite state, but neither is it recursive infinity, really, and the chronicles are 'streams' (co-recursion?). Ordinary conversations also lack an intrinsic ending, and can be hard to end when there is no agenda.

    4/n: ... they have acquired. Narrative fictions and lies are a different story, since their length would not be bounded by what the teller actually knows, but there would be the problem of keeping the story straight, and avoiding inane repetitions. ...

    1/n ...of facts to put into it at any point in time. Early examples from our culture would be the 'who I am and how I got here and what happened along the way' stories in the Odyssey (the true ones, not the strategic and tactical lies), and the 'what's been been happening ...

    1/n: I'm wondering if there has been any work on what might be called 'the mathematical linguistics of narrative', starting from the observation that a good faith, intendedly true narrative can be of unbounded length, although an actual teller will have a limited amount ...

    I just had such an affirming experience. On my 8hr intl flight back from a conference, I sat next to a father/son. In broken English, the father began to apologize/warn me that his ~10 yr-old son had severe nonverbal autism, and that this would like be a difficult journey. 1/

    Just noticed that ERT news from Greece seems to have a sign-stream now, seems to have started May 28 on the basis of my Australian SBS news recordings. Don't know the relevant sign at all, and my Greek doesn't pick up all the news content, but it might be a useful resource.

    When I lived in Iceland, I found a lump. I had no idea how to navigate finding a doctor, so I went to our show's production manager. Me: I found a lump. Can you help me find a doctor? PM: Just go to the cancer center. Me: Okay. How do a get a referral? PM: What's a referral?

    Wow - striking study with over 1200 participants showing that women had worse spatial performance on a task in a patrilineal society but not a neighboring matrilineal society in India. I did not even know there was a current-day matrilineal society!

    People often talk about what advice they'd like to give to their younger self. Here's the advice I think my younger self needs to remind me of: Don't spend more time thinking about which method to use than the time it takes to test them all out.
