Hey 👋! *tap tap* Is this thing on 🎤?
I run a lab studying brain network dynamics that support learning and memory. I like computational models, deep learning, NLP, ed tech, open science, data science, visualization, and neuroimaging. And zombie movies.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreigaks7wgy4rvmszhobeed7hlaqap4mynkhqketipzolmesislssci@jpeg)

When a neuroscientist was stuck on a research problem, he enlisted the help of an A.I. chatbot. “The exchange wasn’t quite spitballing; it was something more organized—human and machine feeling their way through the fog together,” Dan Rockmore writes.
