DARTMOUTH WILL SUSPEND PHD MATH ADMISSIONS INDEFINITELY. IS THIS WHERE WE'RE HEADED? AND IS IT A PROBLEM?

If you've been following the news lately, you know that AI has many of us up in a tizzy, especially mathematicians. Articles by mathematicians around the world are asking whether their profession is still relevant in a world where AI can solve problems in minutes that their greatest minds haven't been able to figure out despite having spent collectively perhaps millions of hours of efforts. AI has supposedly solved at least one of the Millennial Problems, although it doesn't appear to want the Million Dollar Prize attached. What is AI doing that humans haven't been able to do?

The developments at Dartmouth and in Math are symptomatic of problems facing society and the world at large. Will machines replace humans? Will a Super Human emerge from all of this? What does all of this mean (or should we just accept Brian Greene's view that there is no meaning or purpose to the universe, which of course informs his chummy relationship with J. Epstein)?

Join the conversation tonight.

Created in 1939 by the UK Ministry of Information as part of a three-poster series (alongside "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory" and "Freedom is in Peril; Defend it with all Your Might").

The poster was designed to be used in case of a German invasion and was never deployed. The phrase became notable in the 2000's.

It has never been more appropriate given the continuing turmoil in the world, with celestial objects (real and perceived) moving in nested cycles never before seen in recorded history. You only see one Pluto in Aquarius in your lifetime, one Neptune at 0° Ares.

As usual, Friday Night Light will help you find stillness and peace of mind in a world seemingly gone mad.

These days it appears that rare events on earth and in the heavens are almost commonplace. Massive earthquakes, floods, heat waves, fires, lighting strikes, and solar flares are rocking our world as never before. Electromagnetic charges in the atmosphere are playing a pronounced role, with many feeling unbalanced, anxious, and tired.

Although current topsy turvy events may be a surpise to some, seasoned astrologers have been anticipating this rocky period for years if not decades.

Find out why some say that the best of humanity is yet to come. No matter how bleak it may look, there are plenty of reasons for optimism.

July 3, 1971

Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, dies in Paris. He is buried at Le Pere Lachaise. At one time, his gravesite was said to be the 5th most visited tourist attraction in Paris.

Tonight we will dig farther into the iceberg that is the music of The Doors.

Find out why one of the world's leading conductors said that The Doors "will go on to become the Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky of their time."

Tonight's meeting will put the past few months of celestial activity into perspective, bringing us up to date on where we are today and where we appear to be heading. As we have repeatedly mentioned, July is looking to be a very big month, full of fireworks. By comparison, the June outlook is relatively quiet. The respite over the next few weeks will give us an opportunity to get more grounded as we prepare for the roller coaster ahead.
