International Philosophical Congress in Amsterdam, 11.–18. viii. 1948 by Arnošt Kolman ur current times call for the most responsible of decision-making. Never before in its thousand years of history has mankind stood at such a fateful crossroads as it stands today. For never before has Man had such a tremendous opportunity to subjugate the elements to his goals, and never before has there arisen the need to subordinate his society to the laws of reason. Since the moment when Prometheus first accidentally turned the visible movement of rubbing sticks or striking flints into fire—the motion of invisible molecules—up to the time when, with the help of modern industrial engineering and science, the invisible movement of these nuclear particles have now themselves been transformed into such an explosion—into the movement of huge bodies, the development of our race has never before experienced such a dizzying rise above the animal realm. At the same time, as a result of the continued division of labour, the development of mankind has resulted in an ever larger and ever more severe rupture of its own society. Precisely because of this, the way to a happy life for all of us without exception to a social status, which was dreamed of by the brightest heads and noblest hearts of all ages l= Kolman and Russell at the 1948 Congress of Philosophy 139 c:\users\arlene\documents\rj\type3602\red\rj 3602 134 red.docx 2017-01-09 4:03 PM and nations, is now leading us today onto the edge of an abyss, wherefrom arises the real danger of the destruction of all the achievements of culture, and the death for hundreds of millions of lives. How then to keep the world from slipping down this route instead of climbing to the heights of real humanity? And from not falling into complete barbarity and savagery? And how then to alert people today, who are indifferent to these real threats, or are intimidated by them, to take up united action against this horrific danger? There are those of us who seek in vain not knowing how to get rid of the genie summoned by man: some would like to drive it back into its bottle— banish any further advances in science and technology; others however do not object that the world—for its salvation—must submit to the violence of those who declare of themselves that they are the monopolistic owners of the most powerful destructive means; and the third group are just deceiving themselves , expecting that it will be...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
