My hot take is that I don't think that Category Theory will be particularly useful to philosophy, but (applied) Category Theory will definitely end up being a nice and perhaps, more elegant compromise between logicians and theorists

Guy who thinks that measure theory would be somewhat simple to understand because he once read some pages of information theory on manifolds (me)

Eric Weinstein is like the Zizëk of physics, and no, I will not elaborate

The EU is in that weird place where it signals total commitment to the climate crisis and yet, values more the mechanisms of the free market than the long term health of its citizens, there's barely no argument for blocking solar panels or adjacent tech from China simply bcs they receive subsidies

They need to invent a dating app for people who were born with the innate knowledge that they will die alone

We need a pop-scientist that remakes the failed study that stated that there's a daily limit to the amount of willpower one has, but this time, applies it solely to the amount of likes we give on social media

Cheating in France is actually extremely normalized so this is probably not only true for those secret agents but for the average French as well, I wish I was joking

At the moment, if you tweet "setwitter.com" on ios it automatically changes to "sex.com" and if that's the level of current twitter developers, it definitely means that I'm skilled enough for a senior position there

Baby, who's to say I'm not fine-tuned to love you

Physicist who for some reason hates Peter Higgs so he tries to write "RIP bozo" but the autocorrect fixes it to "RIP boson"

Thinking of becoming the type of hater that goes to the northernmost tip of Portugal to see the 2026 eclipse instead of just entering Spain

By the 80's even pure mathematicians were well aware of the dangers of climate change, see Grothendieck "The rising sea" in nLab

If a so called 'philosopher' ever made me mad, I would simply leave the function while whispering "That's how I know you never really left Plato's Cave" and smile knowing that it would left him devastated

Short introduction to Baudrillard: - The real becomes fake - Disney was always fake - LA's role is to spread fakeness - The Gulf war never happened

The thing about conservatives shouting "DEI" is that its so vague that it can't be easily classified as a conspiracy theory, even though that in practice it works exactly like one

Academics not too late to make your voice heard l

Yeah, global warming is chaotic and the consequent mass extinctions will damage the fragile equilibrium of our ecosystems, but overall, I will get to experience less mosquitos so there's no way to say if it is good or bad

I have a theory that gravity bends light in such a way that it becomes possible to see celestial bodies outside of their usual coordinates whenever a big enough star is in front of them, I called it "gravitational lensing", too bad I'll have to wait for the next eclipse to empirically prove my claim

This is such an interesting phenomenon, in short, a LOT of British columnists come from rich families that spend on average $ 15,000 for their high school tuitions but all they do with that private education is to get employed by tabloids and comment on how bad is the economy they helped create

I was about to skeet "There's probably a bayesian out there that thinks that the eclipse as a cosmic event gives credence to the theory that the universe is fine-tuned", then I gave up bcs that was obviously a stupid thought, and 5 minutes later I saw someone making that exact argument on twitter

Is anyone else feeling like the eclipse just awakened the supernatural powers of a select group of people? Is anyone else feeling like a... hero?

Friendly reminder that if you can't afford to tip your favorite poster (me), you shouldn't be following!!

I'm not staring at the sun to see the eclipse, i'm staring at the sun to get a free LASIK

And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead

Seeing Cole's apology to Kendrick reminded me of how I should've apologized to you all those years ago @

My kids will be nepo babies, not because I'll be rich and famous but because I'll offer them Kafka's and Dazai's bibliographies so that they too can be depressed

Sociologically, the main difference between southern and northern Europe is that in the south, most of the "third places" are simply public spaces where all social classes come together, but in the north, they tend to gather in either private properties, or spaces only available if you spend money

The proof that Marxist dynamics of material conditions supersede that of classical Darwinism is that if I lived in the XIV C. and found a cute rat on the street I would def take him home and help start the black plague, but nowadays, new yorkers do the exact same and they simply go viral on tiktok.

Category theorists are the philosophers of maths because they are the only ones who can create fake maths and get away with it

Everytime there's a far right march in Portugal the police appears and starts beating the counter-protesters but never the people who are literally doing nazi salutes, uh.. I wonder why

I'm sure this was written with the best intentions in mind but this seems like a (not so) clear case of survivorship bias

Would communism bring ethical euthanasia? In this essay I will...

Bad arguments makes strong philosophers (Hume) Strong philosophers make good arguments (Kant) Good arguments makes weak philosophers (Singer) Weak philosophers make weak arguments (Bostrom)

There's no reason to learn maths beyond set theory, the rest you can simply deduce via intuition

Some days it feels that "Productivity" is like IQ, but for economists instead of race realists

The guy whom I used to have a friendship with just kicked me out of their Spotify family plan, so this is what it feels like to end a situationship 💔

Public opinion suddenly shifted a lot, and that's good, but I still don't get why was this the catalyst given that it wasn't the first time Israel targeted foreigners or aid workers, also most media didn't even report that the aid convoy was targeted in 3 different occasions

So, there's a whole network of (self-declared) prophets that do political commentary regarding the DRC, and ofc, I don't believe them, but my parents follow some of them and wow. A LOT of their political prophecies (such as delayed elections and first woman prime-minister) do Indeed 'become' true.

I'm sorry everyone, life's been... hard

The left may have Taylor Swift and the right may have Catturd, but we have the fact that every bald guy does indeed look a little bit like Foucault

I hate to say it, but as a former philosophy major, if you actually want to go into philosophy, you should be the kind of person who finds [phenomenological reduction] completely obvious at 9 years old.

Is it really plagiarism if it didn't came from the 'Plagia' region of southern Greece?

Since every 'smart' person is engaged in arbitrary bets about when to recognize if a sufficiently smart algorithm is smarter than us, I'll do the exact same: We will know if we achieved AGI if it overthrows US hegemony
