Slow down, listen to yourself, try to have fun, lol

Any more than 1 seems too much. Sometimes a whole one is too much
- Comment on do what you love 4 days ago:
Well opinions on this differ, but I think it’s a process, not a body of knowledge. You learn to apply the process…
- Comment on do what you love 4 days ago:
Well yeah, because you didn’t study it at school and so it doesn’t come as naturally as it might

Ok ok fine I’ll bite. Studying philosophy is a matter of refining your approach to problems, not memorising what some gnarled old Greek dude thought 2000 years ago
Also literally everyone has a unique philosophy.

Only if it’s useful

This is very good trolling and I took a second

Well yeah I suspect that’s part of the reason it’s slipped out of the curriculum. Shit teachers co-opted it for religion

I strongly suspect peak Aristotle would fucking wreck me but when he’s old and rotten? Yeah I reckon I have a chance
- Comment on Let's hear it, little lemmings. 1 week ago:
Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you
- Comment on do what you love 1 week ago:
I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense
- Comment on do what you love 1 week ago:
Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this

Babel fish, you say?

I don’t speak medieval Italian so sadly he’s off my list

Simply define it as i = e^(iπ/2) 🤣

But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

Badly written fan-fic sequel to Snow Crash
- Comment on Pretty but pointless 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah this is one of the biggest things that AI fucks up – reality. Nobody would put a painting above a stove IRL. That’s the most obvious flag to me. It’s like a spot-the-difference

From this we can infer that fucking is a complex function 🤔
- Comment on Hope you like math 4 weeks ago:
What in the fucking fuck implies that fucking is an injective function over the field of fucks.

Absolutely not. Lifeguards literally save so many lives. Maybe it’s different in the US with its weird power structures and motives, but lifeguards are more like the fire brigade than the police here…
- Comment on The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement 4 weeks ago:
Yeah a grass lawn with no flowering lawn plants is dull and borderline sterile anyway. At least it’s not being replaced with AstroTurf

Formatting is wild there my dawg. Fermat’s sufficiently recognisable tho’ that I know what it meant to say
The proof is actually pretty simple but the character limit on my instance is too small to contain it

Oh wow that article’s a blast from the past

This is a very very good video. I loved the review of Atlas Shrugged

That’s a good book! Fascinating that the author was hoping to write about the rise and fall of Tether, but it never quite fell, so he ended up with the climax being SBF’s downfall
