The thrill of using a word in conversation when you’re only 60% sure what it means

When I'm half asleep, I'll start to have complex thoughts and ideas that just sort of pop into my mind fully formed. They usually turn out to be incoherent when I reflect on them with a clearer head, but it always amazes me how my mind seems to form them out of nowhere.

"Baudelaire introduziu a fisiologia na poesia; Nietzsche, na filosofia. Com
eles, as perturbações dos órgãos se elevaram a canto e a conceito. Proscritos da saúde, cabia a eles assegurar uma carreira à doença." - Emil Cioran

Em dashes should be used at any time, in any context, for any reason.

I have mixed feelings about Wittgenstein as a person, but I’ve always admired his decision to quit philosophy after publishing the Tractatus. How many academics would have the honesty to stop publishing if they thought there was nothing useful to do in their discipline?
