@chiweethedog You went to grad school?

@RadishHarmers The first half of this tweet reminded me of this bit from David Mitchell's memoir lol

@roryisconfused I agree with so much of what you said in this thread. Could you point me towards some specific references (books/essays) that explore this sort of attitude in more depth? I see you refer to Freud and Adam Phillips a lot, but idk where to start

I feel like people are so obsessed with just-so ideas about neurochemistry (easy tricks to boost your dopamine!) because, somehow now more than ever, we’re afraid of the unconscious, of what’s irrational in us, and want instead to just believe we’re mendable rational machines

@SweatieAngle What happened to your friend? Is she still doing the same kind of work?

@RadishHarmers They're supposed to make information easier to parse, but the way they're used to avoid having to write a coherent paragraph shines through so clearly lol, they end up making everything more irritating to read

@RadishHarmers Peep Show too (the best sitcom)

[S @JustBolognese]

@RadishHarmers Thank you! This is the sort of spur I wanted, it already gives me a lot to mull over and explore these connections myself :)

@RadishHarmers @matthewgoldin @websitehomepage @cringe_genius @chamberofreason Did you talk about ultrafinitism, by any chance? I would love to hear you discuss your perspective so much. If you didn't, perhaps you might discuss it the next time you go on a comedy podcast

[S @JustBolognese]

@RadishHarmers It's honestly insanely impressive that you managed to finish your PhD years later while having a job and everything. Did you have a eureka moment where you rushed to the nearest window with a chalk?

@RadishHarmers It's hard to accuse him of ignorance or craven cynicism when he's always been quite vocal about where he stands

[S @JustBolognese]

@RadishHarmers Yeah, I see what you're saying. Thanks for the typically eloquent response! Your comment that Wittgenstein understood the meta-significance of the theorems better than Gödel himself is very interesting. I need to study more logic fr

[S @JustBolognese]

@RadishHarmers @infinitymod7 Definitely didn't mean to imply you don't count as a mathematician! I apologise if I came off like that. I took you to mean you were currently an academic, which surprised me. I'm actually a big fan of your math-writing online, and think of you as a mathematician myself

[S @JustBolognese]

@RadishHarmers @infinitymod7 Didn't you leave academia? Or do you have a job in industry as a mathematician?
