How to fix Twitter, by @Noahpinion https://t.co/ox5VMSz96H

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Why is “don’t” redacted here?

If it starts with Don, they just automatically redact it?

@nntaleb @DrCirillo You don't like the book by Hamming? Art of Probability? (not exactly a credentialed philosopher himself, though.)

Isn't "autism" just a fancy word for "Linux user"?

I also think that religion could protect against Hyperreal Addiction, as I write here https://t.co/o6pdxxmbcc

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

Increasingly obvious that religion is an anti-virus for the human mind. Once you uninstall it, a bunch of mind viruses start spreading like crazy, mutating and becoming more extreme with time.

@QiaochuYuan Upon which, I am forced to direct you to my own tweet, on this matter:

Science fiction does not predict the future; it creates it.

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@TenreiroDaniel It's a sentence with two things I love in it; but it still makes no sense

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@dumbreepicheep @evanewashington Wait - I want to know more about Wittgenstein's take on body-horror

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@maggie_by @evanewashington Science + language-game-therapy is, after all, all you need to answer the big questions, right?

Such as, the question of whether it made sense for Wittgenstein to receive a Catholic burial...?

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington @MagdaKersting some truths ought to remain hidden; and here is the demonstratory proof of that.

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington @olivertraldi I think that my role in this philosophical tv show would simply be that of the Jerry. As is generally the case, for me.

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington @olivertraldi "but Riiiiick.... you already know the meaning of meaning.... you already used it in a sentence, just then, Rick."

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington @olivertraldi "We gotta go to Bendigo, Morty! We gotta go to Bendigo to find the Meaning of Meaning!!!???! Or I'll fuckin' kill ya Morty! So get the fuck in ay!!"

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington Oh no obviously Karl Popper is the Morty here, of course.

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington I see the Rick; but where is the Morty? (Russell? Turing? Every other philosopher?)

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@olivertraldi @evanewashington Late Wittgenstein is more like a guy that's come down OFF the drugs, though. In Philuntersuchungen he is dragging along with him, not so much any particular positivist philosopher as much as a Simplicio-an caricature of all their views....

... oh wait, yeah; I see what you mean.

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington Wasn't he more like Summer to Carnap's Rick?

[Rishi Sanyal @_Srijit]

@evanewashington Also I would rather reserve the Rick role for somebody like Kant, or Hegel
