If you travel by metro in Mexico city you will notice how each station has a pictogram, but you may not see any relation between the sign and the name of the place. It requires specialized knowledge, sometimes of Nahuatl. Here the pictogram for Mixiuhca. What does it mean?

@DominikAHaas @univienna Congratulations. Ever since I stumble upon your twitter profile I have been waiting to read your finding on the Gāyatrī mantra.

@hildherlo No sé si sea solo culpa de los filósofos que la mayoría de la gente no entienda que es la filosofía, pero sí creo que hemos hecho algo mal comunicando en qué consiste la profesión y por qué es relevante.
