ハーバード大学の認知心理学者・言語学者スティーブン・ピンカー教授は学術論文について「学者同士が互いに楽しむためだけに書かれている」と指摘。

「頭のいい研究者が山ほどいるのに、なぜ納税者の金で研究しながら世界に伝えようとしないのか？ 同じ段落を5〜6回読まないと理解できない文章は誤解を生み、喜びも奪う。本当に腹が立つ」と学術論文の難解さ・冗長さを痛烈に批判。

研究成果は、誰もが理解できる明確な文章で公開されるべきだと主張。

“[Philosophy’s] goal is not to discover new truths about the world on the model of physics, let alone about possible worlds—the glories of metaphysics. […] Philosophy aims to disentangle conceptual confusions, to destroy metaphysical illusions.”

“To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.”

Every man who has ever told me he loves “smart women” has in fact never been okay with being outsmarted by one.

Being neurodivergent is when everyone is watching you get bullied by someone who is hitting way below the belt, crushing your soul for no reason, and no one steps in. But the minute you defend yourself with something you think is unremarkable yet kinda snarky, the whole crowd turns on you like “Whoa! Too far! I can’t believe you just said that! That’s so mean!”

“Besides, I’m not in the mood for all this today. I have no desire to demonstrate, surprise, amuse, or persuade. My goal is absolute rest. To know nothing, to teach nothing, to want nothing, to sense nothing, to sleep, and then to sleep more.”

— Charles Baudelaire

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

Plato is boring. In reality, my distrust of Plato is fundamental. I find him so very much astray from all the deepest instincts of the Hellenes, so steeped in moral prejudices, so pre-existently Christian...

Plato is a coward in the face of reality—consequently, he takes refuge in the ideal.

-- Nietzsche

“What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity.”
