This ad appeared on my feed and now I agree with Plato and Descartes. This certainly doesn’t look like a good foundation for knowledge.

Wow I hadn’t noticed Plato and Augustine have Jesus right between them in time. It all makes sense now. www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse...

We now have three different visualization methods (Sentences Timeline, People Timeline, People Graph), a new filtering system (branches, periods, connections, tags, names, search terms), branch color-coding for sentences, and many other novelties. Enjoy: www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse/

Plato’s proto-feminism is complicated (I think he’s using a statistical approach) but this gendered language correction in The Republic sounds very modern.

A bull that’s born and raised in a black & white room full of black & white books containing all of our knowledge on color vision will attack the red cloth when released, ergo physicalism is true.

I feel extra happy when I add a philosopher I like: a first version of Graham Priest is here, with a unique feature in this project: a positive-negative self-connection (because “dialetheism is itself a dialetheia”). Logic is fun! www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse...

Yesterday I gave an online seminar at Bilgi University Industrial Design Dept for the Current Issues and Practices class, with the invitation of dear Özlem Er who taught me a lot when I was in İTÜ. I had a great time, thanks to all who attended.

NEW PROJECT! I wasn’t happy with existing weather visualizations and apps so I made mine. Weathersquare is a minimalist, intuitive & contextual weather visualization platform designed to provide hi-res data of past & future conditions at a glance. weathersquare.net #weather #visualization #dataviz

Nothing Else Matters is an inconsistent song. The 1st paragraph ends with “and nothing else matters” but the 2nd paragraph continues to list new things that matter. The same mistake is repeated with the 2nd-3rd paragraphs. Sloppy work.

I’ve always enjoyed Datawrapper’s Data Vis Dispatch. Great to see my latest project Weathersquare featured this week. The screenshot they shared reveals a big temperature and precipitation difference between 2000 and 2026 for Tromsø: weathersquare.net?view=compare...

Weathersquare strives for simple, friendly, at-a-glance visualization, but it still respects data resolution with continuous scales and representations. I hope it will be as useful to you as it is to me. weathersquare.net weathersquare.net/app App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/weath...

Existing weather graphics were either too simplistic or too complex for my needs. So I created this visualization system with two main criteria in mind: (1) I want to see only what I want to know, and (2) I want to see it in temporal/locational context so that I have references.

Deniz Cem Önduygu @dencemond.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

I’ve always been interested in how daily weather forecasts are shown on TV, websites, apps, thinking “We have so much high-res data, why do we still hang on to these static cloud/rain/wind icons? And why use 7 different graphs for something as basic and visual as daily weather?”

Seeing the feeds for the last few days I can’t help but think, people used to behave morally and refrain from making jokes about a person right after they die... Good thing Chuck Norris got bored one day and annihilated all moral values and facts.

Just realized I haven’t shared this figure I designed for @tastanoznur.bsky.social in 2023, visualizing the data structures and volumes used in their personalized drug synergy prediction. Also added in my Commissioned Information Design page: www.denizcemonduygu.com/portfolio/co...

Why does wind have precedence over other conditions on the Weather app? I don’t care about the wind, I just wanna know whether it’s gonna be sunny or not.

2025 was one of the worst years of my life for the most part, but moving to Bodrum and starting sertraline turned it on its head (see Mood). Feeling great now, and grateful for the support of my family, friends, & partner. Vital Signs 2014–2025 update: www.denizcemonduygu.com/portfolio/vi...

One belated announcement before 2025 ends: In May I added Donna Haraway and updated Sandra Harding (1935–2025). Hope to write a more extensive post in Q1'26 for the other additions. Haraway link: www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse...

As a long-time enjoyer, I’m delighted to work with Dr Kuhn & his team. I’m in awe of his vision, his diligence, his kindness & energizing attitude, and his ability to reciprocate my long emails with even longer ones. One of the best collaboration experiences I’ve had.

Another scatter plot comparing the rankings of theories of consciousness in Google search hits vs Google Scholar search hits, as a rough indicator of discrepancies between public and scholarly/scientific interest.

Deniz Cem Önduygu @dencemond.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

A similar connected scatter plot that focuses on theories in the Materialism category, showing their subcategory, order of magnitude, degree brain matters, scholarly/scientific interest, complexity, and connections among them.

Deniz Cem Önduygu @dencemond.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

In this connected scatter version, x-axis positions represent order of magnitude (e.g., quantum level, cellular level, neuronal level, neural networks, whole brain, whole body, extended mind, universe); y-axis positions represent level on a materialism-idealism scale.

Deniz Cem Önduygu @dencemond.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

A force-directed graph with alignment connections. Colors represent the categories to which the consciousness theories belong. Sizes of the shapes represent scholarly interest, the number of Google Scholar hits. Number of edges of a shape represents the theory’s complexity.

After my proposal in Dec’24, we came up with theory features like order of magnitude, materialism-idealism scale, complexity etc. Eser Aygün and Amaç Herdağdelen used Gemini to get theory scores & similarity degrees. I designed and implemented the visualizations using @kumu.io. ↓

Partner thought her mint candies were covered with mold. Under microscope (100–400×) they looked like crystals to me and after some googling I concluded these were menthol crystals grown thanks to humidity and heat. She still didn’t want to eat them. doi.org/10.1039/D4CE...
