Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

OK, so no one cares, but lately I've been feeling really jazzed about *social convention*! My paper "Convention for One" will be published in Thought, and argues we have conventions with ourselves that are very much like standard group conventions cailinoconnor.com/wp-content/u...

For anyone who wants to know why I want to burn down Oxford style analytic philosophy and then salt the Earth where it stood, this is the thread for you. It covers: vagueness, time/space, coalgebraic modal logic, thermodynamics, Leibniz’s God, David Lewis, quantum mechanics, and God *as* dice.

Man, I remember those days. Scoring some Lyapunov exponents off a dodgy geezer in a pub; gathering at midnight on a disused airfield, five thousand strong, to bifurcate and bifurcate until the feigenbaums kicked in... It sounds so sordid now, but we were young and it was beautiful.

You know if you do something to make someone happy, it also makes you happier? That means happiness is not conserved by local interactions Which raises the question: which symmetry is broken by the Lagrangian to make this non-conservation possible?
