(for context, John is someone in various significant grant allocation and mentorship roles within the scene. also good to see that his recent post history has less research, more dating discourse. incidentally, at one point i admired his work 🙃)

as one of the sort who's always asking - thanks for the post (lattice model ftw), and good luck with your recovery 💜

This is not a complete sketch, but it’s what I could get out in a brief window between fevers while my injury heals, and it will hopefully correct some confusions and be productive for the sort who are always asking. See you in another decade?

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.
