The only thing that would really solve the current issues is all mathematicians going on strike, but its partially our fault for being so disorganized that this could never happen

Maybe Im being histrionic right now, but the field seems posed to die an unceremonious death at the hands of resentful techbros doing "revenge of the nerds" on their math professors. No one will be left who understands anything

Ive stayed away from last time I installed stuff ~5ish years ago but nowdays it seems stable and not particularly difficult to use. The snapshots seem like a nice feature. Im currently using arch but next time Ill probably use openSUSE tumbleweed which makes it easy iirc

The end goal of any "cancellation" : whether big or small, whether in a huge google doc or on cable news, whether true or false : has the explicit end goal of getting the person to kill themselves. If you pile on, ask the question "am I okay causing this person's suicide?"

Race science was popular in the 30s: and was defeated only by WW2. It re-emerged in the 60s: only to be defeated by the march of civil rights. Now race science is popular again as reparations and prison abolition float over us: its defeat will not peaceful.

They need to start incorporating algae oil into more things tbh. Nutritional yeast is so easy but its still hard to get good omega 3's without supplementation

Its crazy how much of the harm I faced in childhood was downstream of having dyspraxia and being taken out of SPED too early for it with no one really being able to help

I think also as I know more the general quality of what I read on wikipedia I think "well that misses a lot" or "well thats 80% right" or "well this doesn't understand x y and z"

Complete and total lesswrong-ification of philosophy. We need to destroy these departments and ban these people from writing anything again

I want to do math, the techbros took that away. I want to make music, the techbros took that away. I want to write, the techbros took that away. What do I even have left to produce for others? Even camradarie and friendship and love they chip away at until all of humanity is hollow.

Its crazy to me how analytic philosophy has seemed to produce a massive pro-eugenics literature. It's honestly kind of vile. I think a world without Deaf people would be bad and worse for everyone actually!

I dont call them tescreal, and I certainly don't call them 'rationalists' (that would be a grave insult to spinoza). I prefer calling them the 'harry potter fanfic people' because that's what they actually are

It's less about 'rigor' or 'citational practice' or anything I mean, it's just, like, do you care about working out the consequences of your results or just saying something that sounds impressive you know? (I think doing both is morally fine for the record!)

The System known as Charlie Kirk @ptolemacian.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
It's not really hate tbh, and it's fine imo if you have your own thoughts, but if you do you don't have to justify them with constant reference to x y and z thinkers, because if you do justify from that angle then you have to accept parts of their arguments and consequences as well imo

See it's the thing, I have no problem with deleuze at stuff but no one who uses him seems to actually take it seriously that deleuze had, you know, arguments?

The System known as Charlie Kirk @ptolemacian.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Those people made arguments, which have assumptions and consequences, you can't simply ignore them and pretend that thought is a series of free-floating empty signifiers void of any actual content except for 'vibes'!

So many people seem to have no intellectual rigor at all its frustrating. They think you can mix and match anything together without any grounding. They think you can just take a bit of althusser, sprinkle in some foucault and gramsci, mix with nietzche and sylvia winter! It's all 100% slop!!!

My first time reading hegel questions and ideas in my own thought completely resolved to make perfect sense: I was a born a hegelian in this sense. On the other hand my turn into marxism was only really brought about by constant experience of the world: I had to become a marxist.

It more or less exists to rob the trans woman the ability to correct the authority figure: "it's she actually" - instead putting the onus back onto the trans woman of making us gender her correctly

The only reason americans hate day drinking is because of cars. Day drinking is objectively better than night drinking, it takes the edge off, makes you more confident, doesnt interfere with medication, and results in no hangovers. Also perfect with food or coffee!

Basically half of jobs have stopped appealing to me because I really dont want to do anything that would require me to use AI. That's going to now include mathematics, finance, software and even IT. I'm actually not sure what to do now with a mathematics phd.

Apparently in 2026 they force you to use a compositor now if you want your system to function with freezing. It's basically fascism
