The System known as Charlie Kirk @ptolemacian.bsky.social · 4hMaybe 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 120

The System known as Charlie Kirk @ptolemacian.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The 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.

The System known as Charlie Kirk @ptolemacian.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It'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?
