Just learned how to use straddle. It may be useful for describing a scientist caught between tradition and their potentially revolutionary ideas.

I've been reading about 300 pages of Michel Henry's Généalogie de la Psychanalyse. I noticed Henry tends to repeat his arguments.

So I asked ChatGPT. Here is the answer.

To improve my academic writing, I had ChatGPT create a paragraph and rewrote it for conciseness.

How would you rewrite this↓
I will show my revision in the comment.

I just received a book by Althusser!

I realized I had forgotten to look into épistémologues have to say about Freud. This is surprising, given how much my own thinking has been influenced by epistemology.

Once I finish reading Henry's book, I can’t wait to dive into this one!

I’ve started using the Leitner system to learn vocabulary for reading philosophical texts in English, French, and German.

The picture on the left is from a week ago, and the one on the right is from today.

This system makes it easier and more fun to stay consistent.

Experimenting with the Leitner system to boost my French and German vocabulary! Curious and excited to see how well it works. Have you tried it?
