Fuck yeah. After struggling for hours I googled it and someone named Alan Munn solved my exact problem on StackExchange 7 years and 3 months ago.
Copied, pasted, worked on the first try.
Alan, you are the GOAT.

This post is not doin’ numbers.
I meant to say that nonmonotonic logics are based, actually.

I’m not good at social media, but lately my strategy for the other website has been to post important work by big names, e.g., Frege and Lewis, or call my preferred positions in semantics and epistemology “based”. The numbers have skyrocketed.

I personally think that renowned philosopher Patrick Suppes *would* likely dominate in the 40k universe. However, calling him “godlike” is a bit overblown.
Sure, all of this is wrong, but the most wrong to me is Supes, as 40k is one of the few universes where he very likely wouldn’t dominate. We know canonically how things go for godlike humans in 40k, and the average is not great! @lastpositivist.bsky.social come suffer in solidarity.
This might be the most wrong anyone has ever been on the internet. John Constantine would not thrive in Warhammer 40,000. His entire gimmick is not thriving. Aquaman would not be bottom tier and arguably be top tier. Peacemaker would get killed immediately.
