Philosophy and Category Theory | he/him | All socials: @CharlesDKA
My hot take is that I don't think that Category Theory will be particularly useful to philosophy, but (applied) Category Theory will definitely end up being a nice and perhaps, more elegant compromise between logicians and theorists

Guy who thinks that measure theory would be somewhat simple to understand because he once read some pages of information theory on manifolds (me)

Eric Weinstein is like the Zizëk of physics, and no, I will not elaborate

The EU is in that weird place where it signals total commitment to the climate crisis and yet, values more the mechanisms of the free market than the long term health of its citizens, there's barely no argument for blocking solar panels or adjacent tech from China simply bcs they receive subsidies

They need to invent a dating app for people who were born with the innate knowledge that they will die alone

We need a pop-scientist that remakes the failed study that stated that there's a daily limit to the amount of willpower one has, but this time, applies it solely to the amount of likes we give on social media

Cheating in France is actually extremely normalized so this is probably not only true for those secret agents but for the average French as well, I wish I was joking
"Honeytraps do not work on French spies because their wives are used to them having affairs, a television documentary about France's equivalent of MI6 has revealed..."
Russian honeytraps useless against French spies … their wives already know
Behind-the-scenes documentary shines a light on France’s equivalent of MI6

At the moment, if you tweet "setwitter.com" on ios it automatically changes to "sex.com" and if that's the level of current twitter developers, it definitely means that I'm skilled enough for a senior position there
this week Elon Musk’s X began changing users’ tweets in the X app for iOS without their permission

if a user posted “Twitter .com” then it would automatically appear as “X .com”

even worse, other URLs are getting caught in this and being changed too

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs
A scammer's dream and a disaster waiting to happen.

Physicist who for some reason hates Peter Higgs so he tries to write "RIP bozo" but the autocorrect fixes it to "RIP boson"
Sad news: Professor Peter Higgs died on Monday 8 April. He passed away peacefully at home following a short illness. 🧪🔭⚛️

He was a true gentleman and utter gem in the world of Physics.

Thinking of becoming the type of hater that goes to the northernmost tip of Portugal to see the 2026 eclipse instead of just entering Spain

By the 80's even pure mathematicians were well aware of the dangers of climate change, see Grothendieck "The rising sea" in nLab

If a so called 'philosopher' ever made me mad, I would simply leave the function while whispering "That's how I know you never really left Plato's Cave" and smile knowing that it would left him devastated

Short introduction to Baudrillard:
- The real becomes fake
- Disney was always fake
- LA's role is to spread fakeness
- The Gulf war never happened

The thing about conservatives shouting "DEI" is that its so vague that it can't be easily classified as a conspiracy theory, even though that in practice it works exactly like one

Yeah, global warming is chaotic and the consequent mass extinctions will damage the fragile equilibrium of our ecosystems, but overall, I will get to experience less mosquitos so there's no way to say if it is good or bad

I have a theory that gravity bends light in such a way that it becomes possible to see celestial bodies outside of their usual coordinates whenever a big enough star is in front of them, I called it "gravitational lensing", too bad I'll have to wait for the next eclipse to empirically prove my claim

This is such an interesting phenomenon, in short, a LOT of British columnists come from rich families that spend on average $ 15,000 for their high school tuitions but all they do with that private education is to get employed by tabloids and comment on how bad is the economy they helped create

I was about to skeet "There's probably a bayesian out there that thinks that the eclipse as a cosmic event gives credence to the theory that the universe is fine-tuned", then I gave up bcs that was obviously a stupid thought, and 5 minutes later I saw someone making that exact argument on twitter

Is anyone else feeling like the eclipse just awakened the supernatural powers of a select group of people? Is anyone else feeling like a... hero?

Friendly reminder that if you can't afford to tip your favorite poster (me), you shouldn't be following!!

I'm not staring at the sun to see the eclipse, i'm staring at the sun to get a free LASIK
