im obsessed with the early modern period because you go to any scientist's biography and it's like "then he wrote a 400 page treatise about how the world-soul is sentient but not conscious and thereby it cannot go to hell"

Leibniz in absolute disarray right now
Oh no. I’ve just seen someone with a book bag that says:
“Money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy books. Which is the same.”
And I’m going to be thinking about the logic of this for the rest of the day.

One time, when my dad was a child.. there was this huge pile of carrots, and someone told him "You can eat them". Some time later, they found him in tears, forcing himself to eat the entire pile. He thought "can" implied "ought to". I think about that a lot. Don't choke on the big pile, everyone.
