Instead of cool machines us nerdy theoreticians get practically impossible but theoretically interesting completely insane thought experiments and theoretical constructs to amuse ourselves.

The realisation was actually thanks to a CompSci course in logic which they let me take and count as philosophy. (Thank you, insipiring weird eccentric teacher🙏)

I only wish there had been time to take a few courses of math as well at my journey through uni after the realisation. x>

done by high school math and coincidentally realise that math is actually very interesting! The path was philosophy -> theory of knowledge & philosophy of science -> formal logic -> realising there’s an entire field about systematic study of relations and logic models and it’s called mathematics!

I think you could even go as far as saying math and philosophy are in essence the same activity, just directing attention on slightly different topics (although I know this would probably upset many mathematicians and philosophers).

It took me years of studying philosophy at uni to undo the damage

Sounds like the physics was a bit depressed or unsure of itself and needed a hug and some reassurance

I’ve said it many times before, but I wish high school math had been better at showing how math is actually interesting and not just “Learn this so you can become an engineer and be useful. Don’t ask, don’t reflect, just be a good boy and calculate.”

Both can also in a way be seen as meta-sciences or tools for other disciplines. Math is used to make sense of and compute physics and other natural sciences, and you could at the same time argue that philosophical analysis of concepts and mening is the basic, primordial method of any science.

Math and philosophy definitely have a lot in common! Both are completely un-empirical and study the meanings and relations of concepts, only math most often uses formal symbols and philo most often uses natural language. Computing rather than measuring is a really good way of describing it!

(plus the glitches when something goes wrong would probably have me laughing until it hurts)

This actually sounds like an extremely interesting project even if I know basically nothing about programming or physics! The logical constructivist philosopher in me would love the ground-up approach and crafting the definitions and logic of how extremely basic principles work!! 🤓

That would be a good idea, yeah! And also, I wouldn’t mind less dominating flavours than chili to make cooking with it more versatile, but I’m definitely happy with the steps taken so far

(Yes, not just my bird character is obsessed with fish, I am too)

Some years ago I very actively fished these kinds of fish, because they’re not wanted by sport fishers or professional/industrial food industries, but still make excellent and environmentally sustainable food.

I’m genuinely stoked to see it become a more systematically utilised resource!
