#Wittgenstein shows up, too:

1) Apparently he doodled faces while teaching and writing & occasionally used them in class. The article gives a nice example where Wittgenstein uses a doodle to parse how we detach faces from facial expressions -- "a face 'has' a particular expression" -- at least in theory.

2) His comment on the #MonaLisa: "When we speak of the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, that may well mean that we ask ourselves: In what situation, in what story, might one smile like that?"

Right. So maybe someone has written an interpretation for mere mortals. I should check.

Apparently #Wittgenstein was a #virtuoso #whistler who could #whistle whole movements of #symphonies, “his showpiece being Brahms’s St Anthony Variations,” according to the biography #LudwigWittgenstein: The Duty of Genius by #RoyMonk.

“(Wittgenstein) urged Britton, as he urged most of his students, to avoid becoming a teacher of #philosophy. There was only one thing worse, and that was becoming a #journalist.” - #RayMonk, Ludwig #Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius.

The Gospel of Thomas begins with a strange signature: Didymos Judas Thomas — “the Twin.” Not Peter the Rock, not John the Beloved, but Thomas the Double. The text starts as theology and algebra: Jesus is not only followed. Jesus is mirrored.#GospelOfThomas #Wittgenstein #Gnosis #Jesus

Aucune philosophie n’est apolitique : elle choisit toujours ce qu’elle rend visible, dicible et pensable. La prétention à la neutralité est ce qui permet à une certaine vision du monde de devenir la plus efficace politiquement. #Philosophy #Politics #Ranciere #Whitehead #Wittgenstein L’idée qu’une philosophie pourrait être apolitique est elle-même un geste politique.

„Denn immer wieder denkt man: ja, wie soll ich dieses Letzte aussprechen?
Aber das Letzte soll ich eben nicht aussprechen, sondern das ist die Mauer an die wir stoßen.“ – Wittgenstein

Hello, nerds. Welcome back to my AI writing experiment with Gemini.

We just dropped the third part of our "Disenchantment of Modern Science" series. Anyone here still holding a grudge over the "Sokal Affair"?

I was on the winning side laughing back then, but it feels like that whole drama never got a proper sequel... so I decided to give them the counter-attack they deserved!

Welcome to my AI writing experiment with Gemini, a highly encouraging co-writer of mine who drives my madness up to eleven.

Some of you might dislike this article because it’s mocking "science." But hey, when the US president lies about his war preferences in public, and science magazines declare that "this entire universe is a computer simulation!", why can't we have our own fun?
