Philosophers I have drawn. A thread 🧵

@focusfronting celery and rhubarb are excellent sources of vegetarian bones and marrows

@PhilosopherJoeC Like rain on your wedding day.

RT @mechachandler: You could do what I did and write about a necrophiliac security guard and an obstetrician who eats babies but that’s onl…

RT @waldenpod: Very much enjoying listening to @petemandik talk about Type-Q materialism!

@waldenpod i’m glad to hear that!

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 i know that’s your claim. i reject your claim. i have heard such claims many times before, but never accompanied by a decent argument

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 yeah sure ok . i think you’re confusing understanding with seeing, and also have some bizarre ideas about seeing

@Disagreeable_I @dioscuri he does address it you maybe were skimming

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 both answers to does it have a beginning make perfect sense, and the negative answer makes the most perfect sense. I can visualize 5dimensional manifolds just fine. once you can visualize 4D via hinton’s methods among others the rest is cake

@Disagreeable_I @dioscuri of course! excellent point

@dioscuri @Disagreeable_I whose motteing now? it’s not about some thin buddhist dukkha. its about horrors like dying of starvation or stomach cancer. anyhoo, I’m not convinced by the argument, but i do think it’s worth representing the argument correctly

@Disagreeable_I @dioscuri absolutely is not counting only the negative. instead pointing out that the quantity of the negative vastly exceeds the positive

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 if it were how would i even know? nonetheless, it seems fairly obvious that lots of the universe is understood by lots of the people

@Disagreeable_I @dioscuri you don’t remember the first few years and your last few years haven’t happened yet, but will more likely than not be terrible

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 i wish you such a pleasant end

@Disagreeable_I @dioscuri you are conveniently overlooking the part about how most humans suffer most of the time

@marc__adler @Arth_1981 some fields do more than talk

@ilinxing @Arth_1981 Ligotti is the GOAT.

@Arth_1981 Cool! That’s a good paper.
