I’m taking an indefinite break from social media for health reasons. Keep your peace, everyone. 🖤 Leaving two quotes here that I adore: “Philosophy, as the thought of the world, does not appear until reality has completed its formative process, and made itself ready. History thus corroborates the teaching of the conception that only in the maturity of reality does the ideal appear as counterpart to the real, apprehends the real world in its substance, and shapes it into an intellectual kingdom. When philosophy paints its grey in grey, one form of life has become old, and by means of grey it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known. The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering.” -GWF Hegel, Philosophy of Right “But one must not think ill of the paradox, for the paradox is the passion of thought, and the thinker without the paradox is like the lover without passion: a mediocre fellow. But the ultimate potentiation of every passion is always to will its own downfall, and so it is also the ultimate passion of the understanding to will the collision, although in one way or another the collision must become its downfall. This, then, is the ultimate paradox of thought: to want to discover something that thought itself cannot think.” -Søren Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments

TIL this nerd was the one who famously said, “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” He wrote this short story about a mad AI who most did not interpret as the rage of the forced impotentiality of the workers and the builders and of the poor.

woah, scientific progress achieved through public institutional collaboration? kind of sounds like the antithesis of private for-profit motivated ventures, but what do I know~~
