Nah. Discreteness & nested hierarchies are old.
#Philosophy is essentially an anarchic enterprise.
A philosopher is like an undercover agent who plays the game of @callingbullshit.bsky.social in order to undercut the authority of #bullshit.
The #NewOrder 💾 is #Confusion 🤷♀️ 🌈
Lieber Jan, Du hast ja recht, aber nicht die "cucky" Unterwürfigkeit die der weimerliche Ulf dem Medien-Alphamännchen in Machtposition signalisiert ist das Problem, sondern dass beide offen misogyn, queerphobisch, und xenophobisch sind. Im Bett dürfen beide machen miteinander machen was sie wollen.

Congrats to Christian Bentz & Ewa Dutkiewicz, who just published their research on 40,000 year old human signs systems in @pnas.org
We thank Christian for giving an early glimpse & discussing the work with us 3 months ago @cudanlab.bsky.social

As usual, one needs to be aware of the bro-perspective of the narrative, which is misleading, as modern alpine skiing has been so addictive that skiers gave up on limiting gendered dress code right after World War 1.
cf. bsky.app/profile/schi...
Most pioneers like Fuzzy Garhamer got into the flow by "fooling around and finding out", decidedly without discipline: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinric...
While this looks like pure fun, it's also rooted in the existential experimentalism of anti-Nazi alpine warfare:

Genuine answer: Freestyle skiing has a deep connection to gymnastics, ballet, trampoline, and physics. Yet the main lure is probably the transcendental experience of flow.
cf. Candide Thovex, who almost died, gave up on jump competitions, & became one with the hill: www.youtube.com/watch?v=75uL...
Tiago (in case you can still read this), I wish you had more humour. Can't promise it is a Ballentine's, but I'm happy to buy you a beer at @netsciconf.bsky.social
PS: Not all ridiculograms are ridiculous. :)
4/4
The preprint accounts for this, based on Tiago's thread: A graph can record the #substance in pairs of nodes, while purely triadic nature is a matter of #function. YES
AND my snarky serving suggestion makes sense as one has to consider pure higher-order functions, while evaluating the paper.
3/4
In fact, Tiago blocked me for good, as I can't even see my like of his original thread anymore.
Tiago was probably annoyed that I mentioned Borromean Rings as a serving suggestion, which are higher-order interactions that cannot be decomposed into pairwise interactions. BUT ... 2/4
If you wonder what this was about: Tiago Peixoto just blocked my repost of the #netsci preprint "Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions" (arxiv.org/pdf/2602.16937) by #tiago.skewed.de, @piratepeel.bsky.social, @manlius.bsky.social, and @thilogross.bsky.social ... 1/4
Best served with Ballentine's Ale Beer:

"One of a Kind" is now an anthem of the resistance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_fh...
Be yourself "one of a kind" and tell fascism to go fuck itself.

Here is Alysa Liu's gold performance for European viewers:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtL2...
If you dance, skate, or ski, the last 75 seconds, after the jumps, are truly "One of a Kind", one of the most amazing things you will see in your life, ending in the pose of She-ra, princess of power. 🌈
2/3
Alysa Liu does the free skate of the century!
Meanwhile, #TeamUSA geoblocks the youtube video in foreign countries, which is like burning disco records in the stadium, in real time. 💰🎃💩
Soft power is now in individuals like Alysa Liu. 🇺🇸⛸️🏳️🌈

cf. Mary Anne Case: Trans Formations in the Vatican’s War on 'Gender Ideology'. Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society 2019, vol. 44, no. 3
chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcont...
Mary Anne Case (SIGNS 2019) has shown that the current wave of misogyny & transphobia is partially rooted in Ratzinger loosing his marbles over gender as social construct in Schwarzer 1983. Now Schwarzer turns out just as transphobic, making a case for Musk's AfD Nazi aunt as German chancellor. #WTF
... and the ski is European (broadly defined) 🇨🇭

How I can make this ep on Homeland Security mandatory for every American studies student or maybe just everyone - someone let me teach an intro lecture on post war US history or sth cause I am done with people not understanding that 1. US is fascist now 2. how we got here
