Vance looks like a well-disguised Agent Mulder in an Apprentice-style X-Files reboot, who just sneaked into a Syndicate meeting, can't believe his luck, and is now breaking the fourth wall.
The movie they make about Tulsi Gabbard's infiltration of US intelligence is going to simultaneously be a haunting look at the most damaging intelligence failure in US history and a hilarious romp about the stupidest fucking people alive
omg bill gates slipped his wife antibiotics after he got an std from a russian hooker also is his foundation offering a fellowship
A book cover with text "Karoline von Günderrode: Philosophical Writings, Edited and translated by Anna Ezekiel, Oxford New Histories of Philosophy." Cover includes a black and white portrait of a young woman (Günderrode) from the waist up, looking to the right, and a strange homunculus shown faintly in the background.
Available now as part of the Oxford New Histories of Philosophy Series, my translations of & introductions to philosophical work by German Romantic writer Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806): "Karoline von Günderrode: Philosophical Writings"

Perfect response from Peterson here.
Objecting to Plato's teachings with citations of system rules is so fucking unimaginative. At least Plato's contemporaries had the temerity to object to his teachings with farts and featherless chickens.
Clark's Piranesi, hands down best book I read this year.
The audiobook version is also excellent!

Here's the talk I gave in Vienna last month as part of the Wittgenstein Week, held in the very splendid Palais Schönborn.

My latest publication - in the new issue of Sarum Chronicle - is something of a departure!
"Es tun mir viele Sachen weh, die den anderen nur leid tun."*
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
* Aus dem Gedächtnis, vielleicht lautet das auch etwas anders.
Handschriftlicher Text: 'Schusseligkeit ist der rote Faden, der sich durch mein Leben zieht.' Darunter ein blauer, wellenförmiger Strich mit dem Zusatz '(Habe leider meinen roten Stift verloren.)'

I mean, who does the tour guide think they're talking to, amirite?
This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.
It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.
The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.
When you use an Oxford comma, you're doing your part to make the world beautiful, meaningful, and understandable.
I don't know. My general rule is: if it's Vienna, it's art. Sure, I'm biased. 😃

I know it sounds mad but if you had regular exposure to trees and sunlight and started reading again for pleasure, it would heal you.
Sloan is a surprisingly good writer. There's a Googler, a bookstore clerk, likeable weirdos, a secret society, good old-fashioned sleuthing, and more. A really fun read.
It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts
Completely off topic, with apologies, but I just finished the audio book of Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. And it strikes me as the sort of book you might enjoy. Have you read it?
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
If fact-transmission is what the humanities have become, that's a huge humanities failure. I was educated at liberal arts colleges in the humanities. And fact-transmission was 1 of aspect of my education. Another was learning to think critically: logic, exegesis, foreign lang., history of ideas, &c.
I get daddy-daughter night regularly. Nothing beats'em.
Habe gerade darüber nachgedacht, was genau Spar- Gelernte sind.
Spargelernte.
Aaah
Who has ever used a spell checker on a date, to lie? Maybe Woody Allen to prove he really does know how to spell Connecticut.
