After being a fly on the wall at SFI and similar places, this sounds exactly right to me. Nixon too. [original.jpg] Elon. Trump. Resentment.

I am confused. Lying every day on Twitter is ok, but misrepresenting an identity is bad.. What kind of parody is labeled “Here morons, this is a joke.” Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 7, 2022, at 11:05 AM, glen wrote: > > Musk *is* the joke. A joke of a person ... like we now use the verb Bork

Re: [FRIAM] gone Meta on Twitter, GoodReads, etc.

Musk *is* the joke. A joke of a person ... like we now use the verb Borked. "Musk" could be shorthand for Poe's Law, exquisitely explained in the recent Onion friend of the court filing. "You were totally Musked, man. It's not even bad faith. That guy couldn't joke his way out of a paper bag."

[FRIAM] Essentialism, Praedicamenta, Katēgoriai and Category Theory?

In my fumbling about in Essentialism,  I backed into the (implied to me) question of whether Aristotle's /Katēgoriai/ in any way presaged or set the stage for the formal mathematics of Category Theory and if his /Praedicamenta/ was in some way an Ontology of Epistemology? I'm guessing that the
