To quote me: "That's what happens when you go listen to philosophers. You get ideas. Wrong ones."
I spent a lot of time with academic philosophers and have found precisely fuck all insight.
- theturtletalks 3y agoThe best philosophic ideas I’ve read come from programmers and builders. I don’t know why that connection exists. My hunch is that programming and philosophy both deal in the abstract so are inherently connected somehow.
