I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.
Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.
SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.
I need to go kayaking this weekend.

the seal or the scientist?

Yes.
Indiana Jones, anyone? Lara Croft? They were scientists and unhinged and ran around in a lot of fields.
The paleontologists in the Jurasic Park. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought they were unrealistic and very mad. Who would go straight to a giant herbivore like Brachiosaurus or Triceratops? Surely they would be aware of the huge danger, right? Then I got to know a few zoologists and yes, this is exactly what a field zoologist would do. They would also survive, magically.
This is a description of all field scientists. They really aren’t that scary.
No love for the mad theorists huh? The mad philosophers, linguists, mathematicians, …
They are already mad. Have you met mathematicians?
I would also go mad if I had to accept that 83 is a prime number but 1 isn’t
Yeah, 1 is a very strange number, but have you heard of 0?
what i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people
Oh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.
positive or negative nothing 💀 right
i mean, implicitly it’s just whether you’re approaching zero from positive or negative direction, since we’re working with limits.
Like you can shave down a stick however much you want, you can never reach 0 stick by doing so.
Mad linguists are just prescriptivists.
well, not only. There’s also those that try to reconstruct the original language.
Literally a side plot of Disco Elysium.
Is that worth watching ?
It is a goddamn masterpiece and absolutely worth playing. I just finished playing it again after so many years.
It’s certainly worth playing if you enjoy whimsical philosophical narratives.
Excuse me? Whimsical? I did enjoy being a disco infused communism cop with a brain the size of earth that may have been addicted to every substance.
Yeah I was being a little glib. It’s close to perfect for me. Also Kim.
