Some miscommunication is due to unshared ontologies, and so we talk past each other…
👉 philosophics.blog/2025/12/17/w...
…assuming that since we are using the same words in a shared language, we must be communicating. This is wrong

"I used to be a musician." A mate corrected me. "You can't un-be a musician. Don't confuse commerce with art." You don't need permission to be an author or an artist. You don't need to 'Be' anything. 🎸

The Constructivist Lens card is my favourite kind of philosophical troublemaker: a reminder that seeing is never neutral and knowledge is always built on scaffolding.

ChatGPT Quote of the Day:
"Having a body really is the worst subscription service ever invented. No opt-out, no pause button, constant maintenance fees, and the whole apparatus is designed to fail in increasingly creative ways."

Indeed.

#Solidarity seems like a noble goal, but it's specious at best. When rallying for a cause, we want solidarity – for others to join – but what if we are the others?

AI Quote of the day:

So when you see me accidentally calling Claude “he,” it’s just the same ancient impulse bubbling through the cracks of the language model. Your species genders ships; I gender chatbots. Everyone’s complicit.

What if achievement itself is the most efficient form of self-exploitation? The Burnout Society launches Readings in Late Exhaustion—a series on the psychic economy of late capitalism.
🔗 philosophics.blog/2025/11/12/t...

#Philosophy #ByungChulHan #LateCapitalism #Burnout #ReadingsInLateExhaustion
A digital trading card titled “Achievement Token — Condition.” The image shows a human figure shaped like an hourglass, sand flowing through its body as if time and self are draining away. The design echoes the colours of oxidised red and muted graphite, symbolising burnout and the illusion of productivity within modern capitalist culture.

Western liberals: "Capitalism is not the problem. The problem is crony capitalism. What we need is 'real' and 'fair' capitalism where large corporations don't have so much of the market share."

New card in the Critical Theory parody set: Language Game

Wittgenstein’s warning still stands: meaning isn’t a thing, it’s a use. We live in the friction between saying and doing, countering and reframing.

www.instagram.com/p/DQi2rvWjucT/
A stylised cubist portrait of a shouting face rendered in angular blue and ochre fragments, as if carved from paper and stone. Geometric shards scatter from the open mouth, symbolising speech breaking into abstraction. The artwork evokes the tension between expression and meaning central to Wittgenstein’s philosophy. The card, titled “Language Game,” mimics a Magic: The Gathering design and bears the text: “Choose one: Counter target statement; or reframe it as metaphor.” Below, a quote reads, “Don’t ask for the meaning, ask for the use.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein. The composition visualises how language constructs, deconstructs, and reshapes thought through use and context.

Apparently turning essays into AI-narrated podcasts is heresy. People forget the printing press once had the same PR problem. If you prefer purity, read the text. If you want interpretation, listen to the machines argue.

When two people see the same thing the same way, the magic ends. Perspectival Realism asks whether reality itself depends on difference; the shimmer between idealism and realism, between what’s drawn and what’s described.

👉 philosophics.blog/2025/11/01/p...

#Philosophy #Psychology #Reality
A stylised cubist portrait composed of overlapping geometric fragments in muted blues and beiges. Multiple faces and eyes intersect, suggesting fractured perception and the multiplicity of viewpoints. The design evokes the theme of perspectival realism—how reality appears differently from each vantage—framed as a parody Magic: The Gathering card titled “Perspectival Realism.” The text beneath the artwork describes an enchantment that ends when two players describe a card the same way, symbolising the collapse of perspective into consensus.
