I've finally published my essay resolving the Frege–Geach problem. philosophics.blog/2026/04/04/whe… Or have I? You tell me. I had worked to dissolve the problem in February, but I wasn't satisfied. I revised the manuscript in March, but I wasn't satisfied because I felt I could go further – and so I did. #philosophy #language #expressivism #essay #blog #semantic #identity #morals #ethics #emotivism #categoryerror #syntax

@EK62076 @chakravartiiin That's 54% at 3rd grade, the average being 6th.

@chakravartiiin It's actually true that 54% of American adults read below a sixth-grade level! Crazy 🤣

Iranian President when he finds out that roughly 50% of U.S. adults cannot read a book written at an eighth-grade level.

@chakravartiiin 54% of Americans read at a third-grade level.

@rawsalerts Pam Bondi goes down

🚨#BREAKING: Fox News is reporting that President Donald Trump has officially fired Pam Bondi from her role as Attorney General.

Third post on time versus duration, this time, brainless jellyfish are doing the teaching. philosophics.blog/2026/04/03/a-j… In this study, we unlink circadian rhythm from a 24-hour cycle. The time of physics is a feature of the map rather than of the universe. #psychology #philosophy #time #rhythm #terrain #map #jellyfish #brains #sun #days #temperature #environment #nature #life #reproduction #biology

@merikuh @unusual_whales Clearly trying to bait Trump.

BREAKING: Iranian officials announced that President Masoud Pezeshkian will release an important letter addressed directly to the American people, before Trump's announcement.

I use music and a ProTools example to illustrate the difference between duration and time. I even invoked the debate between Bergson and Einstein in 1922. philosophics.blog/2026/04/02/why… Time doesn't exist. It's merely a useful heuristic that humans use for social structure. Duration is more intrinsic. Physics has created a space-time map and confused it with the underlying terrain. #philosophy #physics #time #duration #blog #podcast #Einstein #Bergson #debate #music #metaphor #social #ClaudeAI

Time travel is impossible science fiction, but not for the reasons pop physics thinks. @brywillis634737/note/c-236459523?r=pvxh5&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@brywillis6347… #scifi #sciencefiction #reading #blog #posting #writing #time #travel #history #philosophy #perspective #timetravel #substack #wordpress #physics

@LibertyCappy Did I hear 'rocket launcher' before 35?

This is an absolute BANGER LOL The random "thirty five" in there 😭😭

An outline of my approach to critique Parfit's moral maths open.substack.com/pub/brywillis6… #philosophy #morality #mathematics #parfit #ontologicalgrammar #writing #essay #academic #reading #books

After another 'AI Detected' flag, I resorted to Gemini to lay it out. philosophics.blog/2026/03/31/thi… Gemini produced an entire blog post. It did offer me tips to dumb down my writing, but I declined. I also had NotebookLM create a podcast, cuz that's how I roll. #philosophy #writing #ai #aidetectors #statistics #falsepositives #aipolice #bollox #blog #podcast #academicessays #lexicaldensity #LLMs #ontologicalgrammar #Parfit #perception #syntacticregularity #critique #Gemini #Kant #language #pooh

Shifting from Parcifal to Parfit, I'm debating the value of moral maths that seem to be an outgrowth of the attempt to couch everything as utility and economics. philosophics.blog/2026/03/30/the… #philosophy #morality #psychology #economics #utility #math #mathematics #blog #essay #writing #podcast #reading #parfit #reason #academia #enlightenment #medical #intervention #hospital

@historyinmemes Literally, he shouldn't have been there in the first place. No excuses.

In 1966, a U.S. Navy pilot secretly blinked the word “TORTURE” in Morse code while being coerced into claiming he was fine.

@FascinatingTrue @historyinmemes Just my luck, and I'd be broadcasting 'PIZZA' 🍕

It was U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah Denton Jr. in Vietnam. He believed his captors did not discover his ruse until roughly 1974, after his release. However, he was severely punished immediately after the 1966 interview for his spoken defiance, as he had used the opportunity to voice full support for the U.S. government rather than denouncing the war as instructed.

@KweenInYellow @grok Perhaps some fact-checking. The whataboutism in the responses is telling.

Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.

Any putative truths beneath or beyond truth-talk, apart from analytic or tautological cases, are not directly available to us except through mediated encounter, interpretation, and language. @brywillis634737/note/c-235187276?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=pvxh5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@brywillis6347… #philosophy #truth #blog #rhetoric #talk #language #interpretation

The Nano Banana API comments on blog posts? Is this a thing? philosophics.blog/2024/11/01/mid… I noticed a comment awaiting approval on my Philosophics Blog. It was from the API commenting on a Midjourney 6.1 post I published in November 2024. It also reminds us of how far image generation has improved in just over a year. It obviously read the content, given the comment… #ai #generativeai #nanobanana #blog #images #midjourney #progress #api #commenting #workflow #advert #language #philosophy
