"I really wonder what Hume would think of modern scientific modelling practices. I scarcely think that notions like infinitely-dimensional vector spaces or complex numbers are neatly traceable back to impressions, and yet they produce systems with incredible empirical success." — Dec 23, 2025 06:09PM

"Only through dialectical sensibility can one hope to avoid reification, and even then it is not ensured. The strongest concepts shape societies in a way that reproduces them, such is their nature as replicators. In this way, turning a blind eye to history risks ignoring this process, and thus a reduction of epistemic worth to reproductive fitness." — Dec 14, 2025 04:05PM

"A philosophy of orientation requires first a study of everyday orientation, that is a phenomenology of orientation. For this, language will be our greatest recourse, as a source of implicit orientations, footholds and signs - thus the enquiry becomes a phenomenology of the language of orientation." — Nov 27, 2025 06:48AM

“There is a Quichua riddle: El que me nombra, me rompe. Whatever names me, breaks me. The solution, your course, is "silence." But the truth is, anyone who knows your name can break you in two.”
