I call them the conceptions of First, Second, Third. First is the conception of being or existing independent of anything else. Second is the conception of being relative to, the conception of reaction with, something else.

Three conceptions are perpetually turning up at every point in every theory of logic, and in the most rounded systems they occur in connection with one another. They are conceptions so very broad and consequently indefinite that they are hard to seize and may be easily overlooked.

I like how everything always feels like a scam. The way that health insurance costs are calculated is this haze of numbers and different terms that all somehow come out to, "You think you're not paying for something until a 200 dollar bill arrives three months later"

The average net worth of a health insurance CEO is $156 million. NO ONE should be getting that rich because we need to see a doctor.

Shohei Ohtani’s performance in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS is the stuff of baseball legend.

Simply put, it’s the greatest individual game in postseason history:
• 3-for-3, 3 HR, BB
• 6.0+ IP, 2 H, 0 R/ER, 3 BB, 10 K

And in a pennant-clincher, no less.

How can a past idea be present?... it can only be going, infinitesimally past, less past than any assignable past date. We are thus brought to the conclusion that the present is connected to the past by a series of real infinitesimal steps.
