when the rhythm is glad there is literally NOTHING to be sad like damn they were so right. literally the brightest minds of our generation

Hmmm, this is a funny one to think about…

Look. I’d say a door is actually much the same as a switch in this regard weirdly enough. Because a switch’s purpose isn’t to block electricity or to let it flow — otherwise you wouldn’t use a switch! You’d have either a gap or just a wire there.

No, a switch’s purpose is also to do both, just like a door. And a switch is considered ‘off’ when it is open as it doesn’t allow passage. So by the same logic a door must be considered ‘off’ when open! And ‘on’ when closed. I rest my case

This is causing a bit of a stir on Twitter but:

if we consider a door to be a kind of mechanical device, there must be an on state and an off state.

so.

Socrates: “We are in a kind of prison, and must not free ourselves or run away.”

Also Socrates: *commits suicide*

I love Diogenes. Not for anything he stood for, but because he lived and breathed exclusively to clown on Plato every single day and I think that is really beautiful.
