Disappointed by Carlo Rovelli’s “Order of Time”. Reads more like a #physicist’s hobby project in #creativeWriting (though quite a poetic one)… rather than a container of eye-opening, bleeding-edge information. pic.twitter.com/juDwful4Hr
Main ideas: #time is quantized, entropy increases with time, time is local and relative, we don’t know how to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics, because we don’t understand time. 🤦🏻♂️
Ugh.
Also, I’m afraid most of us who skipped #physics and #philosophy classes won’t understand a thing reading through this tasteful collection of quotes and references (from thermodynamics or Mahabharata).
How contemporary #philosophy can help you appreciate your body?
For instance, by defining that “your body is neither a subjective experience nor a mere object or thing: it is a transjective emergence in an autopoietic bio economy.”
Uhm… no. I was being sarcastic about the great thinkers of our times. Just go for a run. Or a swim. THAT will help.
The only— big —problem with the excellent #Krishnamurti is his voluntary omission of practicality and methods. #Philosophy without action.
