Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave" "In fact, you get pretty good at understanding how the patterns in the show work, and everyone else chained up is like, 'Holy shit bro, how did you know that that tree was going to fall on that guy?' and you're like, 'It's because I fucking pay attention and I'm smart as shit.' You're the smartest of the chained, and they all revere you." Glaucon: "But Socrates, a tree didn't really hit a guy. It's all shadows."

Cartesian linguistics The term Cartesian linguistics was coined with the publication of Cartesian Linguistics: A Chapter in the History of Rationalist Thought (1966), a book on linguistics by Noam Chomsky, written with the purpose of deepening "our understanding of the nature of language and the mental processes and structures that underlie its use and acquisition" (ix).

Cartesian linguistics refers to a form of linguistics developed during the time of René Descartes, a prominent 17th century philosopher whose ideas continue to influence modern philosophy.

He began a project with his roommates called the Colaboratori, a collaborative labratory spelled with an “I” because the “Y” was already taken. Also, Zaq likes the word’s similarity to “satori”. Glisten and I joined the Hangout from Australia. Alex listened from Montreal, Quebec while transcribing the experiment. Zaq joined to share more with us about the Colaboratori project that’s taking root in his home in Portland, Oregon.
