It's ironic that Von Neumann described the circuits of his new invention (i.e. the computer) in terms of McCulloch-Pitts logic for neurons.

@IntuitMachine Walter Pitts was homeless at 13 and hid in the local library. In the library, he read all 3 volumes of Bertrand Russell's Principia Mathematica. nautil.us/issue/21/infor…

@IntuitMachine Godel however proved later that Russell's ambitions to frame all knowledge using mathematical logic had fundamental limits in its completeness. This sentiment was also expressed by Norbert Wiener (while as a student of Russell).

@IntuitMachine Is this how they are made?
Why was I relieved when I reached the first 2019 roll tweet?

@IntuitMachine What do I think about Carlos writing, his ideas, the quality?
So many compromises in presentation with the plus that others might create a conversation.
To my mind it certainly doesn't aid a sense of comprehension.
But now we are in that verb/noun thing.

@IntuitMachine Twitter demonstrates word streaming - I, on the other hand, am not even sure I have got how to build a thread that can be followed. A thread that I would consider coherent thought, at least of a kind.

@IntuitMachine I came here to look at Carlos' entry on C.S. Peirce which I found interesting and want to read again.
