Philosophy is Optimism

The optimism of reading philosophy is that it languages a world outside of accurate instrumentality or expediency (correspondence isn’t a requirement of philosophy).

There’s also the slow dopamine train of prediction involved in interpretation of events, then casting it forward. Especially when one becomes entangled in the forward

Entangled, as in quantum (like languaged, it means being part of a unified wave) in that once a position is committed to, it locks in (and locks out) other positions (for that same observation). The trick is not to become entangled. Which probably means staying out of meetings (making it harder to build audience, publish etc). Of course, with multiple worlds, other positions remain fully correspondent. The trick is to be able to jump into those other spaces.
