WTFormality.
Much philosophy of logic is shaped, explicitly or implicitly, by the thought that logic is distinctively formal and abstracts from material content. The distinction between formal and material does not appear to coincide with the more familiar contrasts between a priori and empirical, necessary and contingent, analytic and synthetic—indeed, it is often invoked to explain these. Nor, it turns out, can it be explained by appeal to schematic inference patterns, syntactic rules, or grammar. What does it mean, then, to say that logic is distinctively formal?
Keep Breathing and check Inbox.
I've just opened my email and there's nothing out of the ordinary there. It's the usual daily flood of schedule, project, travel, information, and junk mail. Then I notice...I'm holding my breath.
As the email spills onto my screen, as my mind races with thoughts of what I'll answer first, what can wait, who I should call, what should have been done two days ago; I've stopped the steady breathing I was doing only moments earlier in a morning meditation and now, I'm holding my breath.
And here's the deal. You're probably holding your breath, too.
DarkCity.
Man stelle sich vor, nach Schließung des letzten Opelwerkes würden alle jemals produzierten Fahrzeuge dieser Marke nicht mehr fahren können, weil die Zündung zum Schutz vor unerlaubtem Weiterverkauf des Fahrzeugs einer Synchronisation mit einem Rüsselsheimer Server bedarf, der dann leider nicht mehr existiert.
