This is my first post, and I wondered what it would be about. My favorite Philosopher is Bertrand Russell, and he is primarily responsible for my pursuing Mathematics. I often think a lot about the nature of the human mind. I currently hover between neutral monism and reductive materialism.
Apart from taking advantage of Vivian Eliot who had a mental health issue.
Clever man, fuck of a human being!
@altschmerz Yes, and to Eliot’s shame, he pimped her out to Russell I understand for money.

Bell, R.H. (1983). Bertrand Russell and the Eliots. The American Scholar, 52(3), pp. 309-325.
Love Eliot’s poetry but a prick of a man.
I credit Russell as the inspiration for my entire education in later life, his books literally changed the way I think, learn and apply knowledge. He was a truly great man.
