Comment Comment by DRMacIver Conversation with Will (Antithesis CEO) a couple months ago, heavily paraphrased:Will: "Apparently Hegel actually hated the whole Hegelian dialectic and it's falsely attributed to him."Me: "Oh, hm. But the name is funny and I'm attached to it now. How much of a problem is that?"Will: "Well someone will definitely complain about it on hacker news."Me: "That's true. Is that a problem?"Will: "No, probably not."(Which is to say: You're entirely right. But we thought the name was funny so we kept it. Sorry for the philosophical inaccuracy) parent DRMacIver 7 months ago
