the greatest master of both worlds was perhaps descartes. he was a first rate philosopher, first rate mathematician, and a first rate scientist. but more importantly, he built a bridge from shape rotation to wordcelling by introducing the cartersian coordinate system and beginning the system algebraic geometry. he showed us how to rotate shapes with words, and how to organize words with shapes.

i love how this meme is entirely words and there are only fuzzy balls of conceptual context to rotate

good job boys, you’re definitely describing a real phenomenon and not relabeling a political compass again

This is similar to philosopher Robert Nozick's discussion of "wordsmith intellectuals" in "Why Do Intellectuals Oppose Capitalism?" His thesis discusses that wordsmiths do well in academia and are rewarded less for it in the market than they believe that they should be.

You, my good sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. No wait, scratch that. A wordcel and a rotator. Looking forward to more such wordcel ramblings. Subscribed!

I've been waiting for this to drop, and it only took people with a combined net worth of 1.6 billion dollars to notice. Nice.

So rotators are necessarily prone to schizophrenia and religiosity?

…and wordcels to autism and atheism?

This would suggest a natural alliance between physics, artists, and religion

This manages to be funny and profound. And as a wordcel I love these terms for the sheer delight they take and inspire. Keep up the madness.
