burny_tech · x · 2026-09-27
A philosophy-meets-math parody tweet in the voice of "master philosopher Alain Badiou," claiming that by his metaphysics the transcendental is actually a Grothendieck topos. The quoted bit mocks his fourfold typology of change (small/medium/big/biggest) and his 600-page tomes. Niche intellectual humor circulating in the AI scene.
