+Sorry for the off-topic linkpost, but I want to point to a fascinating [new mathematical philosophy-of-language post](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/onwgTH6n8wxRSo2BJ/unnatural-categories-are-optimized-for-deception) on _Less Wrong_ [(alternative viewer)](https://www.greaterwrong.com/posts/onwgTH6n8wxRSo2BJ/unnatural-categories-are-optimized-for-deception)! You really have to admire thinkers who can devote so much energy to probing the intricacies of such abstract topics without having any kind of pragmatic ulterior motive.
