I just had to look up the word "heterogeneous" to double check its meaning while reading this book and realized I have had the opposite meaning in my head for years!

@liaizon what’s the meaning and what were you thinking it is?

wakest ⁂

if heterogeneous means diverse
and homogeneous means same
I was wondering what transgeneous would mean, and of course that lead me on a rabbithole to find the only refrence to this word that I could find which seems to be from a translation of a essay written by the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk and now I am stuck reading this paper about a some German controversy about Sloterdijk's ideas relating to humanism...

@liaizon Heidegger jargon... nard to make sense of that small quote. but also heterogeneous doesn't need this jargon to get down and boogie-woogie

Think to the Russell's Paradox: there is a group of people not pertaining at any group.

I'm part of that group, as many other people here.

Rather than define me "non-binary" I prefer to use "non-boolean".

Here is why I see every person as a singularity, rather than use a grouping label: grouping is the foundation of every discrimination.
