The pursuit of truth

My office is close to a tech talk venue, a kitchen, a laundry room , a piano and a gym. They helped me fight against my everyday blues.

I remembered vividly it was a Monday morning, with a cup of coffee at hand, I was intrigued by a tech talk title which was Physics, Mathematics and Philosophy. I immediately convinced myself to skip team meetings and attend the talk instead. Why not? If Monday becomes less organized, it won't be a Monday.

The talk turned out to be a disaster. I walked away from the talk with the following three points.
  • The speaker really loved a comic book about a life of a logician.
  • In reality, the logician held his pipe in his left hand, while in the book, he used his right hand to hold it.
  • The logician had quite a few love affairs in his life which were omitted intentionally or unintentionally. The speaker has not figured it out yet.
To be continued.
