      Thanks for the essay! Your emphasis on the source domain of Wittgenstein's metaphor, on actual spinning, got me thinking visually. This diagram came out :)pic.twitter.com/nXVP92r6hU

          Thanks! This got weirder: playing with logic gates because of @MarkChangizi's visual experiments led me to truth tables (which Wittgenstein popularized!). With black/red threads in my head, what came out is remarkably textile circuits, up to adders.https://twitter.com/elzr/status/1169409893197111296 …

          Logic & arithmetic merge in logic gates & binary numbers. This experimental comic visualizes from bits to adders, without encapsulating symbols. See parts in mind-numbing detail while perceiving the whole: @scottmccloud's closure, @Nsousanis's sequential & simultaneous duality. pic.twitter.com/ovvS5ytOrW

          No other sphere of life has provided so many metaphorical terms than the making of cloth. Even "list" was originally a textile term.

          Yes! @vpostrel, one of my favorite writers, is writing a book reappraising textiles as THE technology. It's finally coming in fall 2020: The Fabric of Civilization - How textiles made the world. Can't wait! “The spindle was the first wheel." -EJW Barber https://vpostrel.com/blog/so-what-is-your-next-book-about …
