        The Cyc Project turned common sense into predicate logic... ...and found it necessary to create lots and lots of "microtheories" (locally consistent, mutually inconsistent) because anything vaguely large acquired contradictions.

        Christopher Alexander's grand unified theory of order is interesting because it's actually grounded in messy reality, aimed at returning to even messier reality

        Incoherent things are to be properly labeled and the contrast to be very clearly specified (e.g. quantum physics vs relativity)

        wrongfully arrested for vandalism just because I was going around the world with my two rubber stamps that say “incoherent” and “coherent”
