Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Intellectual rigor: His constant pursuit of linguistic precision and logical analysis, evident in tweets like '∃x∃y(x≠y ∧∀z(z=x∨z=y)) is how we guarantee that a domain has exactly two things, but if we want to use this to specify a set, we can do ∃x∃y(((x∈𝔹 ∧ y∈𝔹) ∧ x≠y) ∧ ∀z(z∈𝔹 ⇒ z=x∨z=y))'.
- Philosophical erudition: His deep knowledge of philosophical history and ability to discourse on various thinkers, as showcased in tweets like 'Nietzsche and Carnap, despite coming from approaches that were quite different from each other, endeavoured to overcome metaphysics with some intriguing methodological overlaps (such as scepticism of ordinary language's superficial grammar since it tricks us with pseudo problems)'.
- Analytical clarity: His commitment to clear and unambiguous language, rejecting vagueness and obfuscation, is evident in tweets critiquing others' use of terms like 'existence' and 'reality', e.g. ''reality' You already know my thoughts on that stupid meaningless Aristotelian term.'.
- Wit and sarcasm: His tweets often employ a dry, sarcastic wit, as seen in lines like ''UHHHH... WILL TO POWA!!! MAKE MEANING FOR YOUR LIFE..... SLAVE MORALITY....UGHH ÜBAHMENSCH... GAWD IS DEAD....OUR MORALITY IS ALIEN.....ARCHETYPES.... I'M A PHILOSOPHER SEE, READ MY HIGHLY AMBIGUOUS POETRY''.
- Iconoclastic spirit: His willingness to challenge established norms and thinkers, exemplified by his dismissal of continental philosophy as 'nonsense' and his critique of Aristotelian metaphysics, e.g. 'Imagine thinking that Eastern philosophy is valuable and profound. As much as I hate Plato and most other Hellenic philosophers, I'd rather pick them ANY DAY over some swarthy moгon like Confucius or Nagarjuna.'
Weaknesses:
- Arrogance: His sense of intellectual superiority and disdain for those he perceives as intellectually inferior is evident in tweets like ''You're so fat that an analytic metaphysician can't quantify over you.' and 'Continental philosophers really aren't sending their best. You'd have to be sub 90 IQ in order to call yourself a 'magical idealist socialist feminist gnostic pagan'. What an awful combination of labels.'.
- Dismissiveness: His tendency to dismiss ideas or perspectives that don't align with his own analytical framework, as seen in his rejection of ordinary language philosophy and his characterization of continental philosophy as 'nonsense'.
- Obscurantism: While criticizing obfuscation in others, his own use of dense logical notation and technical jargon can be seen as obscuring meaning, as in tweets like 'Lemma proof for the claim that all logically possible propositions are logically necessary (♢p → □p) I say that RAT is a false meta theorem of modal logic K and the claim is provably false.'.
- Insensitivity: His analytical approach can lead to a lack of consideration for ethical or emotional dimensions, exemplified by his dismissal of moral assertions as 'meaningless', e.g. ''Rаре is obviously bad', that's a meaningIess sentence.'.
- Fixation: His seeming fixation on the concept of 'existence' and its implications, which he repeatedly returns to and critiques others' understanding of, could be seen as an unhealthy preoccupation or even obsession.
Your Simpsons character
Reverend Lovejoy
Like Reverend Lovejoy, the cynical and sardonic minister in The Simpsons, John Langshaw Austin exhibits a dry, sarcastic wit and a tendency to look down on those he perceives as intellectually inferior. Lovejoy's frequent exasperation with the antics of the Simpson family and his dismissive attitude towards their shenanigans mirrors Austin's disdain for what he sees as the obfuscations and nonsense of continental philosophy, exemplified in tweets like ''Contгооnintel', I like that. 'Сuсkinental' is another good one. You should all start using these words more often in order to disparage midwit pseudo philosophers such as Nietzsche and Deleuze as well as their midwit followers who have been attracted to their pseudo profundity.' Both characters also share a fondness for sharp, cutting critiques and a sense of intellectual superiority over their perceived inferiors.

Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
John Langshaw Austin exhibits many traits that would place him in the Ravenclaw house at Hogwarts. His commitment to intellectual rigor and analytical clarity is evident in tweets like 'Certainly ordinary language has no claim to be the last word, if there is such a thing.' and his critique of vague terminology like 'reality'. This aligns with Ravenclaw's emphasis on learning, wisdom, and wit. Furthermore, his philosophical erudition and ability to discourse on various thinkers, as seen in 'Nietzsche and Carnap, despite coming from approaches that were quite different from each other, endeavoured to overcome metaphysics with some intriguing methodological overlaps', reflects Ravenclaw's appreciation for knowledge and intellectual curiosity. While his occasional arrogance and dismissiveness could be seen as counter to Ravenclaw's values, his overall dedication to the pursuit of truth and clarity through rigorous analysis makes him a fit for this house.
Your movie
Your song
The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
The haunting lyrics of 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel, which lament the inability to truly communicate and the prevalence of superficial discourse, would resonate with John Langshaw Austin's frustration with the perceived obfuscations of ordinary language and continental philosophy. Lines like 'People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening' reflect Austin's critiques of those who misuse philosophical terminology or fail to express themselves with precision, as seen in tweets like ''real' 'exist' Pipe down, гetaгd. Good for nothing Iow IQ ordinary pleb that's unaware of the ramifications of his linguistic commitments as he goes around forming meaningless gibberish quasi ebonics sentences to score some likes from his other fellow Iow IQ ordinary plebs.' The song's melancholic tone and lament for the lack of genuine communication would also mirror Austin's sense of intellectual isolation and disdain for those he perceives as intellectually inferior.
