Mathematics I haven’t learned yet is mysterious, almost religious in how it tantalizes me.

Mathematics I am learning is frustrating and taxing.

Mathematics I have already learned is trivial, and left as an exercise to the reader.

People always get so weird about my participation in the Flat Earth Advocacy Group. For the last time, we aren't cranks, we aren't conspiracy theorists, we're definitely not geocentrists, and our policy think tank is fully aware of what shape the planet currently is

Bodegas are magical objectively. In reference to the username: what is a "yiff" and why is it being policed? It caught my attention because I don't like police. Automatically, on principle, I probably like "yiff" better than I like police.

Man…. I’m not sober enough to go into this. Who wants to break it down for them

@fathervatistas it’s a furry thing

[fathervatistas]

Oh, my! Well, I suppose I do like that more than mpastos. Happy yiffing, God bless.

It is wild talking to people online where you'll be like "Hey, you're kind of being an ass," and they'll rant about how as a member of a marginalized community... oppression and violence... societal forces... lack of opportunity... and it's like "Ok, people who share some demographic with you are pushed into homelessness and sex work but they are not being assholes online. You are a grad student at Reed who works part-time as a paralegal and you are a real dick."

I think my stance is increasingly that holding self-consistent beliefs is difficult and doesn't come naturally, and arguments for one stance or another often imply much larger commitments than you would think at first. If you've never thought about your beliefs and found that you cannot find a strong argument to reject a belief that seems bizarre and uncomfortable, or found that your reasoning compels you to accept a belief that feels uncomfortable, it's probably because you've never actually subjected your beliefs to serious scrutiny. If all of your beliefs sit comfortably within your worldview, with none that you want to reject but find you can't, you have almost certainly chosen beliefs based on whether they make you comfortable rather than when they are true

14 questions. Two axes. Where do you actually land on AI?

I made an AI Political compass. It doesn't store any info, so tell me what you get in replies or tags.

I like some of the things it can do and use it on a daily basis. I think, like with cars or the Internet, it will change some things for better and others for worse. I’m also not as technical as this result would imply, although I’ve played around with local models a bit.

[rhapsodyxvi]

really if you take any complaint about ai and replace ai with "complex math" you can see a bit more clearly on the topic

"complex math is ruining art/complex math art is not art" nonsense statements

"the government is employing complex math to automate extreme violences on other countries" something to consider and be concerned about

do you see my vision?

[nekoflor]

The statement "Big if true" necessitates the existence of the equivalent contraposition "False if small".

whats the gayest/queerest maths subject?

[0re0bun]

I’m a straight man and analysis feels like the time I had gay sex. (That is to say: I’m not particularly fond of it.)

When you're so tired that all math just sounds like

We will define a trivial shape as something you can draw on a piece of n-paper without lifting your mind. This definition may seem unnecessarily rigorous, but it will do for now.

Convince yourself that the 0-sphere and 10^14-supermultiplexa are the only two trivial manifolds.

We can ignore the supermultiplexa for now, since it is indistinguishable from Ray Bradbury.

If we focus on the 0-sphere, we may notice that by multiplying it by any acidic manifold (a manifold whose pH is greater than 7) you get a basic salt, which proves that all basic salts are divisible by the 0-sphere.
