  • That would be a coincidence since Bitcoin was created by a single college kid.
    But I’ve seen SN’s website a few years before 2022 when I figured out his identity and Putin knowing his identity would not be surprising considering what was on his main page.

    What stuff is being said about in the Epstein files?


  • I don’t know, but what I **can **tell you is that
    I have noticed that there had been an awful lot of Iranian in European media in Europe flying pro-monarchy flags and by awful lot, I mean all protests in at least four Western countries outside of Iran, and that it’s presented by EU media as normal or semi-normal when it should not be.
    We live in the 21st century, not the middle ages or renaissance times.
    Then, there’s ‘the Iranian flag replacement on X’ by Elon Musk.
    I guess he likes seeing the return of monarchies too.















  • The issue here is whether or not you are talking about something concrete or abstract and in current physics there’s a lot of concepts that are being treated as if they are objects.

    It’s as if you were reading a scientific paper where meteors are losing materials due to rocks breathing or birds flying into certain directions due to winds howling.
    Winds don’t howl, rocks don’t breathe.
    Poetry does not help one understand the fundamentals of how physics work.
    And I argue that this kind of fallacy is rampant throughout the physics community.

    I (and some others similarly) suggest that there should be a systemic rules to prevent that from happening.

    Here’s my proposal:

    1. Every sentence in the entire paper needs to be checked for fallacies and if they contain them, then they need to be crossed out with a red pen.
    2. This checklist of fallacies should be universal, thus not be part of a blind peer review where the peer could uphold his or her own logic.
    3. Every fundamental concrete word can be drawn with a shape.
    4. Every fundamental relational abstract word can be drawn with shapes and arrows.
    5. Every fundamental dynamic abstract word can be drawn with multiple frames.
    6. Other fundamental words are names.
    7. Words that are abstract cannot use verbs or properties that belong to concrete words, just like non-organism cannot use verbs or properties that belong to organisms.


  • Computers.
    Not even computer games, although that would have added bonus points as a target for bullying, but using a computer in general.

    Then again, bullying was more of an attitude thing during my youth, so you didn’t get bullied for your hobbies, but for your behavior.
    Ugly geeky kids were left alone if they hung out with other geeky kids. They got bullied as soon as they tried to associate themselves with the cool kids.

    That took me a while to think about.
