This is why… “science” needs lions ever ready to deploy the quite never old ultraviolence of wit (echoing FWN?)? [and not awards or nobel prizes: “A good sciencing is its own reward” - not Faora-Ul] (EP,wrong era, similar to HRV?)

Wit may be the epitaph of an emotion, but it may also be the shem capable of animating a golem... If PE had been from Krypton, would death have been the moment one left the essential truths of mathsing for the accidental truths of sciencing?

  Sounds about right? EDIT: placeholder for thinking more about this in context of Acemoglu & Restrepo: according to them ai as pointed at science today will not lead to even midterm econ growth “Why zero-to-one’s cannot be automated” id=41839542, note that nongoverning glamour-chasing elite Swedes didnt accolade Acemoglu for the institution-agnostic (“weird”er?) parts of his work that we were recently interested in Edit: on 2nd slightly sleep deprived thought, seems to me that its flipped: sciencing is conerned with the essential and mathsing is the data-to-code..

    If sleep deprivation gets you to anything near FAKvS' benzene structure (what did TAE think?) it may yet be useful! Sounds like we've greatly constrained our IRL hops to {1,2}. Are you familiar with any tulle-clad tensor inventors? > Another damned thick heavy book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble, eh, Mr Gibbon? —P WH, DoG&E

      Sleep deprivation might have led to {2->1}, but the almost iambic lines you 404’d on were borne of a restful sleep under fully endogenic (biochemical) influence. (Thats why you 404’d) Nice you brought up the tensoring, my current work related (& pseudo AMP laced) investigations (thanx to your earlier hint) are cloyingly whispering: that Werner’s unitary designs should be reworked with bright eyed bushy tailism for cases t> X

It's odd how Hollywood goes to extreme lengths to make people's faces visible under/despite helmets. I wonder if this is related to the fact that we've evolved for some reason to have visible sclera? 1. I saw some Planet of the Apes remake tiktok recently, but the huge sclera pretty much squicked me on their costuming. (then again, I really appreciated the sclera on Khryusha the pig; maybe because he's not supposed to be a realistic character?) 2. Some coats of arms have battle helmets; some have barred-face helmets. I always figured the latter were designed to make it easier to drink at the beer tent, but maybe even they agreed with Hollywood on the visibility issue? the Roman (allies') sol'n: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emesa_helmet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emesa_helmet 3. Disney used to have an exercise for animators: make a sack of flour emote. Maybe actors who intend to play hard characters ought to have to do the screen test with a bag over their head?

Are you making an economic argument [pace HRV] that wit is better than distinction for avoiding underproduction of science, if it were to be monetarily compensated solely by its [near-zero] marginal unit returns? > Je défie qu’on me montre une république ancienne ou moderne dans laquelle il n’y ait pas eu de distinctions. On appelle cela des hochets ! Eh bien ! c’est avec des hochets que l’on mène les hommes. —NB, 18 Floréal X ("Can anyone show me a republic, ancient or modern, without any achievements? They call them swag! OK — swag is how men are led.")

  Id have hoped that it isn’t much of any kind of argument, since sharp wits can be an indispensable aid to … (pace Edward Gibbon — personally, via Feynman*!) … leading by example (showing >>> telling) ( but also/and by swagger (Since wit, appropriately weaponized & singularly demo’d, is its own distinction? ) ) NB hadnt experienced Eurovision, might have expanded his idea of swag.. * >But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous (quoted in TFLiP) EDIT2: seems like NB had other ways to motivate his men (beside fear & swag)— according to that English historian “Livy” was smacked in this kind of context, but we’ll never know for sure now EDIT: (material) baubles require a more or less centralized fount of honor (as republics ever had), transmission of (the clear products of) wit.. otoh, needs just… a market (of at least one)

    wow, full context from Gibbon is great: > It has been objected to Marcus, that he sacrificed the happiness of millions to a fond partiality for a worthless boy; and that he chose a successor in his own family, rather than in the republic. Nothing however, was neglected by the anxious father, and by the men of virtue and learning whom he summoned to his assistance, to expand the narrow mind of young Commodus, to correct his growing vices, and to render him worthy of the throne for which he was designed. But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy... compare (~500 years earlier for MA; a couple of thousand for EG) https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0178%3Atext%3DMeno%3Asection%3D93c https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext... et seq. (93c-95a; great foreshadowing by Anytus...)
