"object relations" is the ability to express love.
In higher ed we are already facing a crisis because people slowed down having kids 20 years ago. The hysterical right is talking about the crisis, the left cares about the welfare state which needs working-age people to fund it but it still fantasizes that billionaires can pay for it all without the recognition that billionaires need working-age people and an expanding economy to be billionaires.
Young men immediately around me are desperately struggling in various ways, which makes the problem intensely personal to me.
20-30 years from now though the hysterical right will seem prophetic, but for now the responsible right and the literate left share in the "individual uber alles" ideology that problematizes everything.
- gsf_emergency_6 11mo agoThanks. I felt the tears welling up... There's a take that revolutions only happen right after things get slightly better, like spring for the suicidal. (Have been trying to link "individual uber alles" to the macro-nihilistic core of liberalism but nothing has been clicking, including https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46346958 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46346958 [0]) At the risk of overgeneralizing, women tend to make a healthier (more functional=better moral-injury-compensated) tradeoff between value or values. For men, the "trades" come close to women's Goldilocks zone, but "trading" (finance) will always be the devil. A man will rather be seen in the company of high-class "Trading" than be married to "the Trades". (Within the technocratic elite, VCs try to make a better tradeoff than Jane Street/RenTech etc, but the national ideology is such that followers of Warren Buffet can still accuse them of leaving value on the table. PG used to talk of "rapacious" finbros but he & Jessica doubling down on Altman is your "supply-side socialism") [0]top comment: high risk high formal value politics ("war") beat high _informal_ risk high _informal_ value building, family, community ("love"). like how Taleb only gets love (sycophancy, but not really?) from low-bros of the global South-- too much testosterone to make a healthy tradeoff.

- gsf_emergency_6 11mo agoBizness busyness merry crismez! Here just to note that we seem indeed to be getting somewhere, (+according to Arnol'd, Varchenko discovered?/invented? mixed Hodge* structures so he could deal with oscillatory integrals. those lowly monsters that feature in many a baby phyker's trauma.. Pp12-13 https://m.mathnet.ru/php/archive.phtml?wshow=paper&jrnid=rm&paperid=7160&option_lang=eng https://m.mathnet.ru/php/archive.phtml?wshow=paper&jrnid=rm&... So, independently of Deligne, which the francophone VIA didn't want to offend? ) More later! *Hodge as the Grassmann of XXI?
- aebtebeten 11mo agoExcellent! (just looking at the figures, for some reason it reminds me a bit of René Thom and catastrophe theory)
- aebtebeten 11mo agoof course it reminds me of Thom; it's talking about ОСОБЕННОСТИ after all... TIL VIA's title is a shout out to [Hamilton1828] ANV isn't even Erdős-metabolically-challenged; have you been in contact? (Hodge would surely be XX, no? [nice Hodge star, though!])
- gsf_emergency_6 11mo agoGrassmann needed Weyl in XX. Hodge star can be ID'd as "i" on the plane some versions of Gemini have no idea of the Whitney tuck.. (Prigogine didn't put a name to the concept either?)
