This is like how one often wants to distinguish the points of an affine space from the vectors representing displacements in that space (there is no distinguished origin for the physical world, but there is a distinguished concept of zero d

The basic issue with geometric algebra is that geometric vectors generally do not have a distinguished notion of unit magnitude (is unit magnitude 1 meter? 1 mile? 1 inch?), so it is silly to work in a framework that requires pretending the

The stock market is not definitionally "reality" in the sense being used. It's perfectly fine to look at the stock market and consider it "detached from reality", in the sense being said.
