I don't disagree, I just don't think it is done well or at least as seriously as it used to. In modern philosophy, there are many mathematically specious arguments, that just make clear how large the mathematical gap has become e.

I hear these arguments a lot from law and philosophy students, never from those trained in mathematics. It seems to me, "literary" people will still be discussing these theoretical hypotheticals as technology passes them by buildi

it is a categorization, like all things in biology. One of the most robust and significant ones for all of life is sexual versus asexual reproduction. It is intentionally blurring understanding to say that it is not a binary. This is not a

Right, but those were self imposed requirements based on intuition. The axioms of sigma algebras are different than these requirements. If anything measure theory highlights the limits and conditions of when to consider something measureabl

why is this a critique of measure theory? Measure theory is the answer to the paradox. The partition uses unmeasurable sets, so comparing the surface areas before and after doesn't make sense. You could do the partition a billion times

its not really self inflicted when it literally determines how many sales you will have. Plenty of people are put off of VR because of the form factor. Quest looks like a nerdy toy, which does indeed influence who buys and/or uses it

fair enough, I was only speaking for the US, which has a slower pace and lack of motivation throughout k-12 + calc series. I still have no idea why they don't teach basic algebra with matrices, so it doesn't seem like a giant bad

how do you motivate formal functions and relations to 5th graders, and more importantly why? Relations are important because of the natural partitions of a set they create and the development of group theory. Functions are useful in calculu

Sure, texts like "linear algebra done right" or "Understanding Analysis" do a unusually good job of integrating large multi part examples where the reader works through them and proves the theorems themselves before the

For one, I have never heard the term "child raiser" in my life so I assume its even more confusing for those with english as a second language. It also just sounds so emotionless, like children are cattle. I'm really struggli

by gmadsen 3y ago
that is a little bit of hyperbole. No school in 5th or 6th grade is giving formal definitions of relations and functions. There is a reason nearly all undergrad math books in analysis, topology, algebra, all devote an entire first chapter t

This is just not true. Reading is necessary but hardly about as important. If you are lucky and get a good text, the exercises guide you to "invent" the important parts of the theory. Otherwise its just definitions and theorems, a

its the "right" thing to do only by a small population of tech workers. Most people do not care, and ad customers would be very upset if this degrades targeting.

sure, my point still stands. It is a reasonable evolutionary hypothesis that groups that err on the side of trusting a leader succeed more that distrustful groups. Obviously there is a learned behavior component. I'm just not certain
