If I dont go to work I starve. If I organise with my colleagues for a more favourable contract I will be removed by security guards. If we protest this we will be arrested by police. Are you able to only recognise force the moment blood is

I consider you wrong since an alliance presupposes a unity of interest whereas the interest of a worker (get more money, work less or maybe more nuanced: have as much control over own work as possible, have as much exposure to fruits of wor

You need measure theory for probability, economics, QFT and Physics, etc. And who is doing "all the math"? The vast majority of resarchers who "do math" are largely in PDEs and other fields that simply use the technology

yeah, and they pushed it as a theory of everything (which I think they had justification to believe for the first few decades [~] to get funding. So I also blame the entire economic system that academia is unfortunately embedded in. [~] It

No one should hate string theory??? No one should hate any area of valid research? That sounds extremely dogmatic and reactionary. String theory specifically is an extremely rich and fruitful theory that has had huge application to mathemat

So it's an absolute moonshot that posits that all observed discrepencies of galactic rotation curves is actually due to a coincidental and highly unlikely distribution of topological defects (that are not consistent with the full field

Here's to surviving in the face of a near century long ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Its gonna be very strange one day to look back on this period of history and see everyone claiming that they were always against it, just as they do

What a waste of time. Who provides funding for this? Also mildly annoying to use "isomorphism" outside of mathematics to describe a relation or analogy between things. You can just say relation or analogy. Relying on the technical

There is zero understanding of the cause of internal experience. We can't even strictly define what it is. My contention isn't that materialism doesn't appear to be a reasonable canditate for cognitive process, but that we st

Is creating things of aesthetic quality not of value with respect to the human condition? Is not some subset of that aesthetic quality derivative of the intuition and intention of a human mind? Sure, if you want to build some tehchnology to

by monadINtop 2y ago
No, you need intelligent things to be intelligent. And it would probably be good to distinguish between "things that appear superficially intelligent" and "things that have genuine capacity for internal experience" while

The distinction is philosophical. Tech bros consider "art assests" or consumer oriented products as art. In their eyes its capibility as a tool for profit is a downstream effect. My point was that since their entire purpose in lif

by monadINtop 2y ago
Yep, you're right. But idk why you phrased that like it's a rebuttal to my criticism. This is another failure of our economic system, for incentivising the owners of art production to churn out literal mindless slop to cut costs,

by monadINtop 2y ago
lol sometimes I wonder if the reason so many tech bros make so many grandiose statements about how AI has already trancended the bounds of human creativity is because they've never really had actual experience with art and literature a

People don't uncover new mathematics with formal rules and symbols pushing, at least not for the most part. They do so first with intuition and vague belief. Formalisation and rigour is the final stage of constructing a proof or argume

No. Not in my experience. Anyone with experience in research mathematics will tell you that making progress at the research level is driven by intuition - intuition honed from years of training with formal rules and rigor but intuition none

the technical math definition is a rigourous formulation that encapsulates exactly the same thing as what we mean when we say things are curved, but one that also extends far more generally into contexts where our old intuition fails. The s

Yes but this paper isn't isn't an island unto itself. It's a nice little lemma that can illustrate a point within the subject of special relativity, from a different perspective. It could be included as a small derivation in
