\frac{\aleph_1}{2^{\aleph_1}}? The burden is on you to justify this notation. Perhaps you can begin with your theory of cardinal division. You'll have...

"On the whole, I wish I'd stayed in Tunbridge Wells." -- Claude Rains character at the end of Lawrence of Arabia. Couldn't find a shorter clip but it'...

Point taken. If Government and Corporations are collaborating, normal people don't stand a chance. Mark Zuckerberg was in the news today, sending a le...

I'm not an expert on this topic. As I understand it, memoization is just used to store results of calculations and things like that. I could be wrong ...

Are you perhaps talking about memoization? and

Comes down to what responsibility platforms have. Being litigated all over the world at the moment. I don't really know much about it. I heard he got ...

Oh no, that's the point. Mussolini defined fascism as the merger of state and corporate power. That's exactly what happened when the US government pre...

My apologies either way.

There are provably no such G2 gaps in the real numbers. Between any two distinct real numbers, there is always another one strictly between them. The ...

Self-discipline ... I don't even wanna ask.

ps -- This just came across the wire. The head of Telegram was just arrested in France, for a "lack of moderation" on the platform. Europe is cracking...

I'm old enough to remember when liberals considered that a virtue. And there weren't any new wars while Trump was president. The world didn't blow up ...
August 25, 2024 at 03:01
Oh yes I quite agree. Price controls are popular. It's not till a ways down the road that the shortages and lines (queues for my British cousins) begi...
August 25, 2024 at 02:24
You know as I remember it -- I didn't go back to check -- you and I were going back and forth about whether it was a "coup." And you were claiming Bid...

The emerging globalist government is cracking down on free speech. You and I are not on the same side of this issue. Perhaps we can agree to disagree....
August 25, 2024 at 02:15
Haha. Good one Mr. Bee. When do you think that will happen? It's her official campaign strategy to never say an unscripted word. We all know what happ...
August 18, 2024 at 07:36
I did not engage with your arguments for the same reason I don't engage with flat earthers. It's perfectly well known that Biden was pressured and sho...

A British official threatened to extradite Americans whose free speech offended him. There is no conceivable way you can spin this. It's disgraceful. ...

Maureen Dowd, the queen of the liberal chattering class, sets you straight on this point. Her opinion column in tomorrow's Sunday New York Times on th...

Well if Islam seeks to become a universal religion, what happens to your nation when there are enough of them to make a political difference? It's no ...

He explicitly threatened non-Brits in their home countries. I am not confused about this, it has been extremely widely reported. "London’s Metropolita...
August 16, 2024 at 04:32
We shall see. My understanding is that over the long term, Islamists seek to take over the west. Maybe that's just right wing propaganda. I'll grant y...

You joking? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/columnists/2024/01/23/keir-starmer-take-knee-culture-wars-blm-rnli-national-trust/ Plus you know things have g...
August 13, 2024 at 04:57
IMO the Dems have been able to spin the defeat of the bill as the Republicans blocking immigration reform. I did read the details of the bill at the t...

I made a long list of Walz's leftist positions, from making Minnesota a sanctuary state for underage trans surgeries, to meeting five times with a Mus...

Pretty weird stuff ...

Sorry, must be quoting issues. Oh I get it. Wow that's a new one on me. The Wiki page on the subject is brief and unhelpful. How would a vector space ...

What's weird isn't that you think I watch FOX News. It's that you think ANYONE watches FOX News. That's not where alt-news comes from, hasn't been for...
August 09, 2024 at 05:27
That bill is a total fake. It's designed to codify the ongoing disaster but get Republicans to sign on to it. They wisely declined. And then Biden tur...
August 09, 2024 at 05:25
Sorry did I get my history wrong? Not sure what you meant. I was making the point that people find value in studying all kinds of stuff so why not mat...
August 08, 2024 at 07:47
Yeah I think I saw that somewhere. Guess the Dems will put that on a loop. So it goes. Brother, give it a rest. ps -- You are a lot like your profile ...
August 08, 2024 at 07:44
Whatever. That's a stupid talking point which you repeat endlessly.
August 08, 2024 at 07:43
I agree that he comes off as likable and folksy, that's the word that gets used a lot. I believe his leftism draws attention to the very leftism that ...

You didn't see the media and the Dems turn on a dime from fretting about Kamala to coronating her? Ok. People see what they see. Clyburn and the Congr...

I haven't got an inability to have a conversation. I have a disinterest in having this conversation. You are hung up on a word regarding an event that...

I haven't seen him speak, except for the short clip where he says that socialism is just neighborliness. Expect to see that in Trump ads. I do hear th...
August 08, 2024 at 07:27
Not disagreeing. Just saying that he wisely tacked toward the center, at least in rhetoric. Talking campaign tactics, not abortion policy. His VP pick...

Let me explain why she hurt herself with this pick. I am not making a partisan point. I'm just analyzing this as I would a sporting event that I don't...
August 07, 2024 at 04:29
This refers to a convo I was in a month ago. I no longer recall the exact point being discussed, nor what I may have said, nor whether I would still s...
August 07, 2024 at 03:58
Ok. You don't like formal math, as you envision it to be. You might be interested to know that there are other approaches to 20th century set theory, ...
August 07, 2024 at 03:41
I did no understand what you are referring to. I just meant the political threads over at the Lounge. I have been following this, it's really blowing ...
August 07, 2024 at 03:02
Seems like a trivial thing. If you search around you can find Democrats discussing whether this was the best process they could have done. Of course e...
August 07, 2024 at 02:26
I absolutely understand that you believe, deeply and powerfully and to the ends of the earth, that I am wrong. I acknowledge your right to feel this w...

The definition of a "far right" protest is anger at the stabbing death of three little girls as young as 6. Apparently if you're against stabbing litt...
August 05, 2024 at 03:26
Nobody is reading this. I'm sure you know about the riots in England over the subject of immigration, relative to that awful killing of three little g...

I try doing it over there but to no avail. May have to let it all go.
August 05, 2024 at 03:05
Evidently nobody can see this anyway. It's weird that the moderators did that without notifying anyone. Too bad. I can't buy an intelligent conversati...
August 05, 2024 at 03:05
But of course he did. You might as well argue the sun rises in the west. Which is exactly why I used the phrases "palace coup" and "intra-party coup."...
August 05, 2024 at 03:03
You are focussed on this one word, which really is not important in the scheme of things. Many interesting things are going on in this election and pe...

So have the mods actually hidden this thread? Without saying anything? Still, I'd rather move our chat back to here. I think of the private messages a...
