@11112011 i bet they gonna push the positive aspects of living in pods real soon. "never feel alone again!", "meet dozens new, interesting and diverse people!" etc.

@ThatCrazyDude @CapitalB from my pov he at least is able to change his views according to the changes in data etc. - one could say he "trusts the science".

cut the man some slack, he was in the health industry racket his whole life. it's a wonder he is still able to form a sane thought.

he also never ranted against unvaccinated, only said that he would recommend it according to his knowledge. still got almost cancled for reasons like "not being a total retard".

@CapitalB it's clearly heat waves and cold showers and people having fun responsible for this!

@CapitalB europe the political construct

boy, europe seems to be unraveling quicker than i thought.

this is going to be interesting. will we be able to weasel our way out of the hole we dug ourselves into, again?

@pthenq1 the abstract looks kind of what i meant, yeah! thanks!

i wonder if it would be feasible to fork firefox at the point where they still used the old UI and extension but already have quantum engine parts. updating only the engine parts going on from there.

ff in that state really was peak browser for around half a year until the bullshit feature removals started.

@niclas
i'll take a look at aron ra.

my idea is to transfer the various sources into a logic representation, like "daughter of" etc. only with more complex structures represented. then compare these logical systems for similar relations. completely ignoring the textual representation of the source material.

imho, there is quite the risk of "tainting" things with modern interpretation and beliefs if you do analysis like this with the sources side by side. this is why i think representing things as logical system might be interesting. the source texts are often beautiful works of art, but that is also very capable of clouding the perception.

also, i'd venture that a computer might find patterns overlooked by humans. just don't use machine learning for the pattern search or you will end up with complete bullshit :P

maybe theres someone versed in history and linguistics here:

is anyone aware of research to reconstruct/validate mythology using neighboring mythologies by representing them as ontologies like "persephone is the daughter of zeus and demeter" and searching for similar logical patterns?

to give an example, the similarity of some of the norse gods and the roman and greek gods is accepted. i wonder if there might be other hidden similarities to be found by comparing those things systematically. the _concepts_ these mythological systems had might be much more old than either of those specific myths. i'd venture that at least for the larger language families there should be similarities and basic concepts to view the world. would be pretty interesting to search for those concepts, not only discovering them by accident.

i have the feeling this is a rather low hanging fruit aside the leg work of doing the transfer of the source texts into a logical system. this must already have been done by someone :)
