@augustus Thats pretty close to how Huxley describes in the the doors of perception, except he also described a sense of spiritual understanding. Like he could understand many of the strange and paradoxical things spiritualist had said, since he suddenly had the correct first hand experience.

"Maybe if we respected the domestic jobs more, made them valuable (well paid)?"

I would go more radical than this, we need a change in the way that we view what is valuable to us and to society as a whole. This is the result of valuing income and the economy above everything else. I don't think you can escape this through paying better.

@freemo @math Funny enough, I don’t think this is true for hyper real infinitesimals. Certainly any finite sum of infinite reseals is infinitesimal, but I think a infinite sum of a single infinitesimal would have to jump straight to “hyper infinity,” the upper limit was n the corresponding compactification.

Stallman on Onlyfans " *The real OnlyFans scandal is the unaccountable power of platforms and banks.*

What gives them this power is (1) making users run nonfree software and (2) being able to set their terms and conditions arbitrarily within a very broad range.

The nonfree software enables them to collect data secretly. We need to require that all client software be free, so users can have control over what it does. In particular, so they can fix it not to spy on them, regardless of what the platform owners wish."

@btcprox The lawyers would make it illegal to protect their jobs

@augustus i only know paretonfor being one of the first people to claim that economics where determined by physical laws that enforce inequality. Doesn't seem like an idea that would be useful for anything other than passive conservative ideology.

the best part of c++ is that you can write c in it

@jeffcliff @chuculate if what you meant was k(x) is a real valued function then the point wise equality implies equality if functions. So I'm not sure what you're asking.
