physics often looks messy to mathematicians; chains of assumptions used to simplify the behaviour under investigation

to make intelligent assumptions is enough however, the idea is to build a model good enough to make qualitative predictions

physicists, when all is said and done, are pragmatic.

it was looking edgy for a while there

and yet Friday it is

for a while a while back i was considering anonymously making a super pro israel fedi instance and then just loudly defedding and deactivating users and servers for making anti-israel sentiments. not because i'm pro israel but just because it would make literally almost everyone on here go batshit insane and it would have been funny

I used to think that talks of Sandy Hook being fake were bullshit, but it seems, someone seriously doesn't want you to believe it enough to push a 4.1 million dollar fine for that opinion.

@dave @neglesaks @skells Not in it's current paradigm. There are many lessons from modernity we haven't studied yet.

@admin @dave @neglesaks Zizek and Taleb are the only people who come to mind

This was really just a Japan thing as I recall, because there was a "gentleman's agreement" between manufacturers not to advertise their cars having more than 276 horsepower to avoid horsepower wars.

But in practice they were all cheating a bit, lol. The Toyota Supra (4th Gen, the one from the OG Fast and Furious) was the most egregious example, with a turbocharged V6 and a 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, still somehow 276 horsepower, lol.
