@Plinz A systematic search for truth where only those with sufficient money can access its benefits? That noble pursuit?

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@PrimeDudley @femleonardcohen @DARVOFACTORY Maybe but idk if I’d frame it as contemplation

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@MattZirwas @DKThomp @Noahpinion Furthering ideas. Testing what we really know. Depending on how these LLMs resolve certain questions avenues of thought and innovation could actually be precluded. I’d encourage you to actually listen to what mathematicians are saying as opposed to shooting from general concepts

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@MattZirwas @DKThomp @Noahpinion But that’s not how math research works. It’s not really a question of whether knowing the proof of a hard problem is a benefit to humanity. This is a category error. Why are big conjectures big? They aren’t naturally occurring. They’re big bc they’re testing grounds for further

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@JamesWill932 @thecoolcuber @peterottsjo Why would a mathematicians ego be hurt by “solving” fusion? Most pure math is done in spite of physical application. Why do you feel the need to talk about the (morality!) of a process/results you nothing of?

@die_rizzen @Linus200712345 I don’t think this is Marx’s point…Rosa Luxembourg’s analysis of Vol 2 seems pretty good, namely that in his theoretical set up capital can just accumulate forever. (If doomed why organize?) the T in TRFP is tendency not law but I get your point

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@schw_Illuminata @playitsami @i_zzzzzz No if you read closer it remained in subsequent generations

@llallawg @ryan_t_lowe @confusionm8trix Id be interested in learning more about this! from my thin understanding (take Harris’ mathematics without apologies) is that mathematician’s view of their own subject is rarely consulted in re “philosophy of the subject”. O/W Im interested in about social aspects of my area

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@llallawg @ryan_t_lowe @confusionm8trix Terrible dig at math! Every civilization has been engaged by it. It’s as human as writing in that regard

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@alivingmountain @McCarthyist2 I don’t think it’s that unreliable? Wilson in her introduction mentions the stability as compared to other Grecian myths

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@FulfillVatican2 @caitoz No. The Germans only became “self loathing” (extremely doubt it being genuine) because the Soviets made them never forget. Just look at how America handled Japan with kid gloves. Do they seem very remorseful of their atrocities?

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@splitmaude @contentlyshane And will then fight to prevent pigeon ford from unionizing. You’re contributing to the very thing your criticizing: the idolization of a rich person who’s material interests are categorically orthogonal to that of the working class

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@After__History It’s called Maoist China but I’m sure they hate just as much.

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@zulways Also this is basically the rate I have for on student loans (like 12-15%) from government institutions so I’m also saddled with the “exact” situation they had on top of everything else

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@GavinSauer @chillywillers They had to grow their own food on “their own time” after back breaking labour in the fields. They weren’t just handed food.

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@comohology @AcerFur @mathandcobb Yes…serre has a very good talk about it that I watch like once a year despite it being very far from my field.

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@MLorenzoFS @barfieldgussy Holocaust was used in the 1920s to describe the Armenian genocide. Is that antisemitism?

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@amaldorai @CSandbatch Yeah but only number theorists would probably have read Wiles proof of the modularity theorem. So your analogy supports English BA potentially not reading Dostoyevsky

[Ryan Contreras @RhinoC24]

@AlistairMorley @_CLancellotti @kareem_carr Cauchy didn’t establish calculus via infinitesimals so what are you commenting on? Are you guilty of any arrogance here?
