Panel 1: But Libertad¹, you’re hanging it upside down.
Panel 2: Upside down in relation to what? Earth is in space, and space has neither up nor down.
Panel 3: Saying the northern hemisphere is up is a psychological trick from those at the top, so that those who believe we are below continue to believe we are at the bottom. And the worst part is that if we keep believing we’re below, we’ll continue to be. But starting today, that’s over!
Panel 4, top: Where were you, Mafalda?
Panel 4, bottom: I don’t know, but something just came to an end.
The point of most ads isn't to get you to buy things. Most ads just want you to think of the product and be aware it exists. Their objective is to slowly hijack your brain.
If you know what "it gives you wings" or "the happiest place on earth" means, the ads already worked.
Ads are trying to combat obscurity. A brand with bad reputation is far better than a brand nobody's ever heard of.
> It's not disproven as nonsense, the paper appears to make sense
Not obviously utter nonsense, but a couple of mathematicians who have studied it have claimed to have found gaps and were unsatisfied with the resolution to those gaps that Mochizuki offered.
It's kind of like, well, LLM output. Has the right shape but upon scrutiny it seems to fall apart. Plausible-looking but probably nonsense.
SR breaks down at both ends of the spectrum, at the event horizon of black holes and in Bose Einstein condensates. That proves that it is an emergent property of observations, statistical behavior of decoherent systems, and not a universal law.
Well, the real issues won't be on the open source version. They've more or less confirmed on their slack that the open source version is in maintenance-only mode:
The hell, respect the old culture? They couldn't completely stamp it out, more like it, but there was no respect there. Some native culture survived despite the Spaniards' attempts, but there was no respect whatsoever. The closest thing to "respect" was stuff like Bartomolé de las Casas thinking that it was cruel to enslave the natives because they weren't strong enough, so it would be better to bring Africans to America and enslave them instead (which he later also regretted, but the damage was done).
I don't even know where could you have possibly gotten the idea that the Spaniards were respectful. Were you told the Leyenda Rosa in school?
