too long didn't understand

tl;du

Try reading SCOTUS decisions and the related motions, briefs, etc, plus underlying legal and societal research materials. Anything under a quarter million pages is terse in that regard.

Good entry point, is Christopher M. Fairman's book "Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties". Too bad he died young, albeit as a Dean at one of the largest law schools in the country, and after getting out that book as a follow up to what was never intended as a law journal test, of how badly the vast majority of law students and journal editors are incompetent bigots.

^^^^^ That's the Chinese curse of our information age and its quality content, assuming one boycotts trash dumps like Facebook and worse.

Gen-Z'ers seem to be overly avoidance-driven ADHD cases with solipsist tendencies, while being a bit older and connected to my parents and uncle's or before idea of trying to grasp a comprehensive range of knowledge, decreasingly find that even close to possible.

How are humans and society going to adapt to deal with that paradox?

It used to be those whose -g- made MENSA look like a low IQ social group were in a different class than most humans, as to broad processing capacity. Now, that seems gone, with all humans in the same boat of nowhere near close to keeping up, just most far moreso than others.

I forget exactly how he framed it, but in some video a while back, Pangburn's depiction of Sam Harris's thought models integration vs Jordan P's "throwing out pickles" (iirc) seemed spot on for a different form of cosmology understanding, even across deep thinkers.

Is anyone here into math riddles?

Ya ya

@BobbyMack math and physics riddle s are awesome

🔥

I have a really good one, requires knowledge of algebra

Ok i will watch some algebra videos

Then think about it

There is a square town of unknown dimensions. There is a gate in the middle of each side. Twenty paces outside the North Gate is a tree. If one leaves the town by the South Gate, walks 14 paces due south, then walks due west for 1775 paces, the tree will just come into view. What are the dimensions of the town?

this problem is apparently from ancient China

I could just walk along one side of the square town and tell ya, why do all this crap? 😂

I’m certain it would be less than 1789 paces to do so.
