Mar 4, 2020, 3:01 PM (ok. so this made my day) —“There is such a great benefit to mastering even a small aspect of P in personal life. I am still trying to figure a lot of it out, but whatever I do has served me a lot personally far more than my useless university…

Mar 4, 2020, 4:05 PM by Andrew M Gilmour Categorically speaking, logic, numbers and geometry are universal abstracts. It’s not a new insight. They just stopped teaching it nearly a hundred years ago.

Mar 5, 2020, 5:28 PM —“I meant civilized in the sense that they can adopt P there. In fact you can’t, the lie about the state of their economy, and pretty much everything they make is not fully warrantied.”– Um. P is possible as long as you tell the truth. The Chinese people say all…

Mar 5, 2020, 9:40 PM by Frank Roman (2103) Communism is governance usurping the House of Religion; Islam is religion usurping the Halls of Governance.
