To be fair, this research comes from a limited number of patients and is from the 1950s and 60s, a time not exactly known for its accurate assumptions in the field of neuroscience, lol.

It’s an extremely common aspect of human psychology to make up a story to explain the results of an event or reasoning for your actions after the fact.

It’s even been demonstrated in specific cases in studies of people who’ve received brain hemisphere bifurcation to prevent grand mal seizures.

The side of the brain responsible for speech is not shown information or things the individual must complete, then when asked why they performed such an action, the speech responsible side of the brain will spontaneously make up a resonable sounding story to explain it.

I highly recommend checking it out. It’s an absolutely fascinating look into human psychology

I’m sure I do this same thing all the time subconsiously, and I’ve certainly noticed it in others.

And should things turn around and the overwhelming consensus somehow turns against Trump (seems highly unlikely currently), people will just lie about having supported him.

Which do you choose: genocide or WORSE genocide? You have to pick one. Not picking either gets you the latter by default. Make a choice.

I think it’s fitting. He himself would be physically fine whilst everything collapses around him when the floor drops out.

Eh, he might be a cis het white Christian who hates what’s going on?

Maybe google “2020 election count” and get back.

Regardless, me? Wtf do I have to do with anything, I wasn’t running. Hell, I’m not even registered Democrat.

Capitalism.

No country would be insane enough to embargo the single greatest economic power on Earth.

Sure, it makes for a great lens. You can use it to read the writing on the wall.

Do you mean the ones beholden to Trump, or are we talking about different Supreme Courts?

It’s Mozilla. No one is going to see this anyway.

I hear what you’re saying, and you’re 100% correct, but I think most people will realize it’s a figure of speech, and easier to say than “Via the process of gene mutation trial and error over many, many generations of tigers, spots have developed on their ears that look like eyes, resulting in predation from behind being discourged.”

The supreme court disagrees

Fair enough, I suppose it is interesting!

In terms of the question, “Are there more infinite sequences that contain Hamlet or more that don’t?”- in the context of true randomness and truly infinite sequence, this feels like almost a trick question. Almost every truly random infinite sequence will contain Hamlet an infinite number of times, along with every other possible finite sequence (e.g., Moby Dick, War and Peace, you name it). In fact, the probability of a random infinite sequence not containing Hamlet is effectively zero.

Where it becomes truly interesting is if you have an infinite number of infinite sequences. Now you’d certainly get instances of those “effectively zero” cases, but only in ratios within infinity itself, haha. I guess that’s probably what you were getting at?

I could have worded that better. Any probability with a non-zero chance of occurring will occur an infinite number of times given an infinite sequence.

To address the comment you linked, I understand what you’re saying, but you’re putting a lot of emphasis on something that might as well be impossible. In an infinite sequence of coin flips, the probability of any specific outcome - like all heads - is exactly zero. This doesn’t mean it’s strictly impossible in a logical sense; rather, in the language of probability, it’s so improbable that it effectively “never happens” within the probability space we’re working with. Theoretically, sure, you’re correct, but realistically speaking, it’s statistically irrelevant.

Infinite monkeys. Any probability greater than zero times infinity is infinity. You will see an infinite number of monkeys hitting A and an infinite number hitting B. If there were a finite number of monkeys, you would be correct, but that is not the case.

Hey now, I’ve been to the post office…within the last two years or so.

That’s Butte and Yolo for me.
