- Comment on Infinite Hotel Paradox 3 days ago:
The joke comes from the infinite hotel paradox, which is from a property of infinities that you can always add to them and they’re still infinity. This leads to a paradox where if you have an infinite hotel room with no vacancies, every single room in the infinity is full, as a given. But if everybody moved over one room, there would be an empty room in position 1.
The punchline is that in real life if you asked every guest to move over 1, they wouldn’t want to, and some would be big babies for some reason.

But also if someone is fishing for reassurance and keep getting it, they’ll keep doing it.
If someone really is being unreasonable and is fishing for reassurance, the responsible thing is to tell them nicely what you really think.

It was Stalin who systematically made the famine worse in Ukraine to break them. I learned about it in High School history class.

Genocide is a controversial term.
Even today, people contest the Armenian genocide, and Ukrainian genocide (holodomir). Even the Holocaust.

- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 2 months ago:
31 mph is not too bad, but at higher speeds you start facing safety risks and instabilities of different kinds besides just falling over. Going downhill very fast on a road bike is not a super stable configuration. You can slip on turns, lose control on bumps, hit something you didn’t have reaction time for, etc.
I think planes have this too where they’re safer at higher altitudes, except not too high beyond what they’re rated for and have other instabilities from that

Dude… I’ve gone pretty fast down some hills. It feels way safer to be going real slow and fall over than going 50 mph downhill on a road bike in a nice straight line.

Really interesting your solution is exactly how I was taught Shakespeare and Beowulf in 10th grade. We read beofulf in the bilingual version, and then read Grendel, a modern retelling (which was hella trippy). We read Hamlet with all the commentary to understand the early English, and then had assignments to “translate” it to modern usage. We watched the Romeo + Juliet with the guns. We watched 10 things I hate about you.
For me there was something valuable about working to understand this person from across the gulf of centuries, and realize that what he was writing about wasn’t so different than what we experienced. Hamlet’s ambivalence. Romeo’s horniness. John Donne’s sexy mindfucks… What were we talking about again ?
