I’m 100% sure that not even Denmark will leave NATO.

You have exactly 10 seconds to get into a pit.

The United States is the world order. This is the rules-based order in action - the only rule is “obey the US”.

This fungus was accidentally brought to America with the Japanese chestnut (which has some resistance) and almost completely ate the American chestnut (which has none).

Green parties are supporting the greenest things - dollars and military.

I want to know exactly how much sins you have to commit to be reborn as a cute cat.

Should have left those names, but etch a little swastika next to every Nazi.

Because you can only vote for servants of the bourgeoisie.

There are some highly toxic species of mold, although they are much rarer than ordinary mold.

Dollar is incredibly strong, because it is a global reserve currency. If you look at purchasing power, the difference in incomes between UK and USA would be much lower.

Is this Axlotl tanks from Dune?

Labour has competent leadership, whose goal is to serve the rich, and they are very efficient at it.

Kind Vladimir Ilyich would have shot the political leadership of every post-Soviet country.

TBH, my math professor called it Sylvester’s theorem. I didn’t see “Chicken McNugget theorem” name until I searched for it on the internet in English.

This means that you could write a syntactically valid statement which cannot be proven from the axioms of that system even if you were to add more axioms.

You can actually add the statement itself as an axiom. The point of the theorem is that no finite number of additional axioms will completely eliminate all unprovable true statements from the theory.

Also, it relies on consistency of the formal system, because inconsistent system can prove anything. In fact, you can prove consistency of a formal system if and only if it is inconsistent.

Information-theoretic incompleteness is new to me, but seems to be similar to Gödel’s theorem but with a focus on computation saying that if you have a complex enough system there are functions that won’t be recursively definable. As in you can’t just break it down into smaller parts that can be computed and work upwards to it.

In fact, any function, growing fast enough, will be non-recursive. And the same applies to various similar definitions, resulting in fast-growing hierarchy.

All in all this means that no algorithmic theory could actually describe everything. This means you cannot break all of physics down into a finite set of rules that can be used to compute reality. Ergo, we can’t be in a simulation because there are physical phenomena that exist which are impossible to compute.

It should be noted that it doesn’t rule out analog simulations.

If the Soviet Union is divisible, Ukraine also is.

“I played Russian roulette and my brains didn’t get splattered all over the room. Revolvers are harmless, really.”

American parties play “good cop and bad cop” routine. They are not the same, but they work together to the same ends.
