this rings true
the reason people bought into qanon is it helped with the cognitive dissonance that they themselves were a sex pest by focusing on real and imaginary bigger sex pests
it’s kind of wild that the central thesis of QAnon, that there is a group of high-ranking people in business, government, etc. that all are also pedophiles, is, well.

this is honorable and good. partisan politics will make you think otherwise, but it is good to pursue good, to advocate for it, to endorse it, etc., even in bad faith or hypocritically. good is good.
No no no, did he pre-cope in private? Not fair, we deserve at least 4 paragraphs where the feelings shine through

another attempt to get at "division of vectors" from a different direction but again in a logical and elementary order. It's quite tidy to write a scalar projection of vectors as b/a, and this is consistent with df/dx, actually... I think.

I didn't really succeed but it might be nice as a reference, if it's correct

trying to derive linear algebra in a logical order without ever flipping into "undergraduate" math-education mode. It demands we define division, and we can, kind of.

More on reaction networks, still following Baez. Noether's theorem is trivial in this context: factoring a space with an operator defines coordinates on the space; orbits which are conserved the operator conserve this coordinates, yes of course.

some of Baez' Reaction Networks theory in my own words and notation. I found this stuff extremely compelling as I was drifting away from grad school, as a prototype of about half of quantum mechanics + an interesting zoo of dynamical systems

Stray thought: "mental illness" has the wrong connotation. An illness suggests you wait for it to pass; it happens to you.
"Mental injury" is better. An injury suggests you do *certain* things, and, to learn not to hurt yourself (if you are responsible) or to keep yourself safe (if not)
