i wonder how many instances there have been of multiple people playing the exact same game of chess, making the exact same moves
there are clearly some, since there are things like the fool's mate that's over really quickly and consist of abusing knowledge of the tactics new players learn

Thinking about cyborg and synthetic character designs got me wondering how I'd feel about a synthetic body compared to a biological one.
Some character ideas fell out of that, so I spent a few hours sketching some of them.
mathematics, death (historical)
what is it with famous, amazing mathematicians and dying way too young
think where the field of mathematics could be right now if Srinivasa Ramanujan had lived to be even just 60 (he died at 32)
or if Évariste Galois hadn't died in a duel at the age of 19

David Graeber "On the Invention of Money", anthropology
"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.
What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”
Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"

it seems like our new headmate is pretty solidly here now... still doesn't have a name or much of an idea of their gender or anything but i think they're planning on holding off on that until after the move (which I appreciate, the move is a lot to deal with)
Rose is with them in back right now, not sure what they're doing, maybe zhe's just being a comforting presence? that is a thing zhe does a lot after all. Love you, Rose. 💚

going to be starting the moving process tomorrow.... stressssss

their "volume" as a fraction of that of the hypercube gets smaller and smaller to the point that in 24 dimensions, the best possible way to pack hyperspheres together (which was proven to be the best possible in 2017) fills only 0.19% of space with hyperspheres and all the rest is empty
-F
higher dimensional spheres are so weird to think about
