KS: AOC: That's awfully ambitious -- trying to end Gilded Age II.

Then about the TikTok ban, something she voted against, despite it passing the House 360-58. Then about MTG vs. Jasmine Crockett's eyelashes. AOC objected, MTG asked "Are your feelings hurt?" and AOC called MTG a "baby girl". She then said that she was reminded of her first term, when a lot of...

Then about social media and some of its founders, and how she said to a very rich person that he will either have to do something about income and equality or else he will have to armorplate his Tesla. Then on Elon Musk claiming such things as how President Biden wants to import voters, a...

On with Kara Swisher: AOC on Trump vs. Biden, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tech, Gaza & More on Apple Podcasts Thus making our era the Second Gilded Age, much like the one in the late 19th cy. What to do about them? Good perspective.

She was noting that the DSA seemed to agree with her on lots of issues. No, because MCC seemed to be running on imitating AOC's ethnic and gender identity. AOC didn't seem nearly as bothered by Badrun Khan, as far as I could tell. BK was also running, but she didn't have that kind of support...

Define "socialism". I also note that to most self-described socialists, socialism != "Magic Money Tree" There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in groves of birch trees.

Austronesian, like Indo-European, dates back to the mid-Holocene. It's hard to look much further with historical linguistics, but statistical techniques offer at least a chance at doing so, especially with Swadesh and Swadesh-like lists like the Dolgopolsky one. Austro-Tai Revisited by Weera...

I think that a problem in Thor Heyerdahl's day was getting good dates for archeological sites. Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940's, and became widely used in the 1950's. That likely settled a lot of long-running controversies about dating of many sites. Language Phylogenies...

Gelfond–Schneider theorem If a and b are complex algebraic numbers with a not 0 or 1 and with b irrational, then every value of a^b is a transcendental number. Alternately, for a and b nonzero algebraic, log(a)/log(b) is either rational or transcendental. A related result is from the...

...set {1, e^a} is linearly independent over the algebraic numbers, meaning that e^a is transcendental. Proof that pi is transcendental. It uses e^(pi*i) +1 = 0. That would not be possible if pi*i is algebraic, thus pi*i is transcendental. Since i is algebraic, pi is transcendental. Likewise...

Proof that e is irrational and Euler's Number is Irrational - ProofWiki It is also possible to prove that for all nonzero rational numbers a, e^a is irrational, and that e does not satisfy any second-degree or third-degree rational-number-coefficient polynomial. Martin Aigner, Günter M...

...n and N, N^(1/n) is irrational if it is not an integer. As a preliminary, if N has a prime factor p with power m > n, then it has factor p^(k*n) * p^(m-k*n) where k is a positive integer and m-k*n is >= 0 and < n. (p^(k*n))^(1/n) = p^k, obviously a rational number, so it suffices to consider...

...(Long-side length)^2 = (short-side-1 length)^2 + (short-side-2 length)^2 When the two short sides have equal length, the long side has sqrt(2) * that length. Square root of 2 and Square Root of 2 is Irrational - ProofWiki and Square Root of Prime is Irrational - ProofWiki Every integer...

What did all these socialists do? Mostly a lot of social democracy. It was the more dogmatic and ideological sort of socialists who used "sewer socialist" as an insult for being pragmatic and reformist. It didn't go far, but twenty years later, FDR got Congress to enact Social Security, which...

TALKING SOCIALISM | Catching up with AOC - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) - March 19, 2021 "What initially drew me to DSA was the fact that they showed up everywhere that I showed up." She talked about activism and organizing, and how she earlier didn't think that being elected would...

Because it's Hezbollah? That's not a good argument.

Oops, Malagasy has maso instead of mata for eye. The Austronesian family and its Malayo-Polynesian subfamily have been recognized for well over a century. I'll do the Dolgopolsky list. First, to illustrate the concept: English, German, Latin, and Russian: I/me - ich/mich - egô/me - ja/menja...
