to add a more narrowed-down starting point, i recommend everyone to look into epistemology. much of this follows from there

not sure how common a view this is but personally i find being well versed in art/literary/architectural history is a sign of a very well read person. knowledge in these areas usually comes hand in hand with trivia knowledge as well.

this is correct but i think op is asking the wrong question.

at least from a mathematical perspective, the claim that pi contains any finite string is only a half-baked version of the conjecture with that implication. the property tied to this is the normality of pi which is actually about whether the digits present in pi are uniformly distributed or not.

from this angle, the given example only shows that a base 2 string contains no digits greater than 1 but the question of whether the 1s and 0s present are uniformly distributed remains unanswered. if they are uniformly distributed (which is unknown) the implication does follow that every possible finite string containing only 1s and 0s is contained within, even if interpreted as a base 10 string while still base 2. base 3 pi would similarly contain every possible finite string containing only the digits 0-2, even when interpreted in base 10 etc. if it is true in any one base it is true in all bases for their corresponding digits

speaking and typing are not comparable whatsoever

bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol

society has become so used to girls and women being considered less that there is a scary amount of rationalization as to why its fine actually to completely annihilate all remaining bodily autonomy they have left. this is an explosion in suicides of young girls and adult women alike begging to happen. wake the fuck up.

also as a swedish person i think by far the most notable aspect is how level the playing field is when it comes to respect, primarily in schools and the like but even in other spaces.

its the norm that students and teachers are on first name basis and honorifics are almost never used anywhere. the plural 2nd person pronoun “ni” has largely fallen out of use in its other meaning as a singular 2nd person formal pronoun, being replaced with its informal counterpart “du” most of the time.

students and employees alike can freely and commonly do criticize and talk back to teachers and employers/bosses if theres a genuinely valid reason to do so and the general dynamic between different social positions is so relaxed to the point of it being fascinating. i think meeting the literal king of the country would for many people not warrant that big a change in behaviour other than obviously just being particularly nice.

as a result of this i think people have an easier time seeing each other as people rather than just as cogs of society, and being a person who struggles a lot with reading social cues its an enormous relief to so far in my professional life never had to worry a single time whether i should refer to someone as mr. or ms. or if i should be speaking in a particular register

Interesting hypothesis! It’s indeed likely this could be the case, it’s just unfortunate only one variant of Ainu remains and that it’s in quite a precarious position, but it’s fun to see different paths of how words picked up their meanings either way.

Late because I only discovered it first now but this is quite interesting. When I first read this post my initial thought was also to investigate Basque and other language isolates, but by coincidence I just happened to stumble upon the Ainu (language isolate (according to popular consensus from what i can gather anyways) that’s native to Hokkaido and parts of the easternmost islands of Russia) word for The Earth while looking through wiktionary: aynumosir (アィヌモシㇼ) which roughly means “the land of the humans.” Compared to the Nahuatl example it also seems that the word for “land” (mosir (モシㇼ)) does not have much to do with the word for dirt/soil on its own and seems to more explicitly refer to land as in territory/country, meanwhile the word for dirt/soil would be “toy” (トィ). As far as I know this would be the word for The Earth that is the furthest removed from having with earth/soil to do. Additional fun fact is that the Ainu word for the equivalent of heaven is “kamuymosir” (カムイモシㇼ ) which roughly means “divine territory/country.”

my go to for remembering which one to use is translating the sentence to english and if “the” or “they” is correct use “de” and if “them” is correct use “dem” (remember by thinking dem = them)
