Thank you, this is very helpful!

Mead and Bateson's work in South East Asia was the basis for the title of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus[1].

I was curious and went through the footnotes of Anti-Oedipus and D&G say in Mead and Bateson's Balinese photographic survey that they describe a certain culture the mothers tease their sons when they are very young by pulling on their penises and then ignoring them, but I pulled the Mead and Bateson book out of the Brooklyn Public Library and could not for the life of me find evidence of what Deleuze and Guattari were talking about.

Why would you title your book based on a 30+ year old half-heard tale about a foreign culture?

I like Deleuze and Guattari, but the experience of trying to figure out the physical, material, biological, sociological source for the idea of 'Anti-Oedipus' itself left me disillusioned.

This is a well-reasoned reply, but the reason anti-Libra sentiment is high is not a huge mystery. You even alluded to the reason in your final paragraph. It's people who are suspicious of Facebook management's ulterior motives, that is to say conspiracy-type thinking.

The RFID technology that is widely deployed today was reaching wider adoption in the early 2000s and the AM radio conspiracy hosts I used to listen to for fun were spinning wild yarns about how RFID would be going underneath everyone's skin soon and everyone would be rounded up and put into camps.

I think there's a subterranean truth hidden in the ravings of madmen. It is a frightening prospect to empower further the people at the top who make the most impactful decisions in our society. RFID and Libra both make the global economy more efficient and that puts more power in the hands of our financial overlords. Now, it is also the case that financial overlords spend more time worried about themselves and their families than they do trying to control individual people's lives and make them worse.

So conspiracy theorists are wrong about the ultimate outcome of new technology, but I think their fears would be well served by distributing power as widely as practically possible. The principle of sharing power to put people's minds at ease is what you referred to in your second bullet point.

Screed is a word

"j" is a semi-vowel so you're both right!

This is great, thank you! I have read the preface of Munkres, I'm looking forward to going through his book. He's a great writer.

Understanding Lie groups and differential equations is my current life goal, but I only took math up to linear algebra and differential equations for scientists and engineers in undergrad.

This is very readable, thank you for sharing!

I think they do. If I found out someone loved those good things I would care about them more than if they thought good things were worthless.

Thank you for asking this question. I don't know a lot about databases, but I would have thought redis, as a major key-value store, would have been part of this evaluation. So your answers were helpful.

Are Beanie Babies similar to Magic the Gathering cards?

Fashion sneakers, Beanie Babies, and MtG cards all have had prices inflated above the price for comparable goods (regular sneakers, teddy bears, and regular playing cards), you can say that. Fashion sneakers and MtG cards have had longer runs in popularity than Beanie Babies had and sneakers have more intrinsic value to people than either MtG cards or Beanie Babies do, but they're all different.

You can say that they are all fads, but owning shares of a company, learning a particular programming language, or picking a university to apply to are all subject to waves of popularity that can obscure their value for people as well.

The question seems disingenuous.

We have the Internet. If the parent commenter thought a more digestible summary or paraphrase of "the absolute of all conditionals" would have been helpful, they would have written it that way.

If you're frustrated that it's opaque, and you care about understand the chance to do so is as near as googling "Kant absolute of all conditionals".

If you don't care about understanding, why complain?

You do not have to seek external capital. If your business fails you are not blacklisted from industry.
