philip142au··on How can some infinities be bigger than others?

philip142au··on Pursuing status will never bring true happiness
Status and money is essential, people with high status make good money, and you need it just to get to retirement, money that is. I do not like X good think will not bring happiness, its a pattern of X where X = working hard, money, status, etc does not bring happiness. Its dangerous and bad to teach people to be anything other than selfish in a constructive way.

philip142au··on Category Theory Illustrated – Logic
propositions, firstly, tell me what a proposition is for the purpose of this document - this is a common problem with maths documents/books, I come across something which I don't understand. It says primary propositions, what is a primary proposition? Can you give an example?
philip142au··on Australia to acquire nuclear submarine fleet (AUKUS)
Correct. The Alligators, spiders, snakes and harsh environment with no good roads and a huge distance between there and any people doesn't make it an attractive place to land and then get bombed on by planes.

philip142au··on US Navy – Tic Tac UFO – High frequency gravitational wave generator
It’s rubbish, whatever propulsion method you have you still need to push the air out of the way to move the thing forwards which takes the same energy using imaginary gravitational waves or a jet engine. No magic is going to make the air get out of the way any faster
