Might be easier to make a white list.

As a "mathematician"... Yeah this is phony AF. Typical "AI" bullshit.

The field of application of Grothendieck’s toposes goes beyond the strictly mathematical framework. It makes it possible to connect literary works, which seem at first glance to have nothing in common, as evidenced by the connection between Homer’s The Iliad, Kurāʿ’s al-Muntakhab and Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot. This connection could in turn enrich research on topos, if it is taken seriously as an archeology [20], which invites to deepen the knowledge of things beyond binary oppositions to explore how things are formed

lmao. fraud. Foucault is cool and all, but dude was not writing about categories and sheaves. Not even close.

With Poincaré, we discover that building a bridge between things –a topos– can arise from an intuition

lol no. They can't just call anything a "topos". That's not how math works. This paper is entertaining but that's about it.

They made sure that you were teaching your classes, maintaining the reputation of the school, causing no problems for the admins, and serving your function within capitalism, right? That's what really matters.

They literally told me this when I was visiting grad schools. I didn't go to that school.

This stuff is sciencey, not science.

Never liked breakfast. Always made me sick. I'll stick with my pot of coffee and noon banana... (hands shaking, stomach churning)

No you don't have to believe whatever you hear. You can be critical instead. You can also accept the results of science up to the boundaries of the results presented. Etc. There's absolutely no need for faith.

yes I must believe what the collective scientific community asserts... It should also be noted that there are people out there that treat science as a religion

they are putting their faith into the scientists performing the science.

This anti-science ideology is usually called scientism.

You were doing good until the very end...

Knowledge and fact are the realm of science.

No this is wrong too. Evidence and probability are the realm of science.

Science means knowing better than trusting reports that affirm preconceived notions.

Keep going.... Sine waves are not an investment thing. They're a math thing that can be usefully applied to some things (eg. physics) or poorly applied to almost anything (eg. finance/econ).
