No, you must have the courage of your convictions. Leave your hot takes up, even if they are trash and embarrass you later. We must all learn.

Good story. I've bookmarked that one.

Yes. A lost of people didn't vote in the US elections last year. The ones who don't live there make up the largest contingent. They're unlikely to blame themselves.

Well who wants constraints anyway? The most inconvenient constraints in the wrong place can make certain things much more complicated to deal with... Now a nice, sensible normal Hilbert space, isn't that lovely?

Actually wait this is glib as fuck and probably wrong, I retract it. You could have the capability to understand, given specific allocation of resources but only do it rarely, without violating any information theory fundamentals

I just think complex vector spaces are a great place to stop your abstraction

But then you just have the same paradox writ large. Maybe we, as a collective, can entertain understanding of a single mind - but the generalisation of us as 'the mind' rather than 'a mind' includes all of us, and must therefore be left wanting

Fair. Braid is, in some ways, the video game i consider most worthy of the status of 'art' so I couldn't not say it, although it's certainly not like LotR in that respect. OoT OTOH, feels like it fully fits

Braid and Ocarina of Time are the two that come to my mind...

You can, they map, but complex numbers are much much easier to deal with

Yeah but aren't quaternions basically just a weird subgroup of 2x2 complex matrices?
