As a writer of sci-fi myself, people tend to think something's "Not Realistic" when in fact it follows the proverb, "A bit dog howls."
Unfortunately, this is happening in real time, and the internet is the cause of it. Too many simplistic conversations, and while I don't believe it's caused by ill breeding, what it is caused by is information overload, and moving people from topic to topic.
Just for reference, in the past 3 months, there was an assassination on a CEO which was forgotten instantly, then a Black Hawk Helicopter that crashed into an Air Liner, and then a near disastrous episode where the president of Ukraine and Trump had a violent disagreement on Live TV.
So, just for reference, I think the movie has some extremely prescient thoughts regarding reality, and at the time it was released, in 2005 these problems were nascent, and you have to see the issue through Mike Judge's eyes, that it was spurred on by two people fighting at Disney, with strollers nearby. You have to see the tyranny of the Corporations threatening it with lawsuits for criticizing them... Which should never happen in a free country, as if you can't criticize power--including corporations--you have a real problem on your hand.
The show and all the controversy surrounding it, shows the lead up to what is happening right now. In stark nakedness.

A Really Interesting Logic Puzzle to Show How Quadratic Functions Have Two Answers
There's like a really interesting logic puzzle that proves this. I see it on Quora all the time. But, it's +- because when you multiply the same number together, you can turn out different answers if it's either negative or positive, when you have sums involved. And that +- also comes from the two dimensions of a square. You get a 0 integer in cubes, which relates to the augmentation of i. So 0, +- are three separate dimensions.
Something like
x - y = 6
y*y= 16
x + y = ?
The x can be different numbers. If y is -4 then x is 2, and if y is + 4 x is 10. That represents the quadratic expression. So the third equation can be either -2 or 14.
[Also] a cube will always retain its positive or negative signs. 8^3 can't be both -8 and +8, it'll always keep its negativity or positivity. But the two can cancel out in the quadratic function, and leave you with a quadratic and leave you also with a third dimension zero expression. That's how Cubic Equations work. That's why. [This is] something I learned in grade school. [W]hat's infinite about a cubed number? And that's also why i doesn't exist in cubic numbers, but it does again in quartic. Omega shouldn't even be involved with it.

Why Does the Fisherman Mend Their Nets During the Storm?
Well, someone’s got to fish, right? So we have fish on plates. And those fishermen need nets, and they need tackle, and they need boats. So, when it’s stormy out, they can’t fish, but their nets, if in disrepair, won’t catch the fish even if it’s sunny. So, instead of being idle, and letting their property go into disrepair, they spend the time mending their nets, and boats and being prepared for when they can go fishing. As time is the most crucial part of economics, and how you use it is the catalyst to success or failure.
Mary Had a Little Lamb Analysis
While, it's not explicitly about Jesus, but certainly, Jesus probably inspired it. I don't think it's really about Jesus, though. It's kind of a bad literary criticism to intuit messages into a poem that aren't there, but I'd say the poem likely was inspired by Jesus. That's definitely a wholesome thought.
But don't be esoteric. One has to tone down esoteric readings, because then you probably do the same thing with the Bible. Surely, when Jesus was a child, He followed Mary around, and probably stuck by her. As it says "And everything the child did, brought joy to Mary's heart." But, you can't get too deep into it. When you do, and seek hidden symbols or messages, that's esotericism, and not generally something one wants to do in any form of interpretation.
Certainly though, that tension of the Biblical Imagery is there, as it was written in a time when Biblical Motifs were often alluded to. But, it's an allusion, because the lamb is literally a lamb. But, then it could be referring to Jesus in the sense that He's like the lamb, being so innocent. That we love Jesus, like Mary loves her lamb, yet the lamb was a sacrificial animal.
It's interesting, because I was thinking about this a while ago, too, as I was driving. This exact thought, the beautiful motifs of Jesus being Mary's lamb hit me, and elevated the poem. But, when one does analysis on anything, don't put meaning into it that doesn't follow. It'll thoroughly elevate one's reading experience.
I mean, we kind of carry our little lamb around, too, and it shocks people at our schools and our work and everywhere we go. But that's drawing an interpolation from the poem, which you're allowed to do. But that's personal, and not really what the poem means.
On Infinities
{}[A] line, or plane are infinite[: b]ecause a line represents an equation, that incorporates all numbers within it. So, X=Y is a line, that comprises all numbers in existence. Or x^2 is all the parabola that represents all the functions of x^2. So, a plane would be an infinite shape, taking up one infinitesimal part of a x/y/z graph, but incorporating all numbers within that two dimensional space, either in the i, negative or positive. So, it has to be bigger than a line. It must. Therefore, some infinities are larger than others. {}
157
Why does a 157IQ have to change the world? Couldn’t they just do their work, and be happy? Like, write poetry, or find easy ways to explain basic math concepts?
The world doesn’t need changed. And when we tried to change it, it didn’t get any better.
On a Square with Side Lengths and Area = to 1
Way over my head. I'm just not very good at doing math. Basically, I just did a system of equation, and got this answer "y^2-1/2y+1=0". Not sure if that's a solution.
2x+2y=x*y
And then 2x+2y=1
And then
x=1/2-y
And then 2(1/2-y) + 2y =(1/2-y)*y
And then 1-2y+2y = 1/2y-y^2
And then 1=1/2y-y^2
And then -y^2 +1/2y-1=0
And then y^2-1/2y+1=0
Someone explain to me what I did wrong, if anything.
But it's not possible because it's an imaginary number or negative. You'd have to work in other dimensions to make a square like that, or work in negatives, so nothing in physical space can accomplish that.
A Response to Carl Sagan on American Stupidity
People in the fifties hated Cowboy Shows, and said the same thing. It’s not the glorification of stupidity, but the technology that amplifies it, and gives it a bullhorn… and then wicked people who know how to manipulate the masses through symbols, images and black and white ideas.
People are not very brilliant. And never were. You read something like the Ulster Cycle, it’s hilarious the kind of politics they did, such as presenting bare chested women to invading armies and getting offended at pig roasts.
Like, Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great—both having about 140iqs—were just those rare sorts who came in an advanced society, and those advanced societies were cultured by traditions. That’s where we went wrong, was attacking the traditions. As that’s the education of the lowest common denominator, is religion, myths, history and tall tales. Which, for the most intelligent, they must also grapple with the genius of someone like Jesus in order to shepherd the people right.
Christianity is just true. The simple need it. The intelligent need it. Everyone needs it. But, they need tradition, too. George Washington and the Cherry Tree they need, they need to know about the World Wars, the Revolution, Slavery, Abolitionism, the Civil Rights Movement, The Civil War, they need the old Nursery Rhymes… the old movies preserved a historical tradition and connected us to an authentic history. That was destroyed around 2010, and also the language got reinvented and simplified.
We’re dealing with a malicious actor, but it’s no person or bodily entity. It is indeed the devil working through many seared consciences wanting to sincerely improve the world.
Number, Operation and Geometry And Pontifications on Riemann’s Hypothesis
Algebra would not work without geometry. Neither would Group Theory. And if you can't figure out why Double Primes would be useful in finding a pattern in primes (useful, not saying they could, because it could still be completely random, but then maybe that randomness could be used to establish a pattern for understanding randomocity, and would be a geometry we could use to understand that), then I can't explain to you why all that other stuff is true.
But if I try, think deeply about [what I'm saying]. Algebra works on the consistency of number and operation. Which has its root in geometry. We can only know algebra and operation works, because we observe it in geometry. Without geometry, there would be no algebra, or any use for it. As all things explained by algebra, relate to geometry. Everything in math, relates to a physical representation, and if it can't, it's not usable. That's why there are not negative cubed roots, but there are quartic.
And double primes are important for finding a pattern in prime numbers, because it's the only pattern we have to go by, in primes, is that there are double primes.

"Algebra can work without geometry". [but] if it could, apples could grow without seeds. It's just nonsense [to say that]. And everything else, in Group Theory, in order to solve it--which I don't know what Group Theory is--you'd need a geometric representation, to get to the abstract answer for other uses.
That's why Riemann's hypothesis is finding a pattern in Primes. Which, if the Zeros were the whole of it, we'd find all the primes. Which we cannot do, so it's quite arbitrary. Whereas, the only pattern we have, that's real, is the twin primes. I'd think anyway... It's just simple to process for me.
Riemann's hypothesis is probably working toward a constant, or equation that can give you a basic geometric design to solve other abstract solutions. Kind of like how quadratic equations get you to a bunch of uses, but ultimately it works on the basis of a square's area.
[So], when you do equations- {} balancing them, you're basically taking two shapes, and then molding them into equal shapes, until you balance the equation. That's the right way to look at it. As, you can relate two shapes together, if they're equal, and come to a true solution. That's just the principle of an equality. Or really, you're just deriving two shapes that are equal to the same number.
[T]he Quadratic Equation, {} is a simple analogy. It's basic stuff, but very complicated in the theory. And people who are solving Riemann's Hypothesis, are trying to find a system of logic, that describes Prime Numbers, that's like a quadratic equation in that it has many uses, and trying to create a shape that describes it. And by having that shape, and that system, you can then reach to higher concepts, that need the logic to be completed. Or like Pi, there's a constant that is defined by a circle's shape, and that's something we measure, and use all the time, to get the correct solution. Because it's the real number that defines a circle.
