Someone named Napoleon did things, we remember him, and the record of Napoleon's deeds get passed down to us. Because people witnessed him do those things, and recorded it in history. Just like Grandpa, a record of him gets passed down to the next generations. "Pop Pop lost his leg in a train accident. He sat with me, and we used to watch the birds. He liked to go to church. He liked Philadelphia sports teams. He sometimes used oaths when the team was losing. He worked at the Pennsylvania Turnpike as an Accountant. His dad, Pop, was an outdoorsman and played professional football for the Coal Leagues on the Tamaqua Bulldogs. Pop Pop loved dogs. He once crushed a hamster with his artificial leg by accident. He was not very good at cooking pork, but was an expert grill chef. Pop Pop also was with the naval fleets commissioned to invade Japan in case the Atomic Bombs weren't dropped, and said that they were days away from deploying, and were just about to." Things like that. It's not the referents that give it meaning, but the fact that he actually did those things, and lived that life, and record of it gets passed down to the next generation, to make a memory.
Calculus Meditation
One might rack their mind, and say, "Calculus is only an approximation." Because it seems too difficult to gather every point on a slope and curve. Yet, hear me out... It is not an approximation, because the calculus turns the curve into a line, and each addition to the formula is a newly defined part of the curve. So, the infinite sum works over the curve and turns what is curved into a singular line, making what is a curve into a straight line.
Errata - Also, Calculus works from formulas, that make repeated patterns, by plotting points and then forming a curve through it. So, the exact math comes from the formula, and forging it through plot points.

Homosexuality in Medieval Europe
Christianity always censured Homosexuality, but laws against it didn’t start until 1260AD and really began being implemented in 1280AD, meaning it wasn’t really prominent. And preachers began preaching on it by 1100AD showing it was a new thing, otherwise they would have preached against it much earlier. And Pope Boniface was martyred in 1303AD. Or not Martyred, but he might as well have been. The Pope wanted European solidarity so as to avoid war and conflict, which France took him into prison, and beat him, and he died of his beatings a little later. Which France seems to be the nation where the royalty had the most penchant for homoerotic relationships, showing a correlation of corruption with the behavior. And God was wrathful with the world for martyring a peacemaker, and it led to a turbulent period—one of the worst in human history—throughout the 14th century.
Every source I looked at showed the laws became stricter later in the middle ages, showing it had to have become more prevalent then, for them to take notice. And for preachers like Allen De Lille to preach against it. Showing a direct correlation with homosexuality and corrupt government.
P Versus NP
I'm a total amateur at math. I just go for the simple stuff. And try to understand that. I did find out why an ellipse needs calculus to solve. The curve isn't related to Pi. I attacked it from every angle, looking for a simpler formula. The best I had wasn't right. I like to know the theorems behind it. Like Calculus and Trigonometry. I don't do advanced stuff... although I think P Versus NP can't be solved. Some NP can't equal P. I think people, instead of looking for a shortcut, should break down the geometry of NP difficult equations, and do something like a Geometric Proof to find whatever they're looking for.
The Plastic Lichen
The first dragonfly is seen...
It swoops here and there...
The forest greets me today,
As I bend over to touch the lichen.
It is only plastic protruding out of the ground.
Why? I do not know.
Like Homosexuality,
It looks natural
Until you touch it.
And then you know...
"Oh, it is only plastic."
Why Homosexuality is a Sin
The first and most blatant reason, Is that it is dirty. Butts and mouths are not Orifices for sex organs. And all the other ways Seem to be artificial Or not so satisfying. It is also a non reciprocal way Of having sex. There is always One receiving pleasure And another not. Meaning it can never be equally satisfying. It is self centered. Homoeroticism is a sign of narcissism. It develops in the minds of those Who are selfish. To desire one's Homogenous sex, means one Has a desire for their own form And not the opposite form. Meaning, their libido is turned inward And when this happens it is classic narcissism. You can tell by the voice acting men use That they are being narcissistic; And the women make themselves look like men. It skews the Logos. People who are homosexual Cannot---I've never met one--- Know right from wrong on any Basic level. Therefore, it creates A slippery slope where it slides Into worse and worse behaviors. Such as right now, with Pedophilia Being attempted to be normalized And men competing in women's sports. People who are homosexual And those who accept them Cannot know what is good or right In order to distinguish it from evil. It also creates a strain on the supply Of healthy sexual partners. Those who are homosexual eat up The surplus of mates, and therefore Create scarcity for spouses within the culture. This, in turn, spreads frustration And increases the occurrence of Involuntary Celibacy. Because spouses are harder to come by When three out of every fifty people Are cut from the gene pool. And finally, it does not create life. It, being purely hedonistic, Encourages others to view sex As a toy, and not a serious bodily function Which can create a human life. Thereby, Homosexuality leads To an attitude about sex that it can be Merely about pleasure. And thereby, it causes those Within the culture to view sex Hedonistically. And thereby It leads to unwanted babies, And therefore abortions, And therefore unloved children, And therefore it destroys The culture's fidelity. As, when a culture's view on sex Is skewed, it cannot be happy.
Another Midrash
God why do You make a mockery of me, when I just tell the nations the truth? Why do You give me into their hands, and cause them to have their way, and cause my vision to fail? Do You love sin? Do You love oppression and violence? Why do You cause the sinner to rejoice, and the repentant to be in misery? Why do You cause trouble for the righteous, and give a smooth way to the wicked? Selah… I know… for there is no righteous judgment in the land, and sin is elevated, therefore the righteous suffer, and must so until Thou establish truth again. Why do the selfish and abominable get their meat, and those who have waited for You for decades find themselves about to be cast out in shame? Why do You let the dogs have love, and the patient saints, who would do good with Your gifts, why do You cause them to pine after Your commandments? Do You favor the wicked? Selah. No, it is that the judgment is nigh the land, and the thieves, liars, dogs and sorcerers shall be brought to an end. For while my drink is shortened, and my needs are not met, You plentifully give shelter to the wicked, and I ask why? Why do You show favor to the wicked? Why do lies get established, and why is the truth cast down? Why are strange things being done, and nobody tells the truth? And the one who tells the truth, You strike as if a false prophet, and all Your people mock? No, LORD, establish me, for I am Your Servant and have not lied. Yet You gave me over to the Accusers and mockers, and have not established me. Yet, You shall at the time appointed, return and establish judgment. For I am Your servant. And I shall perpetually worship You. For You are good, and I seek Your face so mercy shall be set aside for me, great and tall, and I shall drink of living waters, and eat the fruit of life.
The War of Beelzebub
Walking down the park path,
Flies number in the hundreds
Swarming my hair, my face,
My back, my sides, my belly.
Biting everything they can gnaw.
Such it is, Beelzebub rises
From the Gehenna,
And the war is ferocious...
The flies, his minions,
His rioters and drunkards and philistines
They swarm the world, and bit
All who pass by.
Soon, Wisdom releases her arrows
And the Dragon Flies
Like Seraphim come,
And they eat the flies
One by one, and their numbers
Lessen, and their larva
Cannot be grown to multiply.
