You made me realize this is actually pretty common in math, e.g. “Let x, y be real numbers” instead of “Let x and y be real numbers”. I imagine this comes from the infuence of notation like “Let x, y ∈ ℝ”.

Well, Con(PA) is a “natural” statement I’d say, and ZFC proves Con(PA).

All the successful theories were developed from experimental results

The more I think about this, the more I’m not sure I 100% agree… For example, special relativity essentially came from the observation that Maxwell’s equations were not Galilean invariant, and instead invariant under this weird other group (what we now call the Lorentz group); and QED essentially came from Dirac wanting to take a “square root” of the Klein-Gordan equation.

(Of course, real history is more intricate than this.)

This is not about the same article nor the same authors.

Assuming that 99% of them are hoaxes, clout chasers, or misidentified phenomena, that still leaves 1% of all those videos to be true.

Yes, if you assume something is true then you can conclude that it is true.

I’m pretty sure OP is referring to the screenshotted text, not the first comment in the thread.

Ahhh, ok. Thank you, my fault for not reading carefully.

Where are you seeing “blockchain”? Looking through the (scant) documentation on GitHub, they explicitly do not use blockchain: https://github.com/plebbit/docs/blob/master/docs/learn/intro.md “Running a full node takes a few seconds, since there is no blockchain to sync.”

Another link someone gave: “We propose solving the data problem by not using a blockchain…” https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

Where are you getting this information? This “pull your cheeks together a bit” sounds completely out of left field to me.

This is a strange take. In Japanese it’s literally a consonant cluster [ts], which is to say it’s literally a Japanese “t” followed by a Japanese “s”. The Japanese “t” and “s” are not exactly the same as English, but they’re close enough, and English has the same cluster in, say, the plural “mats” of “mat”.

What “tsunami” breaks in English is not really the sound, but instead just the fact that English doesn’t allow [ts] unless it’s preceeded by a vowel.

equivalent to a shonen manga’s plotline.

It’s funny you should say that as there is actually a loose anime adaptation, titled “Gankutsuou”.
