Apparently. I was cruising through the news today and noticed a headline sourced from UN pundits and talking heads who think we will be done with hydrocarbons by 2050 - muh saving the climate. In fact they are attempting to make laws to that effect. Endgame, control all hydrocarbons, it's life or death.

Have you looked at comparative costs to energy production in the absences of oil subsidies?

Energy is more cheaply available from Nuclear, Geothermal, Wind and Hydro per kW than it is from Coal or Oil.

But oil subsidies artificially reduce the cost of oil and coal production, even though the infrastructure is impractical in the long term.

its genetically, back then in the old days of the pyramids the pharaos were people who could handle large numbers
imagine this: if you have to take care of millions of people then you need to have the ability to handle large numbers .All leaders can handle large numbers.

I completly pulled this out of my ass so I dont know if its true

it's pretty easy to see 1000 as a cubic brick that's 10 units long on every axis

a million is just a thousand thousands
and a billion is just a thousand millions. A trillion is a thousand billions, and so on. Each time you envision a brick you can then take that brick and use it as the smallest unit with which to construct a new brick. Hooray for animal senses and 3 dimensions of space, you can use it count to infinity.

This makes it less daunting when Stephen Hawking says there are ten million million million million million million particles in the universe.

Note: this trick will not help you if you have difficulties counting to ten.

because it still doesn't get rid of the fact that there is (there could be) a machine that contradicts the whole thing

The Halting problem is another one of those problems that arises from set theory regarding infinite sets. You can't fix it.

Lets assume that I did have a list of all possible computable programs X. We will assume that all programs not in X are not computable. I now want to design a computable program A() that will tell me if any of the members of X halt.

One problem, is A(X) a member of X? If it isn't, then A(X) isn't a computable program and therefore I'd be wasting my time trying to compute it, it would halt. So we should push forward with the assumption that A(X) is a member of X.

if A(X) halts,
A(A(X)) halts,
A(A(A(X))) halts,
A(A(A(A(X)))) halts,
and so on

The list of computable programs X is infinite, because it contains at least as many elements as A^n(X) where n is infinite, assuming A(X) halts.

Since X can be infinitely extended, there is no such program B in X that can generate X.

You should conclude that my first assumption, which was that I had a complete list X of all computable programs, is impossible.

I got one in the book 'Financial Calculus' by Alison Etheridge.

>>8775287
Good question actually. I remember searching for this some time ago, and the only things I found were watered down proofs for finance/econometrics majors.

>>8776320

Did some professor made a proof in his online course, in at least one american university ?

Do you recommend me to start with number theory?

You're a misogynist.

Lose all sexual interest?

That's the refractory period talking. An orgasm costs your body a lot of energy and nutrition to prepare for. That semen you shot loose was hard to make. So was the dopamine you flooded your brain with. Plus, you're probably dehydrated. In an effort to keep you to fucking yourself to death, your brain takes a fifteen minute cooldown period where you feel pretty sexually disengaged and, as an added bonus, have limp dick for a while.

Men can impregnate around a couple hundred women a year from ages 14 - death.

Women can only have one child every 9-10 months (excluding twins, triplets, ...) from ages 14 - 40 (at most).

Pregnancy is a very sensitive stage so women and their fetuses are extremely vulnerable for those 9 months and need to be fed and protected in order to insure their life and their child's healthy and successful birth, no defects or miscarriages.

Everything else follows from that. "Psychology" and "preferences" are all just consequences of the hard biological limits. In order to pass on your genes you want to impregnate as many women as possible, thus you lose interest immediately after orgasm so you can move on to the next woman and dominate the gene pool.

Yeah, he's not really able to do that. Its one of those houses where everything is sort of fossilized in position and moving the furniture would probably break it. My girlfriend says there has been mold for at least 15 years.
