Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

Learning more about how cannibalism (in some historical/cultural contexts) was a sign of love and respect has been fascinating, even more so when noting that the idea of conquest remains! Eating people is how you "spiritually" consume their essence and power, yet by doing so to a friend or family, it was a way of carrying on their memory and spirit in a sense. Communing with them after they died. Even more so, it was sometimes viewed as kind to prevent a body from rotting or falling to insects!

Criously, burned bones in a historical sight are often used as an indicator that it may have been acts of cannibalism. It was often used as a way to hide the damage done to the bones to make it hard to tell if the damage was done by a man or an animal. Along with if it happened after they died or not. It's almost an act of shame or embarrassment, an acknowledgment that you know what you've done is taboo. Other times, Bone-Ash was also a special type of cannibalism, which is another thing I hadn't even heard of before!

Even the Greeks viewed Cannibalism as one of the greatest wrongs one could commit, according to my World-Lit professor at least. So I was extremely interested in the more positive elements surrounding it, and now I'm kinda curious of your thoughts on the matter?

(Sorry for the constant cannibalism dumps)

huh

never really thought about the culture around cannibalism

that's actually rad as hell, seeing it as a "passing on" sorta ceremony

It's also worth pointing out that Ukraine has a population of 43 million, while Gaza's is only a little over 2 million

And yet...

A category is a collection of objects and morphisms (best to think of them as arrows) between them. For example you can think of a monoid (like the natural numbers(no zero) with multiplication) the class of objects being the set and the the collection of morphisms being the described by the binary operation by some element of the set(*,n for all n in the natural numbers). What happens when you want to move between categories? Well then you introduce functors, maps between categories. Full means for every pair of objects x,y in C the mapping f to F(f) defines a surjection Mor(x,y) to Mor(Fx, Fy); faithful means basically the same but injection not surjection, combined full and faithful is like injectivity, you need a third thing; essentially surjective. Essentially surjective means for every object d in D there is some c in C st Fc isom d. If you have fully faithful and essentially surjective you have an isomorphism on catagories.For example in the degenerate example of the category of the natural numbers with multiplication by a natural number, and the category of the integers, addition and multiplication by an integer, the identity from the natural numbers to the integers is a faithful functor trivially. For a less degenerate example think of k dimensional vector (obj) spaces and k linear maps (mor). This is not nessasarialy surjective on objects. What are some functors is a natural question. Now onto my favorite functor: the forgetful functor. The forgetful functor: U, from the catagory to the set maps objects to their underlying sets and morphisms to their underlying set-maps. it tosses out the structure of the catagory, hence forgetful. Its really fucking dope ngl. to define the next functor we need to define the C^{op}, the opposite category, it has the same object but with flipped arrows(swap the sources and targets of C's morphisms). There is a functor C to C^{op} that takes objects to themselves and arrows to their "flip". For the third example we will talk about based spaces. Let (X,x) be a based space, (X is a space, x in X). we call the fundemental group \pi_1(X,x) the set of based continous maps l:[0,1] to X st l(0)= l(1) = x, moding out homotopy equivilence. The group structure is loop conatenation: given l, l':[0,1] to X, define l'l:[0,1] to X to do one loop over [0.5] then one loop over [0.5, 1]. then given a based map f:(X,x) to (Y,y), there is aninduced map f_*:\pi_1 X to \pi_1 Y given by l to f \circ l. This defines a functor: \pi_1 (-): Top_* to Grp. for the forth and final example for this post for each n, singular homology defines a functor H_n(-): Top to Ab. Simularly, singular cohomology defines a functor H^n(-): Top^{op} to Ab. Next post we will talk about natural transormations. they are rather hype ngl.

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

i love how like… im always busy and forget to talk to people and then when i remember im busy (doing the math) and im like “im having fun doing the math im sure i’ll remember to talk to them later” and then forget and now the only people i talk to in a regular basis outside of class and like a few exeptions im talking to about math and all the math we have to do and other math things and i forget everything else bc i only have time for the math and then when i have a break i feel to self conscious to talk to the non math people bc i think they may be upset at me bc i never talk to them.

I think the reason conservatives hate environmentalism so much is that all the terminology is too friendly and lame sounding to take seriously. I purpose we change the following terms to get these people on our side.

Solar powered -> Plasma charged

Wind power -> Vortex energy

Electric vehicle -> Lightning machine

Renewable resource -> Infinity asset

Greenhouse gasses -> Death Clouds

Global warming -> Property devaluation

Environmentalists -> Wilderness cops

For example, saying you're a wilderness cop that drives a lightning machine powered by infinity assets to reduce death clouds and increase your property value sounds 100x more macho than the alternative.
