Thanks a lot.

I'm talking about people who say, for example, that the real number defined in the Cantor's diagonal argument is counted for in the last row of the list.

Where do I set or cancel the emails which are automatically sent to me on new comments etc.?

Today I learned that there is an entire international subculture of ignorant jerks bent on refuting Cantor.

I didn't hear it as a teenager because there was no second opinion then 🙂.

Perhaps you're right. I just think that the humor of this joke is apolitical:

You know as well as I do that correlation does not imply causation. E.g. Far more religious people than atheists reject vaccinations. Far more religious people than atheists are on the Right. Or. Uneducated vs. educated. Etc.

Me too.

Being an idiot is not political. There are plenty of anti-vaxxers on both sides. And were there before Covid, too.

But how is this humor political?

Details matter here. It depends. Which humans? How were they trained? What parameters were given for the analysis?

And the pressure wave went around the world seven times!

The Pompeii story was well known and popular in the USSR. I guess it was "promoted" there thanks to the Russian painting, The Last Day of Pompeii - Wikipedia.

Martinique is a bit far from here, but the Collectivité de Saint-Martin is around the corner. I'll visit there at some time perhaps. P.S. In fact, Martinique is close on the map - it's just more difficult to get there from here than to St. Martin, because of the Dutch part, Sint Maartin.
