Deep faith

This is a video about praying in unison. No comments will be added. Just watch and see what Goya meant when he said "the sleep of reason creates monsters". This is what faith is about, and what you see here is not an isolated phenomenon. Alas, there are far too many men and women of faith who practice these things. I wonder what Blair thinks about them when he teaches faith at Yale University...

    It's astounding to me that the human mind is even capable of such self deception. What a waste of a mind.

    Maybe they should call this the "House of delusions"?

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line

Nuestras horas son minutos cuando esperamos saber y siglos cuando sabemos lo que se puede aprender.
(Our hours are minutes when we wait to learn and centuries when we know what is to be learnt.) --António Machado

 Αγεωμέτρητος μηδείς εισίτω.
(Those who do not know geometry may not enter.) --Plato

Sapere Aude! Habe Muth, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen!
(Dare to know! Have courage to use your own reason!) --Kant
