Riots in Libya too.
Which reminded me of Gaddafi's signature.
There is an ancient proverb saying that "your signature is your mirror".

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

People say “a picture is worth of thousand word”, so in the given case “a signature is a thousand words”…
ReplyDeleteWhat does Gaddafi’s signature tell to me:
a) He is a fan of Rolling Stones… and especially of Ronnie Woods.. they look quite alike.
b) He is signalling to individuals and generally to the world that they should not take his “signature for contract”. So, he is not expected to do the things he agreed to do..
c) “Say whatever you want about me, I will do whatever I want”…
d) Finally, given the complexity.. I would claim that he is quite intellectual, loving literature, poetry and in general arts (war arts especially)..
After having a close look to mine signature I realized that it looks like a stain… Is this signalling a problematic childhood and a shallow personality?
