I've thought about this a few times, but tbh I don't know enough about human anatomy to know! My main thing is, what about nostrils? Do nostrils increase the number of (topologically nontrivial) holes in a human? I think we can ignore the windpipe and lungs, there should be a homotopy removing them (I think). Same with eyeballs, vaginas, and whatnot. But nostrils? I think those might be topologically nontrivial.
I was just making a joke about how many things are torus? Toruses? Tori?
Why have you been thinking about this
Oh! I forgot about ears! Really, the whole sinus situation is complicated and I have no idea what's happening in our weird-ass skulls
The outer ear ends at the eardrum, so I don't think it's topologically significant either. That said, the nostrils and mouth absolutely connect, so you have at least three holes up there.
I think we have five topologically significant holes? Nostrils, mouth, anus, urethra. Nothing else is actually a hole.
mouth-anus is one hole. nostrils and mouth form like a Y shape and i don't know enough math to name that kind of system
Sorry, I should've said we have five significant orifices. You're right that mouth-anus is one hole.
How do eye sockets fit into this? Aren't there openings between the skull and outside, technically, even though intraocular muscles or whatever usually keep the eye in an airtight position in the socket?
Well, if we're saying that tissue blocking the way doesn't count, then we have a whooole lot of holes.
Now calculate the volume of their ignorance using a triple integral in spherical coordinates
Oh I can think of some centrists I'd like to put inside a perfect vacuum
I all but guarantee that if that poster is old enough, they have a mostly-unread copy of Infinite Jest and a "Church of the Subgenius" sticker on an old laptop somewhere and think it's super cool to be vague and pretentious while not actually standing for anything but their own sense of superiority.
I've started to understand that someone who doesn't "obsess over identity politics" is probably just transphobic. The complaints about identity politics, cancel culture, all of that. It's been smuggled transphobia this entire time.
it's racism too, but that's been a dead issue ever since the brandon regime smiled in the face of the movement for black lives and said "die."
Once upon a time it was somewhat a benign phrase but the right co-opted it to the point where if somebody uses the words "identity politics" I assume chud or TERF until proven otherwise. For the left we can just use the word "intersectionality" to mean the same thing.
It might be a naive hope but I think the right will have more difficulty co-opting that word. Capitalist brainstorms have attached the concept of the individual to identity so "identity politics" was always vulnerable to being twisted by bad actors whereas 'intersectionality' implies a collective or at minimum multi-person framing of the concept. Again, I could be naive. But I hope.
hate to break it to you but liberals in the academy coopted intersectionality to mean 'all forms of oppression besides class' pretty immediately. it's been used by the Robin DiAngelo HR DEI class in the same way for going on a decade.
if I take "identity politics" seriously I'm either going to have to stick my neck out for other people, or feel guilty that I'm not sticking my neck out for other people, and there are a lot of really good video games in my backlog, soooo.......
"Nonpolitical" consistently means "is fine with the status quo and wants everyone who isn't to shut up, no matter how they're negatively affected by it."
Looks like the Circlejerk of Reassurance was completed successfully, and prevented any realization that might lead to personal development.
Do they not realize they just proved the meme's point about the "natural" bias in favor of CHUDs? They make a meme that the centrists play favorites with reactionaries, and the comment section rushes to defend the poor babby fashoids, in an ANTI-CONSERVATIVE GROUP.
