I think I'll listen to this video on "How Do I Overcome Comparison" while I obsessively map out the matchings in Draw Me a Robot's October competition -- where I'm getting tossed out in the first round again.
I'll be less pissy about it this month that I was last month.
"At low social temperature, the parties are almost pure, i.e. Republicans contain rights while Democrats contain lefts...approaching the critical social temperature, the two parties become indistinguishable which leads to collapse of the political system."
"The molar social enthalpy of the bourgeoisie equals h_b B + c_p T, where the molar heat capacity at constant price pressure obeys the Mayer law [relating it to the molar heat capacity at constant volume."
* The van der Waals equation of state describes a gas that is non-ideal in that the size of the molecule is large enough that its volume cannot be considered to be infinitesimal.
In the limit of small molecule size, it becomes the ideal gas law.
"The van der Waals equation* predicts a critical point...Above the critical temperature, the system cannot separate into two phases in equilibrium...corresponding to Marxism, which cannot be split into two classes. Below the critical temperature, the capitalist society consists of two phases."
All of the political problems in this world come from a basic disagreement that pervades society: do you cut your sandwiches horizontally or diagonally.
Y cuts them diagonally.
You can imagine what happened when she saw that I cut one sandwich diagonally, and then I cut then next one horizontally.
This guy went on to say, yes, because of this we should outright ban or put strong controls on social media sites.
When I hear the same study, I think that they absolutely would pay a dollar for access to a network their friends were on, and that they would be very unhappy if it were taken away.
When listening to this lecture, the dude mentioned the study where college students say that they wouldn't pay for their social media, but would pay fifty bucks to keep other people from using it.
Usually, people just use it as a measure of dissatisfaction with their smart phone experience.
