|content=So Detroit, you are the birthplace of my Grandma/hero Sophie Rubin and the city that took in my family and landsmen from Vladimiretz in Poland/Belorussia. What can we do in return? What are the topics that are hardest to talk about in 2019 in your great city of hope and industry?

|content=People talk about Detroit falling on hard times. But Detroit welcomed my family, allowed Abe and Rebecca Sherman to run successful stores and send my Grandma Sophie Sherman to UCLA. Also, if our family had stayed in Vladimiretz they would have gone through this in 1934 and worse.

|content=30 years ago I placed a 1st phone call from an apartment in Harvard Sq. to a number in the Soviet Union.

I learned a bit of Russian to call. My heart was in my throat. My grandfather’s sister Rachel answered and passed the phone to her daughter Alla. We thought they’d perished.

“Yerick!! Daragaya maya(sic?).” 

I couldn’t believe it. The first contact with our Russian family in decades. Then the voice boomed in English:

“Happy International Women’s day!!”

I have no idea whether he was a Muslim, Christian, Druse or Jew as his father was from Lebanon and his mother Belorussian. Or all of the above. 

Which is to say, we are all bound up in each other &amp; are *all* here for the long haul.

|content=I think I avoided all pressure to find Trump guilty of collusion w Russia. And it was a considerable cost on my life. The typical conversation went: “Oh c’mon Eric. He’s clearly guilty. Why make excuses? When the report comes you‘ll have to look in the mirror.”

I want apologies.

Yet that will *still* not explain how everyone else who was *certain* came to that conclusion.

There are separate issues here: Mathematical, Philosophical and Political. There is a debate at the border of mathematics &amp; philosophy about know-ability that is not particularly politically interesting.

|content=@mattyglesias The concern here is different: you seem to be taking an old philosophically interesting debate at the edge of working mathematics and trying to use it to hint at arbitrary cultural aspects to ground truth. That is what is irksome. I don't think group theory hangs in the balance.

|content=@besttrousers @Britonomist @mattyglesias Not an error, but you are making the correct point. The term "Social Construct" is overloaded if you will. It both means something deep and is now used as a weapon to dismiss inconvenient things political radicals find inconvenient. It is the overloading to which I am objecting.

I’m not saying he has no point. I fear he has two of them: one defensible, one not.

|content=@littmath @mattyglesias Let’s take that. Imagine you construct them culturally via Cayley-Dickson. A physicist constructs them via spinor trialities. Then we are guaranteed to get a theorem *relating* the cultural constructions via the platonic object. There is interplay between the platonic &amp; cultural.

|content=Mathematics is very much about calculations. It is also very much about nature. 

Beyond that, it is also about ‘worlds’ of pure necessity and design so far beyond those that are instantiated that it would strain the concept of ‘nature’ beyond recognition to include them in it.

|content=I should admit that the math that describes the operations of nature at her deepest level (e.g. spinors, fiber bundles, symplectic geometry/geometric quantization, Gauge thy, Hilbert spaces, etc...) are actually the parts I’m focused on. But math is like a honey badger to nature.

|content=@youngfuddyduddy Also, I’ve talked with him on this topic in NYC. He is not unaware of the arguments and I found his perspective to be one of a scientist rather than a mathematician. 

I share the taste. But it can’t be phrased so starkly without being pointed out to be wrong. Math is bigger.

A) Many conspiracies have been discovered &amp; proven to exist (even elaborate, large &amp; far fetched ones).

B) Mainstream media promotes conspiracy theories (e.g. Trump/Russia).

C) All unauthorized CTs are just nuts.

|content=End/ Oddly, Epstein was buying quite good people, but many who were distinguished by being outward facing rather than the quiet introverted types famous within the fields yet all but unknown outside of them. That‘s a puzzle. Maybe they were the lure to entrap others. Or perhaps..

|content=To be honest, I should have been clearer. Let me say a few words.

By Trump supporters, I was referring to folks for whom Trump is close to a force of pure good. This goes way beyond lesser or necessary evil perspectives. So I should have been clear about absolute v relative.

|content=What I glean about the Trump, Clinton and Biden groups is that they pursue the personal intertwined w/ our national issues at an unacceptable level. I can’t prove that about any of them yet. But Carter, Eisenhower, Reagan or Sanders they are not. So I should have clarified.

|content=Next, I was careful not to opine on legality or impeachment. The way I’m viewing these hearings is that they are giving us a look into our foreign policy. Legality is about what we can prove, but judgement is about what we must glean. I wish we could avoid inference but we can’t.
