He can't pardon someone who hasn't been convicted yet. Also, even if the senate doesn't impeach him... Mueller&co can just publish whatever damning evidence there is and then stall the investigation from actually prosecuting until he's out of office, then everyone gets slammed on RICO charges.



Just kidding, we're probably not going to have a government that is either legitimate or not 100%-corrupt, ever.

Im pretty sure the president can pardon someone without them actually being charged

Cantor is the first person discussed in that documentary I linked to. Though, for some reason it has some weird pinhole video effect when I watch that link? Maybe there's a better one.

is that the bbc documentary with the ridiculous host in the leather jacket in darkened rooms speaking like a loving idiot

Not that one but that might be the guy who does Story of Maths or the guy who does Islam and Maths. All of them are kind of hilariously overdramatic but it's still good poo poo.

It is formally undecidable in our axioms of mathematics, e.g. we can prove that it is not provable either way, as to whether or not there are infinities in between the size of normal (countable) infinity and the infinity size that Cantor found. See: The Continuum Hypothesis.

Infinity is weird.

oh i was thinking more along the lines of all those vairous pop science headlines about how we actually live in a simulated universe due to misunderstanding statistics / the various holographic universe theories (that stuff does my head in i dont even pretend to understand that one) / things being quantized at the smallest scales

the human brain being comparable to a computer though yeah that's pretty dumb tho some of the research into simulating brains is very interesting and I think will eventualy lead to the realization that consciousness is much more of a flexible thing than something that is either there or not.
