Please, define 'sentient'. 😉

#Work is really a curse.

It keeps #accumulating, no matter how much effort you put on it.

Then I decided to create an archive for "all the things I will never be able to do."

Well, guess what... That's more work.

So, I decided to quit and keep doing as usual - meaning, #postponing indefinitely some things *I should do*.

But I'm really #curious about how you're dealing with this. 😅

> Since Pines' Demon is predicted to play an important role in a wide range of phenomena, such as #transitions in particular kinds of #semimetals and #superconductivity , the work has important implications for material #physics .

> Usually in science, a "demon" is a hypothetical opponent for scientists and philosophers to argue against in a thought experiment, but Pines' Demon is quite different.
It's actually a type of #plasmon – a discrete unit of waves among rippling through a population of electrons . Plasmons have been described as the #quantum analogue of an #acoustic sound in a classical gas.

And the last thing you'd be thinking back then it was if you're photogenic or not.

Thank you mastodon people. You just made me win a dinner.
When I told my friend I was going to post this here she asked me not to do it, because "it would start a war". So, I bet with her a proper dinner (not pizza or burgers) that this post would have 2 comments or less. 😋

@piou
I've been seeing your posts for some time now, and there's one thing I feel obliged to clarify:

Les mastodontes ne sont pas des mammouths. 😃

@trinsec
That's why The Brave New World needs the 'gammas' and the 'deltas'. 😒
Just saying... 😏

"The promiscuity between banks and tax administrations is now so complete and shameless that they no longer are able to hide it."
(quoting a journalist friend of mine)

My comment was: "As I see it, money as debt can only be advantageous to the creditors, right?"

Disclaimer 1: I'm not an economist, I only took two semester courses in economics during the first two years of my undergraduate degree.

Disclaimer 2: It is not my wish to start a discussion about 'capitalism' vs 'socialism'. 😅

Is that recursive recursive logic? Or a gambit? Because it's making me nervous. 😅
