This is really fascinating... But is it worth the investment when there's cheap storage for high quality audio and video recordings, and text-to-speech does a decent job? What am I missing?

I've been working on some of these ideas. Even if you had mathematica-grade program implementations of all mathematical objects and properties, you can't get over things like "you can't solve the quintic this way, dummy!" Or "no, you can't have a good visual of R^n in a 2D screen!" Etc.

That doesn't mean all hope is lost. For now, I won't say more.

I think the reason is that math notation is used in context. Which is what explains the two different notations for calculus derivatives. They were interested in different things! Similarly in quantum mechanics (not my area) you may want to use bra-ket notation or matrix representations if you care about implementation details.

Surprisingly well written and researched.

One thing missing is the effect of testosterone on lean mass creation.

Wonder if the fat to co2 process can be ventilator assisted without hurting the lungs .

"There is no such thing as banana juice. Banana flavor comes from an oil that does not mix well with water. Normally it is imbued in the fatty flesh of the banana. You can buy banana acetate which has a banana-like flavor." - first Google result

Assuming this post is genuine,

Coping is an interesting word choice. It hints at perceived wrong.

Internalizing an injustice can force one to confront morality.

It is complicated. I only want to present a different case.

There was a recent report on charges against a sex-trafficking ring where the victims were "rescued"... but later were re-victimized. Turns out the undercover officers in the investigation reportedly had paid and participated in sexual acts with the victims which eventually lead to a dismissal of charges due to entrampment laws.

1. Decisions matter in this sense.

2. Consequences are often not directly measurable

(Does sexual freedom come with hidden costs to us, such as porn addiction effects, prevalence of STDs, etc?) (Is supporting abortion or 'reproductive rights' of disadvantaged groups different from genocide?) (A recent example: does the positive of lives saved by the pandemic lockdown balance with the negatives of its economic impact?)

3. An easy answer is not in my HN comment.
