20 bucks says that the surreality quote ends up in the book lol. The transcript makes it sound like he perked up immediately there; he seemed waaaay more interested in that than your attempts to explain epistemology.
What I'm getting from this comment is your goal in relationships is to have as much sex as possible as fast as possible with as many women as possible? IMO, when you're writing advice articles, you should probably state explicitly that that's your goal, and you don't care for romance and such. Most men aren't in your target audience, after all.

I mean... sorry for stating the obvious, but have you considered finding women that you really like spending time with? (The sex is way hotter that way too!) Correct me if I'm w...
I can see how this could be confusing, but in mathematics, the phrase "representation theorem" is not specifically about "representation theory". Wikipedia's definition is quite broad:

The list of examples it gives is probably more useful.
(Adding to the confusion: a famous example of a representation theorem is a corollary of Cayley's Theorem: for every group there is a...

The concept of yumminess/yearning is relevant; the concept of popular assertions of what one oughts to yearn for is relevant. But I object to both of these rough definitions on the grounds that they miss many central aspects.

I don't know what to say lmao. He is not thinking clearly. This is triggering my "I can fix him" reflex. (I think I'd back up and explain how one can know that playing the lottery is usually a bad idea, and how to recognize the rare cases where it isn't. He's not thinking in a quantitative way about uncertainty. Which is understandable, because it is a rather twisty idea — the idea that uncertainty, the absence of knowledge itself, can be quanti...
