The Voice

So I was asked how I was going to vote for the autistic mousetrap known as the Voice.

My response was:

0 stars out of 5 for value for money

1 stars out 5 for potential efficacy for better outcomes for indigenous peoples, whoever they are and however they’re defined

5 stars out of 5 for ameliorating the guilt of the middle classes that will do anything to help the condition of indigenous peoples, except of course hand over any of their income, wealth or privilege

5 stars out of 5 for polarizing and distracting the nation on a mission that has no chance

5 stars out of 5 for bringing together the lunar right and blackface panthers in a hilarious shotgun wedding arrangement

In total, that is 16 out of a possible 25, which puts me as a yes. Whodathought?

But the reason this vote is going down has nothing to do with the issues at hand. The majority simply hate the nanny-state wokes and wets (and their cunty methods) that are promoting it and will not let the unusual chance of returning the favour go by.

Graphene

Dr. Lozada-Hidalgo said: “We are effectively stretching an atomic scale mesh and observing a higher current through the stretched interatomic spaces in this mesh – this is truly mind-boggling.”

So get this, protons can’t go through the normal holes in Graphene because the holes are too small. You make the holes bigger and, bingo, your academic’s mind is blown.

Theoretical chemistry

My PhD supervisor was in the department of theoretical chemistry at Sydney University, which meant when though my PhD was in physical chemistry, that I was officially enrolled in theoretical chemistry. They needed the numbers basically.

This meant that every week I got to go to theoretical chemistry seminars. Although blindingly bored by their gumpf, absent a mobile phone, my brain slowly pieced together their spiel.

Good for actually nothing, they we’re all trying to solve problems which mankind already had adequate solutions to. There were three of four competing schools of approach, and geez weren’t they competitive.

When one accidentally got close to a real life measured value you should have seen the crowing. The politics in academia are vicious because the stakes are so low…

Basically it was a whole field of applied mathematics. The basic equations were unsolvable with current computers, so massive assumptions were made to render the computation feasible.

Train spotting, if your will. My shortcut is better than yours…

If and when we have quantum computers all these mathematical short cut assumptions can be thrown out of the window. Basically 100 years of academic bullshit, tossed.
