Vector space and module have an argument

Legend: Module - black, Vector space - blue

What do you have that I don't have, huh?

I have unity, you see

this gives me harmony

and self-reflection, squee!

Oh, I can look at a mirror just fine

self-reflection is my jam, alright

No, you don't get it

every member of our company

has their soulmate, you see

this promotes harmony

and loyalty to the company

Correction, except one and zero

they don't have a partner, no?

Oh, one is by fine by itself

my self-sufficient independent introvert

that brings all the guys together

harmony is his middle name

How about zero, huh?

Oh yeah! the pesky zero..

don't tell them I said that

it has a penchant for destruction

nobody can stand him

he just absorbs their energies somehow

yeah, you're right

everybody but zero has a partner

everybody else is fine

Too bad, my zero acts the same

occupational hazard, I guess

You know what, I actually envy you

What? How?

You see, you can actually let more people in

the misfits, the outsiders

who don't seem to have their lives together

but insanely creative and talented

What is it about the deranged and the unstable

that attracts genius and creativity?

Or is it the other way around?

I have no answer to that

as I said, occupational hazard

It was a rhetorical question

I know, my bad.

I guess it's true what they say

the grass is always greener on the other side

Yes, indeed.

You forgot, though

that you are a part of me.

I can't finish watching Laggies...

Why am I bothered by Laggies ? So much so that I don’t like finishing it? I guess the main character is about to make wrong decisions. And that gives me anxiety. I’m screaming at the screen, “No! Don’t do that”. But of course, they still do. Of course. I already know how this is gonna end. Why does it bother me so much when technically she’s not doing anything wrong? Oh yes, she’s gonna hurt her fiance when she inevitably breaks off their engagement. And? I don’t know. As I said, I don’t like it when characters make wrong decisions. She’s running away because she discovered that her father is having an affair. And instead of confronting him, she’s living with a teenager and her dad. And of course, she’s gonna fall in love with the dad. Predictable. I guess I just don’t like it when I don’t have control over things. The question is: will my worrying ever change the outcome? No. Definitely not. It’s all predetermined. But why am I worried on behalf of the main character? Even if she...

Anthem by Ayn Rand: Individualism vs Collectivism (reaction pre-pandemic)

I read Anthem by Ayn Rand before the pandemic happened. So my thoughts and opinions are not colored by people's reaction to the pandemic (e.g. anti-maskers). First off, I disagree with Ms. Rand's over-arching thesis that selfishness is always good. Too much individuality has made me feel alienated from other people. The best feelings that I had are when I feel connected to other people. The following quote resonated with me because I'm usually secretive with my thoughts and opinions. I don't share my thoughts freely that's why i have a private twitter account. It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. But according to the "document, don't create" philosophy you should share to the world your progress and don't just keep it to yourself. You might as well get constructive feedback and mee...
