Sounds like something Andrew would be interested in ...

Normal programmers concern themselves with building the best algorithm
to solve a problem, or finding the most maintainable way to structure a
program. Haskell programmers concern themselves with Russell's paradox
and the nature of set theory.
Hmm. There's something deep, right there...

Yes, but notice something: You don't know who Stallman is, but you do
know who Russell is. ;-)

Um... actually I have no idea who Russell is, or what his paradox is.
But I presume it's something to do with set theory, so...

Do you know who the lead singer of Space is?
Do you care?
No, I thought not. :-P
It is impossible to know everything. Some people simply find some facts
more interesting than others. (E.g., most of the population couldn't
give a fig about the difference between a quicksort and a merge sort,
yet people here sometimes run elaborate benchmarks to compare them.)

It is probably to my gain that I understood none of that.
After all you said it all: it should not be. And it doesn't exist for me.

Makes me think of Maxwell. Probably everyone knows of him.
A case where you are unknowingly NOT enjoying being ignorant.
You may recall scalar magnitude. 2 waves traveling in opposite direction cancel.
0 Amplitude. 0 Frequency. I recall little else on that concept, except that we
were left with some erroneous concept that the 2 waves were cancelled and their
power was not discussed.
Full disclosure of his theory was removed from academia because it was thought
to be too powerful. Maybe you were left wondering. It is the important things
we need to know, it is not?
Generally some people are right or left brained people. That is, the side you
What would happen if the hemispheres of your brain were operating on the same
freq?
Would you fall over dead? Or be zombified because you now had 0 Amplitude and 0
Frequency in your head? And what would sync these 2 cranial hemispheres electro
magnetically? What would be the result? I believe Maxwell had an answer to the
last question that you were not allowed to know.
Anyone?
Else this dies here.

you know, if you think Bertrand Russel's contribution to mankind is the same as
some underground band, you are in need of some serious perspective...

I'd be a millionaire... ;)
Maxwell... cool guy. We should name some raytracer with his name for his
contributions in optics... oh, never mind!
