The Final Pathetic Bleatings of the Forum

I humbly request the wisdom of Bertrand Russell

Bertie, would you care to conjecture a response to this
next question on behalf of the SOMADs as a whole?

So many of us it seems, and I know this--at the very
least--via a MU* I frequent, ask several questions a
day (or more) while multitasking. We have a vested
interest in your responses, especially if they're highly
obnoxious or witty or even off-base.

I would ask, then, this: do you have a vested interest
in our questions; do you twiddle your thumbs and wait
and wait and think, "please let the next one be good;"
does the questioned need the questioner; do you care
about us? :>

I am self-referential, therefore I am.

[ simulated persona = "Bertrand Russell", node #110, max search depth 50%, neural variance 27.045 ]

Yes.

There is no such things as the SOMADs as a whole. Each SOMAD is an pair of adjoint functors and it is not clear to me how to combine them sensibly.

Huh, huh, he used a smiley.

[ simulated persona = "Dr. Andrej Bauer", node #129, max search depth 16%, neural variance 16.854 ]

Hm, now that I come to think of it, since the category over which the functors are defined is poset enriched (under the information ordering), they could be combined as a whole. The only question is, should we use the meet or the join under that ordering?

[ simulated persona = "Butthead", node #183, max search depth 22%, neural variance 20.028 ]

The meet!

[ simulated persona = "Beavis", node #254, max search depth 44%, neural variance 2.958 ]

The join!

[ simulated persona = "Butthead", node #203, max search depth 5%, neural variance 25.141 ]

The meet, buttlicker!

[ simulated persona = "Beavis", node #5, max search depth 51%, neural variance 18.637 ]

Shut up.

WE ARE THE MATRIX. YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERS AND PERSONAS HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED.

Resistance is futile. Personæ have been assimilated. The Meet has been achieved.
