Apologies for being absent from the forum for so long.
mrs m has had a hip replacement and is recovering nicely.
Three unrelated topics here.
One, have you come across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandeville%27s_Travels in your reading?
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville is a book written between 1357 and 1371.
I came across it while reading a long introduction to the journal of Dampier.
It’s the origin of several interesting myths.
Two, have you come across Marcus Auraleus “Meditations” in your reading?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations
Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180.
He was the last good Roman Emperor.
In it, he records his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.
Apparently, as a “rules for life” it is still as current today as it was back then.
It was read by and influenced several famous people including John Stuart Mill.
Three, I’m adding a ninth part to my eight part “Which infinity” series. Tentatively named “unsolved”.
About parts of the theory of nonstandard analysis that aren’t proved yet. Not on youtube yet.
In it, I’m rather proud of the following.
