What Have You Been Studying?

[Sunstone]

What have you been studying recently?

What's the most striking thing you have found out?

.......
EDIT: I take notes when reading up on something. I have done almost no reading up on anything new for the past six weeks, but -- going back further than six weeks -- the four most recent subjects I have read up on (according to my notebooks) are:

(1) The impact of French postmodernism on the West with especial reference to its consequences for pole dancing.

(2) The concept of arete in ancient Greek culture, including Kitto's analysis of arete's role in the aesthetic maturation of ancient Greek pole dancing.

(3) Newberg's five characteristics of enlightenment experiences as revealed via fMRI brain scans of erotic pole dancers.

(4) Kolmogorov's contributions to probability theory and especially the application of his contributions both to random walks and to random pole dance maneuvers.

As you can see, I am a scatter-brain with no known center of focus.

[Rival]

I've been studying myself.

I found out a lot of things.

 

[crossfire]

History, philosophy, and religion from an Iranian perspective. I'm currently contemplating the notion that Buddha was a Scythian.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

Finance/loans/money/spending

I've learned a lot of young people get themselves in debt quickly. Perhaps school should focus on money management courses.

 

[BSM1]

Modes for the guitar. Many songs are a lot easier to play than I thought.

I found out a lot of things.

There'll be a pop quiz tomorrow.

I've been studying some correspondence to fill in missing
info about the history of a particular NJ engine company.
It's been fruitful. But it's not as exciting as one might think.

 

[Terry Sampson]

Where I went wrong, ... and how often.

 

[Polymath257]

Lately, I have been studying the material connected to Martin's axiom and how it relates to the Baire Category Theorem.

The most striking thing I have learned is how the topology of the remainder of the natural numbers in its Stone-Cech compactification affects the BCT for separable spaces.

Any other questions?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Special Education assessments. I am learning I have a medical condition where my eyes glaze over when I am reading the math behind statistics.

I've been reading about the Mahabharata.

I've discovered that there are multiple similarities between this great epic and those of Israel and Greece including...

• Harivamsa's Krishna and the Greek Heracles
• Draupati's Swayamvara and Odysseus' homecoming
• The Game of Dice and Jacob's exile

...leading me to conclude the the worlds great epic myths were inspired within a worldwide tradition of story.

I found out a lot of things.

drop the things , study yourself whilst naked so no things are clinging ...? ( except that clings with the body)

 

[Revoltingest]

I've been reading about the Mahabharata.

I'm impressed.....I can't even pronounce it.

Can I get fries with that...

 

[Revoltingest]

Can I get fries with that...

You understood him?
I recognized some English words.

 

[BSM1]

You understood him?
I recognized some English words.

All I know is that it had something to do with stoned Czechs...

 

[Terry Sampson]

I recognized some English words.

I knew a Martin once, ... but probably not related.

 

[sun rise]

Life has been studying me. I'm hoping life gives me a C+ on the exam.

 

[LuisDantas]

German, ePub format, and a bit of Javascript.

Sadly, very little application in pole dancing.

 

[sealchan]

I'm impressed.....I can't even pronounce it.

Ma - ha - ba - raw - ta

Ma like ma and pa
Ha like funny
Ba like a sheep
Raw like uncooked
Ta like ta-ta for now...

Nutrition.

I found out that we are controlled by our hormones all our lives, not only when we're teenagers. Bummer!
