  • Hangszoró is speaker Divat is fashion or trend

    Your translation is as good as it can be. Trend of speakers? What do you call a sudden surge of trend in society? Because this is supposed to be that.

    Interestingly the Hungarian title is grammatically incorrect. Hungarian as German has compound words. The title should be one single word: “hangszoródivat”.



  • This is pure braindeath for the 100th time still. We, mathematicians always come up with small abuse of notations to make life easier. No mathematician is like, this is the only way you could go you charlatan. That being said, write equations and formulas in a way that the people you wrote them for (even if yourself) will understand. That’s what matters. If the formula is ambigous for the intended reader, then it is a bad formula or the notations are not presented clearly enough.




  • No need to take it personally if this is obviously not about you. My comment is about people who try to find reasons to not put in effort. Then you clearly state that you are quite the opposite. Do you think that your stance is general? Do you really not know the type of people I am writing about?


  • I am all in for people to start their treatment according to such a diagnosis if it “works wonders”. What I fear is that an era is coming where people in mass will selfdiagnose this and that and then have a reason to not put in effort. I have already seen this in university in action.


  • Light conservativism, open to gays, business and economy centered, nationalistic but not white nationalism and hating moscow. They think their biggest task is to heal the wounds that made Hungarians enemies of themselves (which is kinda is the biggest task). So overall quite broad, populist points. This was the best we could do after 16 years of protonazism.






  • I can empathize and sympathize with your situation. The evangelical cult based craziness in the US is truly astonishingly horrible. If you are from Ukraine, then I fully understand that you haven’t got the luxury of being patient towards enemies. I am from Hungary, and to what it is worth, I am 100% supporting Ukraine, sent money to the Hungarians fighting in the Ukrainian army as well.

    On the philosophical level I still think that hating on all religions because people can use religion for horrible causes is analogous to hating on technology and science because people can construct horrible weapons using those.

    As for the faith part: it is very hard to talk about it while being true to it, even when talking to close friends. So I choose to not talk about it more closely on public forums.


  • You think that nazism is always bad and you can deduce that when a nazi does something good they do it ‘despite’ being nazi. Then you claim the same for religious people. Do you really think the two cases are the same? I will now list a bunch or religious people who mean a great deal to me, and whose work can not be disengaged from being religious: Ferdinand Ebner, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenczweig, Franz Kafka, Jakob Böhme, Endre Ady, Béla Tábor, and I could go on and on. I could not mention one single nazi who means a great deal to me and for somewhat respectable but still somewhat racist people I can always disengage their racism from why they are important to me. So clearly for me the two cases are not paralell. I wonder if you are truly sure that they are parallel for you.

    I accept your proposition to make bigoted a technical word. I am too intolerant towards nazis. And I am also intolerant towards various forms of religious zeals.


  • Hating on religion is bigoted because there are and were great men and women both religious and atheist. Also there are and were horrible people both religious and atheist. There is ton of evidence for both claims, which you clearly choose to ignore. There are and were even people who are and were champions of both science and religion and who are more scientifically prepared than you would be in your whole life, yet still religious. I for example do not have a religion, but I do have a phd in mathematics and I do have faith and I think I am pretty good at arguing rationally.

    And then there is also the problem that fighting against something and hating that something is two different things. You also chose to hate on what you think you are fighting. I would anytime choose to fight someone making as bigoted claims as you, however in most instances – and for certainly in this instance – I am doing it without hating on the other, in this case you.
