Being a mathematician does irreparable damage to you vocabulary. I have on more than one occasion forgotten that certain words have normal every day meanings
Normal meanings as in, what, they're orthogonal?
You’re thinking of a normal vector! Normal meanings are meanings that are invariant under conjugation.
That's a normal subgroup! Normal meanings are those where any two disjoint closed subconcepts have disjoint open neighbourhoods.
That’s a normal space! Normal meanings are meanings whose third- and higher-order cumulants are zero.
hm no that's a normal distribution! normal meanings are local meanings obtained by exponentiating the tangent space at a point
ah, you've gotten it mixed up with normal coordinates. normal meanings are those such that, when written in a base b, their digits are uniformly distributed between 0 and b-1.

It's time to kill the idea that we can only grow and heal when we're uncomfortable. You heal every time you have a good conversation with someone. You heal every time you laugh. You heal every time something makes you smile genuinely. You heal every time you have fun creating something - anything. You heal every time you get so absorbed in something fun that you forget your struggles for a while. There is, in fact, lots of healing and growth to be found INSIDE your comfort zone.

#that was (give or take) around the time of the bronze age collapse #crete was no longer a major player #and the known world was kinda in turmoil #and yet someone planted an olive tree #i’m not saying there’s a direct parallel #but you know…systemic collapse thanks to many things including climate change #and it sucked for a lot of people #but they still needed olive oil #and idk man…maybe plant a tree #because the world has ended so many times #but the tree is still here #and so are we
