He is running for a position in the U.S. Senate. He should have a good command of the language he will need to use in his job. That’s not racist to point out he doesn’t have a basic job requirement. He’s not just an average resident.

(mildly): Assuming that as an American I (or anyone else) only knows 1-2 languages is pretty racist, don’t you think? It’s not the horrific misspellings and terrible grammar, it’s the hubris that led him to publish a book that he never checked or edited, shades of El Ron.

You do realize that you’re reading his bio completely manufactured by him?

His academic background (https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-000992877) says Computer scientist, and CompSci degrees don’t require Bio or Chem in most universities even those with GE requirements for the area of “physical sciences” will recommend they do the theoretically related Engineering course instead. Even some Physicists manage to avoid Bio, but rarely avoid Chem since Chem has more applicability. My never-in Engineer hubby didn’t originally know the Bio stuff either until I started studying it (as it’s related to the area of Anthropology etc.) when I returned to university post-leaving cult.

But in case you’re curious

this will help you learn how the body does that.

Teasing him for English errors isn’t nice though, since how’s your fourth/fifth language going? If you’re American or Aussie you probably only have two (at most) so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ let’s just stick to the fact that as a scientologist he believes easily proven false, harmful stuff. Picking on his language is racist.

https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-000992877 He says Portuguese Guinea, which is what is mostly now Guinea-Bissau. English is probably his fourth or fifth language therefore not as fluent. Let’s try not to engage in racist-tinged teasing since most Americans only have one or two languages. There’s enough to make him an undesirable candidate solely on being a scientologist!

Thanks for your response, Peabody. I really appreciate that you answered my question in such detail.

You know, from an existentialist point of view, life in general can appear rather pointless. We’re born, we live, we die…that’s it.

From an existentialist point of view it hardly matters WHAT we do between birth and death.

Nevertheless, long have I struggled with the question of what my purpose in life truly is.

Over the years various clues have presented themselves but I’ll share with you that until just now, nothing has truly indicated.

Thanks to you, though, Peabody, and this marvelous explanation above, my path is now obvious

I’ll devote the rest of my life to figuring out what the frickin’ hell you just said.

I figure this way: between the words I don’t understand and the ensuing word chains from their definitions, and factoring in that I’m in excellent health and likely to live long, I just might make it.

Wish me luck!

A Venn diagram (also called primary diagram, set diagram or logic diagram) is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. They are used to teach elementary set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.

A simple Venn diagram can be created by drawing two overlapping circles. Label one ‘A’ and the other ‘B’. Label the intersection ‘A+B’.

Humans and penguins are bipedal, and so are then in the ‘A’ circle, but since they cannot fly they appear in the left part of the ‘A’ circle, where it does not overlap with the ‘B’ circle.

Mosquitoes have six legs, and fly, so the point for mosquitoes is in the part of the ‘B’ circle that does not overlap with the ‘A’ one.

Birds have two legs and can fly and would be in the ‘A + B’ circle.

Creatures that are not two-legged and cannot fly (for example, whales and spiders) would all be represented by points outside both circles.

A Zen diagram looks like a liberal arts concoction of a Venn diagram and makes no sense to me.

Mobius or Moebius, is a surface with only one side (when embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space) and only one boundary. A system of differential-algebraic equations that describes models of this type was published in 2007 together with its numerical solution. Google it if you want a more technical explanation.

An example of a Möbius strip can be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip to form a loop.

If an ant were to crawl along the full length of the strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed both sides without ever crossing an edge.

Giant Möbius strips have been used as conveyor belts that last longer because the entire surface area of the belt gets the same amount of wear.

Also, as continuous-loop recording tapes (to double the playing time).

Möbius strips are common in the manufacture of fabric computer printer and typewriter ribbons, as they let the ribbon be twice as wide as the print head while using both halves evenly.

A Möbius resistor is an electronic circuit element that cancels its own inductive reactance. Nikola Tesla patented similar technology intended for use with his system of global transmission of electricity without wires.

In music theory, the space of all two-note chords, known as dyads, takes the shape of a Möbius strip.

Education in Scientology is non-existent with no worthwhile knowledge or marketable skill provided for staff which is a major problem when the staff member leaves Scientology.

The worst thing parents can do is put their child in Scientology at a young age.

Bono was doing an Objectives process, “Look at that tree …”

Zen diagram? Mobius strip? Google!….help!….!!
