Yesterday I sent her and my mother a link to this video:

I made this video for you half an hour ago. You need to see the video description and links therein on YouTube.

Hi Dad,

I'm afraid it's still not obvious to me.

This is the email address for the USS which I found on their website - they say that they are not taking many phone calls at the moment.  pensionsonline@admin.cam.ac.uk

Helen

I replied:

Hi Helen,

Thanks for looking that up. The USS is a nationwide organisation that handles pensions for employees of many universities. I have their E-mail, and I have mailed them and they refuse to deal with pension inquiries by E-mail because it is not secure. They require me to phone them. I have their number. Listen to what I say on the video again. What I need is help  getting my own PayPal account with money to pay for Skype, because WhatsApp doesn't work.

Sorry you are not able to pay enough attention to what I wrote. Are you on any medication for anxiety or depression or anything? That may be what is stopping you from connecting.

Love
Ian

I wonder whether maybe she has a drug problem:

Hi Dad, 

I'm happy to transfer you a maximum £20 but no more than that. How should I send the money? 

Best wishes,
Helen

Here are some fragments of Carl Jung's thought which seem relevant. My mother was very into Jung when she was younger.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.
