I was thinking about how someone from Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the UK could attempt to get asylum in a country like Switzerland or Costa Rica or Mexico(?!). It is a pretty fucking miserable thing to try to do on your own, but I reckon with some support it would be OK. Even the US process would be OK with a lawyer and visitors. The thing is how do the people supporting your application protect themselves from retributions? Well, any such retributions would be downright unlawful, wouldn't they? Or am I being naïve? I am very naïve. See  Rumors of Suicide of a Senior British Military Intelligence Officer  and  Whistleblower Protection Act .

I learned about this from Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context  which she seems to have written when she was in the USA. She mentions Hilbert's 24th Problem in a footnote. I've made a clone of my github metaprogramming repository here:  https://github.com/Ian-Grant/metaprogramming . I think it should run on the Moscow ML fork I have at  https://github.com/Ian-Grant/mosml/ . This has a minor code-compatible change to the SML 97 standard which, if Meta.utf8 is true , explicitly allows UTF8-encoded ASCII in string literals and which extends the character syntax with an escape sequence for convenience in specifying Unicode UCS characters up to 24 bits lomg using the escape \u+xxxxxx , where x is a hexadecimal digit in the range [0-9A-Fa-f] . In addition it will accept \uxxxxxx, which is really a bug. The change affects the lexical analysis phase and performs a check that only valid UTF8-encoded characters appear, and in the pretty-printing unit PP which correctly acco...

This is an almost mechanical way to prove that certain types of recursively defined functions generate transcendental numbers.

This is really about avoiding the hassle of installing tools locally (and feeding Google AI.)
