Today I talked to an employee of Real Fundraising wearing a bright orange jacket sporting the Alzheimer's Society logo. They were asking for help researching Alzheimer's. I checked, and the help they need is money, of course, otherwise he wouldn't be standing on the corner of Market Hill in Cambridge, would he? See Ethnobotanical Toxicology.

I get it, really, I do. I totally get the whole money thing. I mean, money is how we decide what's worth doing and what isn't. Money is how we decide who gets to live where too. And it turns out to also be how we decide who gets to marry who, and who gets to have children with who and where they go for their education and what sort of education they get when they're there and all sorts of other things.

I suppose I just got confused because I spent too long in a country where most people only have access to a tiny proportion of the amount of money that many people here in London and Cambridge have access to. That in itself wasn't the problem though. The problem was that the country where these people live is one of the wealthiest in the whole world in terms of natural resources, yet all they seemed to be able to do with that wealth was to trade it for money. So I got the idea that it is education that is the most important thing, and that restricting good education to just the people who have access to lots of money is not a good way to manage natural resources.

... 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. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
