Edward Frenkel on Jungian Archetypes in Mathematics

Or maybe it's the other way around? Jung apparently recognised natural numbers as an archetype. He didn't go so far as to recognise Universal Properties as another, but maybe that was just because of a lack of suitable language.

Welsh Republic Podcast Talking With Kars Collective on Armenia Azerbaijan Conflict

Image
  In the last 30 hours, Azerbaijan has blocked the Berdzor Corridor (the only route in and out of Artsakh), established a military police presence, threatened to shoot any flying object leaving the capital Stepanakert, and has now cut the gas supply. This is now a blockage. — Kars Collective (Կարսի Կոլեկտիվ) (@KarsCollective) December 13, 2022 Subscribe to Welsh Republic Podcast .

Daniel Tubbenhauer on The Riemann Hypothesis and Prime Counting

He calls this lecture series The Analytic Theory of Monoidal Categories. So this is Analytic Number Theory with a Category Theoretic slant. This lecture is about graph theory. At 16:22 he asks for ideas: See the video description and  Standard ML For The Lady Programmer .
