But on the plus side, awesomely good session! Efficient, nice vibe, 5 sets/hr...now I only need some living digits

@arcana @eemmaa @lunarised i agree with this

@lunarised but saying "X" and "I believe X" are the same thing, right

@lunarised well, I believe it is

@ben but i don't know much about this, and it's a good question

@ben My best guess is that they know a lot about how similar contemporary societies (e.g. hunter-gatherers) behave, and that religion is very infused into many activities we consider secular. Those societies are doing worshipful-X instead of just-X.

I'd guess the fandom-forming instinct also exists in many other societies, but there it's channeled into religion. So Funko-pops might be descirbed as semi-religious objects?

@tef subcase of proth primes

@tef off-by-one powers of two in the factorizations of off-by-one powers of two

@tef i wanna figure out whether this is a statistical pattern now

@tef factors into Mersenne primes but moee often into 2^n+1, which doesn't have a name afaik?

@tef pattern appears a lot in powers of two of powers of two, but not reliable
