  • Let F be a geometric object and let C be the set of counterexamples.

    F is a True Fractal ⟺ F satisfies all properties P₁, P₂, …, Pₙ

    Where for each counterexample c ∈ C that satisfies P₁…Pₙ: Define Pₙ₊₁ := “is not like c”

    The definition recurses infinitely as new counterexamples emerge.

    Corollary: Coastlines exhibit fractal properties at every scale… except they don’t, because [insert new property], except that’s also not quite right because [insert newer property], except actually [insert even newer property]…

  • Isn’t this how some people at like, a very high level, were communicating??

    Like it wasn’t in excel, but they had an e-mail account which they both had access to, and would just edit drafts back and forth instead of sending.

    How do you know Kelly Rowland isn’t just texting back and forth with a high level CIA operative and is engaging in quality opsec?
