what if thermodynamics came before mathematics? does it seem utterly absurd? but maybe, just maybe, some find the concept of death more intuitive than rings of integrers. In short, by adding thermodynamic limits to abstract math, we’re introducing algebra to its first existential crisis...
If you're looking for impact as a new account some context might be useful.
eg: are you in fact a HN account of the actual Konrad Wojnowski, alleged author of Probabilistic Aesthetics of the Avant-Gardes and reportedly:
Assistant Professor of Performativity Studies, Jagiellonian University, Poland.
His research interests include performativity theory, philosophy of communication, the impact of media and technology on culture and, more recently, the relationship between aesthetics and epistemology. He published two books in Polish: *The Aesthetics of Disturbance* (Księgarnia Akademicka 2012), on the cinema of Michael Haneke, and *Useful Disasters* (Universitas 2016), on the performative power of catastrophes in contemporary network culture, as well as multiple texts in Polish and English-language scientific journals.
He headed two research grants provided by the National Science Centre (PRELUDIUM and SONATA programmes) and was awarded the prize for best young scientists by the Foundation for Polish Science.
I only mention this as the manner in which you've thrown up some of his material over the past two days hasn't garnered much traction.
yes that is me, but my understanding of my life path is to actually pay less attention to hierarchies, where i work, what my "achievements" - which never resonated with me in the first place and even lost further value when i was unofficially pronounced medically "dead" from cancer with metasthases no treatment options 2,5 years ago - were, where do i come from. i am new here, a friend of mine mentioned this place as friendly and open-minded, because i wanted to share with others what i co-invented by accident or by fate. i find it interesting and maybe even transformative in many ways: from scientific to deeply cultural. it never occured to me that my bio would be of interest to anyone. i tried making jokes about my contributions, sparking interest that way. but maybe it might be interesting? I will add some bio and a link to a story in which i give my best to explain what i am doing here, how did i get here, and what is this weird thing i am doing.
No drama, I look at "green" accounts (your name will change colour after a while) and work out if they're here to engage or just here to market, scam, join an upvote brigade, etc.
I wasn't so much suggest that you display your bio, more teasing out a human response and giving other HN users something to read who might o/wise rapidly skip over your comments & submissions without seeing anything to engage with.
There's a broad range of people here, some enjoy a bit of fun and kookiness, some are serious about (say) fintech to the exclusion of all else.
Thanks for the advice about the math thread! And a wise remark that I should be able to address as many people as I can.
However, the drama thing… if you’ll find time to read that one text below, you’ll see that maybe it’s not a matter of choice. To drama or not to drama - that isn’t even a question!

There's a math crowd that ranges from serious to surreal, you can find them in threads such (random recent math thread) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41962944
