I suspect there are models in which there are intermediate cardinalities.

Maybe they would in overall introverted societies like Finland. Wonder if this is qualified in/by Hofstadter.

I stopped getting blank stares when I stopped referring to comedian "Carrot Top" as "Carrot Cake". My bad.

I can't tell what will happen 3 years down the road. Alvin Toffler in overdrive.

I bet the list of predictions that were right is much shorter.

Wonder how the ratio of men to women vary with age, maybe excluding periods with major wars. Will look it up tomorrow.

Hmm, I'm hungry. Let's see what's in the fridge: Steak, chicken, fruit, pancakes. No, let me have some rare earth toys.....

Wonder how Nassim Taleb of "Fooled by Radomness" fame will respond to the discovery of Benjamini-Hochberg n controlling the family-wise error rate. I only read the paper, which won a prize in 2024, very lightly.

I confusingly mixed up finite with infinite- and half-infinite intervals. My bad.

Yes, except I was referring to infinite intervals. I thought of expanding on the idea into compactification would help illustrate the point.

Ok, valid point, I missspoke. I was thinking about infinite intervals, but didn't make it clear.

Just what is it you're skeptical about @PeroK ?

I think there's no such thing as the middle/midpoint of an open interval in the Standard Real line. Maybe in the 1- or 2- point compactification. But a closed interval does have a midpoint. Maybe using Hausdorff distance, though. Interesting question.

The double hashes do code Latex.
