Those three remarks have left me completely intrigued
Would you recommend an article from James Dolan or someone else that would justify / explain this point of view ? Just so as to see the implications behind the scene
I only have a vague/distant understanding of n-categories as categorical views over categorical constructs up to a n-th level. I vaguely feel this almost like a n-th level meta language over categories, as 2-cells can be seen as Natural Transformation (a special case IIRC), But I don't study or use n-categories yet: still several bits to 'master' more deeply from category theory.
Maybe have you a few sentence insight to illustrate the indexing issue over n-categories that explains this -2 and -1 ?

I'm just interested in the part "Chomsky's school of linguistics is wrong and worthless"
Do you have further factual details? Just so as I can put some "exploratory observations" in my notes about Chomsky's grammars
My knowledge is still partial, and that does not help me much to know only that Chomsky has it all wrong.
His universal grammars and variations for example, seems pretty solid to me (and many other people actually).
Or was it humor?

Just for my culture, what is the difference between #djent and #melodicdeathmetal ?
I only listened to a handful of djent tracks, which I have appreciated in the distant past, and that's what came to my mind when listening to soilwork - The Living Infinite
It's just for my culture, I am not arguing on the correct labeling or not

All of this after your avoiding the central question:
- Is HAMAS a deeply ISLAMIST organisation?
To have intolerant leaders for intolerant people on both sides: it does NOT help any situation
(I have avoided giving any % of intolerance, nor any ranking systems)

1. Ok, Nazis claimed that their IDEOLOGY was christian
2. But not mentionning distorted white-centered racist ANTHROPOLOGY, "Jewish Science" burnt books versus "Hitler's Secret Weapons Science: the atomic bomb", and also Nazi Engineering and Nazi Management when dealing about Nazis and History, with a focus only on religion... that makes me want to stop this discussion instantly
Sorry, maybe I would have be more open another day.
I agree that international law must be strengthened.
International stupidity should be weakened too. Maybe international human stupidity was there much before international laws: My suggestion.

A couple of days ago I have seen a dataviz graph counting the number of deaths because of ideology, namely Nazism, Stalinism, and Maoism
I think they were biased, but the amount of victims was so huge, that I take your remark as a joke
And I consider politicians as false prophets that promise heaven and bring hell on earth
I am as terrified by Faith in Marx, in Stalin or as in living or non-living, fiction or non-fiction character
If International Law is the law of Fossil Fuel Industry, I do not care about the wording of your religious faith expressed at the end your last toot ;-)
I hope you understand my relativizing things / changing perspective

I think it has a lot to do with the difference between Palestine Hamas and Islam, between Israel Israelians and Jews, between Citizens Countries and Government and Religions, and how many politicians PLAY with the vagueness between such concepts and their meaning
You will have hard time though convincing me a Law Book is not a Religious Book, as well as Religious Books not being Law Books
But if you and I agree that both Israelian integrists and Hamas integrists belong to The Hague... then we probably agree on the essential.

Maybe being pro-Hamas instead of pro-Palestine has the consequence of focussing on the Hamas message which is: ISRAEL CANNOT EXISTS
I don't take side: I say this is however a very deeply different message from Palestinian Authority's
I am not an expert on the topic, at all. But I am only interested in factual details.
For example: I have read parts of the Quran, which states in 2nd Surat Al-Baqarah: Jews, Nazarei, Sabatei, for they are people of the Book, they shall not fear the ending times since God recognize ALL of them
Funnily, IIRC, it's even Moses himself that talks to Muhammad during this Surat.
(This is only my distant memory from the reading, this wording is most probably not totally accurate, but this sentence was strong enough: I made my point of view on any form of Islamism - discussion closed(almost))
I am tempted to think Hamas is an Islamist group
