Glad to find you on Bluesky :-) I hope you're doing wonderfully!

There is continuity in the turtle interest--I wrote an essay in senior year about Marianne Moore: www.listsofnote.com/p/utopian-tu...

My latest rabbit related interest is hare snails as an icon illustrating "festina lente"

Omg! Related rad variant I saw in the airport, is a kids' suitcase with a scooter attached. Maybe the general lesson is they should start making adult versions of kids suitcases

2. w is a big wrong: consider a set W' = W-{w} \cup {w*}. By inductive hypothesis, it could not be that W', which is of size n+1, fixed any wrongs. But since big wrongs are always wrong, committing w could not fix W' and again n+2 wrongs do not make n+1 rights.

1. w is a little wrong: there are at least 2 little wrongs in W (since w was maximally wrong). Combining them into one macro-wrong m, let W' = W - {w, w'} \cup {w*}. |W'|=n so by i.h., m does not fix it. But as W' and m = W and w* then w* could not fix W either, so n+2 wrongs don't fix n+1 wrongs.

suppose that n+1 wrongs does not ever fix n wrongs. consider any set of n+1 wrongs W and any additional n+2th wrong w*. Order W by wrongness and pick max w\in W. It is well known there is a threshold of wrongness at which a wrong graduates from a "little" to a "big" wrong. So consider two cases:
