Well, I started to try out this #HomerView application, and the one word that best describes it is #Counterintuitive. I'm thinking for one, this was created by an NVDA snob who kind of threw us JAWS users kind of a bone. I say this becaus of the fact when I tried installing the full application, I had to unload JAWS an load NVDA, just to get thatNVDA addon installed, before it installed such things as the user guide and pdf reader.

Interesting paper from 2012 (and how much has changed since then?): "swing voters" might not actually exist, or at least not in any meaningful numbers. This paper makes a case that "swing voters" are an illusion created by the research methods and statistics used by polling organizations.

Math makes ‘obvious’ things false. Imagine an object with finite volume but infinite surface area. Gabriel’s Horn is an interesting and beautiful object with infinite space but finite volume. It is explained as “you can’t finish Gabriel’s Horn when you want to paint it, but if you put this much paint in it, you can fill it so that it will be painted.” It is formed by rotating the \(y=\frac1x\) graph around the x-axis. There is a nice demonstrative project on Wolfram Alpha about Gabriel’s Horn. [Link: https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/GabrielsHorn/] Also, if you want to read more about “Paradoxes of the Infinite”, you can check Paolo Mancosu’s book, Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century.

I really loved Seth Stephens-Davidowitz's book, "Everybody Lies." I'm now struggling to read his new book, "Don't Trust Your Gut," but am finding book's title SO OFF-PUTTING. Alas.
