Who cares what lurks in the hearts of men?   Certainly not the behaviorist!

Only I know your intentions, Frank.  How many times to I have to tell you that.  

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men; the behaviorist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow> # knows. HOO-HAA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA.“ 

 

# (adopting Glen’s practice) The introductory line from the radio adaptation of The Shadow – "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" - spoken by actor  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Readick> Frank Readick, has earned a place in the  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English> American  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom> idiom. These words were accompanied by an  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ominous_laugh> ominous laugh and a musical theme,  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Saint-Sa%C3%ABns> Camille Saint-Saëns' Le Rouet d'Omphale ("Omphale's Spinning Wheel," composed in 1872).  Thanks to Wikipedia.

I did not bully you, Jon.  I asked you some questions whose answers I really don't know.

 

In a good world those questions might lead you to insights that we can all benefit from.

 

I am sorry you feel bullied.  I know my intentions.

 

Frank

Also, for those that are unfamiliar with how adjoint functors come into the picture, here is something I wrote for my website on adjoint functors for dynamical systems:

The graphs produced directly via this code:

https://github.com/jonzingale/jonzingale.github.io/tree/master/dynamical-monads/hs

 

Now, for those that have read and did the exercises in the Arbib and Manes classic "Arrows, Structures and Functors", you know that certain optimization problems like reachability and observability are dual concepts. Starting around page 100

 

"""

Inspection of 9 and 12 may suggest to the astute reader that reachability and observability are dual concepts, in the categorical sense of the term. This is indeed so -- and for a class of machines broader than the sequential machines....

"""

 

So come on, let's act as if we can all still read and treat each other with some amount of grace. I have quite a lot to do this week, I would prefer not to be bullied. Since Frank *does* know me, he should know better.
