given a solid post in 3‑dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the post into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original post

yeah this

it's just another manifestation of in-group bias that's a holdover from when we all lived in little tribes and competition for resources was intense so of course we were supposed to favour people with similar genetics to ourselves

it's a constant battle trying to suppress those instincts but you've gotta do it

A few years back, a war correspondent friend of mine gave a speech about Bosnia to an international relations department at a famous Midwestern university. I went with him. After he finished, a group of hangers-on, all men except for me, stuck around to debate the finer points of the former Yugoslavia. The conversation was very detailed, including references to specific mayors of specific Croatian villages. It was like record collector geek talk, only about Bosnia. They were the record collectors of Bosnia. So they went on denouncing the various idiotic nationalist causes of various splinter groups, blaming nationalism itself for the genocidal war. And of course a racist nationalism is to blame. But the more they ranted, the more uncomfortable I became. They, many of them immigrants themselves, considered patriotic allegiance to be a sin, a divisive, villainous drive leading to exclusion, hate, and murder. I, heretofore silent, spoke up. I said that I had recently flown over Memphis, Tennessee. I said that the idea of Memphis, Tennessee, not to mention looking down at it, made me go all soft. Because I looked down at Memphis, Tennessee, and thought of all my heroes who had walked its streets. I thought of Sun Records, and of the producer Sam Phillips. Sam Phillips, who once described the sort of person he recorded as �a person who had dreamed, and dreamed, and dreamed.� A person like Elvis Presley, his funny bass player Bill Black, his guitarist Scotty Moore (we have the same birthday he and I.) Jerry Lee Lewis. Carl Perkins. Hello, I�m Johnny Cash. I told the Bosnian record collectors that when I thought of the records of these Memphis men, when I looked out the window at the Mississippi mud and felt their names moistening my tongue what I felt, what I was proud to feel, was patriotism. I noticed one man staring at me. He said he was born in some something-istan I hadn�t heard of. Now that my globe is permanently turned to that part of the world, I realize he was talking about Tajikistan, the country bordering Afghanistan. The man from Tajikistan looked me in the eye and delivered the following warning.

�Those,� he said of my accolades for Elvis and friends, �are the seeds of war.�

I laughed and told him not to step on my blue suede shoes, but I got the feeling he wasn�t joking.
