Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast live stream 311, I think.

311.

311 and it's an awesome number.

Yes, that it is.

Where would we be without it?

It is not only a prime.

Yes.

It is a permutable prime.

This thanks to one of our locals people. Thank you. I'm not going to mention you because I don't know if I should. A permutable prime. You know what a permutable prime is? Wait. It's going to derive from permutation. Absolutely. And it... Also called an absolute prime, incidentally, but you're not going to know the door. Oh, it's the kind of prime of which there is one per mutation.

Yeah. It also called an absolute prime, incidentally, but you're not going to know the door. Oh, it's the kind of prime of which there is one per mutation.

No.

No. All right. That was a little overly biological. But.

And overly like literal with regard to the etymology per mutation.

Yeah. I don't know. In what way can it be permuted? All of the digits. So 311 is where we're at, right? 311. You can rearrange those digits in any way you want and you still have a prime. That's lucky. That's cool, right? And it's, I mean, it's a, it's a little bit of a cheat because two of the digits are the same in this case. So it's not as many

permutations as it might be. But 311, 131, 113, 113, here we are permutable prime.

There you go. All right. That's cool. I think it's cool. Yeah. That's where we are. You are.

I am, Dr. Brett Weinstein. You are Dr. Heather Heying, if I remember correctly. Yes. And you should know by now. I'm, you know, the thing is one has to have a proper level of skepticism about their own conclusions. Everything is provisional. Including, for instance, how many noses one has. Exactly. I mean, you're not in a good position to know. It depends on a lot of assumptions about the way mirrors work, how other people react, that sort of thing. This just happens to be an issue that you keep reminding our children of that when they make new friends, they should make sure that they have the usual number of noses. And if not, that's suggestive of something else bigger underneath.

I don't suggest that they shouldn't befriend people with an unusual number.

It's that they should make note of the fact that they have done so.

All right.

This is going to make no sense to anyone else.

It barely makes sense to us.
