I appreciate your articulate encapsulation of this thing which also annoys me! I think partially it’s because a lot of people (such as myself) never get to a point in math education where they learn that “dimensions” are a somewhat arbitrary concept that can be applied to many domains. It certainly comes up in data science from what I gather. But in all seriousness, your breakdown of science in digestible ways is indeed always appreciated.

Seems too cliche for a mysterious object… Singular metal monolith.
One presumes from the monolith networks’ decision in 3001: The Final Odyssey to eliminate humankind to protect the Europans that smarter ≠ wiser. Then again, networks often cancel shows that have jumped the shark.

This made me think of this recent story about installation of nuclear waste markers for future civilizations.
We can now see it might be more a draw than a warning to stay away.

Despite the ethnic humor not holding up so well, I think Albert Brooks’ Defending Your Life is a pretty decent take on it.

This had made my day. How could I not have heard of these guys before?
And to get your files into ‘the cloud’ you need to tie them to a bone and find an ape with good throwing skills
