Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality Chapter 1: A Day of Very Low Probability, a harry potter fanfic

Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling owns Harry Potter, and no one owns the methods of rationality. This fic is widely considered to have really hit its stride starting at around Chapter 5. Please visit HPMOR DOT COM for: Reviews make me happy. This is not a strict single-point-of-departure fic - there exists a primary point of departure, at some point in the past, but also other alterations. The text contains many clues: obvious clues, not-so-obvious clues, truly obscure hints which I was shocked to see some readers successfully decode, and massive evidence left out in plain sight.

The story has been corrected to British English up to Ch. 17, and further Britpicking is currently in progress (see the /HPMOR subreddit). All science mentioned is real science.

Since discovering the complete script online, as well as a collection of every daily strip on another website, I knew I could make the two reference each other and therefore create a "Calvin & Hobbes Search Engine" for lack of a better name. So I set out to do it. Currently the search only looks for EXACT phrases (not case sensitive), so if you're looking for a comic with the words "balloon" and "airplane" you cannot enter them both, or it will search for "balloon airplane" together. There is one exception though!

Bad analogies They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup. From the attic came an unearthly howl. Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. He was as tall as a six-foot three-inch tree.

Humanist erhverver reel kompetence En 26-årig idehistorie-studerende fik et chok, da noget, han havde lært på universitetet, viste sig at kunne bruges i den virkelige verden. Martin Blochmann er 26 år og læser idehistorie på tiende semester på Aarhus Universitet. For øjeblikket skriver han på sit speciale ‘Med kaos som endemål: en præliminær klassifikation af neostrukturalistiske træk i det postpolitiske felt mellem Baudrillard og Žižek‘. Indtil nu har han ikke oplevet, at nogen færdigheder eller viden erhvervet på universitetet kunne finde selv den mest obskure anvendelse uden for snævre akademiske kredse. Og det har han det rigtig godt med. “Det, man må forstå er, at de ting vi studerer, er så vigtige, at de ikke kan anvendes til noget som helst uden for de akademiske miljøer. Fik brugbar viden ved et tilfælde Ikke desto mindre fik Martin, midt under en forelæsning, ved et tilfælde erhvervet sig en kompetence, der kan anvendes i praktisk øjemed og sågar af ikke-akademikere.
