People who talk politics talk out of their ears. Ears, I say. You can hear it almost every time.
As far as the eye can see, I am the only being posting from the outer surface of a remarkable Dyson sphere enclosing the sun 1 AU in radius in AD 2,000,000,015, where the horizon is somewhat more than 400,000 USA miles away. Taking the long view, I note that "all politics is local" according to ancient theorists, and I can nowhere see Scotland on this Dyson sphere, i.e., it is beyond half a million miles away, somewhere. I am a very minor mathematician on Sundays, and your garden variety math person tends to be wildly liberal, so I statistically might swarm with Stephen were he here and one could see Scotland, somewhere. If the Dyson sphere were really flat, we could see Scotland, even if it looked very small.
