4 Factors 

According to AI

1. Purpose and Character of the Use: This factor considers whether the use is transformative, meaning it adds new meaning, purpose, or message to the original work. Uses like criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research are generally favored. Commercial uses are viewed less favorably, but not automatically ruled out as fair use, according to Emerson College Library.

2. Nature of the Copyrighted Work: The nature of the copyrighted work plays a role. Factual or public documents are more likely to be considered fair use than creative works. For example, using factual information from a book in a news article might be fair use, but using a large portion of a creative novel in a new work might be less likely to be fair use.

3. Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Used: This factor looks at how much of the original work is used. Generally, the less used, the better. Courts also consider whether the portion used is the "heart" of the original work. Using only a small portion or a non-essential part is more likely to be fair use, according to Emory Libraries.

4. Effect of the Use on the Market: This factor considers whether the use harms the market for the original work or any potential markets for it. If the use directly competes with the original work or could potentially harm its future sales, it's less likely to be fair use, according to the University of Washington.
Hym "1. I definitely have an interpretation that adds new meaning (at least as it pertains to the parts of the bible and more broadly Jordan Peterson's work) and I definitely added a new message. Used like criticism. ✔️

2. I use factual work mostly or work put forth as factual. I'll plug some creative work or even use quotes. And I DEFINITELY USE NEWS ARTICLES! That's for sure! ✔️

3. Not much actually. Usually never more than a proposition. But you can't really say Jordan is using Nietzsches work in the "heart." Therefore, my work is in the same "heart" as Jordan's in that regard (all be it in the opposite direction) And you can't say the same about you using MY work because the "heart" of MY work is A. shedding light on the targeted harassment that mirrors the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia I've been subjected to since I was 19 (or sooner) and remediation of this harassment WHICH NONE OF THE MOVIES OR SHOWS ADDRESS AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. B. (And I'm quoting myself here) "Demonstrating my abject superiority to all men, women, and children." Which none of this does. The Anime gets a pass but the rest of you don't. C. Getting myself credit AND MONEY for creating AI. I was explicit. ✔️ for me and not for you.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
