Btw, I'd suggest to install deepseek (or any other model) locally so that you don't give your data for free to others (also for security reasons).
Take advantage that it is a free/open software and somewhat easy to install.

I hardly can see how the theory of value is highly flawed.
How is it possible to have gains in value that requires zero labor without having something shady behind it?
I'm not trying to introduce a novel concept.
I'm trying to bring up to the forefront the old concept surplus value from Karl Marx.
money isn't just a replacement for battered goods, but also a way to precify the value of work.
Work is the real value that runs through the world.
Now, when we talk about taxing the rich, we are talking about the State getting back the value of our work (money) that the rich stole from us by underpaying our jobs.
And for those who says "The rich will move their riches to a country that pays less taxes", I must remind you again that these riches can only be generated through work.
Tax the rich means taxing their companies and stores as well
It means not letting them have half a trillion of a surplus value that they stole from all of us (because one way or another, we are "working" for them even if by something as stupid as writing a comment on a social media).
And if, supposedly, the company desires to shutdown their factories here, the State must simply buy it and reopen the factories (maybe under another company that, but still with the state as the main "shareholder").
What makes the factories produce goods is not a rich man with billions of dollars.
What make the goods exist is the working from man and woman in these factories.
And doing so, the company that left will also leave the internal market share where they were profiting over us, but yet, the market share will still exist and be filled by those from within the state-company.

What about Putin and Trump working together the rhetoric of nuclear deterrence?
IIRC, Russia+USA = 90% of all nuclear weapons in the world.
A big whammy hammer if they (hypothetically) fight together.
how much money would be worth if every person on earth ceased to exist?
What would happen with the economy in this scenario?
Quick question:
how much money would be worth if every person on earth ceased to exist?
Money has no value by itself.
If all humans died today (thanos snap with 100%), the paper-money would still exist, but would you (your ghost, I mean) say that a 100 dollars still holds value in an earth devoid of humans?
I will argue for no. Without humans, money has no value.
Money is the value being priced on labor-hours that was stolen by someone.
When an ultra rich move their assets outside, they are moving the stolen hours.
But even if he didn't move those stolen hours outside, they would still be stolen hours.
Keeping the ultra-rich in our country is enabling the thief that keeps stealing us.
The true value is made by those who work the fields, academy, construction and all other sectors that keep society working.
The people living on a country and the sites/places/plot of lands can't be moved overseas.
The rich must choose between getting his money out of high taxes and keeping his access to a country's internal market if he decides to remove all of his investing (including machinery/real state investment) from a given country.
Is 16 GB still in the market? I mostly find 32 or 64 GB for usb-stick.
8GB is pretty much dead nowadays (and so is CD/DVD)

What tools to to replace math work besides calculator?
Mathematica is one example that solves integrals and do some elementary proof run-down for you.
Granted that it is used mostly by STEM students. But I rarelly see someone totally forbiding the use of Mathematica as learning tool.
If you want a more High-school tool, then geogebra is another great example (and also opensource.
Pretty useful to plot the graphs and help you see what you're getting wrong.
I'm answering just to show that there are indeed mathematical tools used for the inbetween of a full math major and a "paltry peasant" that only needs to compute a good enough function for his problem be it an engineer working beams load, a chemist working enthalpy reactions or an biologist trying to find an EDO that best fits the data of prey/predator in a given ecosystem.
