Hi.
I'm morally against ads. I think advertising is deceptive manipulation designed to create needs that don't need to exist. I think advertising is a big component of the capitalist society that is bringing this planet to ecological ruin.

I don't see why the wine/water paradox should be a paradox. It seems clear that the logarithm of the wine/water ratio is in the range \(-\log(3)\) to \(\log(3)\) and the a priori distribution should be uniform on that interval.
