I was just on the site and there was a registration button. I clicked it and filled in my info and now it's gone. Hmmm..

I wonder if I'll need to register again?

One Andrew Marvell's peers was John Donne, who wrote "Holly Sonnet 10". I wonder if this the "the 10th" that she is refering to in her video.
John Donne wrote:HOLY SONNETS.

X.

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ;
For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy picture[s] be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou'rt slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better than thy stroke ; why swell'st thou then ?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Death shall be no more ; Death, thou shalt die.
As for the line...

If squared refers to the number two and we are looking for a two world solution for the above anagram, then I get only one

Other peer = John Milton

"[Andrew Marvell] helped convince the government of Charles II not to execute John Milton for his antimonarchical writings"

Danaus plexippus = monarch butterfly

Did anyone notice the tags on the vid?

"Meta"

And I see no tags relating to LG15 at all.

I did a quick search for Aristotle's second and found mention of his "second man" argument, but I can't figure out what that is.

The thing I found was Aristotles second law which is:

A must be either A or not A.

The article also quotes aristotle in saying "the most indisputable of all beliefs is that contradictory statements are not true at the same time".

This seems connected to Godel and to Quantum mechanics to me. It seems to be tied to paradoxes.

Quantum Mechanics doesn't obey Aristotles Second Law

Anyone else get chills at the "we want to welcome you. Let us." part? Or am I just jumpy after reading too much Cassie stuff? :P

This is kind of fun to believe and play along.

I like watching the page change and be edited...first it said classes would begin tomorrow (Saturday), now it says Sunday. And first it had a link to the problem to solve, now there is none.

I'm stupid or what? I can't find where you register on the web site? Does that mean I'm not smart enough to join HSA? :oops:
