Well, no. Many of these guys only stay alpha for the time that it lasts. At some point, they will just have to revert to what other men have to do, i....

Well, the general case is that you pretty much always pay for it. Case 1. A keeper. You will end up giving her money for household expenses. In the lo...

Yes, I see now, what Gitman wrote, is an extension of the signature, and therefore of the language of the theory. If it is a countable model then the ...

Well, according to the red-pill philosophy only 20% of the men are alphas, i.e. men with whom available women are happy to have sex for free. Most men...
February 28, 2020 at 18:49
Well, Gitman clearly mentions that she considers a model to be (some kind of) language: slide 10: "Expand LA by adding a constant c to obtain the lang...

"Free" is never really "free" when it is about sex. The other side usually has possibly hidden expectations. When these expectations are not fulfilled...

In terms of biology, I consider that to be low-value and even possibly worthless behaviour, and certainly not something to brag about. I do understand...
February 28, 2020 at 17:25
This is the point where I somehow backtracked on what Gitman wrote, while I initially thought it was actually really good. I really ran off with the i...
February 28, 2020 at 17:17
For now. In our species, mankind, that kind of behaviour is widely considered to be mostly a waste of time. It is understandable behaviour but it is n...

Agreed. It is great! Phnom Penh and Kampot are also superb. Fifteen minutes across the Vietnamese border from Kampot, you are in Ha Tien, Vietnam, whi...

1. Cambodia 2. Vietnam 3. Philippines All three countries are fantastic in their own special way. I rarely hang out in Thailand, though. The last time...

Not true. MRA do, but MGTOW don't. MGTOW are simply bailing out. They do not ask for anything to change. It just reflects the growing trend of men bai...
February 28, 2020 at 14:51
MRAs are not the same as MGTOW. Furthermore, rights are not something the monarch gives you but something that you extract at gunpoint. Hence, it is m...

They do. Atheists are hellbent on imposing their views onto others under the nomer of "human rights". So, these "activists" want "to guarantee that ci...

It is about what the secularists-atheists try to replace religious systems by. It is exactly because their views are not a legitimate system and just ...
February 28, 2020 at 06:11
And against statism too. Now, I do not believe at all that atheists should become religious or adopt the self-discipline of religious law. They can ob...
February 28, 2020 at 05:55
I use the term "cultural Marxism" as a blanket reference to the vague collection of ideologies that emerges from atheism and that rejects the requirem...

In mathematics it is relatively easy to find the basic rules of a theory structured as axioms. The following are the dominant axiomatizations in mathe...

Rollo Tomassi is quite deep. His website, the rational male, certainly is. There are actually quite a few of these websites. They also have elaborate ...

I resolutely refuse to criticize MGTOW men. They do not want to have relationships because of the gynocentric court system and because they believe th...

She extends the language of the model in slide 10: "Expand LA by adding a constant c to obtain the language LA? = (+,·,<,0,1,c)." The term "language" ...
February 27, 2020 at 05:42
I like the term "culturally Marxist" because that is exactly what it is. I don't care who else adopted the term. If the Neo-Nazis adopted the term "ye...
February 27, 2020 at 05:18
I asked you what is wrong with Victoria Gitman's slides. You can find that literally in her slides. Did you even look at them? I like her slides. Unli...
February 27, 2020 at 05:08
No, it is a philosophical explanation for why we adopt axioms. It is not an axiom itself.
February 27, 2020 at 05:00
This is typically represented by adding a symbol ?. If such model were of countable size then adding that symbol would be enough to represent these ad...
February 27, 2020 at 00:24
Many infinite-size models cannot be handled by any grammar, because their sentences are necessarily countable, while these models may not have a count...
February 26, 2020 at 18:39
The confusion is merely in the lack of formality; but that was actually expected by the reader. Furthermore, what you write, does not necessarily help...
February 26, 2020 at 18:35
That would be impossible in computer science. Computer science can fundamentally not handle infinite cardinalities, because they are generally not com...
February 26, 2020 at 18:32
I only get to figure that out by actually doing it. If I don't do it, then I will never figure out what the problems are, not even the problems with t...
February 26, 2020 at 18:22
It is not a "proof" as meant by proof theory. For that purpose, you first need to list the axioms in your theory. Next, you need to show that what you...
February 26, 2020 at 18:11
A nonstandard model is created by throwing a symbol ? into the fray; the result of which is the creation of lots of new sentences in such extended gra...
February 26, 2020 at 18:08
In terms of computability, it is not incorrect. Computability cannot handle full ZFC. In computability, everything is fundamentally just a natural num...
February 26, 2020 at 17:58
I thought that this was clear by clearly mentioning what set theory it is about. "The set theory" in my post is indeed "the theory of hereditarily fin...

The original paper by Richard Kaye and Tin Lok Wong says: In my impression, it means that the induction-complete notion of infinity ("axiom of infinit...

All life fundamentally chooses to have offspring. That is why it still exists in the first place. Not necessarily. I can give you a simple counterexam...

I think that it does not even matter which society is best. In my opinion, you can always personally succeed, as long as you do not adopt its standard...

Religious people, such as myself, believe that prayer is a much more effective cure to mental issues than most approaches in psychiatry (but probably ...
February 26, 2020 at 15:47
It is clearly an ideology but not a necessary one. You can happily adopt a completely different view and function perfectly well inside that society. ...
February 26, 2020 at 15:39
A formal language is a class of sentences, just like a model-theoretical model is. Such classes can be isomorphic. This is very possible. For example,...
February 26, 2020 at 15:17
That is the standard model and therefore the standard formal language of ZF-?, essentially unique only up to isomorphism. Therefore, { 2, 4 } is a leg...

According to Islamic law, everybody who declares that he is a Muslim, is effectively a Muslim. In theory, you may have to declare this before an alim,...

I very rarely use Java, C# or C++, even though I should probably be more open concerning Java in Android development. I tend to use a combo of scripti...
February 26, 2020 at 13:39
It is the standard in Islam. Islamic law ("al fiqh") does not advocate to separate children based on religion for non-religious subjects. Therefore, c...

War and breakdowns in law and order are very similar in terms of how young, testosterone-filled males behave. So, they may even actively want to cause...

A software engineer. Math is more of a hobby, actually. I would never have studied it at uni. Math is fun, intriguing, and surprising but not vocation...
February 26, 2020 at 07:23
No, it is just standard epistemology. We just look at how beliefs can be objectively justified, and if they can't, then it is ideology and not knowled...
February 26, 2020 at 06:00
That is a typical culturally-Marxist view on masculinity. The simplest solution to fix the problem is conclude that the ongoing experiment of co-educa...
