In principle, able-bodied males must do military service to protect the borders of the territory and lower its internal levels of random violence. If ...
Well, I do not "belong" to a society. I am the property of our beloved Master, the Almighty Lord, Creator of the heavens and the earth. Furthermore, I...
Any personal liability is always to be limited to an explicitly-stated maximum burden. Unlimited liabilities must obviously be rejected. Otherwise, it...
As a matter of principle, I do not take responsibility beyond what the scriptures mandate. All unilateral personal financial obligations to the wider ...
Extensive egalitarianism works for relatively small communities. It does not scale, however. From some larger scale on, you need to switch to tit-for-...
The requirement of having a base case, is a well-known problem: In mathematics and computer science, a class of objects or methods exhibits recursive ...
Well, according to the Quran, one's unilateral financial obligation to society is limited to the size of the mandatory charity levy, which is 2.5% of ...
The concept of the Book of Life or the Preserved Tablet was inherited by all three offshoots of Second-Temple Judaism. An interesting mention is how i...
It is not necessarily libertarian. For example, the fifth Biblical commandment says: "Honor thy father and thy mother." So, you could accept that, and...
The cardinality of an infinite set ("aleph") is indeed formally not a Galois field. What I was saying, isn't a formal argument. I was just pointing ou...
I seriously object to the use of the term "contract" in this context. The act of merely being born somewhere does not amount to signing a contract. Th...
The real problem is the eternally faulty epistemic stance of the populace of retarded imbeciles in the West. They do not believe something because of ...
It is not really "Hamas rule" that would make sense. It is rather: using Hamas to prevent the emergence of 2000+ Libyan-style militias. Furthermore, t...
Hamas will inevitably agree to the restoration of the Ottoman millets. They have no choice in that matter, because it is the Quran which mandates the ...
The seemingly "superhuman powers" are just part of the survivor bias. The weak who got weeded out have zero visibility. That is what gives the impress...
In my opinion, the representatives of the apartheid State of Israhell should be remanded to sit at the negotiation table with Hamas, to discuss the on...
You know, when you ban the Jews from lots of professions and jobs, as they used to do before the French Revolution, it will make a large number of Jew...
Ludwig Wittgenstein was apparently one of Bertrand Russell's favourite students: His teacher, Bertrand Russell, described Wittgenstein as "perhaps the...
Rabbinic Judaism is first and foremost a religion, i.e. one of the three offshoots that survived the destruction of second-temple Judaism by the Roman...
The definition: n>1: n! = n * (n-1)! n=1: n! = 1 is indeed somehow circular, but that is the essence of recursion. It works absolutely fine. Wittgenst...
In terms of "skin in the game", it is the same problem. There are people who clamour for arbitrary enforcement action against other people, but who do...
F(F(x)) is allowed only if the co-domain is equal to or a subset of the domain of F(x). Beyond that, I don't see what the problem is with the repeated...
There is something very important missing in this equation, namely the requirement to put skin in the game. That is why Roosevelt's decision to instru...
Epistemology (/??p?st??m?l?d?i/ (About this soundlisten); from Greek ????????, epist?m?, meaning 'knowledge', and -logy) is the branch of philosophy c...
Matthew 5:5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. We do not descend from the upper classes of the past. Why Millennials Refuse to G...
Genesis 3:16. To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desi...
The first problem is, of course: What is the definition of "capitalism"? It is often confused with (free) trade, commerce, and the resulting trend to ...
Finite fields (in which arithmetic is permitted) must have a prime-power size. Therefore, there tend to be gaps between permissible calculation field ...
Any link to such association? According to Cantor's theory, the infinities (Beth numbers) (or Aleph numbers) are a series of successive numbers, with ...
House construction work is relatively well manageable as projects. You start, you build, and you finish within a particular time frame and budget. Cor...
Well, the very concept of "project" is a problem. In a successful "project", 80+% of the cost will be incurred during later maintenance. Of course, mo...
In my opinion, "agile" is epistemically worthless. If knowledge is a justified belief, then the very last industry that feels the need to come up with...
You can't. You can try to make sure, however, that it does not matter either. As long as what you really try to get out of the situation, are verifiab...
Metaphysics are presuppositionist views about the real, physical world. I agree with the logical positivists that a priori knowledge about the real, p...
The most intolerant wins. For a plethora of reasons, the side which wants to use coercion in order to limit population growth is in a strategically ba...
Morality does indeed also deal with conflict resolution. Making victims while breaking moral rules creates the issue of victim compensation. I don't s...
Morality is about self-discipline, i.e. about what you feel that you should be doing. It is never about what other people should be doing. That is not...
Concerning "Software development philosophies", they tend to be epistemic considerations, but not very rigorous at that. Furthermore, their applicabil...
Yes, that is a better page. Unfortunately, all it really says, is: There is still no common understanding of the content, aim, focus, or topic of the ...
If X is the secret and Y is the public key, then A would be some kind of generator of sorts. That would require that each non-zero element of the doma...
There's a stack exchange discussion on this question, "In cryptography, why do we reduce elliptic curves over finite fields?". ECC over infinite field...
That could amount to giving unilateral hamlet-style sharing rights to everybody else on your income and/or assets. It certainly works in relatively sm...
Yes, they certainly exist. That is the kind that will assimilate, i.e. disappear in the night of history. They will not be around as a separate identi...
Italians and Irish may want to preserve their attachment to Catholic religion, but marrying any Catholic spouse would do, who would not even need to b...
I doubt that African-Americans want "assimilation". Well, not sure. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. The Jews certainly don't want it. They must like ...
African-Americans were not in the driver's seat in that respect. They did not choose to identify according to race. That decision was clearly made for...
I certainly agree with that. In my impression, it is indeed not possible to use infinity in every slot where you can fit finite numbers. Concerning "-...
