Well, at least you're 'literate enough' to read a calendar, lil troll.

UK Royal Astronomer, Sir Martin Rees and I seem to be on the same page (more or less): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/30/space-bil...

:clap: :100: Well then, at the very least, the correlation between 'laissez-faire' and 'plutocracy' is (almost) +1 and so "how the former leads to the...

Cite an example of laissez-faire nation-state that isn't, in effect, a plutocracy / oligopoly.

The Sun is made of baryonic matter. Whatever dark matter is made of, it's not made of baryons. Thus, grammar & logic are indispensable. A question for...

I'm saying your question is incoherent. "Rules apply" to maps (e.g. theoretical models) and not to the territory (e.g. "dark matter and physical laws"...
April 30, 2022 at 20:41
I'm not following you. We make maps of the terrority. We don't make (determine) the territory itself; thus, there are no "set of rules" for making (de...
April 30, 2022 at 20:19
You dont. One applies rules grammar and logic to one's descriptions / explanations of e.g. "dark matter and physical laws".

No, much earlier. The French Revolution (1789), "left-right" refers to respective seating areas of rival ideologues in the National Assembly. https://...

They weren't ever leftist regimes or states. Both were totalitarian nationalist regimes (i.e. militarist (rightist) command economies) :sweat: No, you...

Grammar (semantics). Logic (LNC).

No, they both began as dictatorships. Mao & Lenin, respectively.

My quick & dirty: • rightism advocates exclusive shareholder control of government, business, media and culture (e.g. oligopoly/plutocracy) mostly man...

Oh, right, and finance isn't applied math. :roll:
April 30, 2022 at 02:56
So, for example, financial redlining, which long predates "Ethnic Studies", isn't systemic racial discrimination?

Denied. :rofl: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics

You can't be that stupid. Go troll somewhere else.

Even if that's true, your claim suggests a genetic fallacy ... Big whup, Your Wokeness.

How a tool is used can be "racist" (or some other exploitative/discriminatory "x–ist") like for instance financial redlining, not the mere tool itself...

Well, "God" is the ur-"incoherent concept" (i.e. empty name), no?

A non-authoritarian, inclusive commons, participatory order is "anarchy", no?
