Another way forward might be to find an instability within the enframing concept that sees humans within nature, or as always already inhuman. Human m...
Think it's hairy->airy which sounds like aerie which is a place where birds are kept. Presumably a joke about how British people are terrible at speak...
I understand a natural right as way people morally ought to be treated based solely on their nature. For people, natural rights are to be derived sole...
What do logic and topology have to say about each other? Specifically; if a logic has a model is there a correspondence between a topological space on...
I would agree that we have obligations to each other in absence of the law, though. And would further stipulate that something being legal is not the ...
The axiom of extensionality defined what it means for two sets to be equal. They were equal if they contained the same things. An analogy - shopping l...
More precisely; people have no rights except for the ones afforded to them by social systems. If you want to know what a person is entitled to in a so...
Bleh, constructing the connection from the set theoretic side is extremely indirect. I think there're three components. (1) Showing that the open sets...
Indeed! The owners of the Dakota Access Pipeline were well within their rights to beat the shit out of protestors and Native American land residents o...
Why do I have to give an account of political legitimacy? I've never been arguing that states or markets are inherently moral institutions, I've been ...
If agency is only applicable to humans, and legal responsibility is only applicable to entities with agency, then agency is only applicable to humans....
I was hoping you'd be able to tell me, as it seems defining what a topology is in terms of the logic is precisely where the missing intuition is. I as...
If we continued with the propositional classical logic in my example, and we have an interpretation from \times_K Q (the symbol set product-ed with it...
Been following along, maybe this helps. I guess if we took \Omega=\{0,1\}, equipped it with the topology T=\{\emptyset, \{0\},\{1\},\{0,1\} \}, with t...
But of course! I can hardly write parables at you and not expect some facetiousness in return. :smile: This is what we are arguing about. Whether we s...
Awww ok then. I was hoping that we might have a parable off. I'm going to assume that you see tax as coercive. Coercive because a government takes stu...
Nah. Did you watch part 2 of that video I linked? Races are "buckets" of people. Let's take "the Aryan race" and "the Jews". The character of a bucket...
I don't think Derrida actually said anything about randomness? There's a very old reading group on the forum for "Voice and Phenomenon" which goes int...
Made a post describing how "chaos" is actually a property of a system here. Other I made in that discussion talk about the role random variables (whic...
Deleted the post since I wanted to explain why I wrote the parable, I thought it would be clear. It's the evening and I decided to write down a parabl...
We just burned all the books that talk about how private property became a thing. How it violates a previous state of unrestricted (or far less restri...
And lo, the prophet spake: "Let it be known that the human will, of sovereign import and power, seeks accord with its other as they are alike in essen...
It would be hard to say that free markets exist when the state has always been involved, no? You're positing "markets" as some imaginary arrangement w...
What you have said functions when aggregate behaviours like negotiations, which are interactions of individuals that output states ("should we all do ...
My intentions are simply to point out that historically, states (and other social institutions) and markets interface strongly. A lot of what social f...
In the complete absence of a state, I don't think currency would function as it does. The social construction of legal tender requires an institution ...
Well, your characterisation of a market is quite limited there. You stipulate under what conditions a market is free, without considering what a marke...
@"Virgo Avalytikh" General question: what kind of markets do you think can exist without governments, and why? The same analysis would hold for firms....
A heuristic I'd follow is about domain expertise. If someone establishes that they are to be trusted about some topic, that need not be transferred to...
The first step is to introduce the relevant symbols for ZFC. It inherits the language and inference rules for first order logic, but it needs to be au...
I think that's the general picture involved with it, yeah. When you fix a starting point (of assumptions), you fix what is necessary for it (what can'...
This speaks about being certain of that which can be stated, not which can be done. I agree entirely here, but still think it is appropriate to associ...
This is a statement that you flip the omelette, not a description of how you flipped the omelette. A description, maybe. But the description is never ...
Is it appropriate to formalise an adjective in that way? As separate from the proposition it applies to? If G is "you are gentle" and M is "you murder...
(A) If someone's a given sex when and only when they have most of the sexual characteristics associated with that sex, then we can't change sexes thro...
It's a general trend that income inequality and social immobility are linearly related. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/The_Great_...
You claimed that some statements don't need justification. Several posts down the road you presented a flawed definition of a theory of justification ...
No, not an expert. I don't need to be an expert to point out an obvious misconstrual of that type of position. If you would provide me with references...
Has lots of flavours. None I'm aware of which substitute in: persons for systems of belief which are held, negotiated and challenged socially. If you ...
