Could you point out a reason why education, which can be standardized at least to a state scale¹, cannot be standardized to the state scale utilizing oral defenses? Also, can be ≠ …

I mean, economics is pretty important for a business, no? The issue with the idealistic "do everything we can" is that we have limits. Money is one of the most, if not _the_ most i…

Huh, haven't looked at it that way. I'm just not sure about the leap from a lack of craving allows us to truly experience the world. As a general rule, I think humans want more. We…

At least for me, the idea of giving up the craving for _everything_ seems to be rather...undesireable. I'd argue that a futile existence, with full knowledge that it is futile but …

Your analogy of divine justice struck me as rather fitting! Before the trial, the magistrate brandishes the cross to Meursault and demands that Meursault believe that he will be fo…

At least from my perspective, the trial is meant to be contrived and a farce. From Meursault's perspective (which I agree that he can be an unreliable narrator) everything happenin…

Rather notably, companies are profit-driven, not good-for-society driven. If 99% of your attempts which cost millions to do fail, the company either has to raise the prices of the …

I think what people find "spiritual" about mathematics is the process, with its creativity and brilliance, ratjer than the final answer. I'd also think it's rather incomparable to …

I would think that it's reasonable not to blame a person for terrorist attacks just because of their ethnicity/nationality and not because of any evidenced involvement if that's wh…

From a Stanford study on the application of LLMs to warfare: >Our findings show that LLMs exhibit difficult-to-predict, escalatory behavior, which underscores the importance of und…

Camus does talk about this in I believe part 3. He doesn't have a problem with killing someone who would cause harm to you. His problem is that the framing of the justification of …

I know that the belief in the majority is a core part of our democracy, but I'd like to challenge it for a moment here. First, does common belief make sonething right? Lets say soc…

Clearly not capital punishment? A lack of capital punishment ≠ lack of punishment. Boycotts, protests, new supply chains, political pressure, etc? The bourgeoisie still need the pr…

This may sound harsh, but I believe that anyone who fantasizes about cruelly murdering anyone has something wrong with them. Have you seen a death, saw someone dying in all the glo…

Camus also writes that these morbid events essentially harden the people who need to be softened, trivializing violence and thus perpetuating it. He uses the example of pickpockets…

What criteria would allow for someone to "deserve" death? Is it as a form of revenge, like most "deserved" punishments? Camus believes that state sanctioned revenge just breeds mor…

Definitely one of the alt accounts of all time. Regards.

Pretty sure caveat intended for the former definition.

Did you create an account _just_ so you could comment? lol. Anyways, footnotes seem to work or are in-text. Links work as well so IDK the problem? Then you talk about the claim of …
