    I think that unyttigfjelltol was saying that taxing the value of improvements is goofy, not LVT. The comment was in favor of LVT.

    In other words, the codomain needs to be a vector space.

    I've published a couple of papers in decent pure math journals with no affiliation at all. It didn't cause any issues.

    I got the impression, both from this article and the original (here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/11/eabd9138 ) that the electricity wasn't generated by the fungus, bu…

    What do you think about all these people with long covid then? I've seen studies suggesting that it's pretty common, as well as anectodal observations, although I don't have any li…

    Furthermore, it doesn't involve complex conjugation, and (closely related) it doesn't have any property akin to positive-definiteness.

    Ok, I think you are just playing word games here, using one very broad interpretation of the word eugenics when you say that gene editing is eugenics, and then a narrower interpret…

    Could you please clarify what you are referring to by "non-binding eugenics guideline" and whom you are quoting? Also, could you explain directly why gene editing is unethical with…

    I think there is an essential difference between "you have to do X because it is mandated" and "you practically have to do X in order to keep up". For one, the latter scenario is e…

    Even if it could be used to create genetic super heroes, there's nothing inherently compulsory about it, in contrast to eugenics.

    I'm rusty with this stuff but I'm pretty sure your guess is correct, a countable model is one with countably many objects. For other readers who might not be familiar, I'll mention…

    There isn't necessarily a contradiction there, e.g. you could just see a single ball at any given moment but feel like it was a different ball than the one you saw a few seconds ag…

    Fair enough. I had a much more verbose comment earlier and it took me a second attempt to get it more concise while still conveying the essential point. The Blaise Pascal quote com…

    This is correct, but it doesn't address a fundamental misunderstanding of the parent comment. The prediction that wages = MPL alone does not predict a lack of profit, since the mar…

    "the value of what they produce, there would be no profit, no payoff for investors / owners" It depends if "the value of what they produce" means marginal output or average output.…

    I'm sure the theory falls short of describing reality in all sorts of ways but it does not imply there is no profit, that is a misunderstanding that astonishingly few people are po…

    If we wanted to go into more detail, we could consider production as a function of the cost of labour and the rental cost of capital, rather than restricting our attention to labou…

    Each employee is payed the marginal product of labour, but the output per employee is the average product of labour. Due to the law of diminishing returns, the average product of l…
