Congrats, you've figured out about half the inherent contradiction. That's barely a passing score.

Racism is also no longer real now that we've got an explicitly white nationalist president, this solves the contradiction.

If you're serious, cause I see you're a different account and tbh I have no idea where the context is right now: From a postcolonial perspective the concept of moral naturalism, or "objective good," looks damn close to the cultural superiority that was often used to excuse colonial behavior. The way it managed to contradict so many things at once in the conversation was darkly amusing, and I thought it might bait a response that would show inconsistencies in the views being expressed while also being rude enough to let out some of my current frustration at the proudly self-destructive behavior that's popped up like mushrooms with Trump's win. Happened last time that old white man won, too, and soon everyone was whining. How tf did it get worse. Either goldfish memory or a bunch of tadpoles.

You might not have a choice about that soon, all thanks to people like you. Sounds like willing to the second degree to me.

Come here and make me ;)

Insane take ngl

What? What do you mean lol.

Damn, hypocrite much?

I was literally giving you what you want. I could give you what I want, which is equal rights and fair treatment, but that’d be a bit white colonialist.

Sorry to disappoint but I’m only gonna benefit from official Republican policies, so… thanks? I guess? Was just trying to help you non-wealthy non-crackers.

Bro I’m not saying dems have anyone else to blame, I’m saying you seem way too happy about self harm.

Leave me out of your suicide cult pls

So you recognize the danger you're putting yourself in by insisting you'd rather have nothing than only a little? That's what I'm getting out of this frothing mess of a comment.

The only thing the article adds to the headline is that it’s not possible on new Intel chips. This article seems significantly better.

OR6A2

Through a postcolonialist lens this is pretty clever. Use of civilized as a term to excuse the racist and expansionist actions of one’s own country, expansion which happens to have coincided with railways being central to industrial power. Now the colonized are civilized, are we the barbarians?

Unironically thinking like that is the real ape-brained behavior.

Like, for example, we could assume that it should be a space with discrete topology of some relevant cardinality. [...] Not sure what you mean by that, as each vote x_i is generally not a function or a similar structure

Yeah that was badly written, sorry. I was taking the x_i's as well-defined preference-based utility functions, so "i is x_i important". That's not even continuous unless one could say "how much of our resources will be spent on i," which is a simplification itself. Maybe instead of issues having functions k_i describing all possible choices regarding an issue? By limit I meant someone saying "i is infinitely important."

Anyway, I think it's possible to build a reasonable, continuous, preference model, depending on what the set of topics/issues looks like. Whether the properties required of the set of issues would be reasonable... I think not. I think one would end up with something maybe not discrete but certainly not continuous. Hence the second paragraph in my previous comment.

Arrow’s theorem

I've never heard of this. Just off the first sentence on Wikipedia, I'd question the existence of independent alternatives. It looks like non-dictatorship is defined to be ordering invariant?
