| Sadly enough, I did a research paper for linguistics on the morphology of silly words a couple years ago. I think it's funny that someone like Snoop Dogg can keep a straight face and spew nonsense like Izzle dizzle bizzle, nizzle.  .What's even better is foreign words that sound funny to English ears. Like in Arabic there's "foquet" which means "often" and it's a fairly common word, but if you hear it in an Arabic newscast it sounds like "Fuck it". |

| Oh, hrm. I thought this was going to be a thread on euthanasia for people with severe pain or other chronic incurable problems. (Kervorkian, etc.) But I don't know what I would do if I was in that position. If it was someone I was incredibly attached to, I suppose I would want to try everything I could to help the person, even if it took years. But if there are financial limits, you can't always do that, unfortunately. On the side, anybody seen Soilent Green? Those death clinics are a fucked up idea, but at the same time seem like a nice way to go. (As long as no one ends up eating you.) |

| Meh, got 1340 at max, then created some smaller closed systems and tried to see if there is the potential for an infinite chain. Right now I'm saying no, but I haven't totally convinced myself. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 02-23-05 05:57 AM) |

Hmm, I want to say that the process must terminate, based on the fact that I think that the algorithm has an inherent tendency towards a more ordered system. Just need to formulate it out. |

Well to be honest, if I just wanted an overview, I wouldn't want to read through all that crap either. Besides just b/c X political philosopher defines anarchy as such, doesn't mean it has to be that. |

Lol, it's not a party like in an RPG where you're pretty much total strangers. It's your FAMILY. Next time I go to a funeral I'm going to post a sign "XXXX has left the party." Watch me get beat up. |

In my basic characterization of what "anarchy" would look like, it's just everybody acting authonomously. But there are seemingly some problems with that. Do husband and wife live together? If they do, do they have to answer to each other? And when they have kids do they exercise authority over their children. Do they feed them and clothe them until they reach a self sustainable level of maturity? |
Also, there are efficiency issues in such a system. I couldn't possibly produce all the luxury goods I wanted all by myself. I mean, I could, but it would probably take forever. If you want to cite pioneer families well then just kick yourself and remember that that is a family we're talking about, and I assumed total autonomy. I feel people get organized b/c they care about something enough to protect it. A world of anarchy is just a world where no one cares about anybody else, in my mind. Now if you allow the family unit, then things are a little more developed, and the family is the highest imposition of authority. So just to assume SOME structure, I'll allow the family unit, and in that case, there is no law enforcement, outside of vigilante justice on the part of individuals; for nothing in the model says you can't help who you want, or avenge who you want. Families would therefore have to find ways to protect themselves from people who would steal from or harm them. You have to factor in creating enough food to sustain the family unit. You may benefit from trade with other units. The question that arises, is that for it to stay anarchic, would organized trade negate this? I'd say no, unless the trade organization has power unto itself. I'm just thinking like a public market, nothing more organized than that. No board of directors, no one in power.

It's kind of funny I thought 83m was good until I understood how to play the game. Then I got 3000. |

The unfortunate thing about anarchy and the political ideas is you have to read through pages and pages and books and books of information or sit through long talks about it to understand. |
Number one reason I don't care to read about such political philosophies as this, communism, socialism, etc. And no, I've never even heard of this guy. Nor do I care, nor will I ever read his works, unless I get the inclination. If I started a thread on mathematical analysis would you want me to talk about it in an intuitive way, or to refer you to works by Gauss, Legendre, or maybe Poincare or Galois? Chances are you'll die of boredom or rip your hair out trying to understand it. Appended: I hope I am not giving the impression that I advocate massive ignorance in discussion, but I feel that if anyone here knows anything about the subject at hand, they're better off giving their own synopsis rather than referencing treatises no one will probably end up reading. Of course, Nebetsu, if you want to write a book and don't want to look like a total idiot, you're better off at least doing some form of independent research, even if you don't end up using it. I would suggest going to Barnes and Noble or the library and paging through some books on the subject if you find Ziff's references unpalatable.

Damn, I feel bad for you. I recently broke up with my girlfriend and we didn't really say the "let's be just friends" clause but it was sort of implied. I suppose it's different for you since it's a long distance relationship, but it's still gotta be really upsetting. You have to understand that if he's a decent guy, and I'm sure he is, it's hard say no to somebody who loves you. It's hard to break up with that person b/c you know it will crush them. But it's for the best in the end b/c without both people being 100% engaged in the relationship you would just start to hurt more and more. And the hurt is on both sides. |
I mean, don't take this as discouragement, but don't hold your breath on this person and expect that he will want to get back with you in the future. It's possible, but you shouldn't consider it as an eventuality. Just hang out with your friends around town and try to cheer up in the short run.

Note I said I was looking at smaller closed systems. 2X2, 3X3, 4X4, and so on... |
The 2X2 grid terminates... I have a feeling that if this were mapped onto a cylinder or maybe a sphere then the process could be infinite. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 02-23-05 05:44 AM) | |||||||||||||||||||||
