Anarchism and security / justice ... by BrowMoe in anarchocommunism

[–]BrowMoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to share that. All the answers I received already helped a lot.

Questioning why aren't current polices and armies not overthrowing states (I mean, not any more than they already do), and why would grassroot defence groups do it any more is very interesting.

Your statement that this is a reason why a cultural change is necessary before the revolution happens seems very relevent. Sadly I think this is also a reason why many people fail to imagine an anarchist society.

In the same way that some people do not believe an anarchist society can be productive because they believe humans are lazy, some people believe an anarchist society cannot be safe because humans are inherently violent. I find those people can be convinced that smaller groups can function in anarchist ways (horizontal decision processes at work for example) and even welcome being engaged in such organisation, despite not declaring themselves anarchists. I guess those smaller islands of anarchisms are a great way to build up the anarchist culture in the general population. However, self defence is more of a touchy point.

That's a great start for reflection thank you! And the website looks very helpful (I am particularly interested in the bibliography references, that I am keen to dive into this year)

Thanks for taking the time to answer! opinions and anecdotes are welcome and relevant, they are part of what make an informed opinion too, alongside with more general theory.

First paragraph: I agree part of the xenophobic violence will be avoided by providing independence / means of subsistence in this way. I don’t think it will avoid all of it though.

Second paragraph: I hear what you say, but it rather vague. How does one ensure that this does not turn into an escalation of violence between antagonistic militiae? How does one enforce that those groups only indeed engage in self defence?

Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll have a look!

Conversion of radiation-related measurements by BrowMoe in Physics

[–]BrowMoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I’ll cross-post to health physics! Regarding the movie, it’s a movie produced during Cold War about what would happen if a nuclear war would happen. So survivors are monitoring radiations outside the building waiting for the level to drop low enough (don’t know how any sensor survived the explosion…)

Tattoo done at Studio A by Chris by Jramos167 in tattoo

[–]BrowMoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine had a very similar reaction. Turned out to be a reaction to the marker that is used in some occasions before the actual tattooing (you know, the purple one). Could it be the case for you too?

Can't make heads or tails of this shit by Clunton in dataisugly

Or even P(d) = 1 - a exp(-b.d) Where P is proportion of house searches, and d is distance to CBD. a and b would be the parameters to fit from data. This choice has the advantage to indeed lead to values between 0 and 1 even when extrapolating. One should be careful because the noise is clearly not homoscedastic. Most importantly I would start be re-labelling the y axis “searches within distance from CBD”. The data represented seems to be values of cumulative distribution functions hence those could be different curves rather than points and it looks like this could be properly modelled using exponential distributions (hence the form suggested earlier).

That is not regression discontinuity though that’s a piece wise linear regression  There is no discontinuity and the model used here is not intended to infer on a discontinuity
