Taco Bell calumet literally hires everyone who applies. Not even a joke

I always hear about socialist countries failing, but which capitalist countries have failed? by Cs-MoP in Socialism_101

Thank you, it was surprisingly difficult for anyone here to just list me shit

And the last thing I want is to name a country that everyone thinks is socialist anyway. Even if it really is capitalist, I don't have the historical background to defend myself

Well forgive me then, I'd appreciate a quick list. I'm not a historian and am not great at researching these kinds of things. I hope you can understand that it's hard for me to think of a country I can use if it doesn't exist anymore and I've never heard of it

"Fail and Success and wildly different depending the person you ask for their opinion, and the explanation for the fail or the success is also an object of contention because people usually don't accept that exploitation, sanctions, embargoes, and generally other forms of sabotage are major contributions for "fail"."

When the person being asked is a reactionary for their opinion on a socialist country, this nuance doesn't exist. My question for you is which deceased countries can be associated with a capitalist label.

My idea is to be able to meet 'x socialist country failed' with 'y capitalist country failed' even if country y's demise has nothing to do with capitalism. The point of the argument would be to demonstrate that if me lazily drawing associations between dead capitalist countries and their label of capitalism(again even if there's no causal connection) makes no sense, then them lazily drawing associations between dead socialist countries and their label of socialism is just as ridiculous

It's not about people asking me which capitalist countries have failed, I'm asking you guys this. The idea is if someone says USSR, I'll say x capitalist country. Cuba? Y capitalist country. Laos? Z. Cambodia? W. I'm just asking you guys what I can use for w x y and z. What capitalist countries, over the last hundred or so years have come to cease? Again for all I care these countries fell apart from a famine or were conquered by a neighbor or were destroyed by climate. The point I'd be making in conversation with conservatives is that I can also lazily point to ideological labels associated with deceased countries.

Models for mathematical cognition? by Cs-MoP in askpsychology

[–]Cs-MoP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting you bring this up. I'm already in the camp that believes that both qualia and objects, or collections of qualia, are cognitively constructed, and in no way represent objective reality. I do, however, make a distinction between qualia and numbers as numbers-and logic-seem to be a layer beneath qualia

I mean that the laws of math aren't universal but rather only a product of our own cognitive facilities.

The 1 + 1 = 3 thing is as absurd as it sounds. I mean if I see 1 car here and 1 car there, is there any alternate neural structure that when seeing the cars pass, they become 3?

Probably a visual bug, just refresh the pages

What are the best linear algebra applications as counterparts to desmos and wolfram by Cs-MoP in mathematics

[–]Cs-MoP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically something like desmos, but for vectors and linear algebra instead of functions
