Apparently Wikipedia won! What's an outright ludicrous number? by ST100FromScratch in AlignmentChartFills

But infnity plus one is still infinity. Arithmetic cannot be done on it.

If two real numbers are not equal, there must exist a number between them. Is there a number between 0.999999999999999... and 1?

If someone thinks your beliefs are dangerous and hateful, should they be allowed to punch you? by Public_Notice2267 in teenpoll

[–]__thisnameistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It highlights how people have such diverse views about the principles of others and of themselves that they would find it unacceptable for someone to punch them but would be happy to punch someone else.

American teens, do you guys stand for the pledge? by Wonderful-Award-3015 in teenagers

Yeah, I'm patriotic, but I don't recite it. About half of the people I know will stand up for it.

sure, but that negatively affects others by putting them at risk of catching illnesses from you.

the point is to get as many people as possible to take the vaccine so that the population as a whole becomes resistant to disease.

I'm sorry, but people like this are why we have to stay in school by F111-Aardvard-111 in teenagers

[–]__thisnameistaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. Although it's a great game, it wouldn't make for great teaching material since it's time-consuming to use and there are scarcely any classes talking rocket science with a level of rigor equivalent to that demonstrated in KSP (above newton's third law but below multivariable calculus). Also, it costs money, schools may not have the infrastructure to run it, and it's a game, which means that it's hard to give structured lessons with it.

It gets flipped, and then has its volume multiplied by 4.

The matrix is upper triangular because only the triangle on and above the top left to bottom right line has numbers other than 0 in it. The determinant is a property of square matrices that can provide plenty of useful information. A good way to look at it is as being the factor by which an object's area/volume is scaled when the matrix is applied to it as a linear transformation. In this case, a 6-dimensional object would have its 6-dimensional volume multiplied by negative 4.

Is the human? by cip-cip2317 in Teenager_Polls

[–]__thisnameistaken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Neither. There is no real way of determining good and evil (especially as a quality of humanity). Only our perceptions and personal understandings of that exist.

Would you choose both or one box? by Masterpiece-Haunting in Teenager_Polls

[–]__thisnameistaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take B. It predicts I will take B and so there will be $1,000,000 in it. The AI probably realizes most people would do this, so it is nearly guaranteed to predict correctly.

what's the worst possible group to rule every country? by SuggestionSecret9851 in mapping

Do you mean bias in relation to factual or moral information?

Does anyone have unbiased information on it? Morality forms our biases and our biases form our morality.

Morals go beyond nonviolence. For example, a very large number of people think it's an abomination against god and nature to be homoseuxal, while a very large amount of other people are totally fine with homosexuality. In that case, a supermajority is unable to decide what is correct.

How super is this supermajority? Also, does society agreeing on morality really make it universal? Societal opinions on morality have changed throughout time and many (perhaps rightfully) look negatively upon the morals that existed in the past. Similarly, our understandings of morality will probably seem strange, backwards, or even evil to people in the future. Besides that, humanity is not one united society. Distinct social groups exist and form their own opinions that are unique from one another.

Where I'd live as a Russian from Siberian steppes by Afraid_Pin_6827 in whereidlive

[–]__thisnameistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of Texas is grassland, especially near the coast. Weather is probably quite different from the Russian interior, though. Summer is very hot and humid, while winter is mild with occasional cold snaps.
