@owenslindsay1 Imagine the headline:
“Sometimes you just have to ignore doctors
This proposal might irritate academics, but it makes sense to everyone else.”
Sounds stupid. But why is it plausible when talking about economics?
@DanielDiMartino Those two words are not mutually exclusive. The defence of free markets has not been constant in the history of conservatism. There are, and always have been, illiberal conservatives. He’s just one of them.
- The final requirement for this Set to be a Group would be the existence of inverses. Does every emotion have an inverse? What would the inverse of Joy be? We know it isn’t Sadness.
- Last question:
Should professors use this table as an example in Abstract Algebra classes?
A few notes on the Algebraic Structure of Emotions:
- The Set of the five original emotions is not closed under the Operation, indicating more emotions.
- The Operation is not commutative:
Joy • Sadness = Nostalgia
Sadness • Joy = Melancholy
1/n
- If the operation is associative, we could easily generate every possible emotion in the Set with a commutativity rule. What would this rule be in this set? What would the order of the Set be?
4/n
@jcaetanoleite Se o problema era a lei não ser clara, isso não valeria também para todas as outras drogas? Por que o STF agiu somente sobre maconha? Talvez essa arbitrariedade que faça com que pareça legislação e não decisão judicial.
(É uma pergunta honesta. Realmente quero entender)
@AlexdaMatta_ No Brasil pelo menos, mas acredito que em outros países também, o custo mais alto do tabaco para cobrir algumas dessas externalidade faz com que faça sentido para o contrabando faça sentido. Grande parte, muitas vezes maioria, da receita de cartéis vem de cigarros contrabandeados
@AlexdaMatta_ Da pra quantificar o dano social que cada droga causa, e as que mais causam são tabaco e álcool.
Se o ponto é prevenir “danos sociais”, a conversa tem começar com essas duas aí.
