@tingserg She told me there were only 2 Georgian restaurants at the time, so instead of having people go to one or the other based on price, she made a deal with her competitor to maintain the same prices, so people would go where they preferred based solely on the food itself. #PP22 2/2
@tingserg One definitely is at risk and has more to lose by not being aggressive. However, both parties benefit the most when a trust is established. When I explained game theory to my mother, she told me a story about when she used to own a a Georgian restaurant in Brooklyn. #PP22 1/2
@satorijirashi@GlennWr30759610 According to an article from The Median, the United States has only spent a grand total of 15 year at peace from its founding in 1776. That means we have spent the large majority of our history battling various conflicts. Goes to show that peace is only temporary. #PP22
@satorijirashi@GlennWr30759610 Quite literally, there can not be peace without war. Conflict is unavoidable, and periods of peace come as a result to the resolution of conflict. #PP22
@satorijirashi@GlennWr30759610 It is simply within human nature to fight over power or resources. Unfortunately peace does not last, because eventually a new conflict will arise that cannot be settled diplomatically, and war will ensue. #PP22
@hypeforhobbes@SydSandersss@Princesesa_Iman@Lawrenc51239184 I believe the people that would decide to stick to adhearing to traffic laws regardless of legal implications, would simply be looking out for their own best interests rather than being victims to a moral dilemma. #PP22
@GlennWr30759610@WiesmoreJames It comes down to the fact of how much would the Melians be able to trust the Athenians. Because, simply a verbal agreement wouldn’t be enough for me if I was a leader, to surrender to an opposing force. #PP22
@ppdood67 @NicoleB2017 @ForAClass342 @tingserg I believe animals are both able to think and feel. Definitely not all animals, but the more intelligent animals such as chimpanzees and dolphins have been known to express qualities similar to that of humans. #PP22
@NicoleB2017 @ForAClass342 @tingserg I believe if Hobbes was alive today, and was able to see the capabilities of certain animals, especially chimpanzees, he wouldn’t be so strict on his definition of curiosity. #PP22
@NicoleB2017 @ForAClass342 @tingserg While we can see animals express interest in human behavior, it is unknown to us if whether they are truly questioning the “why” behind the actions or simply the activity itself. #PP22.
@satorijirashi @BogartAnnabella @WiesmoreJames@SBreymeier0616 @MichaelDArcang1 Honor aside, the Melians has no guarantee that the Athenians would not go ahead and slaughter their men and enslave their women and children anyways, even if not immediately. Not going down without a fight is definitely a commendable decision on their end. #PP22
@SydSandersss@Princesesa_Iman@Lawrenc51239184 But I believe even in a state of anarchy, most people that have lived in a society all their lives, wouldn’t automatically be inclined to go on a murderspree just because they wouldn’t face any legal consequences. #PP22
@SydSandersss@Princesesa_Iman@Lawrenc51239184 While the framework of justice is typically decided by a state or a society, morality is very individual to one’s character. There are certain laws we break everyday because they tend to not go against our morals and we probably dont fear the consequences. #PP22 1/2
@tingserg @NicoleB2017 Curiosity can be defined as “the desire to learn more about something,” of course your cat will never be able to grasp the concept of how your tv is able to project moving images. However, how can you be sure they are not questioning how it is possible? #PP22
@cadwaladr4ever I believe one defines themselves through their actions weather they are worthy of honor or not. However society are the ones who classify an individual as being honorable. I guess it comes down to how you carry yourself. #PP22
@abmercha This is essentially the natural power dynamic that is formulated in any society. Most people need a leader to follow in order to provide a much necessary structure within a society, however a leader needs follower in order to be able to lead. #PP22
@LilPoobs As the age old expression goes: “hardwork beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” Nobody has found themselves in positions of power based on natural gifts alone, these people must take advantage of their talents in order to achieve their goals. #PP22
