We're 3+1 dimensional beings. Time doesn't have the same metric as spacial dimensions, so you can't add them together. You can't rotate a temporal object along the xt-plane, for example, nor can you speak about an object

The stimulus checks weren't the only thing we did, however. We did a lot of quantitative easing to keep the stock markets from crashing, and I would blame that first.

A leader does not necessarily define the problem to solve. That is the job of an owner. Leaders coordinate people, and objectives are decided by owners. The same person might do both jobs, but they are distinct functions. They are very fr

I had never considered that, but you're absolutely right. I would totally be the sort of person to manually idiosyncratically syntax highlight my code if it were feasible. I'm sure glad I don't feel compelled to do that...

Limited liability only protects the shareholders. It exists because shareholders have no control over the corporation. It does not protect agents of the corporation, such as management, because they do have control of the corporation.

Yes you can, it's called Strict Liability. That's the risk they're getting payed billions of dollars to make sure they get right. It's their job to have the knowledge and make sure it doesn't get committed.

Shareholders have limited liability. Management does not.

Cats are highly skilled individuals and you can trust them to catch the mice, but you can't trust them to coordinate with each other. Left to their own devices, they'll just focus on their own technical expertise. The specialized

The problem with interpreting the Constitution is that a lot of things are left unsaid or undefined. There is a wealth of writing outside the Constitution that helps clarify what was intended when the text of the Constitution is ambiguous,

You know something the Constitution doesn't say? It doesn't say that you should only interpret the Constitution based on what it says. Therefore, the originalist position is self-contradictory, because it's not contained in t

You know, maybe it's time to overturn Marbury v. Madison. An originalist like Alito should have no problem admitting that the constitution never granted the court these powers in the first place. What's that I hear you say, he won

Good question! I think the short answer is because the Supreme Court has interpreted the constitution as having granted that power. It is not an open-and-shut case, however, and stems from the constitution's grant of power for Congress

A lot of our cognition is mapped to areas that are used for something else, so excluding areas simply because they are used for something else is not valid. They can still be used for higher-level cognition. For example, we use the same are
