>it's not your fault you're fucked up. [...] you ARE fucked up.
>it's about the children. Don't do it to them
you may want to define your terms here.
For example, consider a man that get sexually excited by the idea of harming children, sexually, to the point where his greatest fetish is torturing/raping children with them dying while he climaxes.

Now, you may call this personality trait "fucked up", or "mentally ill".
I propose that it is much more useful (and intellectually honest) to categorize behavior patterns as above as "socially desirable/undesirable", or "ethical/unethical" w.r.t. some predefined system of ethics.

Throwing around labels like "fucked up" or "mentally ill" for behaviors that you do not approve of is neither illuminating nor helpful.

And before you shout
>well, OBVIOUSLY ethics are absolute and what is socially desirable is universally agreed upon
please note that "ethics" are just abstracted social rules which are a product of humans having evolved as social mammals.

No need to philosophically jerk of over them too much.

this. "intuitions" is decades of experience, years upon years of practice, resulting in knowledge of many general patterns as well as a plethora of special cases which lend themselves to generalization in some way or other.

this is true for most areas, not just maths.

Could some algebra-fag explain to me exactly what Noether normalization (NN) is, may give a proof-outline of it and tell me how it follows from NN that dim k[x1,x2,...,xn]=n ?
