>if matter is controlled by deterministic natural laws
I don't think it is. There's no evidence that such laws exist, to the contrary quantum mechanics seems to indicate we may never find such laws. I think a lot of material is largely controlled by my consciousness which is indeterministic.

I am explaining my point, retard. I'm giving you arguments. Use your brain to parse them.

Well that's how I understand determinism (physical kind), that the state of the universe at one time completely determines the state of the universe at all further times. This translates to there being such a function. It does not have to be computable or describable, it just needs to exist.

I didn't, but it was recommended to me here long ago by someone who said it was a god tier book.

I feel like the biggest thing I lack right now in maths is the sense of rhythm. I have the tendency to bite more than I can chew, not just in maths but with everything in life. What inevitably happens is that I go far enough into a book where the whole structure of the concepts just starts to fall apart because I haven't spend enough time on it. Everything starts to look stupid, I burn out and not read for a long period of time.

It's the best way to ensure there's no corruption. There needs to be a bribery organization instituted that consists of relatively unknown people who try to bribe government officials and if they accept the bribe, arrest them. If this is done well and repeatedly it will get to the point where all government officials are unable to distinguish a fake bribe that will get him arrested and a real bribe that happens very rarely. It will make no sense game-theoretically for any government official to accept any bribe. It will also be cost-effective because no actual bribes will be going on and a lot of money will be made from arrests initially before politicians learn to stop accepting bribes.

I would really want to know if this idea has ever been tried. Why wouldn't it work?
I'm really sorry for this being a bit offtopic but honestly I had no idea where else to post it. I'm just curious about the reasoning and what could go wrong with it. This is a bit related to game theory and probability, as well as social dynamics which could be statistically modeled.
If you think there is another board or place where I could ask about this idea, please tell me, just don't ban me!
