Not a professor, but one time my high school did this event where they took a bunch of kids from "lower level" math classes and put them into higher level math classes and vice versa for a day. Supposedly to get a glimpse into how math encompasses everything from really basic shit to really advanced shit or something, idk. Obviously this was a bad idea because suddenly there's a bunch of Basketball Americans listening to rap and monkeying around in calculus class and there's a bunch of nerds sitting in the middle of Compton downstairs.

Anyways, so during lecture over conics or something the black kids wouldn't shut the fuck up and kept being really distracting. The teacher wrote the sigma symbol on the board and one of the kids burst out really loud "the fuck is that thing?" The instructor had had enough and his spaghetti rocketed into orbit. He turned around and threw the eraser right at the kid's head and yelled "SHUT. THE FUCK. UP" really loud.

That was about the only time I had a teacher really lose his cool.

And developing it himself ensures that he understands everything he is doing and doesn't get lost in someone else's methods.

>THEY HAVE NO PLACE IN SOCIETY AND THOUGH THEY ARE BIOLOGICALLY HUMAN, THEY ARE NOT EMOTIONALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY HUMAN.
what gives this man the authority to define emotionally/psychologically human? If you're born a biological human, then anything you feel or think is considered human. This is my point of view at least (and probably most rational/scientific minded people's view). Instead of literally shouting his opinion at the class, he should instead give both sides of the argument and allow the class to decide for themselves what they think.

>morality is a grey area. If you EVER hear that from ANYONE you MUST TELL THEM IMMEDIATELY THEY ARE PATENTLY FALSE.

Basically your professor is arguing for pure Kantian deontological ethics, which I'm somewhat sympathetic towards, but in its radical interpretation it'll also necessarily (for reasons I won't go into, read up yourself) imply that e.g. helping Hitler kill millions of people is NOT wrong, doing the killing for Hitler IS wrong, and even killing Hitler himself IS wrong. It does make logical sense to assume this radical perspective if you think it is ethically correct, but it does most certainly not make sense to claim that it is the only correct perspective.

They don't deserve to die but it is not immoral to kill them.

I think a good patch to capitalism is to make it legal to kill people who are millionaires or beyond. Life, if you kill them then nothing happens to you.

Think about it, they have enough to pay for protection so this would fuel a bigger security economy which would give money to many low income earners.

No one would even die because the rich can just pay like 50 people to protect them, like the secret service.

Signs of richness are visible, man. People will know. If you live the high life people will know. You would have to live like you were poor and that is also good.

> in your system where does the other 50% of the money go?

To the traditional people who inherit it. Like their sons and other family members.

If these people leave a will then first 50% of the wealth is given to the killer and the rest of 50% will be acted upon by the will.

If you advocate universal human rights, then there is no way to "draw the line" and you should advocate for universal rights for all things, including plant life and inanimate objects. If you are in favor of honor killings, then take the extreme point of view and don't be mad if someone righteous kills you for whatever reason. Either one is a perfectly valid way to live and it's just a matter of what your personal beliefs are. Also, universal rights include the right to kill, so in a way both of these points of view are actually the same.

What's the difference between universal human rights and universal animal rights? You cannot draw the line without bringing up the concept of a soul. Sure you could say that as a human you value human life more, but the point I was making was that this is not a universal fact. It's only an arbitrary position that you take for no real reason other than "you" being more valuable than "them" which anyone can apply to any arbitrary lines (including race and gender).

Are you trolling? How about you draw the line based on species? This is a perfectly defendable position.

Using your logic you may as well argue that drawing the line at all species or none is equally arbitrary.

The thing is that innocent typos like that can completely derail somebody who's confused about the material, because they don't know what's going on well enough to immediately shrug it off as a typo. So fixing those errors is good.

Firstly, the line between different species is ill defined. But more importantly, why does our species deserve certain rights that other species do not? No matter where you draw the line, it's arbitrary unless you have a reason to draw the line.

>>8522998
>Just some lines you could draw from the top of my head (not that you necessarily should use these)
If you read the second part of my post you'd see I already addressed this point. It doesn't matter what lines you draw, all that matters is why you drew the lines. You only picked those criteria because they separate you from animals. What's stopping you from drawing your line further up (like between races) or further down (like between animals and plants). If you want to be truly "fair" there should be no lines, only a continuous spectrum of rights depending on a given criteria. But even then, that criteria is completely artificial.

>>8523106
I never said I advocate for plant rights. I was trying to point out that people advocating for universal human rights might as well take the extreme view. The only thing stopping them is a completely made-up line that is a perfectly valid way to live but it's just a matter of opinion and not in any way a matter of universality.

Rights only work as long as they are understood and respected by all parties involved (also they need to be enforceable of course). Animals can't respect the rights of others, so they don't get rights.

If a human infringes on the rights of another human, then we punish them with the power of our societies (government most of the time). We take away rights of the violator, like his property, freedom or even their life. It's a contract between human people: I respect your rights and you respect mine.

Animals can't consent to that social contract or even understand it. That's why they don't have rights, but in turn we also don't expect them to respect our rights.

Once you find an animal that can act as a moral agent in a society of law, then we can talk about giving it rights.

if you can construct a logical argument you can deconstruct them into logical elements and then implement logical gates from computer science

for specie to survive you need a few guide lines like:
do not steal
do not kill
don't fuck other peoples wives or dont fuck children

examples from history in rough times is no excuse, just because people used to fuck 9 year olds and pillage peoples villages just remind your self these things happen today maybe on a smaller scale but it still happens, just people are more aware how BAD of an outcome these things will make

sure some things are goofy like eating insects but that was because there were limitations on preservation and parasite control, other than that things that are accepted today like having a fatherless child, marketing pure sugar water to both adults and children where they get type 2 diabetes by the time they reach a ripe old age of 14, showing your body in public or losing your virginity before marriage is something /pol/ would call "degenerate

Well, you have to consider human decency. No one really wants to be a murdered. The only people who would actually kill are those who are really poor. Those really poor have been really oppressed in society while the very rich are privileged so if the oppressed kill the privileged it is morally okay.

And then as you say the poor would become millionaires and be on the kill list but then all they have to do is donate all their surplus money to charity or if they want to get richer then they have to live with the risks of it.

It is a perfect system, literally 0 flaws.

It is not legalizing murder, it is legalizing equality.

Poor people are oppressed, rich people are privileged. If the poor people had the upper hand in anything against the poor then that would imply equality, as the rich already have an upper hand against the poor in other regards.

It would level the playing field. Like, you treat bad your workers? Then they get organized and murder you in your sleep. As easy as that, so you better treat them well.

I am not asking for any kind of redistribution of wealth. That is marxism, I am marxism++.

Instead of redistributing wealth I am imposing laws based on traditional economy and game theory. Instead of taking money away from the wealthy, put incentives in place so that the rich willingly give away their money in ways that will not also make them richer.

The simplest idea is to make it legal to murder rich people so that they hae to spend on security. You give other ideas.

The problem society has is that some people have too much power. I don't want billionaires, I want many millionaires that only together can achieve the reach of billionaires so that then there will actually be competition.

When someone is a billionaire they can buy entire political parties, we see it with both the republicans and democrats. The entire party is bought. But a millionaire? What is a millionaire going to do? Buy a fucking kansas governor? LOL.

We need to break down power and you know it. I know a lot of you faggots like Bernie's plan to break down big banks into several small banks. Why do you think he wants that, huh?

So that no single bank or bank owner can have too much influence. If someone wants to corrupt the system they would have to band with 10 other banks and then everyone will be exposed to backstabbing, as no one has centralized control. Then this system would degrade to no one trying to cheat as it is too risky.

But if you have one single huge billionaire bank then there is no backstabbing because one single guy can influence politics with his money.

If you support Bernie but not me you are literally retarded.

You know that a millionaire can't spend much more than $40k/yr without eventually running out of money, right? This is basic retirement planning.

It's tough for a single person to live on less than $20k/yr in the US; $40k/yr will get you to the "use Instacart all the time" level of luxury. You absolutely cannot buy politicians whose take-home is over $100k with this kind of money.

Also, does somebody count as a millionaire if their wealth is tied up in illiquid assets? How about highly volatile ones whose valuation drops below a million frequently? How about consumer goods that have very little resale value? How about options or other derivatives that don't have markets and are hard to place a value on? How about savings funds which don't allow withdrawal before retirement?

OK because you can't seem to think outside the vacuum here's a good example.

Plumbers, contractors, and welders are 3 huge dying trades in America that have seen a huge swathe of rising wages due to the fact that people aren't becoming any of these positions. This makes the price to hire a welder shoot through the roof as the demand for welders remained relatively the same and the supply dwindled. This is how a trade skill benefits highly from low supply of labor for high demand situations. There is no manipulation from "the capitalist" or what ever made up term you wanna juxtapose onto something. The same goes for unskilled laborers who have no valuable skill and are paid what they're worth because the job is easy and the labor supply is high and the demand is low.

If you offer nothing of value you are worthless. Don't confuse this for some master plot to convolute and manipulate money into somehow being everyone else's fault but yours. Your degree in underwater basket weaving doesn't Magically become valuable under any other event notices system and you sure as he'll don't become any more successful by somehow ripping down all the successful people in your own jealousy

An employer buys your labor what ever it may be. You aren't entitled to some extra arbitrary amount because you say so and this reversal effect doesn't Magically take place where you some how elevate because you somehow make more which is a slippery slope for "more more more" because the "you aren't being paid what your labor is s ACTUALLY worth" is completely made up in itself. OK so you get paid more o what ever you think you're owed and why would that ever quell your thirst for demanding more and more and more because you suddenly feel "I'm not getting paid enough"

It's a superfluous round about way of entitlement regardless of your personal endeavors or consequences

The entire point is that no one has enough money to buy politicians. So millionaires are okay. Being a multi millionaire should be the top aspiration.

> The entire point is that no one has enough money to buy politicians. So millionaires are okay. Being a multi millionaire should be the top aspiration.

Your quality of life measurably increases up to around 25 million dollars (at which point your financial income is reliably over a million in pre-tax dollars). At this point you personally can have considerable sway over individual politicians, maybe, but not very many. You're also unable to start charities, start businesses in many industries, be a significant venture capitalist, or any of the other social goods that very wealthy people can and do do.

But even this cutoff, which is higher than your suggestion while still being low enough to have enormous social damage, is still unworkable.

You suggest using Forbes' methodology, but Forbes misses several extremely wealthy people who hide their wealth well to avoid attention; they would also miss moderately wealthy people such as doctors who hide their wealth to avoid being a lawsuit target. And these people are hiding their money with *way less incentive* than the potential of being murdered.

The switching of the higher level and lower level students is as useless as it is mean. All it accomplishes is showing the lower level students how dumb they are and showing themail higher level students how dumb the lower level is. I don't understand what else the point of this could be. The higher level teacher didn't even explain the symbols he was writing. Say what you want about the basketball Americans but at least one of them had some shread of curiosity when they asked what the hell the sigma was.

Why would they pay attention if they had magnitudes less of a clue about what was happening on the board than when they were in their proper class? I wouldn't, especially if the teacher didn't take the time to explain what he was teaching in the higher level courses and why; talking about conics like they were supposed to follow.
