Dictators cannot possibly have smart people around them. They perceive them as a challenge to their authority, AND they worry that when they stand toe to toe with them they will be seen for what they are. Idiots. The orangutan in chief is but the latest example.
Metamathematics is the study of mathematics itself using mathematical methods. This study produces metatheories, which are mathematical theories about other mathematical theories. Emphasis on metamathematics (and perhaps the creation of the term itself) owes itself to David Hilbert’s attempt to secure the foundations of mathematics in the early part of the 20th century. Metamathematics provides “a rigorous mathematical technique for investigating a great variety of foundation problems for mathematics and logic” (Kleene 1952, p. 59). An important feature of metamathematics is its emphasis on differentiating between reasoning from inside a system and from outside a system. An informal illustration of this is categorizing the proposition “2+2=4” as belonging to mathematics while categorizing the proposition “‘2+2=4’ is valid” as belonging to metamathematics.
48 states have some kind of restriction against felons voting, in all of these states felons aren’t allowed to vote while in prison. 30 of those states also restrict voting after the person is released from prison. In 9 states you can permanently lose your right to vote if convicted of a felony
This is actually an improvement that reflects pro-felon legislation that’s been passed recently. In the past there were more states that took away all voting rights as soon as you were convicted and offered no recourse to ever get them back
Some experts have said that Florida wouldn’t have gone to Trump in the 2016 election if ex-felons had been allowed to vote. Florida has the 4th largest votes in the elector college (29), it has the 2nd largest black population out of all the states, and it has the highest rate of citizens who are banned for life from voting
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
