So what are the prime factors of 1?

But by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.

the uniqueness constraint is why 1 is not prime.

There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?

The competition is Chinese and doesn’t give a fuck about US regulations.

They’ll give a crap when it affects them personally.

That’s not greedy — it’s smart.

The people I know who bought one don’t give a shit about ethics. They stayed away from them for as long as they were socially unacceptable, but as soon as the storm blew over they saw their chance to buy one.

Just… a data point. My experience is that at least 20% of a population doesn’t care about stuff like this. They care about their own social status, but not ethics.

And which culture is that?

Every function the body has ultimately exists to maximize the chance of reproduction

Different situations. She can’t force other people to dress differently to appease her, but if they make her uncomfortable (for whatever dumb reason) she’s allowed to avoid them.

But also different situations because sex drive is possibly the strongest biological drive that we have, so even if you’re not helpless against it your brain can be distracted in a way that it won’t get from gendered clothing.

I’m not religious or devoid of self control, or even interested in a relationship with a “gym girl”. But I would still wish that the women at my gym chose to dress for function rather than to attract… whatever it is they want to attract. It gets tiresome.

That way, you can help someone else pay their bills!

Those who can’t do… teach

Teaching others is one of the best ways to learn. There are levels of hell though. E.g. try teaching MAGA anything about the scientific method.

If you’re the dumbest person in the room, are you in the right room?

Up until very recently all train route planning in Sweden was done manually with huge sheets of paper and rulers. Scheduling trains is a very hard problem due to the inability for one train to pass another in many places and the constantly high congestion. Any change in the schedule affects basically the entire rail network.

In computer science it belongs to the class of “NP-hard” problems which are intractable to solve optimally. There are various approximate methods that can be employed to get something that’s almost always good enough.

Well I meant educated in ethics

Another approach might be to only hire nurses who are already educated

I think you’re strawmanning this. I didn’t say you are obligated to maximize your health. But that’s different from knowingly making yourself ill.

In Sweden we spend a lot of resources treating people for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is almost exclusively the result of smoking. I think it’s wrong to smoke given how much it costs fellow tax payers and how it takes away resources from people who suffer from ailments that are not a result of their actions.

That said, everyone deserves compassion and it’s also wrong not to help people who are suffering regardless of the reason. But that’s part of what makes it bad to knowingly hurt yourself - you’re imposing an obligation onto other people.

Also it’s likely to make you sick and then you become a liability to your community = immoral.
