This is the sort of rot you want to get rid of if you want a platform not to descend into 4chan. There is plenty of scope to criticise anything you like in society in a way that isn't just provoking hate. There are riots on the streets because of posts like this!!

Other countries like Australia rely on common law and statutory law.

> Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short -- those are all low energy high entropy states.

Solitary is high entropy for early humans. People cannot survive alone (lets say even with mating partner but no tribe equals alone). At least not without training. Tribe ejection is a severe punishment.

Disjoint tribes might be the low entropy?

Yeah also it is a measure of money not wealth.

Daycare increases GDP. Grandma doesn't.

That is probably a small issue but worth mentioning. I am more convinced when people point out potential weaknesses in their argument but few do this.

Would love some references for that to get started.

The question must touch on the nature of intelligence and conscious experience. How that connects to mathematics (and why even mathematics!)
