  • Math vs Values

    From Ricky DeLuco@618:250/35 to All on Wed Aug 9 18:07:46 2023
    Time to punt the ball ....

    Think about this question .....

    Does two negatives 'always' make a positive, if so, is this statement true when multiplying negatives, there is always a positive product ?

    Is this flat out a blanket statement?

    Mathematically?
    Behaviorally?
    Economically?
    Socially?

    Go !

    If my horse steps on my foot, that is a negative.

    If my other horse steps on my other foot, that is another negative.

    Now I have two negatives, no feet, no possitive to show.

    This is exactly my point ... How can politicians and so called activists constantly exhibit negatives, be a positive in the Social media and News Point of Views. Does destroying priceless art, or pure political corruption never have accountability?

    Argumentative - Two negatives and not always positive. Sad but true. Someone always gets hurt. Why?

    Is this flat out a blanket statement?

    I think the best way to simplify it is Does the extra negatives stack? Or is it cancelling itself out?

    (I'm not the best at this sorry)

    Please move this conversation to MIN_DEBATE. That's where any topic that
    might be touchy goes.

    Thanks,
