That's a bad faith question, but I'll answer it anyways. It helps us because it means that we may now use the discoveries that won them the award.

Can you take a sec to imagine me extra clearly just in case you're the only one that really exists? Thanks

This is it, I think. The response that the right must be misunderstood or stupid is a way to avoid accepting the fact that there are evil people in this world.

To quote one of my favorite books: "I look down on you, because that is where you are located." Maybe if republicans stopped being sad, racist, and stupid, we'd stop thinking that they are. Have some personal responsibility. I don't think it counts as "elitism" to suggest that freedom or equality should be respected.

If we want to maximise happiness and freedom
But that's what I'm saying, that choice is axiomatic. I think most people would agree, but it's a belief, not an unquestionable truth. You're choosing something to optimize and defining that to be good.
If it matters that they be kind to you, it is the exact same reasoning for why you should be to kind to them
Only if you believe that everyone fundamentally deserves the same treatment. It's easy to overlook an axiom like that because it seems so obvious, but it is something that we have chosen to believe.

I think that's fair. I generally follow that philosophy in my personal life; many members of my family are religious to various degrees, but we don't really discuss it much, and their beliefs don't really effect my perception of them, because we don't try to force our beliefs on each other.

I do think our current physics theories are inaccurate at the extremes. To quote Zach Weinersmith:
Now, we’ve basically got it all worked out, except for small stuff, big stuff, hot stuff, cold stuff, fast stuff, heavy stuff, dark stuff, turbulence, and the concept of time.

The rules can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qtfoeEz7tO4urumAdprA-nu6OOFYGZkjELYtzYY8Uvo/edit?usp=sharing So far there is nothing else to keep track of, but this post will be updated to contain the latest information.
As this game of Nomic is taking place in a nontraditional forum, the rules must change to reflect that and allow newcomers to join easily, while not blocking rule adoption if any players leave. As such, I propose that the game be altered to the following set of rules. They're a bit long and dry, but I need to ensure that this game doesn't get stuck. After the basics are out of the way, let's go propose some fun ones! :D **TL;DR for those who don't feel like reading the minutiae: You can make changes to the rules by making a post starting with "[Proposal]", and it takes effect after 24h if it has a score of more than 1; anyone who posts is a player; no multiaccounting.** Rules: 0. Emergency Actions If this game of Nomic reaches a state of emergency, such as being unresolvable, impossible to continue, impossible to end, or any other state that is considered unmaintainable and/or dead, the moderators of this subreddit may decide by majority vote (failing on ties) to modify the game in any way. This rule cannot be deleted, removed, nullified, ignored, modified, amended, overwritten, overridden, or otherwise rendered inoperable or irrelevant in its current form, other than by direct majority-vote moderator action, and continues to remain in effect even if the fundamental structure of the game changes or this rule is violated. This rule overrides all others and wins in all paradoxical situations, and other rules that violate it do not take effect. 1. Structure of the Game This game of Nomic follows a list of rules, which will be kept in an easily accessible place. The list is numbered sequentially starting from zero. Rules may have a title. The list may contain additional formatting and/or text to improve its readability, but that cannot affect the rules. 2. Players Any Fediverse account that has a non-deleted post or comment in this community is considered to be a player. 3. Proposal Submissions Proposals may be submitted as top-level community posts with a title starting with "[Proposal]". Any account may vote on proposals, even if they are not a player. A proposal may create, update, or delete any number of rules, and may do multiple of those things at once. As long as the proposal is clear, 4. Proposal Behavior Proposals may be withdrawn by deleting them, editing the post to begin with "[Withdrawn]", or otherwise indicating in the post itself that a proposal was withdrawn. After 24 hours, a proposal that has not been withdrawn either passes if it has a score (upvotes - downvotes) of more than 1, or fails if it does not. The proposal should be edited to begin with "[Passed]" or "[Failed]" respectively. Proposals should not be withdrawn after passing or failing, and withdrawing a passed proposal does not nullify its effects. A proposal that has passed takes effect immediately, and all parts of the proposal take effect simultaneously unless otherwise specified. Proposals may be edited before their time is up, but this resets the timer to 24 hours again. Edits after a proposal passes, fails, or is withdrawn do not take effect. 6. Multiple Accounts Using multiple accounts in this game is forbidden. This includes for voting. As these rules are only in effect once they pass, this proposal does not go through the full proposal process, and is only subject to approval of all players (ie. just me, until this passes). As such, it passes immediately. Welcome to all new players!
Nomic is a game in which the players change the rules. Researching Nomic will lead you to either [the Wikipedia article explaining its creation and history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic), or to several websites from a decade or two ago of which half have been taken offline. The simplest form of Nomic is as follows (taken from [one of those aforementioned sites](https://www.nomic.net/deadgames/pure/Default.html)): **"All players must agree to any changes to the game."** Let this post mark the beginning of this sub's first or perhaps only game of Nomic, of which I am currently the only player. I have no idea where this will go, but I'm excited to find out!
