The single most important political principle ever

[Bluth Corporation]

0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 299,999,999 = 0
0 * 300,000,000 = 0
0 * 6,000,000,000 = 0

What are you talking about? Does this have something to do with large numbers of doughnuts?

[Hydesland]

Ah yes, I can totally see how you can extrapolate from that that property rights are inherently objective and absolute, regardless of government. It makes perfect sense.

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 299,999,999 = 0
0 * 300,000,000 = 0
0 * 6,000,000,000 = 0

But ln(0) = 1.

[Vespertilia]

But ln(0) = 1.

Trolling, heresy, or some kind of a joke I don't get?

[Xsyne]

0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 299,999,999 = 0
0 * 300,000,000 = 0
0 * 6,000,000,000 = 0

But ln(0) = 1.

As does log(0).

E: Wait no. I'm wrong. log(0) is undefined. I think.

Trolling, heresy, or some kind of a joke I don't get?

Wrong, that's what.

e^0 = 1
0 = ln(1)

[Xsyne]

0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 299,999,999 = 0
0 * 300,000,000 = 0
0 * 6,000,000,000 = 0

0 * 1/0 =/= 0

[Czardas]

No, the single most important political principle ever is:

KE = ½mv²

Everyone knows that. >:(

[Vespertilia]

Wrong, that's what.

And ln(x) ---(x-->0+)---> - inf. I was afraid it's an attempt to provoke me.

[Phenia]

Since when did the zero property of multiplication become a "political principle," let alone "the single most important ever?"

[Eternal Mysteries]

0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 299,999,999 = 0
0 * 300,000,000 = 0
0 * 6,000,000,000 = 0

SAVED BY ZERO - THE FIXX

I'd like an answer for that question too, but it doesn't appear that the OP is going to be very forthcoming.

EDIT: Maybe he is arguing against women's suffrage, because no matter how many millions of women agree on something, none of them have penises, so what they think doesn't matter.

I was waiting for somebody to ask this question.

I cannot delegate to the state authority I do not have. If I have zero authority to do a particular act on my own, and everyone else does as well, then altogether we have zero authority to do it, which means the state cannot ever have the authority to do it either.

It's obviously the same shit as the A = A nonsense. It either has no link at all, or has some remarkable piece of tl;dr sophistry to link that to politics.

0 * 1/0 = 1.

Therefore, if you have an undefined number of people, the state has authority to do things the individual people do not.

Is there a clearly defined number of people that makes up a state? No. Q.E.D.

That's fantastic.

Heh, whoops.

I'm just in the wrong state of mind for math today...

0⁰ is still ERR, whether you like it or not.

A) Your premise is incorrect.
B) Even granting your premises, your conclusion does not follow from it.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Hey, look, 7 * 6 = 42. I just solved The Question.

Or not.

It makes just as much sense as your argument.

0⁰ = 1. Calculators don't lie. D:<
Well, sometimes they do, but they can't be lying now, it would undermine my whole point!

That makes absolutely no sense.

That I cannot delegate authority I do not myself possess makes no sense?
That if every one of us posseses zero authority to do something, then regardless of how many of us there are there is still overall zero authority for us to do something makes no sense?
