Is cannibalism halal under certain circumstances as per Imam Shafi'i(RA) and Imam Hanbal(RA)?
On a website name Jihadica, various fatwas containing Daesh insignia were collected by certain academicians and researchers in 2014. Fatwa No. 68 is translated by UC Berkeley medical anthropology doctoral candidate, Khashayar Beigi (below): " the experts of the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools of Islamic jurisprudence permitted killing of the warring infidels or apostates under the constraining circumstances of eating their flesh to stay alive.
The Social Recession: By the Numbers — LessWrong
ByAnton Stjepan Cebalo Intermission (also known as Intermedio) by Edward Hopper, 1963. One of the most discussed topics online recently has been friendships and loneliness. Ever since the infamous chart showing more people are not having sex than ever before first made the rounds, there’s been increased interest in the social state of things.
What are some triggers that prompt you to do a Fermi estimate, or to pull up a spreadsheet and make a simple/rough quantitative model? — LessWrong
I usually don't use paper or spreadsheet for Fermi estimates; that would make them too expensive. Also, my Fermi estimates tend to overlap heavily with big-O estimates. When programming, I tend to keep a big-O/Fermi estimate for the runtime and memory usage in the back of my head.
A tale from Communist China — LessWrong
In general, I think people try to time markets much more than they have skill for. Suppose you think there's a stock bubble; the temptation is to buy, hold as it rises, and then sell at the top of the bubble before everything comes crashing down. But enough people are trying to do that that you need some special skill in order to be in the leading edge, able to sell when there's a buyer.
How The West Was Won — LessWrong
A common complaint about immigration is "they're taking our jobs." For a group whose primary asset is their ability to do labor, this seems pretty fair to characterize as "our resources are being appropriated," and it's easy to notice that many billionaires who are made better off by mass immigration support decreasing regulatory barriers to immigration.
Avoiding Your Belief's Real Weak Points — LessWrong
Rationality means listening to objections. Please provide evidence. I challenge this claim. "Listening to objections" is not what provides the highest expected utility based on my information and model of the world. By my previous definition, rationality meant winning and being less wrong. Using those tools, I determine that listening to objections is not the best way to be less wrong or win. Edit: Also, I really think this whole thread should go here, judging by the current trend of discourse.
