Life-history theory and climate change: resolving population and parental investment paradoxes
Population growth in the next half-century is on pace to raise global carbon emissions by half. Carbon emissions are associated with fertility as a by-product of somatic and parental investment, which is predicted to involve time orientation/preference as a mediating psychological mechanism. Here, we draw upon life-history theory (LHT) to investigate associations between future orientation and ...
متن کاملVoting Paradoxes
The early work of Condorcet in the 18th century, and that of Arrow and others in the 20th century, revealed the complex and interesting mathematical problems that arise in the theory of Social Choice, showing that the simple process of voting leads to strikingly counter-intuitive paradoxes. I will describe some of these, focusing on several recent intriguing examples whose analysis combines com...
متن کاملThe Semantic Paradoxes and the Paradoxes of Vagueness
Both in dealing with the semantic paradoxes and in dealing with vagueness and indeterminacy, there is some temptation to weaken classical logic: in particular, to restrict the law of excluded middle. The reasons for doing this are somewhat different in the two cases. In the case of the semantic paradoxes, a weakening of classical logic (presumably involving a restriction of excluded middle) is ...
متن کاملGeometry, Voting, and Paradoxes
What could be easier than “voting?” After all, to vote we just count how many people favor each candidate. What can go wrong with something so elementary as this? Actually, a lot. As mathematicians and others have shown over the last two centuries, once there are at least three candidates—not an atypical situation—the winner need not be whom the voters really want. Such bad outcomes may occur n...
متن کاملPentagrams and Paradoxes
Klyachko and coworkers consider an orthogonality graph in the form of a pentagram, and in this way derive a Kochen-Specker inequality for spin 1 systems. In some low-dimensional situations Hilbert spaces are naturally organised, by a magical choice of basis, into SO(N) orbits. Combining these ideas some very elegant results emerge. We give a careful discussion of the pentagram operator, and the...
