That’s precisely why it is a mathematical problem… Math can’t SOLVE this problem
Ahem.
in the context of modern government with a police force, international oversight, etc.
I would be quite interested to learn who exerts “international oversight” over, say, USA.
Besides, are you really saying a “modern” government can do no wrong??
assuming there’s already a rule of law in place, you can maximize how effective those laws are
I’m sorry, I’m not talking about the executive function of the government which merely implements the laws, I’m talking about the legislative function which actually makes the laws. There is no assumption of the base state of anarchy.
You claimed this is a mathematical problem, but in the next breath said that math can’t solve it. Then what was the point of claiming it to be a math problem in the first place? Just because dealing with it involves numbers? That does not make it a math problem.
The UN
LOL. Can we please stick a bit closer to the real world?
Would a historical example of what you’re talking about be the legality of slavery?
Actually, the first example that comes to mind is the when the US decided that all Americans who happen to be of Japanese descent and have the misfortune to live on the West Coast need to be rounded up and sent to concentration, err.. internment camps.
Ahem.

This isn’t helpful. There’s nothing for me to respond to.
The UN (specifically, other very powerful countries that trade with the US).

Let me unroll my ahem.

Problems can have a mathematical aspect without being completely solvable by math.
