| haxxiy said: It took 118 posts for Goldwin's law to come into effect. On average, that translates to there was about a 0.585% chance of a Hitler mention in any given post this thread, assuming we are talking about sure convergence of random variables... I think? I haven't studied any maths like that for many years. |
You always need a point of comparison to see how something scales up to it.
I have heard about Goldwin's law but I don't understand the relevance of it? Not saying you don't have a point, I'm just saying I don't get why it keeps coming back every time Hitler is mentioned?
Hitler being the epitome of evil it seems natural to me that when people (like some in this thread) admit that some people have no value to them and their deaths is not important to them especially if murdering them can save their own skin or a number of people that is superior to the amount of murdered people automatically justifies murder and human sacrifice, we are then in "Hitler" levels of evil.
For whatever crazy reason Hitler was convinced that Jews are some kind of "pollutant" that makes the human race flawed and without purity so from that evil and misguided point the mathematical equation that killing 6 million Jews to save 50 million Germans is correct, MATHEMATICALLY speaking of course cause humanely speaking it is PURE EVIL.
This "mathematical" correctness is showing up its ugly head in this thread so hello Goldwin and your law, take a seat and have a drink cause with everything horrible that happens in the world, from simple discussions in forums revealing dark minds to actual murders, war, famine and everything in between happening in the world, you Mr Goldwin are not going anywhere anytime soon.
