… those ones that mother gives you that don’t do anything at all!

  • In response to

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidary_obligations

    >Contractual solidary obligations are frequently created by insurance policies

    (take on solidarity v love-- later..)

    >The origin of solidarity can be traced to a Roman idea known as correality where a single thing was owed by more than one person [but only one person need ever be accountable for it]

    • In games where any given strategy is potentially exploitable, I guess the meta is (a) rapidly decide if you're playing against a fish, or if you are the fish; then (b) if against a fish, exploit their strat, or (c) if you are the fish, run a mixed strat, to at least avoid yours being exploitable.

      Bottom box as primordial "third person" would go along with egolessness in various traditions (including 李小龙's "be water, my friend")? EDIT: https://ctext.org/dao-de-jing#n11598 ?

      Note that solidarity from roman law was directly taken up by civil codes, but HN's home country is a common law jurisdiction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_legal_systems...

      ("joint and several liability" seems to cover passive, but not active, solidarity?)

  • Not mother (or one of the universal mascots of fecundity[1]) only something to feed the festive fire

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_hares

    >There are two possible and perhaps concurrent reasons why the three hares may have found popularity as a symbol within the church. Firstly, it was believed that the hare was hermaphrodite and could reproduce without loss of virginity.[26] This led to an association with the Virgin Mary, with hares sometimes occurring in illuminated manuscripts and Northern European paintings of the Virgin and Christ Child.
