Kavka's toxin puzzle»

inky:

I love a good thought experiment before bedtime. Via dailymeh:

An eccentric billionaire offers you a million dollars if at midnight tonight you intend to drink a vial of poison tomorrow afternoon. You are free to change your mind after midnight and not take the poison; you will receive the money whether you take the poison or not, so long as you at midnight sincerely intend to take it. Knowing all this, can you get the money, yet also avoid the poison?

The most familiar example of the Kavka’s Toxin puzzle in the real world is the Political Manifesto. Before an election, a political party will release a written document outlining their policies and plans should they win office. Many of these promises may be difficult or impossible to implement in practice. Having won, the party is not obligated to follow the manifesto even if they would have lost without it.

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, removed from office Sunday in a military-led coup, addressed the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday and said he would fly back to Honduras on Thursday, accompanied by the head of the Organization of American States.

Showdown Looms in Honduras: Rival Vows to Arrest Ousted President on His Return

Why the hell is the media calling what happened in Honduras a “military-led coup”?  The president was breaking the law.  His own Attorney General said so.  The Congress said so.  So did the Supreme Court.  Someone had to force him out, and it would seem that only the military had the actual ability to do so.

I don’t get it.

i was also shocked to see bbc reporting it as a regular military coup.
