No. Don’t post that. Too dark even for me.

Huh. Minority Report has nothing to do with math. Mutant psychics can see the future and predict crimes. You might want to look at utilitarian philosophy. That’s cold hard math. Things like causing immesurable suffering to one person in exchange for a slight increase in the quality of everyone...
