Relevant Sections of the Constitution: Article III, Section 1: This section establishes the judicial power of the United States, stating that it "shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

 Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, often critiques political ideologies like those commonly associated with Democrats or liberals due to their tendency to prioritize collectivism and statism over individualism and capitalism. According to Rand, these ideologies often advocate for policies that involve the redistribution of wealth, government intervention in the economy, and the expansion of regulatory control, which she views as antithetical to the principles of freedom and individual rights. Rand considered collectivism, which is often embraced by liberal ideologies, as fundamentally opposed to the moral and practical benefits of capitalism. She argued that collectivism sacrifices the individual to the group, undermining personal freedoms and the pursuit of individual happiness. This is viewed as "evil" in her philosophy because it negates the moral purpose of life, which she sees as the pursuit of one's own rational self-interest and happiness. Additionally, Rand ...

 Laws of systemantics that explain how an incompetent person like Kamala Harris can run for president: The Peter Principle The Peter Principle, developed by Dr. Laurence J. Peter, states that in a hierarchical organization, employees tend to rise to their "level of incompetence".  corollaries: (1) In time, eerypost tend to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duries. (2) Work is accomplished and outcomes are achieved by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence. But the incompetent leaders get the credit. This occurs because: Competent employees are often promoted based on their performance in their current role, not necessarily their ability to perform in the higher position. Once an employee reaches a position where they are incompetent, they are no longer promoted further. While not a law, this principle describes a common organizational pattern that can lead to incompetent individuals in higher positions. Peter's Pl...

  To find an objective definition of "mental illness": (1) Reduce the concept to its perceptual level roots and basic fundamental axioms/principles: Perceptual level roots: Physical states/conditions of the brain Observable behaviors and experiences (thoughts, emotions, perceptions) Environmental/social factors Basic axioms/principles: The mind arises from the brain's biological processes Thoughts, emotions, behaviors are caused by neurological activity Brains can malfunction, just like other biological organs Genetic and environmental factors influence brain development/function (2) Additional intermediate steps/principles: Certain patterns of brain dysfunction correlate with specific clusters of abnormal thoughts, behaviors, emotional states These dysfunctional patterns can cause significant distress/impairment Mental disorders have descriptive diagnostic criteria based on observable symptoms Etiology involves complex gene-environment interactions (3) Measurable charact...

                     FIRST: Mental illness: objective definition: Definition: Mental illnesses are clinically significant disorders of/impairments in cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior reflecting dysfunction in underlying psychological, biological, or developmental processes involved in mental functioning. They are defined by validated diagnostic criteria specifying characteristic symptom patterns, disability/distress, and biomarker correlates when available. Mental disorders exist on a continuum of severity, based on degrees of functional impairment across major life activities. Their etiologies involve complex gene-environment interactions, with biological vulnerability and environmental stressors as key risk factors. Despite diverse presentations, all mental illnesses share a common core feature of disordered/impaired neural processes giving rise to dysfunctional psychological phenomena. Based on the objective definitio...

  The natural law of self-preservation, coupled with the God-given natural right to life, provides a solid foundation for justifying a perfect right to self-defense. And the perfect right to self-defense implies the perfect duty of self-defense.  Conservatives believe in the importance of individual rights and responsibilities, including the right to protect oneself and others from harm. Self-defense is viewed as a fundamental aspect of preserving one's life and the lives of those around them, aligning with the conservative value of upholding the sanctity of life. It is considered a moral duty to defend oneself against threats to life and property, as it reflects the inherent worth and dignity of each individual [1][4]. Conservatism emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and self-reliance, which includes the ability to defend oneself and others in the face of danger. The right to self-defense is seen as a natural extension of the God-given right to life, as every...
