Missouri voters are deciding on a measure that could make it much harder to amend the state constitution. Proposed Amendment 4 on Tuesday's ballot would require future amendments proposed by citizen initiatives to pass in all eight congressional districts, not just by a simple statewide majority. No other state has such a high standard. Supporters say it ensures all voices are heard. But critics argue it undermines majority rule. The proposal applies only to citizen initiatives, not those referred by the Legislature. Missouri's measure comes after other states have tried to make it harder to pass initiated amendments by requiring a 60% threshold statewide.

New edit for clarification: I’m asking whether this specific kind of moral argument has its own recognized name, the same way utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, or virtue ethics each have their own name. The kind of argument I mean works like this: if you try to argue against the position, your own argument ends up relying on the very thing you were trying to deny, so denying it contradicts yourself.(ie. saying language doesn't exist) Gewirth’s theory is a somewhat known example of this kind of argument. Is there an established label for this style of reasoning, morality grounded in avoiding self-contradiction, the way there’s a label for ‘consequences matter most’ (utilitarianism) or ‘duty matters most’ (Kantian ethics)? Or does it just get discussed as Gewirth’s own personal theory without a broader category name? Gewirth’s Principle of Generic Consistency argues that any purposive(Goal-directed) agent is dialectically committed to affirming certain rights, on pain of self-contradiction. Is there a recognized meta-ethical category or school this kind of argument belongs to, beyond just ‘Gewirth’s own view’? I’m aware of Kant’s universalizability test as a related precedent, but I’m asking specifically about coherence or self-contradiction-based groundings for morality as a category, rather than about Kantian ethics broadly. Is this treated as its own recognized approach in the literature, or does it usually get folded into discussions of Kantian constructivism without its own separate classification?

This is an exclusively logical variant of another post of mine that was deleted. Now it Consider the following analogy: Pedro, Carmen, and Ana are very intelligent. Pedro is also very cultured. The latter sentence is grammatical and cannot be refuted, but the way the premise is presented is ambiguous and generates confusion: any reader might assume that only Pedro is cultured among the three. By linking culture solely to Pedro within a structure that groups all three under intelligence, language creates an invisible hierarchy, an effect of focus that conceals the possibilities of Carmen and Ana. Pedro(P), Carmen(C), Ana(A) Intelligent(x) ≡ Ix Cultured(x) ≡ Cx Premises: IP∧IC∧IA CP CP∧CC∧CA ∃xCx ¬CC∧CA F = Restrictive focus operator F(CP)→(CP∧¬CC∧¬CA) Does might this force us to always speak as if we had a logic manual in our hands to avoid misinterpretations?

Dell Technologies’ DELL Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) is benefiting from sustained commercial demand. Large enterprise customers continue to refresh aging PC fleets across all regions, while roughly one-third of the installed base still consists of devices that are four years or older, leaving meaningful room for additional upgrades. Commercial customers continue to represent the primary growth engine for CSG. Strong enterprise demand, higher attach rates for peripherals and improved scale helped lift CSG operating income 79% year over year, while profitability benefited from a richer commercial mix and improving consumer margins.DELL highlighted continued innovation across its PC portfolio, including Dell Pro Max AI desktops supporting NVIDIA GB10 and GB300 platforms. Dell is positioning AI-enabled commercial PCs as part of its end-to-end AI strategy, enabling enterprises to run AI workloads locally while keeping sensitive data on-premises. These capabilities are expected to support premium PC demand over the coming quarters.Although enterprise remains the key driver, Dell reported a third consecutive quarter of demand growth in consumer revenues, aided by ongoing strength in gaming systems. This provides incremental support to overall CSG revenues while diversifying growth beyond commercial PCs.However, CSG is expected to suffer from a global memory shortage that is expected to continue through the end of 2027. This is likely to force PC vendors like Dell, Lenovo LNVGY and HP HPQ to contend with rising DRAM and NAND prices, limited system configurations and tighter product availability. IDC now forecasts global PC shipments to decline 11.3% in 2026, with conditions expected to worsen during the second half as memory shortages intensify. DELL expects CSG operating margins to moderate to roughly 6% in the upcoming quarter as the company balances customer demand, competitive pricing, market-share gains and profitability.DELL Faces Tough Competition in PCDell is facing significant competition from the likes of HP and Lenovo in the PC space.Lenovo is intensifying competition with Dell by strengthening its leadership in premium PCs, commercial devices and AI-enabled systems while consistently outgrowing the broader PC market. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Lenovo reported 26% year-over-year growth in PC revenues and achieved a record 24.4% global PC market share. Lenovo is also differentiating itself through AI PCs, premiumization and supply-chain execution. The company’s AI strategy includes the rollout of the QIRA personal AI assistant across PCs, tablets and smartphones and new AI-focused commercial desktops, such as the ThinkCentre Neo 50q.HP remains a key challenger to Dell by leveraging strong momentum in its Personal Systems business, particularly in commercial PCs and premium AI-enabled devices. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Personal Systems revenues increased 13% year over year, with commercial revenues rising 14% and consumer revenues up 10%. HP highlighted continued share gains in premium PC categories, strong growth in AI PCs, Advanced Compute Solutions and Workforce Solutions, as well as higher-value unit placements that supported profitability. These initiatives directly compete with Dell's strategy of expanding its premium commercial PC portfolio. HP is further challenging Dell through its AI-at-the-edge strategy and expanding software ecosystem.DELL’s Share Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesDell’s shares have appreciated 221.5% year to date, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s rise of 6.9%.DELL Stock Outperforms Sector Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month price/earnings of 19.49X compared with HP’s 9.13X and Lenovo’s 14.98X.

GE Aerospace GE and Northrop Grumman Corporation NOC are two familiar names operating in the aerospace and defense industry. As rivals, both companies are engaged in producing highly engineered aircraft components for commercial and military aircraft in the United States and internationally.Both companies have been enjoying significant growth opportunities in the aerospace and defense space on account of the improving air traffic trend and the expansionary U.S. budgetary policy over the past couple of years. Let’s take a closer look at their fundamentals, growth prospects and challenges.The Case for GE AerospaceGE Aerospace is benefiting from the higher utilization of engine platforms, driven by strong momentum and growth across commercial and defense aerospace sectors. Solid demand for LEAP, GEnx & GE9X engines and services, supported by growth in air traffic, fleet renewal and expansion activities, is driving the performance of the Commercial Engines & Services business.In the first half of 2026, the company secured several major engine orders and service agreements. GE clinched orders from United Airlines and Delta Air Lines to deliver GEnx engines, while it received orders for LEAP engines from American Airlines and Copa Airlines. Copa Airlines selected up to 120 LEAP-1B engines to power its expanding Boeing 737 MAX fleet. It also entered into a long-term materials agreement to support Ryanair’s fleet of about 2,000 CFM56 and LEAP engines.The company is also making progress under its FLIGHT DECK lean model, including supplier improvements that contributed to Commercial Engines & Services business’ revenues. In the second quarter of 2026, the segment’s engine deliveries increased 26% from the prior-year quarter, indicating better throughput as the company works through customer demand. The Commercial Engines & Services segment’s revenues and orders jumped 27% and 18%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter.Solid demand for the company’s propulsion & additive technologies, critical aircraft systems and aftermarket services in the defense sector is boosting the Defense & Propulsion Technologies business’ performance. GE received a contract from Turkish Aerospace Industries (“TAI”) to continue integrating its F404 engine into Türkiye's Hurjet jet trainer. It also clinched a $1.4 billion deal for T408 engines to support the U.S. Marine Corps’ CH-53K helicopter fleet. In second-quarter 2026, the Defense & Propulsion Technologies segment’s revenues increased 16% year over year and orders grew 12%.The company’s shareholder-friendly policies also add to its appeal. In the first six months of 2026, it paid dividends of $873 million, up 26.9% year over year, to its shareholders. It also raised its dividend by 30.6% to 36 cents per share in February 2026. In the same period, the company repurchased shares for $4.2 billion.The Case for Northrop GrummanNorthrop is expected to continue generating steady organic growth in 2026 and beyond as it continues to win new awards and thereby convert the robust backlog, which was $104.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, into solid sales growth. Such a robust backlog count is backed by increasing demand for the company’s defense products and rising global defense budget support, which in turn should boost Northrop’s revenue-generating prospects substantially.The current U.S. government’s inclination toward strengthening the nation’s defense system should act as a growth catalyst for defense contractors like Northrop. Considering that sales from Northrop to the U.S. government comprised 84% of its total sales in 2025, solid funding provisions from the administration are expected to lead to a solid inflow of contracts for Northrop. Foreign military sales also serve as a key growth catalyst for Northrop. The company’s international sales totaled $1.54 billion in the second quarter of 2026, comprising 14% of total sales. Region-wise, Northrop is witnessing significant opportunities for its Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) and other weapons in Europe. Moreover, the long-standing conflicts in different parts of the Middle East have also been fueling demand for modern defense products.NOC also remains committed to rewarding its shareholders through dividends and buybacks. In the first six months of 2026, it paid dividends of $684 million, up 7.9% year over year, to its shareholders. It also raised its dividend by 6.9% to $2.47 per share in May 2026. In the same period, the company repurchased shares for $68 million.Despite the positives, NOC’s highly leveraged balance sheet remains concerning. Exiting the second quarter, Northrop’s long-term debt was high at $14.4 billion. Considering the high debt level, its cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 billion do not look impressive.Price PerformanceImage Source: Zacks Investment ResearchIn the past six months, GE Aerospace shares have risen 15%, while Northrop stock has lost 21.9%.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for GE & NOCImage Source: Zacks Investment ResearchThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for GE’s 2026 sales and earnings per share (EPS) implies year-over-year growth of 19.7% and 23.4%, respectively. EPS estimates for both 2026 and 2027 have increased over the past 60 days.Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Northrop’s 2026 sales and EPS implies year-over-year growth of 4.9% and 9.5%, respectively. EPS estimates for both 2026 and 2027 have been raised over the past 60 days.Valuation of GE & NorthropImage Source: Zacks Investment ResearchNorthrop is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 17.99X, close to its median of 18.74X over the last three years. GE’s forward earnings multiple sits at 41.88X, higher than its median of 37.01X over the same time frame.Final TakeGE Aerospace’s strong momentum in the commercial and defense aerospace markets, driven by solid build rates, wide-body aircraft demand and a robust defense budget, bodes well for growth. Given the strength across most of its served markets, GE has built a sound liquidity position that supports its shareholder-friendly policies.In contrast, Northrop’s strength in the defense aerospace market, along with its robust pipeline of projects, favors well for its growth. Its shareholder-friendly policies add to its appeal. However, this has been marred by the supply-chain challenges and high debt level, which might affect its performance.Despite its steeper valuation, GE holds robust prospects due to strong estimates, stock price appreciation and better prospects for sales and profit growth. Given these factors, GE seems a better pick for investors than Northrop currently. While GE carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), Northrop currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Payments investors looking beyond the largest networks face two different choices — Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. PRTH and DLocal Limited DLO. Priority is building a U.S.-focused commerce platform that combines merchant acquiring, payables and treasury tools. dLocal helps global companies collect payments, send payouts and settle funds across emerging markets through one connection. Both businesses benefit as payments become more digital and companies seek fewer vendors, better data and smoother money movement. Yet, their growth engines and financial profiles differ. Priority is expanding from traditional merchant processing into higher-value treasury and payables services, while dLocal is scaling cross-border infrastructure across more than 60 countries. Results in recent quarters support both stories, but they also highlight different risks. Priority carries substantial debt and has slower card-volume growth. dLocal is growing much faster, though its take rate and margins can move with country, merchant and payment-method mix. The better choice depends on growth quality, balance sheet strength, execution and price.The Case for PRTHPriority’s main strength is the breadth of its platform. Its Commerce Engine combines merchant acceptance, automated payables, banking and treasury services, letting customers collect, store, lend and send money through one relationship. That approach can deepen customer ties and reduce reliance on basic card processing, where competition and pricing pressure remain persistent.The business mix is improving. Payables and Treasury Solutions produced 63% of adjusted gross profit in the first quarter, and recurring revenues also represented 63%. Payables revenues rose 36%, while Treasury Solutions revenues increased 17%, showing that Priority’s faster-growing units are becoming more important.Priority is also finding practical ways to expand. The Pittsburgh Steelers partnership combines ticketing payment processing with Passport treasury orchestration, offering a clear example of cross-selling payments and cash-management tools. Compared with dLocal’s international network, Priority’s opportunity is centered on adding products and vertical solutions within its U.S. ecosystem for customers and partners alike. Still, the merchant business remains mixed. Card volume grew only 2.5%, average merchant accounts declined, and management expects low-single-digit organic volume growth. Acquisitions supported reported growth, so investors should separate purchased expansion from organic momentum.The largest restraint is financial leverage. Priority ended March with about $928 million of net debt and a 4.0 times net leverage ratio. Free cash flow and planned debt reduction can improve that position, but interest costs limit flexibility. Priority offers a credible platform story, though slower core growth and a leveraged balance sheet argue for patience rather than a stronger stance today.The Case for DLOdLocal offers a more direct growth case. Its platform gives global merchants one API, one contract, and one connection for accepting payments, making payouts and settling funds in emerging markets. That solves a difficult problem because each country can have payment methods, regulations, currencies, banks and consumer habits. Its scale is expanding rapidly. First-quarter total payment volume reached $14.1 billion, up 73% year over year, while revenues rose 55%, and gross profit increased 40%. These numbers indicate that merchants increasingly want local processing and wider emerging-market coverage. Compared with Priority, dLocal has a narrower strategic focus but a wider geographic runway. Priority is assembling financial tools around U.S. customers, while dLocal is extending a cross-border network across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. More countries, payment methods and merchant relationships can make the network harder to replicate.However, there are risks. Gross profit as a percentage of payment volume declined as dLocal added large merchants, new methods and lower-take-rate volume. Operating expenses also rose quickly, and first-quarter free cash flow was reduced by working-capital timing. Investors should expect uneven margins as the mix changes. Even so, dLocal’s balance sheet gives it room to invest through those swings. Corporate cash reached about $452 million, and normalized net income still grew 11%. Its addition to the Russell 2000 may improve visibility and liquidity, though that is not an operating catalyst. With faster growth, strong cash resources and a large market opportunity, dLocal presents the more attractive long-term setup.How Do Estimates Compare for PRTH & DLO?The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Priority’s 2026 and 2027 sales implies year-over-year growth of 8.47% and 6.14%, respectively. The consensus mark for 2026 and 2027 EPS suggests a year-over-year increase of 20.39% and 16.94%, respectively. Over the past 60 days, estimates for PRTH’s 2026 and 2027 EPS have remained unchanged. For Priority:Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for dLocal’s 2026 and 2027 sales calls for year-over-year growth of 38.34% and 25.48%, respectively. The consensus estimate for 2026 EPS has been revised upward over the past week, while the same for 2027 has been kept unchanged. The figures suggest a year-over-year increase of 2.50% and 31.30%, respectively.For DLocal:Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchPrice Performance and Valuation of PRTH & DLOSo far in the year, Priority shares have rallied 17.6%, while dLocal shares have risen 6.6%. In comparison, the S&P 500 composite has advanced 8.2% in the same time frame. Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchPRTH is trading at a forward price-to-sales of 0.51X, which is above its one-year median of 0.47X. Meanwhile, DLO is presently trading at a forward price-to-sales of 2.54X, which is below its one-year median of 2.87X. PRTH has a Value Score of A, while DLO has a Value Score of B.Priority therefore looks cheaper, reflecting slower organic growth, high debt and interest costs. dLocal’s premium reflects faster volume, revenues and gross-profit expansion, plus stronger cash resources.Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchConclusionPriority and dLocal both have credible paths to benefit from digital payments, but they offer different trade-offs. Priority’s commerce platform, improving revenue mix and treasury growth deserve recognition. However, modest card-volume growth and substantial leverage reduce its room for error and make the shares better suited to investors already positioned, while debt declines. dLocal carries mix and execution risks, yet its much faster payment-volume growth, expanding emerging-market network, healthy cash position and stronger financial flexibility create a better risk-reward balance. Between the two, dLocal is the stock to consider adding, while Priority is best kept without increasing exposure for now.DLO has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), while PRTH carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

I’ve recently seen some members here griping over religious positions, as though they do not belong on a site like this. Looking at this old question, it seems like the consensus back then was that it is difficult to establish a clean line between the two. Reading some of the answers further down, they discussed the difference between rational conclusions and faith-based conclusions, but any act of “rationality” implicitly depends on faith that your brain works, seeing as you don’t know how you will or how you are conscious. Some of the other answers rely on dogmatic traditions, however the mystical formats of various religions tend to avoid dogma in favor of personal lived experience. Further, from a Christian perspective we have this scene from Acts 17: 16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” 21 (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.) 22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. 24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[b] 29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” 32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others. It seems pretty obvious that early OG philosophers were inextricably intertwined with religion. Where would the community here like to draw the line today, as opposed to the line drawn in that question from more than a decade ago cited at the top?
