Quote from: Glüc on July 06, 2026, 06:24:35 AMSidenote: corruption in football isn't a new, but the way FIFA is currently rigging the tournament in favour of the US at the request of orange dictator guy is really quite something else.

Yes... a lot of even people I normally like are saying stuff like, "FIFA is always corrupt."  But that kind of callow cynicism is always the problem with American politics!  We must demand better!

Now I am aware that this design philosophy in itself limits, as all schools can use the same concepts and elements as others; a philosophical text on religious practices can include empirical evidence, yet be about a constructivist topic within a rationalist foundational framework. I feel, however, that dealing with each subject's base/foundation framework of said knowledge means that we as a society hold to our mandate of "The function of the Royal Society is to conduct and promote research and academic study in all areas of human endeavour."

If forced to assign Education to exactly one school exclusively, it belongs to Constructivism.

Why Education fits here exclusively: Knowledge is Built, Not Given: Modern education relies on the fact that students do not just passively absorb facts like a sponge. Instead, they learn by taking new information and actively connecting it to their own past experiences to build their own understanding. Social Interaction Drives Learning: True education happens through language, culture, collaboration, and dialogue. This aligns perfectly with social constructivism, where truth and meaning are co-created within a community or classroom.The Role of the Teacher: In a constructivist framework, a teacher is not an all-knowing lecturer filling empty minds. They act as a facilitator, creating environments and experiences that allow students to discover and construct knowledge for themselves.

My design philosophy here is to avoid limiting specialisms purely to just knowledge bases alone (like just "science", "literature", etc.) and instead to the wider knowledge expansion within each field.

Another example could be philosophy, which cannot be empirical because you cannot put a concept like "justice," "beauty," or "the meaning of life" under a microscope. It cannot be constructivism because it actively seeks to critique how we build concepts. If forced into one box, philosophy is pure rationalism: it is the practice of arriving at fundamental truths entirely through logic, reason, and deep internal thought.

For example,

Health and Health science would fall under constructivism, as health itself is fundamentally a human construct; "wellness," "illness," "disability," or "mental health" changes completely depending on culture, societal standards, and individual perspective. This is separate from the study of biology, which is foundationally empirical.

I don't know if an amendment to extend the El Lexhátx section C 1.4.2 & 1.4.4 to amend the powers of prosecution for breaching these articles may be more expedient than the bill proposed, but again, just musing.

just from a minor bit of research (on an entirely separate matter), currently reads in El Lexhátx section C:

Quote1.4.2. No Public Record or Archive under the control of a Governmental body and/or the Royal Civil Service Body shall be destroyed, erased or otherwise disposed of without the written authorisation of the Royal Archivist. This Authorisation or Refusal must be announced on Wittenberg within three days of such Authorisation or Refusal is made. Authorisation or Refusal by the Royal Archivist for the destruction of an Archive may be overturned by a resolution passed by the Ziu.

as well as:

Quote1.4.4. Any person who damages or causes to be damaged any Public Archive or Record in the control of a Governmental or Royal Civil Service body; or damages or causes to be damaged any Public Archive in the control of a Private body, Community and/or Individual; or removes, destroys or erases such Public record or archive otherwise than in accordance with this provision or any other law, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanour if such damage, removal, destruction, or erasure was wilful, or guilty of a Class C misdemeanour if such damage, removal, destruction, or erasure was reckless.

Im going out on a limb here that 1.4.2 may apply to the wiki? Im a little rusty on my legal interpretations, dont @ me if im barking up the wrong tree

Thanks for doing this!
