Many of these requests are made by veterans seeking records or individuals making Social Security Administration requests — ordinary Americans accessing their government through a tool that news organizations fought to bring into existence.

They found instances where moving (but not stationary) atoms spitting out packets of light energy would bring into existence a tiny force that acted like friction, and published research on it earlier this year.

These are some of the reasons why the New York Public Library's collection of performances on film and video took so much effort to bring into existence and requires some hoop-jumping to access.

The way I see it, people like Adam Smith (the 18th-century Scottish philosopher and economist) wanted to construct a new type of person in order to bring into existence a set of market relations that they thought would be good and admirable.

While Palihapitiya didn't specifically call out Facebook by name on CNBC, he's made pointed criticism several times recently about how damaging social media has been to U.S. society — and has specifically said he feels "tremendous guilt " about what he helped bring into existence.

Of course, people disagree and argue that disability doesn't affect levels of well-being, or people can disagree about which kinds of disability negatively affect wellbeing and which ones don't, or about which measures society should implement in order to reduce or eliminate the impact of certain disability on wellbeing, or people can disagree about the claim that well-being is relevant at all in deciding which people we should bring into existence.

One thing is to discuss whether different levels of well-being can be influenced by having a severe disability and whether it would be best not to bring into existence a potential future disabled person, as Peter and Jeff and many others argued, and one completely different thing is to say that already existing disabled people should be targeted and made worse off, which no person in their right mind would say, because indeed there is no good argument that could ever support such view.

Jeff McMahan describes the asymmetry by saying that One response to this challenge has been to reject this asymmetry and claim that just as we have reasons not to bring into existence a being who will have a bad life, we have reasons to bring into existence a being who will have a good life.Holtug, Nils (2004). "Person-affecting Moralities". In Jesper Ryberg and Torbjörn Tännsjö, eds.

The Hamun is fed by numerous seasonal water tributaries; the main tributary is the perennial Helmand River, which originates in Afghanistan Hindu Kush mountains. In modern times, and prior to the existence of the dams for agricultural irrigation, spring floods would bring into existence much larger lakes.

Leibniz indicates that a world is a set of compossible things, however, that a world is a kind of collection of things that God could bring into existence. For not even God can bring into existence a world in which there is some contradiction among its members or their properties. When Leibniz speaks of a possible world, he means a set of compossible, finite things that God could have brought into existence if he were not constrained by the goodness that is part of his nature. The actual world, on the other hand, is simply that set of finite things that is instantiated by God, because it is greatest in goodness, reality and perfection.

Some philosophers have endorsed suffering-focused views because they consider that these are the only views that can solve some problems in the field of population ethics, in particular the asymmetry. According to this asymmetry, there is no obligation to bring into existence an individual who we can expect to have a good life, but there is an obligation not to bring into existence an individual who we can expect to have a bad life.Elstein, Daniel J. (2005) "The Asymmetry of Creating and Not Creating Life", The Journal of Value Inquiry, 39, 49–59. doi:10.1007/s10790-006-7256-4.Algander, Per (2012). "A Defence of the Asymmetry in Population Ethics", Res Publica, 18 (2): 145–57. doi:10.1007/s11158-011-9164-0Bradley, Ben (2013) "Asymmetries in Benefiting, Harming and Creating", The Journal of Ethics, 17,37–49. doi:10.1007/s10892-012-9134-6.

Allowing God's creatures to become more attached to God would thus allow them to experience this ultimate receivable good. Thus, the purpose of creation was to bring into existence a creature who could derive pleasure from God's own good. God further recognized that for humanity to most enjoy this good, humanity would have to feel that humanity had earned it. God therefore arranged that humanity be able to perceive right and wrong, and have access to both.

He proposed that the mind emerges not entirely from brain activity but from an interacting nexus of brain, body, and world. He therefore endorses embodied cognition, holding that neuroscience wrongly endorses a form of Cartesian materialism, an indictment also issued by many others.Bennett, M. R. and P. M. S. Hacker, (2003), Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience, Malden (Mass), Blackwell. Dwelling on John Dewey’s heritage, he argues that the brain and the body bring into existence the mind as a "behavioral field" in the environment.

Scovell was a Liberal who aligned himself with Prime Minister David Lloyd George and his Coalition Government. In 1919 he became General Secretary of Lloyd George's Coalition Liberal organisation, helping to bring into existence the National Liberal Party.‘SCOVELL, Lt-Col George Julian Selwyn’, Who Was Who, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2016; online edn, Oxford University Press, 2014 ; online edn, April 2014 accessed 25 Nov 2016 In 1923 the two Liberal parties merged back together again and Scovell became Liberal candidate for the Broxtowe division at the 1923 General Election. He was unsuccessful and did not stand for parliament again.

Rather, Judaism in that case would call upon its adherents to give even greater reverence than ever before to the one, sole God Who, in His boundless creative wisdom and eternal omnipotence, needed to bring into existence no more than one single, amorphous nucleus and one single law of "adaptation and heredity" in order to bring forth, from what seemed chaos but was in fact a very definite order, the infinite variety of species we know today, each with its unique characteristics that sets it apart from all other creatures. (Collected Writings, vol. 7 pp. 263-264) By the early to mid-1900s, the majority of Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism came to accept the existence of evolution as a scientific fact.

Schizoanalysis was developed over a long period of time as a response to the perceived shortcomings in the basic premises of psychoanalytic practice and as the culmination of Guattari's work with institutional psychotherapy at the La Borde clinic. Guattari was directly confronted with such problems in the work of Sigmund Freud—namely, the use of the Oedipus complex as a starting point for the analysis, and the authoritarian role of the psychoanalyst in relationship to the patient. Guattari was interested in a practice that could derive from given systems of enunciation and preexisting subjective structures new "assemblages [agencements] of enunciation" capable of forging new coordinates of analysis and to bring into existence unforeseen propositions and representations. By the time of "Five Propositions on Psychoanalysis" (1973),Gilles Deleuze, Desert Islands and Other Texts, 1953–1974, MIT Press, 2004 (pp.

In particular, they claim it may be ethically objectionable to bring into existence large numbers of animals that suffer greatly during their often- short lives in the wild. There are also concerns that even with full terraformation, distinct differences between Earth and Mars, such as gravity, lengths of the day and night cycles, and differing/lacking magnetic fields, would cause harm to many introduced species that have evolved for millions of years under Earth conditions. Though some species may survive, and others possibly could be adapted through genetic modification, if the introduced species were isolated on Mars and not frequently interbred with Earth counterparts, the species would eventually evolve through many generations in order to better suit their new environment, possibly leading to different evolutionary lines. Thus, the introduced life may eventually look and act very different from their Earthly counterparts and/or ancestors.
