Scienter

Read a random definition: volatility

A quick definition of Scienter:

Scienter: Scienter means that someone knows they are doing something wrong before they do it. It's like when you know you shouldn't take a cookie from the cookie jar, but you do it anyway. The person has knowledge that what they are doing is not right.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Scienter refers to the intent or knowledge of wrongdoing. It means that a person knows that their actions are wrong before they commit them.

Examples:

  • A company knowingly sells a defective product to consumers.
  • An individual intentionally lies on their tax return to avoid paying taxes.
  • A person steals money from their employer, knowing that it is illegal.

These examples illustrate scienter because in each case, the person or company knew that their actions were wrong before they committed them. They had the intent or knowledge of wrongdoing, which is a key element in proving certain legal claims, such as fraud or insider trading.

@texaslawhopefully: Not necessarily but I believe what Aristotle used to say. He used to say you could not have a functioning political system if you can not get gender relations right. Or essentially that.
KS does negotiate! I got an email saying theyre doing it for the first time this year
its rather limited but its not nothing

@HopefullyInLawSchool: noted, thanks for the intel. I know we joke around but all things conidered, KS is goated

@BigStrongBug: Nah aristotle only applies gender as a role which I think either sex could fulfill. My issue with Trump's EO to limit things to only sex but I am fine with him doing it for now.
Yeah and Aristotle old as hell boy he would’ve died of hysteria after learning what the internet and tiktok is

@SplitterusClitterus: I think some school shootings could have been prevented if gender relations were better.
Very few of any,, none come to my mind tbh

Not mental health regarding gender and usually it’s a gun kids get right in the house

@SplitterusClitterus: Well, I would say almost every one of them. Either due to more stable households, community connections or even better treatment of those going through divorced and whatnot. Almost every shooter has at least one of these elements included with their reasons for killing.

@Dkk: No. Aristotle said the family was the fundamental political unit, which is different than what you're saying. But, more to the point, the American political system exists vis-a-vis to 17/18th century political thought, or classical liberalism. Of which the central assumption is that the highest end is social choice.
