Philosopher Nick lead us through a funny "rational" exercise of determining if we should annoy a sibling or not. The point was to identify as many of the variables one should be aware of, to do good philosophy, and then to relate those variables to each other.
We needed to know the order of operations: pemdas: parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
Here's our formula:
Si
SA - (DR)
P
S = sibling annoyance level, from 1 (low) to 9 (high)
A = age of sibling
D = desire for annoying sibling
R = revenge ability and likelihood of sibling
Si = Situation's likelihood of escalating the revenge
P = parental awareness and annoyance
