Such set of simplistic questions... No, thank you. No.

Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
There were certainly no gulags then and the entire "dissemination" of the "Moral Code" was publishing it in Pravda and including it in several lessons in schools. It was quickly ignored in the years after that. No repressions related to it ever occurred. No violence was there in connection with it or its dissemination. Yes, I don't like your cartoon picture of humans. And I am free to express my dislike here, as long as I don't violate the forum rules. What I suggested to drop earlier was specifically the conversation about MY experiences. Not generally about your proposal.

Which manner? I don't know where to start. There is no historical connection between the "Moral Code" and the violence. Your understanding is wrong. I think that your principles are as good as this "Moral Code", where the latter is an example.

I don't understand. Where is violence mentioned in my post?

Traffic, roads, and travel time
LOL. (had to google it to appreciate the joke, and learned something)

Traffic, roads, and travel time
If you are the only car on the road, the minimum travel time is .2 minutes, by the route AQPB, isn't it? OTOH, when they get to Q, they might expect that other drivers will think this way and thus it is smart to take QPB instead. If half drivers think so, in case T=200, then 100 drivers will have total time 20+10=30, another half will have 20+20=40, with the average of 35 minutes. Like before, if they split half and half, then the average will be 35 minutes. Without the extra road, for T=200, half take APB, half take AQB, and the average is 30 minutes. Adding the road, in this case, increases the average time.

Traffic, roads, and travel time
There are two traffic related threads going on right now, and here is a traffic related question which would've been OT in both, so I post it here. The points A and B are connected by two roads, APB and AQB. The section AP takes 20 minutes regardless of traffic. The section PB takes time equal to T/10, where T is the number of cars on the road. For example, if there are 200 cars on it, it takes 200/10 = 20 minutes. Similarly, AQ takes T/10 minutes and QB takes 20 minutes regardless of traffic. The city planners came up with an ingenious way of connecting points P and Q with a road that does not take any time at all regardless of traffic: How will it affect the average time of travel from A to B?

I don't want to express here what I think about these suggestions. I think it is better for all just to drop this conversation. Be happy.

What is the nature of our existence?
If you want to discuss your index then, I think, you better open a different thread, separately from the existence question.

Depends. I tend to feel good about being kind and helpful toward people toward whom I wanted to be kind and helpful. Depends. I tend to feel a sense of satisfaction when I learn something new that I wanted to learn. Not that clear either.

I am confused now. Do you suggest that you know what would make other people happy?

I'm curious, which solutions you allude to.

Neutral simultaneity for two frames.
No. Check relativistic velocities addition.

What is the nature of our existence?
I actually try to argue that existence of mathematical objects is a model for existence of all objects.

Super Gravity Produces Super Strength
I don't see a selective advantage of evolving to be 'super strong' in this situation. We'd be heavier. Perhaps this would make us to evolve to be smaller, with thicker bones and skeletal muscles, lighter and smaller heads. We'd spend more energy on holding and moving our own bodies. We'd be slower. Excess of oxygen would make us to age faster, and our lives would be shorter.

Does it? They wouldn't be accepted within the community of professional psychologists otherwise. As I've said,

Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
If there are, say, twenty credible hypotheses that appear to have some acceptance within the community of professional psychologists, and one of them is correct, then chances that any one of them is wrong are 95%.

Right. Then, since the story is probably wrong, drop the story and start your idea from the fact.
-
Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
Sorry, but it is a typical "just so story." With a little imagination, one can come up with endless stories pointing in any desired direction. Could it happen so? Perhaps, why not. Did it in fact happen? No idea.

I think it is an electron, regardless.

Is the universe at least 136 billion years old, is the universe not expanding at all, did the universe begin its expansion when Hubble measured its redshift for the first time or was light twice as fast 13.5 billion years ago than it is today?
Correct. This is already taken in account in the Friedmann equations.

Thoughts on religion
I agree about the dogs' behavior, with a caveat that they don't have to be puppies to internalize the rules. They do it very quickly as adults when a new human master with different rules takes over. I suspect that humans do the same, when their social environment changes.

Comoving with the on average homogeneous and isotropic space. How do you compare time then with time today?
