The letters of last resort contain orders on what action to take if an enemy nuclear strike has both destroyed the government and has also killed or otherwise incapacitated both the prime minister and their designated "second person" of responsibility, typically a high-ranking member of the cabinet such as the deputy prime minister or the first secretary of state. If the orders are carried out, the action taken could be the last official act of the government. For the sake of this debate, we shall assume that the two options are to retaliate with nuclear weapons, or to not retaliate. We are explicitly not considering options that foist off decision-making to another actor (like the submarine commander, or another nation).

A Karmic Score refers to a point system that measures your good and bad deeds. Points are given for any physical action a person undertakes. The Karmic Score weighs out the weight of each action and assigns a score which is accurate to each action. If your good deeds outnumber your bad deeds, your score will be a positive number, while if your bad deeds outnumber your good deeds, your score will be a negative number.

The "Kids Online Safety Act" or "KOSA" is an act that aims to enhance the protection of children online. Some measures associated with the act include: - Requiring social media platforms to provide their young users (age 16 years and below) options to protect their online information, disable features that would cause them addiction, and opt out of algorithmic recommendations (I.e. Prevent companies from using their data to recommend content to them, Prevent harmful content from being displayed in their feed, etc...) - Giving parents provision to support children under their care and identify harmful behaviour, such as allowing parents to have access to their children's messages - Creating accountability for social media platforms to act in preventing and mitigating content that could harm minors. Such content includes the promotion of unlawful products for minors (e.g. gambling and alcohol), self-harm, substance abuse, eating disorder, sexual exploitation, and suicide.

The "Bun Cha Voting Model" refers to a system of vote allocation where more votes are allocated to the poor. The allocation is also progressive, meaning the poorer the citizen is, the more votes they have.

"Emotionally descriptive literature is literature that aims to accurately represent people’s feelings, thoughts, and opinions, even those which are harmful or problematic. Examples of such literature include Taylor Swift’s ""Better than Revenge"", Carrie Underwood’s """"Before he Cheats”, and Sally Rooney’s Conversation with Friends. Emotionally prescriptive literature depicts idealized versions of emotions, where feeling are portrayed as correct or incorrect. Examples include Taylor Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down”, and Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice."

"""Global South"" is a broad term that generally refers to countries that are located in the southern hemisphere. Often the nations can be less developed than the countries in the northern hemisphere. The term is often used to refer to countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, but it can also include other regions such as the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean. The examples of economic development projects at the expense of natural reserves in the global south are but not limited to the deforestation in the Amazon rainforest and the Son Doong cave in Vietnam that has attracted thousands of tourists."

The concept of ‘banality of evil’ claims that most perpetrators of great acts of evil are ordinary people, with no motive other than promoting their own advancement in society. Under this concept, perpetrators do not have to be "radically evil" and can be responsible for atrocities through their common acts or omissions.

The collective parenting model refers to a model of community where the responsibilities of caring for all children in the community rest equally on the shoulders of all adults in the township in addition to their biological parents and the community as a whole is seen as one 'family.'

(1) Epicureanism argued that pleasure was the chief good in life. Hence, Epicurus advocated living in such a way as to derive the greatest amount of pleasure possible during one’s lifetime, yet doing so moderately in order to avoid the suffering incurred by overindulgence in such pleasure. Emphasis was placed on pleasures of the mind rather than on physical pleasures. Unnecessary and, especially, artificially produced desires were to be suppressed. Since the political life could give rise to desires that could disturb virtue and one’s peace of mind, such as a lust for power or a desire for fame, participation in politics was discouraged. Further, Epicurus sought to eliminate the fear of the gods and of death, seeing those two fears as chief causes of strife in life. Epicurus actively recommended against passionate love, and believed it best to avoid marriage altogether. He viewed recreational sex as a natural, but not necessary desire that should be generally avoided. (2) Epicurus laid great emphasis on developing friendships as the basis of a satisfying life. While the pursuit of pleasure formed the focal point of the philosophy, this was largely directed to the “static pleasures” of minimizing pain, anxiety and suffering. ""When we say . . . that pleasure is the end and aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do by some through ignorance, prejudice or wilful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and of trouble in the soul. It is not by an unbroken succession of drinking bouts and of revelry, not by sexual lust, nor the enjoyment of fish and other delicacies of a luxurious table, which produce a pleasant life; it is sober reasoning, searching out the grounds of every choice and avoidance, and banishing those beliefs through which the greatest tumults take possession of the soul."""
