Was the posse insane or was it a posse of insane clowns

[–] Zehzin 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

If you have an insane posse, any clowns belonging to it are also insane. Likewise, if insane clows are part of a posse, that posse has to be insane.

[–] Vinny_93 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That makes sense. But it gets more difficult when posses consist of more than just insane clowns. I suppose when you're talking about a posse of insane clowns, the odds of it containing sane jugglers are pretty small. But when you're talking about an insane posse of nondescript clowns, the posse must consist of at least half plus one insane clowns. The other clowns can be anything in between.

But this is assuming that a posse can only be described as insane if at least half of the posse needs to be insane to make it an insane posse.

I believe the principle of one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel applies here.

I don't disagree but for the sake of argument I would like to know why this principle applies

For me this just raises the question: What is a Juggalo?

[–] Okokimup 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Insanity is an emergent property.

[–] Vinny_93 1 points 4 months ago

With that attitude this whole discussing will fall apart very quick

The clowns were driven to insanity because they just couldn't figure out how magnets work

They're not exactly trying to avoid looking insane so probably the latter
