@obscurosaur Atheism being a belief system cannot be transmitted through genes. The same is true of any belief system and also applies to advanced knowledge systems. A farmer's son is not born knowing how to grow corn (as an example). He has to learn it like anyone else.

@obscurosaur Atheism and also theism are both learned. What one considers as evidence, and if that evidence is deemed sufficient to either arrive at a belief in the existence of a deity (or deities) or not will vary from person to person.. based on their understanding at that point in time.

@obscurosaur The absence of record does not in anyway rule out the existence of atheism. Fact is, there are ancient religious texts warning against atheistic beliefs - indicating that there were people holding those beliefs.

@Almas @obscurosaur The term "disbeliever" may also refer to those who don't believe in this specific deity but who may not be atheistic or agnostic.

@praveen Yes, the entire judicial system needs to be overhauled. In the vast majority of cases, the judicial system simply does not work. This is something very few people are willing to acknowledge - especially the courts themselves. A working judicial system would have the following characteristics: Cases must be tried and completed without the huge delays that we are seeing now.

@praveen I think the legal system could use a software with a built in rules engine for allowing both sides to enter answer a series of questions using a decision tree and with an ability to scan and upload pre-authenticated documents to support their statements.If such a system included a decision-tree based logic for at least informing the judge as to which side is legally right or not, I wonder if this wouldn't drastically lower the time it takes for cases to go through the court system.

@praveen For instance, for a case where a tenant is squatting on a property, the landlord could initiate a case for illegal squatting and that specified decision tree logic will then ask him a series of questions and also ask him to furnish a set of pre-authenticated documents. The tenant will receive a notification and they will be able to counter with their own answers (via the decision tree logic) and also present their own documents to support their case.After this the court can step in

@sanjayuvacha May be a crazy question, but wouldn't the judiciary benefit from having a rules-based decision tree software for entering the arguments in the case, and answering questions? Both sides in a case can enter their answers as they are taken through the questions by the engine.This s/w could also support entering supporting evidence, documents etc.This engine could then advise the judge on what the decision ought to be?

@praveen True, but I am referring only to automating some aspects of the legal process to speed justice delivery. Social problems cannot be solved through automation.

@aashiks @praveen A lot of legal process is actually quite easily definable via a decision tree. Example: If a person is squatting on property, then a few questions about who is the actual owner of the property, whether there is an existing valid legally binding rental agreement etc can all lead to the correct decision support for the judge - that, this person is indeed an illegal squatter and should be asked to vacate the property.

@obscurosaur @sanjayuvacha The system could function like a decision support system which advises the judge/jury but the ultimate judgement will come from a human. This is similar to the decision support systems used in other areas - example, in healthcare.

@aashiks @praveen We don't necessarily need an AI driven system.. A simple system which processes a decision tree based on a rule engine should be sufficient.

@aashiks @praveen A fully open source solution where the rules are human readable and clear and which can be tested should work ok. Also, this is just a decision support system. The judge ultimately decides on the judgement.There are a number of existing opensource rules engines. Ex: Drools.

@aashiks @praveen Zainep's approach uses AI which has its problems in a legal scenario. Decision trees are already being used in legal scenarios and it is a lot easier to tell how a decision was arrived at:http://settlementperspectives.com/2009/01/decision-tree-analysis-in-litigation-the-basics/

Talking about AI, isn't it about time we replaced the current Indian president with a script which just hits a rubber stamp?

@Snehal_rasal @musafir Absolutely shameless president. A real disgrace to the position that he holds
