Just numbers. Notes about the Nature of a Digital World

Only digits really exist in the digital world as only matter exists in a material world. In the first one, all physical things are pure abstraction, similarly as all numbers in the second one. Digits are the only substance of the digital worlds. This hi-tech Pythagoreanism leads to a very serious consequences, not only for philosophy, but also for practice. Various concepts and rules, evident here, in the digital world may not work at all, or work improperly, and guide us to absurds when used mindlessly.

In the paper I discuss theoretical differences between left and right­libertarianism. (I will skip the specific and practical issues which differ left and right­libertarians, including among others the minorities and immigration policies or affirmative action. I assume that practical solutions suggested by the followers of both positions stem from their theoretical assumptions.) I will focus on two issues which determine the fundamental difference between left and right­libertarianism. These are property and equality. I compare standpoints of some leftlibertarians with the positions of rightlibertarians represented by Murray Rothbard, concerning property and equality. I conclude that the main and fundamental difference between leftand rightlibertarians concerns equality. Leftlibertarians are egalitarians whereas rightlibertarians are antiegalitarians. I also argue that egalitarian position is not compatible with the notion of full selfownership, which leftlibertarians advocate for.

The study discusses another statutory attempt to partially and ad hoc solution of the problem of claims of the former owners of the so-called Warsaw land. The main objective of the Act of 17 September 2020 amending the Act on the special rules for removing the legal effects of reprivatization decisions regarding real-estate in Warsaw, issued in violation of the law, and the Real-estate Management Act is to significantly reduce the scale of restitution of Warsaw real-estate by extending the list of grounds for refusing to grant the right of perpetual usufruct to the entitled entity and protection of tenants living in premises in reprivatized buildings. The act does not, in any way, end the process of settling accounts with the former owners.

The essence of freedoms and rights in the selected jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the right to property

The concept of the essence of freedom and rights shapes, together with the principle of proportionality, the extent of permissible interference in this sphere. The article addresses the problem of the possibility of prescription of a limited property right as a possible interference with this right as well as the relationship between Art. 31 sec. 3 and Art. 64. 3 of the Constitution in the context of possible differences in the level of protection they provide in the light of preserving the essence of the property right.

The paper sets out to present an outline of what is in fact a fullyfledged social theory, termed socioeconomic structural ism. The paper focuses on a number of concepts regarding the economic sphere, such as property and various types of labor. The style of presentation isalthough not deliberate drawn onnevertheless akin to that of Weber’s.
