	Indifference curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An indifference curve is a graph showing combinations of goods for which a consumer is indifferent, that is, it has no preference for one combination versus another, as they render the same level of satisfaction (or the same amount of utility) for the consumer.
		The theory of indifference curves was developed by Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, Vilfredo Pareto and others in the first part of the 20th century.
		The idea of an indifference curve is a straightforward one: If a consumer was equally satisfied with 1 apple and 4 bananas, 2 apples and 2 bananas, or 5 apples and 1 banana, these combinations would all lie on the same indifference curve.

	Principle of indifference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The principle of indifference states that if the n possibilities are indistinguishable except for their names, then each possibility is assigned a probability equal to 1/n.
		The principle of indifference is meaningless under the frequency interpretation of probability, in which probabilities are relative frequencies rather than degrees of belief in uncertain propositions, conditional upon a state of information.
		The theory of chance consists in reducing all the events of the same kind to a certain number of cases equally possible, that is to say, to such as we may be equally undecided about in regard to their existence, and in determining the number of cases favorable to the event whose probability is sought.

	Indifference Curve Analysis [Virtual Learning Arcade] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		An indifference curve is a line that shows all the possible combinations of two goods between which a person is indifferent.
		The general rule is that indifference curves further too the right (I4 and I5) show combinations of the two goods that yield a higher utility, while curves to the left (I2 and I1) show combinations that yield lower levels of utility.
		Indifference analysis can be used to analyse how a consumer would change the combination of two goods for a given change in their income or the price of the good.

	CowPi: Indifference
		Indifference is an enemy of love and is a great source of danger in this world, but I disagree on the point that it is the opposite of love.
		Indifference is the fence that divides the two extremes of the love/hate continuum.
		Indifference to love or hate is sitting on the fence between the two, refusing to engage either one of them.

	The Indifference Vote
		Thus indifference voting does not allow the winners to plunder the losers, or the losers the winners; no one is cheated out of what is rightfully his, and at the end of the day everyone is (or ought to be) happy.
		Indifference voting is like an auction in which two syndicates vie for the prize.
		Fortunately, an indifference vote will still produce the economically efficient answer, even if the initial baseline is inaccurate, so long as the participants are confident that an honest attempt has been made, and that subsequent votes and transfers will fully respect the rights so defined.

	Elie Wiesel Speech The Perils of Indifference
		Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbor are of no consequence.
		And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.
		The political prisoner in his cell, the hungry children, the homeless refugees -- not to respond to their plight, not to relieve their solitude by offering them a spark of hope is to exile them from human memory.

	I cite: Cruel Indifference
		The expression 'cruel indifference' seems to capture an intuition involving cruelty, namely, that the cruel are unaffected by, indifferent to the suffering of another.
		Indifference is a kind of shield, precisely that protection from vulnerability cruelty seeks.
		Intuitively, I feel that the connection between indifference and cruelty is that "indifference" is the indifference to an objectively less cruel option, justified by an appeal to necessity based in the social.

	blogHOUSTON - Alvarado's one-day graduation-status change interests opponent, media
		Of all the pressing problems that Houston City Council candidates might be discussing and debating, one wouldn't have thought that Councilmember Alvarado's strange indifference to actually obtaining her college degree would still be news this week.
		It has surely happened before, but it's just odd that Alvarado was so indifferent towards actually making sure she had fulfilled the requirements of graduation.
		Furthermore, her indifference towards actually obtaining her degree is odd to me. Still, this doesn't seem to merit the amount of media coverage it's getting, especially when there are interesting races for other Council positions.

	INDIFFERENCE by FRANK WU
		INDIFFERENCE by FRANK WU When we walk by a homeless person, ignoring him, we lose a little bit of our own humanity.
		In addition to Indifference, I commissioned Christina Sng to write poems for The Sad Girl, Resurrection Man, and Keep the Universe Beautiful.
		I have found your artwork on the web and I was especially inspired by your piece called "Indifference." Homelessness is a serious problem that people tend tend to think that because there may not be a solution it is just easier to overlook it.

	Indifference Curves and Risk Aversion
		All portfolios that lie on the same indifference curve are equally desirable to the investor (even though they have different expected returns and variance.) An obvious implication is that indifference curves do not intersect.
		An investor will find any portfolio that is lying on an indifference curve that is "further northwest" to be more desirable than any portfolio lying on an indifference curve that is "not as far northwest."
		These two assumptions of nonsatiation and risk aversion cause indifference curves to be positively sloped and convex.

	Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz -- Metaphysics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		For speaking absolutely, our will is in a state of indifference, in so far as indifference is opposed to necessity, and it has the power to do otherwise, or to suspend its action altogether, both alternatives being and remaining possible.
		By "indifference," Leibniz means a physical indifference--that is to say, there is no universal-physical truth, as defined above, which governs human action.
		For Leibniz, this means that human action is further freed: the will has the power to suspend its action with respect to the physical sequence of efficient causes, but also even with respect to what would otherwise be seen as a decisive final cause.

	"Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
		The steadily increasing percentage of young adults who report being shy (from the earlier 40% to the current nearly 50% level) may be analyzed as negative acculturation to a confluence of social forces operating in the United States.
		We maintain that this rise in shyness is accompanied by spreading social isolation within a cultural context of indifference to others and a lowered priority given to being sociable, or in learning the complex network of skills necessary to be socially competent.
		A number of interacting social, technological, and economic processes are operating to reduce daily, ordinary, "real time" face-to-face interactions with other people.
