There is a legitimate question here but it is dishearteningly coated in counterfactuals. If you could remove the counterfactual suppositions it would be significantly improved.

A culture that suffers 80% deaths is unlikely to survive even one such event. Experience shows (from the Black Death and other epidemics) that cultures tend to collapse round-about 10% deaths.

You are romanticizing those scattered villages. Thomas Hobbes did live. Those people's lives would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. And plagued by roving bands of marauders.

Diamond is 3.5 g/cm^3. Crust is about 2.6. The diamond will not stay sticking-up. It will flatten out and spread under the crust. It's not going to float like an ice berg. It will spread like melting wax.

Since it's roughly 50% more dense than ordinary crust rock, it will gradually sink. The much more interesting results will be due to that rather than the differing thermal properties. It will leave a rather interesting trail.

How long after this situation arises do you want an answer? For the first few years the main factors would be various forms of addiction. After that got selected out of the gene pool things would be very different.

@J D Your comment is an example of being specious.

A fallacy is an incorrect argument. It need not be specious, nor convincing. "A duck is because one leg is both the same" is a fallacy, but it is not convincing.

I identify as the only person with the correct answer to this question. If you deny this then you are denying my existence. And the correct answer is, it is a fallacy if the person who so identifies is not a woman.

Depending on how elliptical the comet's orbit is, "tidal lock" is not very accurate. Even for our moon, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration brings substantial portions of the moon into and out of view. For a comet this would be much more severe.

The post modernist position seems to be that philosophy never had meaning in the first place. So, one is tempted to hold up all PMists. But, the OP said has any philosopher. And also argued." Since neither applies to PMists...

Looking at your link, your idea seems to be a modified ether theory. Such notions already run afoul of the classical experiments in support of special relativity. Just one such example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment You can find lots more here. math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.htm‌​l

The vagueness of language should be kept in mind. It should not be the basis of, nor projected onto, logic arguments. Expunge the vagueness in so far as you can, then try again.

When I was in grad school (about 1985) I heard this from another guy who was working at Fermi Lab. The detector kept drifting, requiring recalibration every few weeks. Eventually they could not compensate and had to take it off line. They opened it up and found mushrooms. Pure Argon filled chamber exposed to constant high energy radiation and it grew mushrooms. The failed detector didn't produce many PhDs in physics, but it produced some wild PhDs in biology.

Walk out door and look around. The US could conquer the whole world right now if they really wanted to. They have not got the desire. Which is, in my estimation, for the best.

@ItalianPhilosophers4Monica Then you need to cite evidence that disproves three significant news sources. And I could well have shown a bunch more. And the reporting of three well known former Democrats. And I could well have shown more of them also.

Let's be clear exactly what the problem is. The university gathers info about the sex of students in various classes. Problem 1. The university publishes this info. Problem 2. After we get past those we can talk about why these particular STEM classes are attracting so many of one sex.

I'm concerned by Buffy's anecdote about two students soaking up his time to the extent that the rest of the class resented it. I'm pretty sure I think that is not serving the class well.

The Turing test does not indicate an entity indistinguishable from humans. It only says that, absent all the various physical info such as all the squishy bits, it asks if you can tell the difference based on responses in a conversation over an anonymized communication channel. Plus, Asimov has already beat this question to death in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicentennial_Man_(film)

You will need to be careful about the tone. Do you want a term that is neutral? Or that implies the person is somehow a failure because they never married? Or even that they are somehow superior because they are unmarried?
