Hey, don't kill the messenger. But if I had to respond...I'd say rollercoasters.

:up:

Time is an illusion, or an imaginative aspect, not real, per say.

also if you ever go to Dijon, you could go visit this place. It has a little memorial that says Cyrano de Bergerac was filmed there I think.

Little a bit of context: it's a scene from Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu, filmed in Dijon (well not the entire film just this scene was), w...

https://p7.storage.canalblog.com/71/43/249592/10242578.jpg oh snap it worked.

I guess in a practical standard, the question becomes a little different. I think for the state violence becomes efficient, which in a casual sense re...

I'm seeing some parallels between art and arcitechture. Or maybe language, architecture can be used sometimes to describe something, to say something,...

Ew...Try this one on for size: Oh wait I can't upload photos. Too bad, you would've been amazed.

Perhaps. I would say that physical suffering and psychological suffering tend to become linked, should it reach its extremity, one way or another.

Well I don't know if basking in a bucket of boiling oil and saying "hm, yes, I am indeed in pain" is a necessary step in wisdom, but i'll try it out. ...

Ah, I see. Huh, that's pretty clever.

That's interesting. Care to elaborate?

True. :yikes:

Could you elaborate on that?

Then how did you come up with the contradiction?

Beautiful illustration. That's the thing maybe. I've always been pretty alone in my subsequent thoughts, so maybe they aren't as logical as they seem.

Oh, smart.

Ah, maybe so. What do you mean by heat removed?

:up:

Oops. I'll warrant that I'm not exactly uh, current with the ethical systems we use, but I definitely could've done some research.

Don't worry, I will :naughty: (just kidding.) Sure if the woman was hitting his man out of pleasure, that could be determined as violence. However, wh...

Well for one the wife didn't force the man through physical force. Nor did she have knowledge that the man's will was being violated. He was violated ...

However this denotes violence to be act in accordance to one's own desires through physical force. Therefore if you name that previous example as viol...

Hm, I see what you mean. In that event though, I still think we can relate/work with the author in a sense where it's like a cooperative effort, to fi...

Depends. With the leghorn piece, had we had read it with the original intent in mind, it would've certainly warped our first impressions. In that case...

Could I not be considered as the third person? e.g My wife wants me to engage in some kinky stuff, but deep down in my heart I find it disgusting.

:yikes:

Does wisdom work? I keep trying to conform myself to an intelligent/rational way of life, but it doesn't seem to be working... It's only resulted in a...

This seems contradictory; So in essence I must conform to the wills of others, even if my own desire is at risk?

So as long as I engage in physical force on the behalf of another's pleasure, or in accordance to someone else's desire, it would not be considered as...

Isn't that just calculus?

The question was should you exercise minimal force even if your life is at risk, but I came to the conclusion earlier that yeah you probably should.

The More You Know.

Really?! Wow, I didn't know that. Dang.

Wouldn't it just apply to robots who haven't passed the Turing exam?

Then...In my belief I don't think Asimovs' rules fail. They just apply to who their applicable too.

Then perhaps we could say: for those robots who have passed the Turing exam, they are now exempt from Asimov's laws of robotics? As in, reserve the ru...

In the event that violence is pleasurable, physically, would it remain categorically unethical?

I would say that's fine. Warranted maybe, but should you reciprocate?

By counter, do you mean reciprocate? The principle of justice is to act morally, ethically, to be righteous to an extent. I'm not sure if reciprocatin...

If a robot isn't distinguishable from a human, would it still be subjected to Asimov's three laws of robotics?

I don't deny that life is not meant to be kept, but am a little skeptical on how the love of ones life impedes or incapacitate one's spiritual integri...

Should I not celebrate my self preservation? Or is the will to live a desire?

Yeah, I know. In retrospect, I was just searching for something to argue about.

But then it'd be too easy! :joke: No, I see what you're saying. Perhaps in the question of ethical reform, or societal reform, are acts of injury perm...

I suppose then it wouldn't necessarily be violence, but a physical act of control. However, violence is often brutal. Sometimes justifiable, yet not n...

How could we complete/reform the question? I see no harm in that.

Well it certainly is understandable. What a picturesque scenario. Almost romantic, in a weird way.

Minimize suffering? Someone's dead!
