L'éléphant

Trying it now. It's working.

This has also been fashionable to say here in the forum. I wonder why? For those who disagree with other views, their counter is that the contribution...

I'm already practicing for the coming of GW.

Did. Thanks. Nausea gone. I literally felt my trunk weighed heavily.

I had a meeting this morning that caused me a lot of trepidation and nerve wrecking. I took a couple of headache pills 40 mins before the meeting. 4 h...

Empty phrase that needs work.

How about the constructivist approach to ethics? In this system, we have multiple moral principles that get continuously evaluated based on events and...

And as I have already said, herein lies the problem. I feel like answering in nuggets: The end justifies the means -- we all know the horror that have...

:) You need to read up on how theories are presented. This is like going to a fight and bringing with you the wrong training.

Their conception of the "laws of nature" is connected with the divine laws (god given rights).

Sacrificing your own life to save others is a totally different moral position. Why? Because you are giving consent to your own involvement, even it i...

Maybe what you've been meaning to say is "refute" or "challenge" the dualist view.

The word "disprove" is incorrect to use here. Like I said, no one in dualism community had presented a proof. If you don't know the techniques on how ...

Thanks for that insightful post. I wanted to object to some of the points made, but I couldn't. It rings so true.

Disprove? Is there proof for dualism? You don't disprove something that never itself presented proof for its existence. I don't think any of the dual ...

Yes, of course, coherence is implied in a philosophical system a philosopher builds. Why don't you read Aristotle's substance and form so you could pi...

Not in the sense that one is creating a philosophical theory that can't be satisfied with science alone. Remember that a philosophical theory is tryin...

You have to go back to how power was created back then. The monarchy and aristocracy appealed to the natural law to assert their rights to throne/powe...

Your conflating science with philosophical theory. Aristotle's hylomorphs are an example of dualism -- matter and form. The theory accounted for the f...

Functionally yes. But while the dick does what it does, don't you think there's a greater more noble thing happening here? Who gets fucked in the vagi...

I remember @"I like sushi" mentioning the CRISPR. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. lol.

Not always good means that it doesn't work as one-size-fits-all solution to moral issues. Your complete agreement with "greatest number" could be reje...

:up: I hope your brother is living a healthy life now. That's great! Utilitarianism isn't always good because it stunts our moral judgment. The trolle...

In this case it does. The cause of the situation is the scarcity of the drug. I wouldn't save a criminal's life. I'd give it to who is more deserving....

Understood. You probably won't believe me if I say you can train your emotion to be "callous" but benevolent. But it would require you to detach yours...

Holy cow! They could create a thylacine using the dunnart through gene editing. Okay.

They're not put in the same prison for one thing. They're separated by gender/sex. Why is that? I don't think this way. Men and women can choose, and ...

I'm gonna assume this is your homework. Welcome to the forum. First, I would agree that number shouldn't be the overriding motivation to act or decide...

That's an eerie video. :scream:

Yes, it is a marsupial! :yikes: That's fucked. So similar in looks to dogs.

Last known footage of extinct dog. Sad. https://youtu.be/4Lk3rQQxudM

Yes, there is such a thing as too big to make democracy work. But, the ancients never thought that any system would last permanently. So democracy sho...

So this evidence of matriarchies being few and far between, doesn't that tell something about the gender differences? Maybe we could argue that if men...

Awesome OP!

You're still wrong.

This is an incorrect way of looking at it. We have freedom in thinking, but it doesn't mean everyone recognizes it. If someone can't mull over availab...

Wrong.

Why is this always the beginning of an argument for some people?"Males and females have more similarities than differences" -- so therefore, sex assig...

That's a confused post. Determinism is misplaced when talking about freedom in thinking. It's because determinism puts the issue on action, not thinki...

I don't think income inequality is the issue here. I'm talking about meeting more than basic needs and not slave away for crappy jobs. There will alwa...

I've always thought you were a goat. What I didn't know was you're a male also.

Yes, but you have to spend a really long time to milk cause they produce a very minute amount.

Okay, I meant poverty income -- those just above or below poverty level set forth by the government, depending on inflation and per capita income of a...

I edited it. The dollar sign was a mistake.

Yup! Not working tomorrow.

Jesus you're wrong! If in the land of 1,000 solipsists, one of them died, 1,000 didn't care. You can't even do math.

It's called optimization of meeting the needs of everybody. Yes, a few individuals might have to forgo buying the $100,000,000 yachts. But it's okay. ...

It doesn't have to be this way, though. There's enough wealth on earth to sustain all people without poverty and starvation.

Yeah. :up:

I agree. :chin:
