No, history would suggest the very opposite, in spite of the fact that we haven't worked everything out. Whatever problems you raise, I can match with...
Okay. And there's a plausible way and an implausible way to interpret scientific evidence. It's implausible to interpret all of the scientific evidenc...
That's definitely an example of political correctness stepping in. I have no doubt in my mind about that. And I don't need a Wikipedia article to educ...
So "political correctness" can be misused for a dubious agenda. Big deal. So can lots of things. What about the problems with political correctness it...
I request a feature to stop people from ignoring you. And no, I'm not going to stop being a gadfly. The horses should learn to appreciate my sting. It...
It would surprise me, in a sense, because I don't really venture into philosophy of mathematics or contemporary philosophy. But from what I know, and ...
I don't doubt that they'd disagree, but they don't have good sense on their side. What is a burger? It is as I described it. It is a bread bun with a ...
Now we wait for the inevitable switcheroo, even though it won't work because ethics and maths are two fundamentally different things. I'm always one s...
Good luck trying to get through to him. I really mean that. I want him to understand. But we have reached the point of him getting stuck on reoccurrin...
The reason I said that the categorical imperative is a joke earlier on in the discussion is because it is merely a conditional about universalism. "Ye...
Predictably, you do not pick up on or address the error. You just ignore it, because it is me that is pointing it out, and you seem to think that anyt...
Well, yes, to be clear, I certainly didn't mean qualia just because I used the word "like". I don't mean what it looks like, or tastes like, and so on...
By the way, anyone merely making the point that some moral statements are true should recognise that this point will be completely irrelevant to most ...
No, you are projecting. But take a break, and when you're capable of being reasonable enough to overcome your psychological issues, I suggest you slow...
Because that is what you said. Word for word. Sweet Mary mother of Jesus, does your denialism know no bounds? Understandably so. They are no more the ...
If two people are having a debate about whether horses have wings, and the first person says "Horses have wings", and the second person says, "But hor...
I identify a logical error in something you've said, I show you the error and explain why it is an error, you deny the error or demand I do the same t...
Here's the problem: I am not your tutor in logic. If I am, I demand that you pay me for my time and effort. Especially since you are a pupil who deman...
My priority has for some time now been getting you to be honest in this debate. If you made a fuck up, be honest and own up to it. Just say, "You're r...
I think I speak for both myself and Terrapin when I say that we object to your lack of explicit acknowledgement that you made a point which lacks logi...
You are extremely predictable. Do you know that? You have chosen to respond with denialism and evasion. Who would've guessed? Well, at least you have ...
Yep, freedom of speech clearly does not mean freedom of consequence, whether that is being slapped, arrested, banned, etc. I don't even think that tha...
Okay, I think I'm pretty good at strategic game playing, so let's try this. I will answer your request, even though my request has priority, but then ...
You are crazy if you think that I'm dodging instead of just holding you to my request which has priority over your request. You haven't explained why ...
Because my request has priority. It relates to something that you said which precedes what it is that I said in reply to you about a tangent. You need...
My request stems back to something you said on page 20, which you still haven't properly dealt with. You are referring to something different, and whi...
No, that's your denial kicking in again. This comment of yours was from page 20: I'm still awaiting a concession or a proper explanation from you. And...
Only after we've sorted out your point that I was originally addressing. I want either a concession from you or proper non-evasive reply. You need to ...
It isn't "just" a preference. It isn't "mere" preference. That's back to square one again! Obviously an emotivist like Terrapin already accepts that b...
Yes, I know that you want to wriggle out of my criticism instead of conceding, so you're trying to manipulate me into talking about something else. Re...
See? There it is again. Denial. No, of course you don't see it. That's the problem. But it is quite amusing from an outside perspective who clocks on ...
Don't worry. I know how your psych works better than you do. You are predictable. What would happen is that I'd explain that your comment suggested a ...
Well, obviously not God. It's no more God than the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Russell's Teapot. The commonality in our moral feelings are just a resu...
I don't care if you want to wiggle out of my criticism and talk about something else. This is what I am calling you out for: "It just turns all such j...
So you genuinely believe that my feelings about cheese and onion crisps are just like my feelings about raping babies, in every sense, respect, and de...
He's in denial. I'm surprised his other coping mechanism hasn't kicked in yet. You can tell when it has, because he'll close down and go, "Okay, have ...
Your point that I addressed was your false equivalence. But you seem to be in denial that I even addressed your point. What don't you understand about...
It seems that way to me too. It's probably because there isn't any. That's why some have resorted to dogmatism, and others try and fail to be logical ...
I addressed the point. I identified the logical error, namely a false equivalence, and I just added the obligatory satirising of it, but I think that ...
Sweet Jesus. No one here is crazy enough to equate the two, so you have a fundamental misunderstanding. Big surprise. I prefer cheese and onion flavou...
No, you are quite literally back at square one. You do realise that the following was quoted in the opening post: "Morality isn't anything other than ...
It isn't, and thinking otherwise is a common misperception. One of many that we've seen in this discussion. I try to stamp them out, but sometimes it ...
