I suggest you give a small, supported argument to back up your assertion, because the metaphysics taking place on your thread are in no way contradict...
No, it hsn't so far. Again, you're going to have to contend with the scientific research before you get to make that kind of claim, which you haven't ...
Dude. You actually read it. Thanks man. Let me take some time to analyze your assessment and I'll respond to it in detail. I just got back after 2 day...
Yes, especially if it is done on the individual giver's terms. I myself never give, nor ask for largesse that is not well supported in the reason cate...
So, it would have to be brains that produce consciousness, as there are no structures of consciousness that can be tested for brain production, but th...
No, I want to exapnd the idea that, since the human brain is the source of all ethical framework, that no ethical framework can be used to justify a v...
Yes, I mean, this all sounds like interesting stuff. I had a buddy who was really into sacred geometry, and not in the woo kind of way either. Smartes...
That's the thing, man. I am a philosophy major. Introductory courses are incredibly science focused. Not to mention philosophy of science is a field t...
My accolades to you sir, thank you. What most don't understand here, is that understanding this one fact about humans opens many, many doors philosoph...
Yes, this is all 100% in line with Objectivism. However, I will add that children cannot independently conceptualize ethical material, and it isn't cl...
What...? I have. I have quoted these, all of them, numerous times. I have relayed info to all of you about them. I'm going to point this stuff out for...
Aye, comrade. That's exactly what I would say. Even if I can be insulting, that doesn't mean I can't respect what makes you human, and love that human...
Our sense of good and evil, is the source of both. And yes, concept generation is by its nature, a behavior refining tool evolutionarily evolved to he...
Right, exactly. The justification comes from a philosophical analysis that I'd love to finally address with you, now that we're on the same page here ...
No, man. Have you read none of the studies I've posted? There's no evidence of this kind of assumption, and all the evidence that does exist suggest m...
Think real hard about this argument, and get back to me. The human being is a self-contained organism that possesses self-contained consciousness. I d...
Yes, this is a position I'm willing to contend with, but I'm going to need to see some research that supports it to do so. I accept your position, now...
Yep, that's exactly my point. And it is the brain doing so, as far the evidence is concerned. You have something that suggest otherwise, present it. I...
About time I had some support. Some of this conversation has been nothing but insults. Luckily I handle that the same way it is given. But, glad to se...
You'll need some support for this claim, as the entirety of modern neuroscientific data is in opposition to this assertion. Support your claim with ev...
Complete bullshit, and I won't have it. They cited their sources thoroughly. Not a cool approach. If you're going to claim a peer-reviewed paper is un...
This isn't something that took place. Which negates every pathetic, and childish attempt to insult me you produced, rather than contend with the argum...
I'd say the facts are generally correct, but the conclusion is wrong. There's no reason why someone would conclude that a progressive diminution of au...
If one actually values the person, then no, it is selfish. However, Rand would have you consider the rational reasons behind why you value them more t...
Right, this kind potential-benefit analysis is never absent from an ethical deliberation, and is the basic standard for your ethics. Well, I'm not tal...
People who constitute a value to you being pleased with something you've done is a value to you, a benefit, or you simply would not do such a thing. G...
Oh, well dude. They haven't figured that out yet. That's been clear. I never made that argument, and neither have they. Nor, have I meant to imply it....
I don't think we're talking about the same thing here. I don't understand what any of this has to do with what we were talking about. The no doubt par...
This is still something that doesn't makes. Moral culpability comes from the fact that we can conceptualize the nature of our actions, inhibit or init...
That actually may be so. I can second this. However, that does not negate the falsifiable science that has been done, which has revealed the important...
