That is correct, if he shares the opinion of the author that inspired the post. If you go back a page, I think, I present, once more mind you, a serie...

I'll give you a hint: they're the same thing.
February 03, 2022 at 14:22
The single most under-represented and abused demographic in history, who deserve political power to wield over the ignorant huddled masses, if only fo...

Right? I mean, as long as competence IS a factor and is properly vetted for, then there's simply no problem. The only issue here is the stated objecti...

How's that? At what point did you determine there was racism within the Supreme Court solely on the basis that the men on the Court, who aren't Claren...

That's something neither her age, nor her color would be able to disclose to anyone.
February 03, 2022 at 13:57
One certainly asserts such a thing (you), yet provides no evience for such an acusation. You provided no evidence of this acusation, because there is ...

This is how children deal with arguments. I'll recapitulated my contention with the Arendt's position: Claim: "“…it becomes as impossible to conceive ...
February 03, 2022 at 06:06
That'd be good for you.
February 03, 2022 at 04:28
Even funnier bit is, the above sentence is, still yet, another example of you avoiding my arguments. And there is much to understand. Even funnier yet...

Any racially motivated action is by definition racist. Choosing positions of competance requires competance in that respective domain to be the primar...

That's a cute way of phrasing "See Garrett making arguments that none of us could contend with, so we just decided to insult him." But, I'm still open...

Quantum Mechanics tells us nothing of the nature of macroscopic material interactions, let alone ones that govern a biological entity with complex thi...

Smartest thing I've seen on this thread so far.
February 02, 2022 at 23:39
I could, if that were necessary. My critique is not of the geneological method, but of the method being used to conclude something entirely contrary t...
February 02, 2022 at 23:37
Well, no I've already done that. The numerous, thoroughly argued positions I presented above haven't been addressed. I confess, that it's growing appa...
February 02, 2022 at 23:04
Apology accepted. Now can we address my arguments?
February 02, 2022 at 21:56
Even better, the individual experiences his/her own tangible realities independent of force that would threaten it. If a human is left to their own de...
February 02, 2022 at 21:39
These statements are logically equivalent. They mean the exact same thing. Human action free of coercion is the free capacity for choice and autonomy ...

Has nothing to do with gun laws, guns are inanimate. Gun wielders kill people, and specifically gun wielders with the premeditated idea of either kill...
February 02, 2022 at 20:43
There's nothing wrong with that approach, she was wrong both in her approach, as it was fallacious, as was her conlcuision, which I provided, as of ye...
February 02, 2022 at 20:29
This is simply a statment of non-truth. Nothing else to it. It would not take you more than two google searches to realize that the predominantly held...
February 02, 2022 at 19:21
Um... No, you've got this completely backwards. To change the working definition of a word in english, which is an adaptive langauge where word defini...
February 02, 2022 at 16:51
That kind of does the trick. It's a bit like reading Lenin; sure, it's interesting, but was it worth the bodies? Many more interesting philosophers th...
February 02, 2022 at 16:27
Yes, I do, in fact. It's called the working definition: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint/absence...
February 02, 2022 at 16:26
So, no I'm not confused at all, however I do appreciate the post. Thanks for stopping by. Let's tackle this: I am not remarking on their ontological n...
February 02, 2022 at 16:15
How is this so? Freedom is dependent only on the non-advance of univited interaction between peoples. Meaning, respected sovereignty between people is...
February 02, 2022 at 14:57
Yeah, but I, on the other hand, have not only supplied multiple definitions, but the ones that are THE current working definitions and not a single pe...
February 02, 2022 at 14:25
No, you simply have a stronger desire to stay on the couch than to go to the store to get chips. This is really quite simple.
February 02, 2022 at 14:23
Be a bit more specific about metrics and I'll try to assess what you're talking about. As far as pverty, yes they've done much better of the course of...
February 02, 2022 at 13:59
No, you weren't in thrall, you were desiring, and thus purchased based on that desire. Ultimately unwanted is different from desiring enough in the mo...
February 02, 2022 at 03:26
But, it doesn't escape definition and description: the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action/ control deliberately exerted to do s...
February 02, 2022 at 03:20
Well, there are birth restrictions, and active on-going genocide, forced poverty, ideological suppression, just to name a couple things that should se...
February 02, 2022 at 03:02
No prob, homie. I don't have conversations with people they don't want to have. Even If I'd love to know where I disconnected. :cool:
February 02, 2022 at 02:03
It seemed like you were saying that the idea of skepticism and caution being misread as not caring was something that you were just now reflecting on....
February 02, 2022 at 01:59
This basic idea is garbage. Freedom is meaningful beyond that of active negation. I enjoy and value my freedom by simply interacting on this thread, p...
February 02, 2022 at 01:54
That would be great if you did. The idea that I am not caring if I discriminate in my considerations on whether I will provide aid to someone is bizar...
February 02, 2022 at 01:42
Didn't say you did have use for it. Use is only one dimension along which your desire protocals assess objects, or actions of desire. I said you had a...
February 02, 2022 at 01:35
No, there is no tention, because as it turns out, the integration of data, ideas, truth, experience, and trauma all change the patterns associated wit...
February 02, 2022 at 01:31
Such a proposition is a self-contradiction. If one desires not to do something, they simply will not do it unless forced. In the case of choosing to d...
February 02, 2022 at 01:18
Anything you, being an organic and natural creature, produce as a desire is itself organic and natural. To argue against such a claim is to assert the...
February 02, 2022 at 01:11
I addressed this, yes I AM free because I AM the source of said reason. I AM also the source of MY will. I AM the sum total of ALL things ME, just as ...
February 02, 2022 at 00:32
Of course there is, I brought it up numerous times. There is nothing fallacious or inconsistent in defining freedom as the ability to act, think, or s...
February 01, 2022 at 23:01
It’s not something that has to do with distinguishing will from something that opposes it. It is part and parcel with will. That is an aspect of how h...
February 01, 2022 at 22:57
It’s like you did something impossible and read the very words from my mind.
February 01, 2022 at 22:51
Primarily from fear. When people don't have answers to complex questions, they first run to mommy and daddy for aid. And as far as taxation is concern...
February 01, 2022 at 21:54
I actually went ahead and read it, my arguments are relavent to the descriptions of "freedom" provided in the article, such access to healthcare (some...
February 01, 2022 at 21:48
Man, I couldn't agree more.
February 01, 2022 at 21:28
I'll be a bit more clear and let's see if we can get an argument from you. I'm arguing that this: “…it becomes as impossible to conceive of freedom or...
