I would say that is probably influenced by a dualistic approach at seeing oneself and one's own actions. The pre-frontal cortex alloe, in conjunction ...
China is much, much worse. But, I don't stand to defend states and never will. No, it is specifically this concession that allows for the existence of...
It constitutes an act of sovereignty over one's own self and the exercise of the sole right to the action therein contained. Human action is sovereign...
No, that's not the case because even those impulses are self-generated, either by one's nature, or one's considerations. One cannot be a slave to them...
On the ground, anywhere I choose, and because I'm the one doing it. Again, acting in voluntary co-operation with other people is still an exercise in ...
My bad it must have auto corrected, here's what I meant to write: Freedom is individual human action, as is demanded by your nature, independent of in...
I think it is. I'm not separating percieved aspects of will. I'm say free will doesn't exist, we know this because 99% of our cognition is subconsciou...
Freedom is individual human action, as is demanded by your nation, independent of interpersonal coercion. I know what freedom is because one, words ha...
This doesn't address anything, it merely takes the concept of freedom and describes it as slavery. The ability of the individual, who may be a slave t...
That's as ridiculous as saying, "the government respects your right to life, as if your life was handed down by God." No, property rights are the natu...
No, the law recognizes that my property rights are not to be violated, as there are no rights without property rights. It doesn't grant me them, it re...
Great topic, Shawn. First let's define terms. Content: in a state of peaceful happiness, a state of satisfaction. Now that we have a clear working und...
So, no, the concept of rights begins as a conceptual method by which to assess your ethical relationship with other individuals. Meaning, ethics isn't...
No, it's my will. Freedom isn't defined by the separation of mind and body, but body from body. My inner compulsions are irrelevant to freedom. Freedo...
Yes, a good way of looking at is that, just because there is the possiblity of my sovererignty being violated, doesn't mean I don't have sovereignty. ...
Secirty guards aren't law, and neither is the protection that I offer my property, which has been sufficient for 30 years. None of the above statement...
Well, no, if the activity of a polity that has a monopoly on violenece is to use that violence to violate freedoms, that actually says nothing of an i...
You're certainly sharing a wonderful display of neuroticism and self-contradiction. You are here sharing, sweetheart, because you have the right. You ...
I do, the concept doesn't require the law to enforce it. That's not an argument. Possessions and services paid for are property. Anything that belongs...
If there are no rights, then you have no business telling us what your opinion is on ethical topic, you've no right to share. Where as there are no ri...
You're projecting. You've done nothing short of angrily parrot assertions that were easily refutable that you probably picked up from Richard Wolff or...
Those people objectively accrue and protect their own property. Your incessant appeals to law make no difference to the processes which do not require...
Every single element of cognitive function contained in this message is a an elemental function of ethical assessment. Don't pidgeon-hole yourself int...
I actually promote this idea. I however, simply do not jettison the concept of rights, as it has a place on the ethical table, it's part of the of equ...
Although you are correct, in the exact same way you'd be correct by saying numbers don't exist, this isn't the proper way of looking at rights. As bot...
It's like you've never heard of the strawman fallacy. Mind you, that shit doesn't work on me. Feeding one's children is their duty, they created that ...
This is objectively false and I have provided you a small article on it. Private property is not a gift from the state, it is a demand from the people...
No, it would be entirely dependent on the nature of the cause of such pecuniary straits. And I would never help someone on the side of the road as if ...
It depends on whether or not the actions of a specific agent in a given scenario will produce effects for those beyond the agent. At a base level, uti...
Fundamentally, yes, I would say. However, I have very stron utilitarian bias. Most people don't realize that utilitarianism is fully coherent ethical ...
There is no evidence to suggest that post-expiration existence is a thing. From a philosophical perspective, that's pretty much all that matters as fa...
Oh, I see. Yes, I would agree. At the end of the day, any ethical framework is going to be the responsibility of the individual to employ. Generally s...
No, I'm not. I'm saying there is a difference between greedy people, which everyone hates, and that of the rationally self-interested, those who come ...
No, its one of the most sophisticated epistemologies there is. It furthers ethics, provides it more clarity. Again, I defer you to the multifarious et...
I don't know what you think you're reading. I said nothing about condoning bad behavior. Nor have I said anything about identity. I'm saying that when...
That is correct. Different things need to be differently emphasized. The material interests of some ARE legitimate as compared to others. Just as the ...
Yes, stated beautifully. So, for this dilemma I draw your attention back to me saying that Utilitarianism as a base ethical methodology is great, but ...
I don't know what this means. You mean to say it is hard to evaluate outcomes? Yeah, like I said, it's a really good metric that is, as far as I can t...
No, private property is almost exclusively protected by individual owners, via priavet security, electronic security systems, on hand weapons and defe...
The problem here is, because taxation is forced. and the entity that governs that collection has the monopoly on violence, there isn't a single amount...
So, I'll address this, but I'll keep it quick and you can tell me what you think. As far as a base level ethical framework, Utilitarianism, I hold, sh...
Now that's an excelent question. One might look at post-revolutionary France and the advent of Bonaparte displacing the aristocracy, however that tran...
I would have to say yes, as it happens there's never been a Just City, yet each one the stages listed above have all existed numerous times throughout...
