Proper form would look like this: If it's rational to feel compassion for people with mental illness, then it is rational to have compassion for Hitle...

It is rational. But, only on that basis. You seem to be forgetting something, so I'll turn the question around to see what you say: Is it rational to ...

My dear fellow, were you under the impression that this confirmation of mine ended our line of discussion on the topic?

No, I'm saying that if an assertion about a fact of the world cannot be placed under the scrutiny of falsification, meaning it can be tested in a mann...

Right, such is clear from the "how do we know what we know" discussion. Unfortunately it is something that simply cannot be argued with. Not in any fa...

Yes.

Yes. As all propositions that are both valid, and sound are tautological, so too is the this presentation to you. It is voluntary, because it's volunt...

I do.

Yes. If we're talking neurological disorders.

More contradictory than tautological. But, I've rarely seen anything more contradictory than the views that inform this kind of conclusion. It comes f...

Yeah, the natural inclination for systems in the universe to, by the properties of universal forces and materials, approach an equilibrated state, or ...

If such is real. But, I was particularly highlighting that the concept of "starvation-wages" and "compulsory work" are not a thing when one volunteers...

The words of a deeply entrenched consumer, who loves consuming market products for consumption.

Go on...

Got it, ok.

I don't. I regard it as a shame there's not a hell for that cock sucker to burn in forever. When I think of the small children naked and screaming, st...

Right, whereas we assert that compassion is a morally valenced idea that requires that assessment. Unskilled worker is simply a characteristic, like h...

Again, it depends on their behavior. How would you rank the people I described early? My in-law and my cousin? Let's just for argument's sake, accept ...

Here's her from an article in Playboy years ago: I regard compassion as proper only toward those who are innocent victims, but not toward those who ar...

Let me go see If I can't find something for you.

I don't have a direct quote off mind. I believe she mentioned as much in a ninterview on one of Donahue's episodes with her. But, it's kind of a recur...

That is correct.

Unbelievable. No, it can't. Because governments have existed for thousands of years without those results. It is specifically laws that protect freedo...

Compulsory labor requires that others force you to work. If you being required to work in accordance with your nature, and the nature of the world dem...

Sure, of course. Had the criticism of Kant been directed at that, and not his math, I would have argued in response from his position. However, the on...

If it helps your feelsies, I regard Kant as a great scientist of his time, and to suggest otherwise would be absolute fucking nonsense. But, his philo...

Being rich isn't genocide, genius. Snap out of it. Most of them gained power through democratic channels. No, I ascribe it to state-socialism, which i...

From the perspective of the person offering labor through job creation? 100%. Those conditions are natural to man. Production is a rational pursuit, o...

That's a fine point. But, as I said, this particular topic, being mathematics not philosophy, isn't really my area. I'm reporting what is in the histo...

There's nothing immoral about exorbitant profits. Wages aren't exploitation if labor is voluntary. All of that is garbage. Barrowed ideas from a plagi...

Not an argument, just a tantrum. Did I offend your feelings for daddy Kant?

I already gave the statistics that you mischaracterized to evade this point, I'm not going over it again. Yes, I was simply talking about markets, eve...

Wealth generation, correction there - it doesn't just get accumulated, it has to be generated- cannot be motivated by immoral desires, unless an organ...

This is so disrespectful it's not even to be reckoned with. Millions of bodies on the state-socialist roster in the past century alone and you can dar...

"Redistribution" is a fake term that only means robbery backed by lethal force. Nothing else. It isn't a moral response to anything. Morality does not...

You'll need to read the rest of my statement to figure that out. But, apart from that, a laissez-faire system does not necessarily imply an absence of...

Exorbitant greed isn't something that falls within laissez-faire. It's a human characteristic. But such a characteristic is present in all societies. ...

Or, we'd never be able to get them to sit, duh.

What is the question here? Elaborate on who it is you are representing in each of these descriptors.

It doesn't apply to me.

It's literally the single rarest value on the planet.

I don't know what this question is asking or why. It doesn't apply to me.

If a governments which murder people every day steal money from laborers to fund programs, that's not benevolent. I didn't pull anything out of the ai...

Not that Kantian Mathematics is my particular strong point, my focus is ethics, but the fact that falsifiablity can't be applied to the subject is kin...

What are we defining as immoral?

A nice opinion, but fair enough. Keep it as you wish. This is specifically the perspective of the Randian. Objectivist ethics is predicated on individ...

Against the original syllogism, yes. Nothing else so far.

The only places I know of in history, are Epicurean communes. Where property was respected, productivity was a value/virtue, and inabilities were fost...
