Let me throw out a couple of cautions in response to the above, not that I fully understand logging. First I'll start off with a specific. I find most...

Psychosis can be temporary. Some people move in and out of psychosis their whole lives. Some people got there once. Schizophrenics actually do better ...

And people who consider the USA is a democracy are not generally considerd deluded.

It is a bit, but not why this leads to awareness. It seems to me this doesn't need consciousness. And it's not consciousness - or? - that drives the g...

That's fine.

OK, so why is ok to have an arbritrary law about sound levels? but not one around threats? (covered in my long post)

lol not what I was getting at. But touche in the context you experienced, which was not the one I intended.

Ok, it had seemed earlier like abritrary functioned as a critique in itself in your responses to me.

Sure as a pejorative. If it was merely an observation out of context and not critical. Sure, they are, as I said, longer than your posts. I don't thin...

But different decibels and durations and upbrinings and cultural backgrounds and expectations will lead to not being able to stay asleep with noise. I...

Long seems like a subjective evaluation to me. They are certainly much longer than yours, but I think adequate to the task. And in that length I expla...

se I'm a Heraclitian flux you cannot make a contract since it will not be me after signing it absolutist. I want to end all contract law. How can I bi...

nRight, so I would want people to work on dealing with the specific cases, just as we do in contract law and even with physical violence. What kind of...

Well, I think we'd need to get into Terrapin's morality, which I think he once said to me was neither consequentialist nor deontological, and he has u...

Then I must, unfortunately, ask for a definition of logging. Apologies in advance.

Couldn't we say that a computer, with security camera feed, does this, perhaps, shuttling anomolous movements, recorded ones that is, to special files...

I think the issue is partly coming down to a damning of the limbic system or emotions. IOW if it is possible to change the way you relate to emotions ...

That people can censor in private regions. If you have enough money you can fence in (literally or metaphorically) a portion of reality and shut down ...

I'm still missing the concern about corporate and private censorship and what measures will be taken to eliminate the legislative support for this.

Sensory and verbal stimuli and physical contact stimuli have different effects on different people. The receivers personalities and measures taken aff...

I see free speech going down as corporations consolidate power. This doesn't seem to concern free speech advocates nearly as much as any potential hat...

No, I am arguing that threats of violence are such an effective stimuli that they need only be delivered once to have endocrine reactions in large num...

Right now censorship is protected by legislation. Despite some whisteblowing laws that often don't protect people, companies can punish people for spe...

Let's not shift to what my solution might be, let's stay here and see why some stimuli are protected and others not, that is your position. Perhaps my...

Nope. go on. It's the way my organism reacts to single stimulus of a certain kind. Should I change my personality to suit my neighbor`? Why can't the ...

So they get to censor people. But we know you judge them for it. So we have a society where some people get to censor but not others.

Sure, but it seems like when free speech comes up and the strong advocates advocate for it they think in terms of legislation. Let's not have any legi...

A stimulus led to my not sleeping. This should also be considered in the context of the post before the one about loss of sleep, where I asked why ver...

But she doesn't have a right to free speech in a capitalist society or most societies other than the one TS is hoping one day will arrive. If she tell...

I'm still not sleeping.

A big guy moves in across the hall. He tells me he is going to grab my kid one day and rape him. I won't sleep well.

So, what does my wife do in the meantime? Would it be wrong for her to censor or punish him, given that she lives in a capitalist country?Why should n...

I think a slap in the face, off the top of my head, would be a reaction I would not judge as morally wrong or impractical. I'd probably yell back shit...

If they were genetic scientists who made me from scratch and claimed to be all knowing and all powerful sure.

And here we see a process unfolding over some period of time. Other models, such as the one I think implicit in the Hitchen's razor, are very precipit...

ok

Well, it is fundamentally anti-investigatory and hasty. Now or never, and it takes oneself out of the equation also. I encounter idea X. Person who ha...

One certainly can, and many do, but there's no reason to have it as a habit. One might even find, even after a few seconds, but perhaps much later, th...

I can imagine scenarios where the scientists and the companies that hired them are quite pleased (or the government that assembled the team) but where...

On the other hand the two issues do need to be separated. Let's say God does exist but is not a loving deity, by any standards. Then there is the opti...

No, and this last post made it clearer to me what you meant. No, it making sense need not be evidence. I would urge caution, at this very abstract lev...

If the method through which they try to limit free speech is to speak about their ideas about the problems with totally free speech and hate speech an...

This will move us away from hate speech/free speech, but it is in the background of my thoughts while following this. Sexual harrassment in companies....

That's you. Others treat speech as having only the effects of gibberish. Presumably of a similar volume and pitch. IOW speaking to someone does not ca...

cfor themselves, I assume you mean. Sure. But T Clark doesn't know what Khaled needs for justification. Khaled asked him for the source of the theorie...

Which wouldn't be problems then. One can't really complain about people who try to limit free speech if one thinks speech cannot have negative effects...

I've mainly followed the Terrapin stuff, though not at all completely. I mainly noticed posts near mine in my dialogue with Terrapin and then more rec...
