ok, so who says the Electron quantum field doesn't know anything about time?

Chairs aren't a unit of operational physics. If you want to talk about how physics moves forward in time, you're going to have to talk about things mu...

interesting, very unconventional word choice. I don't think physicalists think chairs know about time.

sorry if you've already answered this before, but "a physical"? What is that?

so as long as someone doesn't leave any evidence that they knew it wasn't true, they can say "I thought it was true" and get away with it. Interesting...

Yes, I do, which is why i'm curious how you're going to tell the difference if you decide to make lying illegal. How are you going to tell the differe...

Don't I what?

So there is, or is not, a difference between just being incorrect and lying? Is answering wrong on a test or quiz a lie? And even setting that aside, ...

How do you distinguish between lies and mistakes?

I agree with that.

why do you think a ban on using personal data would stop the flow of disinformation?

You did

Yup. What I was most surprised by is, in the wake of all these killings of people showing drawings of muhammad, the US Supreme Court features a scultu...

It's hopeful, to me, that the Muslim community has those voices that are trying to push them forward. The idea that the international Muslim community...

What did you think about it as a challenge? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/969271

Of course it's not obvious. Violence is about physical harm to a human. If I burn my own book that I bought, it's not the same as punching you. Me bur...

be my guest. I won't litigate the burning of any of my online content.

you. You're the one saying it's violent, it's criminal. If we went back in time and instead of you saying it should be criminal to offend someone, you...

it's not the governments business if someone decides to end a relationship

I think people have the right to end their relationships, no one is a prisoner to a relationship, ending a relationship shouldn't be a crime. A world ...

Because you're speaking nonsense lmao. If you can't even distinguish between "what should you do?" and "what should the law enforce?" then answering y...

It is absolutely different. I don't think someone should wash their underwear and their shirts in the same load, but I don't believe anybody should be...

No you didn't, you talked about what I should do. Saying what someone should do is different from explicitly saying it's violent or it's criminal. Any...

We're talking about laws and, really, you called it "violence" initially. Whether I agree with you on what someone should do is entirely different fro...

you are speaking in complete vagueries at this point

But you want it to be considered a crime? Consider this: can't you hurt peoples feelings even by doing nothing wrong? I mean what if I want to break u...

no, not a theist, atheist (funny that a single space could make a word mean the exact opposite thing)

What do you mean by 'bridge the gap'? Do you mean, how can we get it through to Muslims that they need to stop knifing people just because they're off...

Ok, so I know that Muslims feel that way about their holy book, that's a given. The question "why punish?" isn't for muslims to answer, it's for *ever...

You personally believe that?

I agree, that's why I think his idea that offense should be treated as a criminal matter is so bizarre.

I'm asking how he decides which offensive things are worth punishing and which ones aren't. Anybody can feel hurt by anything, he almost certainly doe...

Right, so it is just based on peoples feelings. So anytime anybody feels like they've been offended, that's an offense? Anytime someone's feelings are...

an offense based on what criteria?

What's the criteria for offense? Why is burning a quran offensive, but being a homosexual or even a homophobe not offensive? What determines if someth...

So how does that answer any of the relevant talking points we've been talking about?

What is offense, if not just a feeling? Isn't offending someone just making them feel offended?

the quran offends me, should people who distribute the quran be punished?

so if homosexuality offends someone, the homosexual should be punished? And if some homophobe says "homosexuality offends me", and that offends a homo...

you're just boring me. too illogical.

Should all offenses by subject to punishment by the laws? Anytime you offend anyone?

ok, you don't actually care about the answer to the question you're asking. No idea why you've decided to troll me here. It's not interesting.

You inserted yourself into a conversation between two other people. If you care about what happened in the conversation, you're welcome to read it you...

yes, one person has been calling insults "violence" this whole time, and it's not me.

Right, exactly, not violence. That's what I'm saying.

ok so no part of the law says it's violent. Even if you go to jail for slander, say, they won't consider you a "violent criminal".

And which part of that law says the insult is violence?

We just saw Kendrick Lamar perform a song at the superbowl specifically written to insult one person. Nobody stopped him. Maybe he'll get sued, at wor...

so everything that is prohibited by laws is violence? and no, insulting isn't prohibited by laws in those countries. Insulting is actually pretty gene...

Is this a general belief of yours? Offending feelings is violence in general?
