No, not at all. That's not semantics. "death" is an event. "being dead" is not "death". Corvus is literally using poetics to try to make metaphysical ...

That's fair - As i say, from a detached perspective. But I agree, anyway. It's just cartoonish. Maybe that would have been better phrasing. I think th...

My favourite sentence of all time, a friend and I stumbled across some 12 years ago: "Nothing means it.." in reference to... something.

Yep. In the exact context I gave. He also, multiple times, stood up for minorities even against his own fans, spoke highly of all people as children o...

I'll number responses rather than quoting - posts are getting quite long and gummy, as I see - sorry if that makes it more difficult. 1. Ah yep; thank...

LOL. Yep.

Definitely with you this. I do my best not to - but then, I don't see someone like Kirk as an extremist where plenty will. I thikn that's unfounded an...

I've treated it. In response, you essentially made the claim that certain novelties of being human is what supports the label, right? If that's wrong,...

Right back at you. You'd have to actually explain yourself. On your question; No. That doesn't make any sense.

I did not cite it - you'll note from my language that this is obvious. As I've addressed. Please read clearly and carefully before responding. I think...

Interesting opener. I reject this, so we're already at big odds. But I mean being gender critical isn't an ideology either. Yet, you have people citin...

"exist spatially"? Then first response is right. "exist conceptually"? Then definitely more that do not exist, in fact exist. See. Philosophy can be f...

This isn't a struggle for an emotivist. It's just a fact of life. Co-operation operates the way it does and the a majority of people, emotivist or not...

This is a Jack Turban paper. Here's some counterpoints to Jack Turban being much more than an activist with an agenda https://www.theoryandsocialinqui...

You guys really aren't honest interlocutors are you?? The point that matters was this, which you conveniently ignored: I don't require those numbers t...

The level of dramatics in this is alarming. Can you please clarify what you mean by "out of existence"? Last I checked, trans people still exist in th...

Your low-level posts are noted and will be dealt with if they continue.

Ah yes, poetics. This is not philosophy mate. All good.

A decent repsonse, but I think you need to look very hard, and very close at "perceived" in most of these circumstances. Trans people definitively do ...

This is the 'bingo' that I think most thinkers miss.

Edit: Not worth the time. Sorry to bother you.

I still cannot make any sense of your overuse of formatting. It makes you harder to read than most anyone else here. So If i've misunderstood somethin...

Then humour me - are you trying to fit the term "the state of being dead" into the word "Death"? Because I don't think anyone is going to take that se...

It's more telling that you just continue to make shit up and can't understand why someone might avoid that. I get that this is the lounge, but if you ...

I understand you're trying to be poetic. I am uninterested given the context. Death is an event, it is momentary and after that time you are no longer...

I don't think its an objection to the position. I think its an emotional response to someone else clearly stating the facts of the matter. Emotivism c...

fwiw, I don't claim this. It is getting dangerously close, but that only works with my internal nuanced use of 'woke' which hasn't fit with any uses i...

The next part informs this one pretty well. You cannot have an identity divorced from reality and expect others to participate. They cannot. They do n...

I don't think you understand what is being said: Birth is an event. So is death. Your take is a weird elongation of a concept it isn't apt for. If you...

Hard to figure out what you're talking about. I gave you a fact. Suggesting we 'reconsider' our clientele is bizarre. The link does not help, either. ...

Once again, what he actually did was quote scripture and fit cross dressing into a bible outline of 'abomination'. He did not outline any personal vie...

Well, you've got to stop (not saying you do but it's common) making fun of emotivism to get an answer to this :lol: . It has to do with any behaviours...

Certainly. These, I think, are just super uncomfortable to most people. Leon seems to not be able to conceptually understand that I do not think my vi...

I gave you the definition. It is not mine, I did not make it up - I am adhering to the given definition. There is no quibbling here. I have given you ...

This is fairly confused. One's identity can't be divorced from reality, while that person expects other people to participate. We know what men and wo...

That example doesn't come close to incitement. "For all i care" makes this explicitly clear and the courts could be considered ultra vires for hte way...

No. Death is an event. It happens once in a lifetime. Two if you're lucky. And there is no more to be said beyond that.

You may want to read my next point :) I think that's overly broad, and dumb. What Jamal laid out in full was far more to say than that would have me t...

LOL, fair enough - fwiw, I often see the same problem. I just don't have productivity as a benchmark around here :) Not strictly, but you can be found...

I think perhaps if the take is "its bigoted and stupid" that probably isn't the reason someone was banned. Equally, the guideline section quoted in th...

That definition is in quotes, indicating it is not mine. It is the definition of the word. That is not all I said. Your version of "what is usual" is ...

I think its more than they can come together in some cases, but are not dependent on one another. I can concede this and, as i say, regret the starkne...

I mean, I take that view (as does the UK supreme court, and it seems a majority of hte US government too). My point is more that for this thread, I wa...

Death is an event. It is momentary (depending on definition - but the on/off event is momentary).

I think, from my perspective, is that the whining tends to come from the issue of increased costs for little outcome (meaning, cost x to include an ac...

Unfortunately, I think a required clarification, will defeat this in a significant way: What relativist are you talking to? If you're talking to a 'st...

hehehe. Good. I'm unsure this is true but I like it. Consciousness may only appear that way the experiencer, so in some sense yeah that's right - but ...

I quite literally did. Focusing on my use of the word 'simply' is .... weird. What are you talking about? It's not 'my own' definition, I don't disagr...

Death is literally momentary.

It's an extremely tired question, but I would need to know what a 'woman' or 'man' is before the discussion goes too far. I do not think this can be a...
