Moral value isn't something that can be described as intrinsic without divine command theories. I reject those, so I reject that there could be an int...

Neither of those things happened. Your comprehension has definitely taken a hit.

My understanding is that it is point-blank not accessible. The pre-conscious is what you are describing. based on two Princeton MOOCs i took. https://...

I think it possible my response to MU just before will do some work for me. Essentially, I agree with you and those final couple of lines sit very wel...

This is going to be really tough for you. Prepare yourself for some blunt answers, and understand I am having to literally wipe my brow each time i ne...

Yes. I think impulse control is one of the least-good things about humans. And education.

It seems to be working. Paying 55 for a pouch of tobacco that was $22 fifteen years ago is a big turn off for most. We also the issue of (don't read t...

Yessir. If i was less clear than this, as it seems I was, i apologise. But this, it seems, is the case. PC explicitly states that Identity does not ob...

They do. My son is 8 and extremely feminine. He is acutely aware of how this will follow him through life.

He spent his life trying to prove this. He could not. Dennis (his brother - a friend of mine) has been quite clear about this since Terence died. He w...

Speech is not violence. That is a pretty un-crossable line in definition and usage. Trying to shoe-horn 'violence' into words is an expansion of meani...

I do not thikn this is right(substantive after formal) The experiment has two prongs, so to speak: 1. You hear the story, and have an intuition about ...

(I think) The point is that this is how the world works, so there's no use pointing it out and pretending that because its 'wrong', we don't reason th...

Thanks for that - if you had paid attention, you'd have known I wasn't here for quite some time. Try not to be so combative and childish constantly. T...

I quit smoking in March 2020. It is one of ht ebest choices I've made, though I really miss smoking. You think Cigs are expensive in minnesota? The eq...

No, its not understandable at all. Celebrating hte political murder of someone who defended his positions on conceptual grounds, and never expressed h...

(not a shot at you at all Mikie; you just happen to be the only post about this subject) Weird that there's barely any mention of the most high-profil...

Perhaps I'm not grasping this, but if someone is perceiving "something" then that is "objects" broadly (and in the way i suggest it be used here - I'm...

When I have thousands of words waiting to be written in response to people who have given their valuable time, intellect and effort to either help me ...

The problem as I see is is that objectors are trying to say religious thinking is metaphorical. It is best utilized as such but it is not, in most cas...

Technically, no, because the choice was made and we're not able to ever review it in this way. Theoretically, I think yes. But this involves agreeing ...

:ok:

It is though. You need to either answer the question, or stop pretending to have a point. If you receive the information, and i don't know (you entere...

"a person may misjudge what one is perceiving, and this does not imply that the person perceives nothing." Yes. They are perceiving something. Good. T...

Which, as I have quite clearly and distinctly laid out for you - does not have anythign to do with sex determination. Aberration doesn't change your s...

I have a feeling you have both read past me, and not quite understood what you have read. Several parts of this response are quite odd.. Not really, n...

Thanks for this, but I cannot see how this is particularly relevant to the arguments, rather than a good go-over of what was put forward as commentary...

Deserve seems the wrong word. It will. That's all we can say. My crippling depression, drug addiction and a glimmer of light/insight which came to me ...

I can't see this relating to my response much at all. The preconscious and subconscious are not hte same. The subconscious cannot be made conscious, i...

Not quite. I am quite personally really perturbed and unsettled by the celebrations and subsequent justifications of the same. This murder and its res...

Hi team - I'll be around a little bit now. Crisis averted, such as it was - for clarity, this 'crisis' was not debilitating in any clinical sense. It ...

I apologise to everyone to whom I owe responses - most, quite robust ones. I am going through a rather acute mental health crisis and wont be able to ...

I think we all know what is 'wrong' and 'right' but our intuitions and some deliberation. Whether that applies to another is a matter of chance (sort ...

I don't quite understand why, or why the search for advice, but yeah go for it. Filling out threads can only be good - just do not have an AI argument...

In differentiation, yes. I have explained that quite clearly too. Those aberrations don't change your sex. They lead to aberrant phenotype and sometim...

I know. I suggest to slow down a little and work through element-by-element - it's hard to keep hold on all the different concepts. The transporter do...

Citations don't have a lot to do with this. For Kant's system to work (to transcend, that is) physical objects (or, a physical object) must be impress...

I would want to ask a question: Do you not see a stark difference between a physical act, and spoken words? I am not suggesting words do not enter the...

It depends exactly what you're asking - Jesus was created in someone's mind (at least, the character Jesus - I am alive to the fact that there was, mo...

Hmm, I don't think it changes anything. THe transporter need not 'work' for there to be an acceptable output. PC does that, avoiding hte problem of wh...

No, i'm going to explain why this is a fallacy and that you are wrong, given that you can't present a single piece of information which goes against t...

If you want to hold that we perceive physical objects without there actually being any objects to cause our perception to be involved in anything what...

Then you would do well to actually do this; not make blanket statements not even (until after this passage) supported by even your own take on somethi...

LOL, you're getting much better. I don't think I understand the anecdote. That person lacks discipline and clear understanding of what's been told to ...

That's nice dear. So have I. My description of the consensus is correct. I don't have much interesting in pissing on each other's shoes. Let's leave i...

No. It is presenting a counter-example, only one of which is needed to unsecure a claim. This isn't a fallacy in any way. If I am right, and people ar...

That doesn't seem entirely wrong to me, it just begs the question of how could that possibly matter, if all it obtains in is a single planck-length ty...

It seems there is nothing to be said here, then. But you are incorrect, my friend.

Yeah, I don't thikn you're making too much sense. Kant, or Janus? I am addressing Kant's positions, not Janus'. If you disagree with my take, take me ...

But only a one of them is having sex for money. And that is called prostitution. Not commodifying one's body. We do not call builders football players...
