Yep. And that makes me extremely uncomfortable. Not that its 'wrong'. Can't quite see what's being got at here.. This is exactly hte pitfall I am decr...
Correct. And (if accepted) the fact that biology gives us (at least one) "sex" which is universally applicable and attends to the interesting factors ...
here you go :) Virtue Ethics, then. This is what I am critiquing. It allows for whatever 'aspirations' one can coherently generate to be followed. Not...
It really, truly does not, as far as I can tell. If your definition is just "shared values" sure, but you could've just said that in your first reply ...
No, that doesn't change anything mate. That is multiple use of words. You're also missing that one is indicative and one is determinative So lets go t...
I don't. I choose my battles - and when it comes to you, you're either trolling or incapable of clearly reading things. So my responses might be unple...
Yes. Funnily enough, i actually picked up Tractatus for hte bus this morning, so read these exact passages before responding. The point of Many Worlds...
I act from (or maybe, act out?) values. So my values, wherever applicable, are what will 'inform' me as to which action should be undertaken. But 'sho...
I'm unsure, as it's never been particularly attractive to me, but it sounds that way. A person steeped in Wahabi teachings couldn't be "virtuous" as c...
My understanding of hte way virtue ethics work is that its a non-religious moral system that allows someone to say "The type of person i ought to be i...
That is what determines maleness. What maleness is, is the active presence of SRY. There isn't a further answer. The 'further answers' are the ones fo...
"Who decides who passes" didn't seem a policy question, but fair enough. Sorry. False. SRY determines maleness. Male phenotype (including testes) is d...
You're right - but it is patently, and unequivocally irrelevant how many trans woman carry out petty theft, or public nuisance (which isn't linked to ...
Potentially not 'on a whim' because values tend to be a bit more deep-seated. But I can do it while sitting quietly in my bedroom, unconnected to medi...
No, there isn't, but we're discussing it, so why not take stabs? I don't feel morality comes from without, and never have, besides watching religious ...
To me, they can only possibly imply a fuller thought of the person. They may use a term like 'ought' but in reality, that cannot be more than a sugges...
An active one, yes. That seems to be the deduction of biology. Are you using the women's bathroom? If not, you're not relevant. I know that's not your...
I don't think so, overall, but i'll be specific. Values constantly change. This is another reason its somewhat arbitrary, even on some shared value ba...
I hear you, as the latter causes suffering for men, generally. But I do not think that is what's happening here. Otherwise, the general separation of ...
No quite, but that they do so brute. There's no particularly convincing principle that would ensure people are moved by anyone else's moral views, but...
"A possible world is a complete and consistent way the world is or could have been. Possible worlds are widely used as a formal device in logic, philo...
The plain fact that one believes in a personal God is enough to dismiss their arguments about said God. It doesn't even get of the ground as a concept...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xktC_T8YbO8 Mahalia has to be one of the most underrated artists/singers of all time. And she's fairly well known, so ...
yeah, nice. And I think the fatal objection here is that this isn't how morality is thought of. It is better, though, i'll absolutely give you that. T...
No, no. People use those words and I have no criticism of that. I criticise using those words to defend a moral theory (you have neglected this, which...
www.terfisaslur.com - I don't think ever TRA is this type of TRA, but they are worth mentioning. And the reason for this is exactly what you've outlin...
Very fair, but that isn't my position. My position is that "wrong" and "right" are ambiguous, amorphous and probably indefinable terms which create a ...
Yep but that flies in the face of both the empirical evidence, and the work in that paper. You should read it throroughly (I have, but its been some t...
It wasn't. It wasn't intimated. I said something completely different. You completely and utterly ignored literally everything relevant to my argument...
Then you're simply ignoring the other half, given your objection below this is entirely hollow. That is, roughly, the point. We do this with mentally ...
Your responses tell me you're not engaging with the arguments. I've laid them our clearly. If you;'re not convinced. So be it. I didn't. I addressed t...
It's the UK prison stats. This isn't as good, but another source Trans women: Total Pop: 48,000 est. In prison: 0.27% For sex crime: 0.16% Non trans m...
No, it isn't. Something can be good and one ought not do it largely because there is absolutely no reason to think 'ought' holds any water whatsoever ...
No one does. That's my entire point lol. Again, not really. This is a widely accepted conception of morality. It is what people talk about when discus...
Mate, this is so bizarre. There is a legal doctrine known as "If but for". This means that "if but for X, Y would not have happened". This applies to ...
Yeah, definitely. I think we have been to some degree. Initially it was grating, but now I see it clearly, it's interesting and revealing :) That's fa...
It's an uncomfortable reversal of a norm. We wouldn't expect people to call white people Black because they want to be Black (actually, a better examp...
It is. See? This is almost zero to do with what I've said. Could you maybe address it? The drug trade across the border is not controversial. Nor (thi...
