They aren't strawmen. They are how leftists behave, en masse, where their behaviour can be reviewed (interviews, protests, news reports, instagram con...
Certainly can, but there's no reason to suppose someone who doesn't think so is wrong. This is my entire point (and I think most of the discussion is ...
Not at the women I know, so he is definitely wrong. That's not to bring down the importance of the issue, but it is actually pretty important to note,...
You said a lot more than that. That's not correct, at all. Violation of human rights, when you're grop thinks it's ok, is the MO of 'leftist' thinking...
Yeah, which is a bit wild given their position on that document by lip service. Yes, that's been quite troubling for sure. That spells out something f...
No, not at all as I see This is nice. Very clear key to your thinking. . The statements of medicine are simply not ethical statements (unless you mean...
It is. I am really unsure hwo you're saying it's not, and I've full understood the rest of your comment. I agree, stomping babies is bad. Whether it's...
No, but that's not something in the world. It's something about things in the world. All the things that could represent that equation wont stay the s...
I agree, but I think that's just a mistake of analysis ). One has consequences we want to avoid. The other, generally, is trivial. That doesn't really...
For my part, I cannot think of 'masculine' and 'feminine' as actually telling us anything at all unless there is some tie to the sexes. Otherwise, we'...
I agree. But ethical statements do rely on emotional positions. I do not see anything else happening when one makes such statements. The deliberation ...
Further making clear your ethical system is emotivist at base. This isn't particualrly a dig at you - I just cannot understand why people have such a ...
Your use of Truth precludes us from ever having it. Nothing to do with our influence on it. Contradiction, on your own terms. That's my entire point. ...
It was rhetorical. If that's all you need to make you 'sure' of a generational speculation, I'm unsure where to take this.. Yep. What's the relevance?...
Neither was mine. I was excluding it, as religious revelation would surpass the level of certainty he indicates. Are you suggesting there is some othe...
Are you sure this is what's happening? I don't really see it. I can see it as a (foreseeable, and dismal) side effect. That said, I'm unsure this woul...
Well, that isn't really my position. My position is that the way you are using 'truth' results in this state of affairs. Nothing rises to the required...
I'm with T Clark here. Nothing meets the criteria you're using, without plain supposition. Therefore, for what the word truth is mean to entail, it is...
I don't think that is true. Yes, some civil services are being dismantled, with a view to restoring them in better (read: more efficient) forms (wheth...
Belief that it is true doesn't rise to knowledge. Justifying that belief seems to be doing the work, and actual Truth not attainable. So, I return to ...
I don't see how it could be, given it's stated separately? Justification is the reason for believing. Not it's veridicality. Also, that is jettisoning...
Yes, i've scored off this ball earlier. I don't fault you for not seeing it. This is where a truly rational person cannot escape their faulty thinking...
I think you've missed my point - that is T truth, as far as we could possibly conceive. I dont understand why we would say anything else.. I do think ...
Can this be rounded off, though? Are there not cases where you would say, given there is literally no possible further indicator, that something can b...
I think probably you're missing that a great number of people do not think your take on his policies are that way. I mean, I can see objectively that ...
Oh, i see where you're going. Thanks for clarifying. Hmm okay, well again, my answer was 'no' so maybe I intuit something similar. But yeah, life isn'...
I'm not entirely on Outlander's vibe here, because I think comparing reality to utopia is silly, but nevertheless, I don't think AOC is 'fine'. I woul...
100%. Some are in government now, by concession it seems, so we may actually have to come to terms with how ridiculous that way of comporting oneself ...
I fail to see any reason to answer to such a weird charge in the fullness with which you've laid it out. My answer to the direct question is "no". But...
Ignore them. They are not playing hte game. And they know it. That's why the 'woke' don't actually get much truck. You'll never see a screaming blue-h...
It always does. Hume doesn't scare me. We go through these changes. We're in a stable enough civilisation. I don't see any reason to think it wont. Re...
This is it. We should do what's been discussed in some recent forum feedback - ignore. When they get louder, as they inevitably will, laws will be bro...
I think everyone's got good things going on in these comments. It seems we're all on the same page of not treating anyone differently based on their s...
Yes, i agree with that. There's a clear area on the spectrum of 'masculine' behaviour which is pernicious and destructive. Equally with feminine behav...
Yes, true, but the concept filled with sense data (in the IDR sense) is not synonymous with the concept. It's a particular, modified expression of the...
Fair enough. Neither am I, but that's because we're on a philosophy forum. If i was, in earnest, charged with carrying a motivation of consolidating m...
It'll be quite interesting to see how these threads go when, in say six years time, shit's the same. No disaster, no world war, no collapse of society...
