If I were you, I would get therapy.

HI everyone, I currently have 21 notifications. It is highly unlikely I will respond to any of them. I am finding myself in rather intense family conf...

I think that's just the target audience. That's who they can rile up the most. That said, think its pretty damn clear Amnesty is a pretty blithering o...
August 30, 2024 at 04:37
(most recent reply to MU) It seems to for me. As far as your response to me, that's relatively clear as to the position - but I find it really hard to...

An absolutely crystal example of Searle's inability to think clearly. He very much likes his hand waving.
August 30, 2024 at 02:59
Personally, I see that version (deontastic!) as inapt. It essentially says "there's a risk, so don't" which I can't quite see as a good enough reason ...
August 30, 2024 at 02:29
Yep. There is naught to talk about but our experience of anything. Otherwise, Noumena. The speculative metaphysics going on in here to support the ide...
August 30, 2024 at 01:43
I think it would clearer to say that "the sum total of suffering ensured by living a human life outweights any version of hte calculus a ANist can pro...
August 30, 2024 at 01:29
It's certainly possible I'm not quite groking the question, so if this doesn't seem apt - that'll be why lol. Prima facie, I would say it doesn't tip ...
August 30, 2024 at 00:42
Fair Yep. I don't see them as apt at all given they were responding to me making that point. It seems like your position is that there must be balance...
August 29, 2024 at 22:28
I think this is more-or-less the discussion ANs have (and honestly, the one whcih is usually attempted cross-positionally). The type though doesn't se...
August 29, 2024 at 21:05
I see... Again, fair enough lol. No idea about your history I thought it was really funny. I'd recommend he keep making jokes.
August 29, 2024 at 19:58
True - I should probably remember the stark difference between this forum and in-class discussions I have.
August 29, 2024 at 04:55
Of course. This is now coming across as fairly bad faith (i know it isn't but please note what you're doing - telling me I'm not intellectually in the...
August 29, 2024 at 04:22
I'm not sure what "I did" pertains to, or what video you're specifically referring to so shan't comment, but your conclusion here tells me you don't q...
August 29, 2024 at 03:46
I do. We often turn to shoot the messenger, don't we :) For sure. Which is why I woulkd ask again: Given you're (by your own admission) not understand...
August 29, 2024 at 03:33
Unfortunately, we only have two options: 1. Discuss amongst ourselves (i.e those holders of the view, or sympathetic to the view); or 2. Put up with p...
August 29, 2024 at 02:27
You have proved yourself incapable of reading a simple response. AS always, proving you're not a serious person. It gets easier and easier. Maybe if y...
August 29, 2024 at 02:23
Is the position that ethics are objective, whether or not we apprehend them? And that we actually don't apprehend them? This is somewhat confusing. On...
August 29, 2024 at 02:09
* New Zealand :) Very abnormal, thought probably not so abnormal outside of the undergraduate cohort (remember, I'm a 'mature' learner and so not part...
August 28, 2024 at 21:52
Then stop fucking posting in here? Good lord. Or, be honest - the reason you keep posting is because you care. One or the other, no?
August 28, 2024 at 06:26
Oh, I see. You're yelling into the ether then...
August 28, 2024 at 06:24
Not if you want to reconstruct reality rather than a pale comparison. In any case, it sounds like you're apply concepts in data processing to "reality...
August 28, 2024 at 06:19
LOL, Yes, I suppose so. May not non-ethical, but ethically bereft/empty/inapt. I hope you groked what I was getting at though... Simply that there is ...
August 28, 2024 at 06:13
DiAngelo has been accused of plagiarising several passages from her PhD (and some subsequent) thesis. From POC. Seems pretty cut-and-dried to me. Scha...
August 28, 2024 at 06:11
No, it doesn't. I seriously do not think you are taking enough time to read these replies. I am directly, stringently addressing this point in each re...
August 28, 2024 at 06:08
(this one I've picked, because it clearly shows me saying something stupid, but still attests to your error. There are plenty more i recall, but I don...
August 28, 2024 at 04:36
No. It was a misstatement which I've fixed. You're very much welcome.
August 28, 2024 at 00:53
Jesus christ lol.
August 28, 2024 at 00:41
I did. It is appearing, more or more credibly, that you're not really doing the same, as there is clarity from comment one of this exchange and severa...
August 28, 2024 at 00:40
LMAO, possibly, but your response seems to just be inapt, even on review. The core point was missed. You're trying to assert that mind-reading is a so...
August 28, 2024 at 00:37
I'll try to sort out your comments below, but I do not see how that, in any way, harms itself. If the ethical goal is to no longer require ethical sys...
August 28, 2024 at 00:36
Not to sound rude, but did you actually read my reply? My position is that: Your POV that we're 'looking for problems' is simply not the case. ANd, it...
August 27, 2024 at 23:19
Not quite, no. I've addressed this apparent hypocrisy recently and wont rehash because I'll make a pigs ear of it. These are the precise issues I addr...
August 27, 2024 at 23:13
It was a bt of a cheeky quip - I don't think its possible to call someone an asshole from their public output, unless its criminal/socially criminal. ...
August 27, 2024 at 23:11
True - I suppose I would be looking for how you can instantiate an entire political mode from economics.. Though, i understand the 'slippery slope' as...
August 27, 2024 at 23:08
Interesting - I would never had thought to ask this, though, I am essentially not open to an afterlife that retains any personality whatsoever. INtere...
August 27, 2024 at 23:06
Seems the modus operandi. I cannot fault, though, as it's likely I've come across like this most of the time to you also(and that's ignoring our actua...
August 27, 2024 at 22:56
The answer is 1994: - Leon: The Professional - The Crow - Natural Born Killers - Interview with the Vampire - Four Weddings and a Funeral - Corina Cor...
August 27, 2024 at 06:39
Ah yep, fair. Would you like any that show his other side? Well, tbf, he has several - but he is often, quite extremely misconstrued. That said, there...
August 27, 2024 at 04:52
Do you know him personally? Or is this just sort of yelling into the ether "hes an AH"?
August 27, 2024 at 04:26
Thanks Dan. Unfortunately, I don't actually think you're being all that clear. All the bolded creates a murky, insufficiently direct sort of paragraph...
August 27, 2024 at 04:25
I did not say that, thank you very much. (your point is these posts were an exchange between yourself and RussellA - unfortunately for me, it was also...
August 27, 2024 at 03:16
Nope. Still nope. It is not. This is simply you outlining an ambiguity and then claiming the least-charitable version for your own ends. Not sure why ...
August 27, 2024 at 03:11
You are clearly making some extremely sensitive inferences that don't make sense. No idea why you would want me to be insulting you, but there we are....
August 27, 2024 at 02:41
If I am not missing your point, I think this distills it well in a way that clears the air for what MU has been saying (if not, for them proper). You'...
August 27, 2024 at 02:30
I maintain it was. It was not in response to you directly, or indirectly. Nope. Yep, so naturally I would have replied to you, right? Whereas I didn't...
August 27, 2024 at 02:21
No, no. Keep it coming. It's entertaining seeing other people wishing I had a different opinion about my own experiences. Its bizarre and interesting ...
August 27, 2024 at 02:17
The former, sure. But of hte thread (or at least the wider discussion beyond my contributions) - I just don't see a problem there. I don't think the l...

Boethius' Consolation. Anyone got notes?
