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...
(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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
* New Zealand :) Very abnormal, thought probably not so abnormal outside of the undergraduate cohort (remember, I'm a 'mature' learner and so not part...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
(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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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. ...
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...
Interesting - I would never had thought to ask this, though, I am essentially not open to an afterlife that retains any personality whatsoever. INtere...
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...
The answer is 1994: - Leon: The Professional - The Crow - Natural Born Killers - Interview with the Vampire - Four Weddings and a Funeral - Corina Cor...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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....
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'...
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...
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 ...
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...
