I think everyone is taking Trump the person way more seriously than he takes himself. He's muddling through - not planning a decade-long campaign to b...

The only difference is that its circumscribed to a given system, though, right?

The vast, vast majority of philosophy has nothing to do with this, despite best efforts to pretend it is about personal development. "How best to live...

This is... quite rich.

Well done; have a cookie. Once again, proving the above. At least attempt not to be ethically disgusting.

You cannot be seriously encouraging hiring practices which are overtly racist and sexist, diminishing the value and achievement of those marginalised ...

And there we have it. You are not a serious person.

This is, at the very least, consistent with reality. If Jesus is real, his love transcends the sum of habits that we call Christianity.

Cannot get over how formatting is most of 180's posts.

As usual. Are the guy that lost his mind and started punching himself in the head in their car on tik tok when Biden announced this? Same vibe from yo...

To be entirely clear, I don't hold that view. I think 'legal obligations' exist, and are pursuant to written laws. Those laws may be arbitrary, and th...

Right - o. This seems to just be a circle at this stage, ignoring all else outside of it.

Which says a huge, huge amount about you. Not him. absolutely. More jokes in the clowns show.

That is a wild, unsubstantiated and almost certainly dead-wrong assumption. Most philosophers are not continental philosophers. Most philosophers are ...

I think Continental philosophy is demonstrably stupid and self-referential. It is bad writing, bad thinking and even worse social discourse. Those are...

Yeah, Im unsure you read my most recent response in this case. Your re-quoting simply leads me to illustrate for you the same mistake. We are just not...

I can't grasp what I'm to get from your comment. It seems plain to me Continental philosophy had, and carries a relatively specific agenda among its n...

I have read much. I don't take it seriously. Neither do the vast, vast majority of academics and students I've interacted with through Philosophy educ...

LOL Fair enough. I can't see how. They are not parallel questions to me. I was addressing whether or not there is an obligation Not what one would do ...

I've seen several comments that our members wish death on Trump and liken him to Hitler Can be 100% sure, without a shadow of a doubt this is not a po...

I knew there was a reason Continental philosophy isn't taken seriously...

Your response was "nonsense" and then reposting the post from which I quoted. I don't know what to do with that level of sillygooseness ( my tongue is...

I see you've chosen to deny what is clearly a reasonable take, in terms that themselves indicate you're not thinking very clearly. I read the whole po...

You've sort of... nevermind. Please re-read my comments as I have thoroughly outlined how this could be done. We are third parties. The person themsel...

Understood. I think, though I wouldn't assume your mind, that i've groked that correctly across all exchanges to that end. You believe the obligation ...

Here you are, Janus. I need to do no more.

Ahem. This is a Neon Green goalpost, totally different to personal justification. That's my point. And it's correct. I don't think you've read my post...

Fair - i suppose I was looking toward a situation where you'd have just outlined your personal position with reference. But in any case, it looks like...

Very, VERY different question that shifts the entire conversation to a different goalpost (not sure you intended to do that - just being clear why its...

Mikie still not capable of a rational thought. Oh well. The last three days have been wild. Trump will win. It will be a fun watch, and its a shame th...

His argument is just a whine. It's not really an argument. I fail to see how it requires actual rebuttals?

I only think its possible to 'justify' as far as 'it wasn't entirely arbitrary'. Beyond that, I think its not al that possible to 'justify' much at al...

You could (and please don't take this is prickly... it really is not) have just explained legal positivism to establish why a 'legitimate authority' c...

No. It's not. Thanks for playing.

All I can say is lets hope you aren't quite this fragile in the real world. As with Tobias, I don't care, and nor should you. Thanks for this. I can t...

None of this matters - it only relates to what I already granted you - what HUmans do about this is a fun discussion. But this changes nothing about h...

It's not arguable. In this scenario, its cooked in that states of affairs are relayable by the ultimate being. They are going to be 100% air-tight and...

No. You took something out of context to make it seem ridiculous. This is called strawmanning among other things. IN the real world, this sort of unde...

It does this forwardly too. We just don't know the outcomes because we don't have the calculating power or access to the data (in fact, we might have ...

That isn't nonsensical though, is it 180? Its simply not veridical. IFF an Abrahamic God exists, then there we have objective facts from on high. With...

I missed this, so will give my response here, and then add responses to your most recent below: Ah, but this is entirely fine and there's nothing wron...

Christ. No wonder you do this on a forum.

This is how I approach it (with academic vigor included.. its now my vocation). I can't get into the weeds on Ethics in real life. Its not worth my ti...

Right, somewhat fair. In this case, I think it would take that accounting exercise though. Again, in the individual circumstance your delusion(Tradema...

If you can only read three words out of a post, please don't respond to it. You're only further evidencing your inabilities anyway, so I'm giving you ...

This is ethics in a nutshell. It's also why co-operation is such a crucial aspect of being alive. I'm unsure it would. Its just far less high-stakes, ...

This isn't touching the problem that I'm seeing missed: "the promise" does not exist. The act of commitment happened, and that can't be changed retroa...

No. Nor should it be.

I agree hence boredom, rather than frustration. Still not understanding sentences it seems. Well done mate.
