The idea that all other animals are able to prey upon their weaker fellow animals and that Humans are especially to side-step this, is infantile nonse...
THis is a neat little microcosm of hte senselessness of most of your writing. Unsure whether that reflects on your positions though, because it's so u...
A brief overview of what she attempted would have gleaned this apparent fact. Her protestations just make her points all the more poor, given that the...
Well, as it is, that is how i conceptualise teletransportation. My point was that the resulting person is psychologically continuous, and psychologica...
That they clearly either haven't, or are being pretended as not read and understood. It's hard for people to squirm away from quotes. I've had to eat ...
I'm not really sure I'm making of all this (despite noting its probably in Jest). If 'society' is the light, then its merely mob rule. Morality isn't ...
Jesus Christ. No. There are simply things I find unbecoming, and not immoral. Aesthetic disagreement is not moral. I don't want to wear bright Orange ...
Not sure what you want me to glean from an opinion piece asserting several faulty claims... in the Guardian. Let's just cut through it: "To date, I’ve...
She probably is, though, given this is 2024 and not 1954. Absolutely. Almost all non-white-male philosophy prior to 1900 was in the exact same mode as...
At least Mikie keeps his unhinged insulting crap to the Lounge. Probably hte only reason there hasn't been other-mod intervention with his absolutely ...
I haven't even read your posting, just saw the name and ears pricked up. Always good to see locals about :) I agree with the final line. But i think t...
Yes, indeed. I think this is very well discussed by Nagel and Parfit, respectively. Split-brain cases are rather important in considering this. Memori...
Yeah, good.. and fair enough. I reject the categorical imperative, which will do some heavy lifting in justifying my responses further down the post. ...
Some months ago when I put myself in his Crosshairs, I actually put together a log of his intensely uncivil insulting comments to posters who did noth...
I think it's a bit of an empty claim. It's intuitively true, if you take the position, but in itself, I don't think it's a claim to certainty. Given t...
Given that this is precisely antithetical to the exchange (which we can go back and read) I will assume that you're wrong, which gives me hope for my ...
This is incoherent. There are no linguistic portions of hte thoughts. You have, again, contradicted yourself. I understand why you did not understand ...
As noted, yes i have, and you have ignored it (it seems!). You are asking to me prove the negation of your position. No thank you, Good sir. You fail ...
Not sure whether this name is allowed here, but Terence McKenna has made much this same point - that originators have no control of their ideas, in a ...
This sentence does not make grammatical sense. From what I gather, you're trying to say I painted myself into a corner. No. As noted, these are your p...
That's a fair comment - I think what I'm getting at though, is that these examples do not survive without being someone's personal view of the act/eve...
Yeah good, Nice. I agree that this is what happens, outside minds. But, as noted earlier, this is simply an insufficient argument. On some accounts, l...
Unfortunately, thee question was based on your premise to show why your position was absurd. I noted this. The reason the question is absurd (it is, I...
(i think (and it was aimed at me lol)) He's speaking conceptually. You can swap in any specific mythological event and the reasoning he's using still ...
You didn't. I didn't intimate you did. Sorry if it came off that way. I am telling you that they aren't as a premise for a further comment on what you...
Fair enough. It conveyed to me what you're trying to get across. Defer to you if it doesn't work given its your thread and ideas. I think Bob picked u...
With the exception of Hank Johnson, I agree but I disagree this matters. The issues they are supporting the claims with are just mild, uninteresting c...
I would think that the case, so all good. You accepted my position immediately after rejecting it. You also agreed it was debatable If it was erroneou...
I say: No, what hte hell, Its literally in the mind of the actor. There is no value 'in the world'. Value is a function of cognitive judgments. I agre...
Your thoughts aren't your statements. They are not identical. You are factually not directly conveying your thoughts. That is the nature of speech. I ...
This is not a consideration in this discussion. If it is, it is. Benefits are not relevant to whether something is the case. I don't understand how it...
Because its clearly story-telling. See? It's probable we're not disagreeing. But there's no way to ascertain some objective ethical consideration with...
