Ok, fiar that's clearer. My objection then goes back to, how could we know unless we assume DR? Ok, fair enough - let's then just talk about colourbli...

I went to reply to something on the first page and realised this hahaha. And unfortunately: This comment shows nothing has changed.
January 15, 2026 at 19:07
I see some skepticism about in regards to establishing anything outside of Earth. Can i put to those people: The long stretch between the wheel and th...
January 15, 2026 at 19:03
Yeah, overall I agree with your sentiment - on defamation, that's a bit nuanced - I think publishing embarrassing pictures of someone is entirely lega...

This really is a lounge thread, Athena.
January 15, 2026 at 18:57
a corpse is biological material. It is a biological body, as opposed to any other type of body. Dead matter is biological matter. That's just how it i...

That's a great point, but then I think of things like Frontiersmen and think - we'll make it work. Very sanguine, to be sure.

I have all the time in the world to point out mistakes in logical and semantic error :)
January 14, 2026 at 21:38
I don't know what you're intimating. I'm simply reporting something I've seen - feel free to elaborate :)
January 14, 2026 at 21:38
I think this is a little tortured: Humans are, apparently, more than 99% accurate at determining sex from facial features alone. It is an extremely ra...
January 14, 2026 at 21:36
Forgive me, but I think I need some clarification here. It seems to be saying that once we ascertain that errors can be made in world-directed judgeme...

I've seen several videos from prominent indigenous Greenlanders who want it annexed due to the disgusting treatment by the dutch over time. Interestin...

I've watched it several times - I'm not quite understand how this plays into the things about Kirk, though. Again, please DM if you'd like to continue...
January 14, 2026 at 19:32
That is not what a biological body means, my man. To use your "death" logic, one meaning of "biological" is simply "a substance of biological origin"....
January 14, 2026 at 19:31
The point is most people don't do this. Most people probably don't quite understand the concept. You're right, that there is an attempt to change the ...
January 14, 2026 at 19:27
Yeah definitely, those are the 'up in the air' concepts. I think, personally, that clarity is best for communication. My support for that is the unive...
January 14, 2026 at 19:24
"many" is doing a lot of lifting here, but I'm not complaining. You could be right (althought, i have an extremely hard time believing that there isn'...
January 14, 2026 at 19:14
Hmm, interesting. This, again, sorry to say, sounds like poetics. The body (including bones) are biological material. It is a biological body until it...
January 14, 2026 at 19:05
Oh, right - cool, thanks. Yeah, I get that and I agree. i think that, though, can be considered a privacy issue. Publication being the trigger, so I t...
January 14, 2026 at 19:03
I think he means 'default' in practical or historical terms (is there a serious disagreement there, rather than just an observation its anecdotal?). T...
January 14, 2026 at 19:00
Because you're not actually talking about the problem. Although, you are (imo trivially) totally correct. "red" might be in the apple, insofar as cert...
January 14, 2026 at 18:43
I think the concept of humans moving off planet is exciting, progressive and morally valuable (in the sense of morale, not morality as such). I think ...
January 14, 2026 at 18:33
It entails that you cannot experience without hte mediation of the senses. Probably, at all. This just doens't cause "indirectness" for some. But deny...
January 13, 2026 at 19:35
You have certainly made this claim, but i accept the others. I shouldn't have intimated you had. Besides this, we are just going to go in circles bitc...
January 13, 2026 at 19:24
Yeah, definitely agree here. There's some issues with his finances etc... but clearly a reasonable person in general. I'm unsure you're seeing hte pro...
January 13, 2026 at 19:21
Rachel. Dolezal. A bit quippy, but that is why. We want to know who the people around us are - I do not want to date a male, when I have intended to d...
January 13, 2026 at 19:16
Sorry, purely in terms of readability can you restate? I presume you mean people using AI to "abuse women". I can't quite see what you mean. For conte...
January 13, 2026 at 19:01
The biological body does not cease to exist at death. Your second line can apply to any singular event. I am a rape victim. I will never not be one. T...
January 13, 2026 at 18:57
Yes, that seems right - I did my best to try to say there may be fundamental issues we're not seeing the same way. Thanks for that. As I see it, it's ...
January 13, 2026 at 18:55
Would you say that's true always? I understand some "conditions" to essentially be emotions arising without any sensory input. Have I misunderstood yo...
January 13, 2026 at 01:03
Lots to think about - but just wanted to say great OP. Thanks.
January 13, 2026 at 00:59
Sure - I have several friends who are legally 'disabled' because they have weird views about the world. and so hearing certain words or phrases causes...
January 13, 2026 at 00:57
(i'm going to reply to this, then move on to your reply directly to me). Interesting. So, is your position that even if tout court perception is indir...
January 13, 2026 at 00:52
I'm unsure an article on a Ketamine clinic's website is the best source for this type of thing. But that's not a problem, because I'm aware this is tr...
January 12, 2026 at 19:17
Oh good God. LOL.
January 12, 2026 at 19:13
This is a restatement of what I've said amount to the same thing? I can't see a response to what I've said there specifically. I'm not quite sure how ...
January 12, 2026 at 19:11
Threads create a rope. You can be hung with a rope. But you might not see several threads slowly coming together. This is hte basis for plenty of lega...
January 12, 2026 at 19:09
From What I can tell, all of it. Nothing is direct description or argument for anything - it's just (admittedly, very nice and enjoyable) ways to desc...
January 12, 2026 at 19:05
There are plenty of things I care about, and in fact, obsess about, which no one has any obligation whatseover to engage with me over. People's self-i...
January 12, 2026 at 18:58
It is a contradiction in terms, but I understand the second to actually mean "The sky is blue, as far as the HUman perceptual system tends to present"...
January 12, 2026 at 18:52
Telling people the facts about their conditions has, across time and place been the singular emotionally effective approach I have ever found with 'tr...
January 12, 2026 at 18:51
Its possible OP was trying to point out how nonsensical such a statement is. But there's been nine pages since, so I don't know. What we call a 'ship'...
January 12, 2026 at 18:46
Hmm, tough one. I can't say this strikes me as 'right'. Emotions seem to come from (or at least arise in) the mind. Not being able to adequately parse...
December 23, 2025 at 23:10
I would say having surgery to appear as a (caricature, naturally) of the opposite sex is sexist pretty much by definition. I just don't think all sexi...
December 23, 2025 at 23:04
Grow up.
December 23, 2025 at 19:58
That is the standard response to being asked to challenge your own views. Particularly when evidence is presented. Not sure why.
December 23, 2025 at 19:28
1. Uhh, the claim is his personal view is that trans people are awful and shouldn't exist. This context puts paid to that egregiously stupid claim. It...
December 23, 2025 at 19:19
L2 is false (it is usual to be unique, and choosing human traits above others is arbitrary). Yep. It's not that the definition is inadequate or that '...
December 23, 2025 at 19:14
Hmm, you think so? It seems to me a threat has to exist for us to note one. Albeit, this could be memorial threat rather than imminent and so sometime...
December 23, 2025 at 19:07
Just a thanks - I've enjoyed it, and we got past the nasty stuff. Rare. Thank you!
