That’s akin to what I am saying here: I see both of these as an example of doing precisely what Antony is asking for here: The means to see what the p...
“What is at stake.” My own assumptions are at stake, and I might find my current conclusions are incoherent, unsound, factually inaccurate. “What the ...
So let’s say religion is concerned with supporting disadvantaged communities, those communities being people born on earth. Religion should see us all...
That’s why I hoped you would start the interests/criteria method you propose (and which sounds good to me). “Interests there could be in changing.” So...
That is interesting. It is like a new religion, and has been embraced by Christian and Jewish leaders and congregations. Ok, I’ll go first. 1. All peo...
I agree. If I say “I know nothing about brain surgery” I am exaggerating the fact that I know very little. If I knew absolutely nothing about it, I co...
I meant trans promotion had taken over bud light promotion. It wasn’t clearly stated. But not too important. @"praxis" is kind of running with it. It ...
I’m not exactly sure if you are asking this of the woke or anti-woke ideologue. One could say that Bud Light using a trans spokesperson was an act of ...
:up: That makes sense it has to be the case. I still think it is worth considering why such pluralist sources such as CT and post-modernism, vastly le...
Sounds like you are saying fruitful discussion needs to first level set the playing field. Bring all the assumptions to the surface. Or that there is ...
Do you think there is something internal to Critical Theory that would adjudicate between these many divergent views? Can CT tell us whether Rorty or ...
I wouldn’t say “even wokeness” - I would say clearly wokeness is a money maker. It is highly funded, lobbied, commercialized, packaged, tee-shirted, g...
I offered it as an example of how I reason. Maybe you personally don’t take it as a sign of me being asleep and unaware, but generally, people who tal...
I appreciate the recognition that I could feel disrespected. A gesture of respect would have worked too, but telling me what you don’t mean by your di...
I agree with you fully about persons. Each of us are worth the effort to be seen and taken as unique and individual persons. Period. I also think we d...
Is that a way of saying you can be woke, but I wouldn’t know it? Just like I can be anti-woke and not even know what that means? You could just talk t...
That seems straight out of Hume to me. And I see his point. But water mixed with cooling temperature followed by its becoming frozen water or ice… May...
You got me. You said anti-woke means asleep and unaware. I guess as analogously (because I mange to wake up, and navigate the city streets). Or what e...
That is my experience too. Anti-woke people who want to discuss these issues with the other side have to be practiced in tolerance and always looking ...
I guess part of my point is that neither side will hear the other, certainly not hear arguments against their own position coming from the other, unle...
I missed it. Through the lens of wokeness - probably exactly like you did. Maybe add homophobia to the analysis. I don’t know if bud light is sold at ...
Hence “awoken”. But your analysis of why you think the “anti-woke” didn’t like what Budweiser was doing is not precise. I don’t think it was unconscio...
I agree with that. I don’t know how best to characterize the anti-woke. It’s like a tradition-first crowd. It’s not that they are pro-badness conducte...
Yes. Although I think @"AmadeusD" was right to say we are somewhere in the middle of this struggle. Despite the current rebuke of wokeness, all kinds ...
Interesting theological/philosophical topic. Mind/body distinction does seem a naively practical way of talking about what a human being is. We need t...
I agree. The relativity that would support valuing diversity, undermines the absolutivity necessary to support equity. To be diverse, inequality must ...
Mind itself is just as difficult to define. And here we wondering about mind to mind causation. How can we not say more after 3,000 years of trying? E...
The ideological / affective distinction is really good to note. Wokism turns legitimate individual rights concerns of safety, recognition and unjust e...
Through the medium of words (physical objects), is this post of yours “causally” linked to your mental state? And for me, does my mental state cause m...
I don’t have a unique opinion. We need to be practical. Realistic. There are guns. Why would anyone want only one group to have them? The only gun con...
So are you saying @"Bob Ross" basically has no skin in the OT/Biblical revelation game? Bob has a conception of God. This conception of God happens to...
The Christian narrative is a response to a particular human narrative. Christ is supposed to be God becoming a human being, and supposedly for the sak...
I think that is right in the sense that, in order to see what the artist is showing, it often helps to know what the artist intended to show. But I wo...
Agree. If someone understand sin only from the outside, as an infraction about which some external judge imposes a sentence, they will not understand ...
True. I was imagining being in the whole room with the blue wall. The blue wall is not just a blue wall (or maybe not even a wall) - it is in a corner...
I haven’t responded in a while because I’m trying to shorten this. It seems impossible to make this simple and make it satisfactory. 1. I think it is ...
It’s hard to have a discussion with a rock. Especially when the rock carries a slogan on it like: “Argument is irrelevant” “Belief is irrational” Furt...
The message of Jesus. Let’s say you don’t speak or write Chinese but you have a question about something written in Chinese. Do you think you will get...
So there is something intangible, or non-physical, about the contents of conscious experience, and it is within this intangible something, that purpos...
How does a person who expects a respectful exchange of information ask a question like this? How does a person who has survived life beyond childhood ...
Doesn’t it matter why we are asking? What purpose will the answer serve? If you are tallying the number of paintings, drawings and sculptures owned by...
How locally? Just for you, in your own head so to speak, or how wide can the local go, and why do you think that? (Aren’t all humans on earth througho...
:up: However, this desire for terms beforehand only arises after the conversation has already started (something Banno always points out). So it seems...
Sure. I agree. I won’t speak for you, but I tried and failed. That makes me one of the others I guess, who agree with your application of ‘better’ to ...
?? How nuh? You have to really want to disagree with me to find these disagree. You are talking about a view from nowhere in particular. A view from a...
