My previous was a little too depressing, as i was only thinking of it in terms of "getting justice". Things similar to what you have described have ha...
Well, it seems like in that kind of a situation (being accused of something falsely) means there is no legal recourse without some evidence of the bus...
there aren't any gaurantees you won't become jaded, it happens for all sorts of different reasons. I didn't answer your question because i don't under...
You can't really dish out punishment without either committing some crime, or getting some collective approval that someone committed a wrong against ...
and for my ethics, i just have to accept transgendered people the way they are, with their gender essentialism, until they fail to respect my preferen...
To me this is correct, even though the political left usually refuses to see things this way as it would unravel their worldview. The midwest is diffe...
The part that makes it fun, at least for me, is the ambiguity. Otherwise, i wouldnt read his books themselves, but i would leave it up to some academi...
Of course, the source of my disagreement was praxis trying to argue that my take on Geneaology of morality was false, and that his edited version was ...
i think artificial intelligence could kill everyone like in the terminator series, but other than that it's an extension of the kinds of technology we...
sure, but with preaching, it's always about what the person means: the Nietzsche morality he was using to replace christian thinking is pretty far fro...
, i accept that and will let it stand because a much bigger part of his critique was slave moraliry (the inversion of master morality), because of how...
that's an excellent point that gender itself is a form of sexism: however, the laws to discriminate only apply to jobs and services, and the discrimin...
So you're advocating a progressive conservatism? I am very sympathetic, yet that's basically what gets achieved by clashes in ideology. The issue with...
Uh, im going to have cry fowl on this: when i was a teenager, i liked girls...so sometimes i would say stuff like "sweetheart" to them with sexual ove...
this is a pretty interesting point; i remember in christian school the logic was that "Jesus fulfilled the word of God", but seems pretty empty, no? W...
it's really hard to know what went through the minds of people who wrote ancient documents, but the old testament was likely part of some ruling class...
the biggest issue is not that you are wrong, but the same can be said in reverse. For example, the racist trope about african americans being lazy cam...
i think you're conflating and assuming way too much. Who is the ultimate judge of "correct"? Here's a John Cage quote to further elaborate on what i'm...
or in other words, you're in a state of relative inertia: you know getting out would be hard, you know the charge isn't that severe (and don't want th...
for example (just sharing my experiences), it's excellent for verifying claims from random internet users (it immediately calls out their BS) and help...
yes, and overtime you can kinda intuit accuracy of what it's telling you based on subject matter and topic. For example, it's pretty much 100% accurat...
i can't comment on what's best for anyone else here, but i find the most productive way to use it is using it for very specific purposes, rather than ...
It was actually Nietzsche who argued this in "Geaneology of Morality", that "the good people" are just the powerful imposing what is "good" on the bas...
Okay, for me the phrasing instead would be "subjectivist", which states moral truths exist, but ONLY subjectively. So that still means i can use moral...
You see, this another i had with your previous discussion: anti-realism is not a coherent perspective, it's just a means of labeling a position one fi...
however, i think this would be too self-limiting, to think of this in absolute terms: it's rather easy to "punch up" in some circumstances, it doesn't...
I'm glad you responded to the show I mentioned. I even remember his name...Chiri. Quite a silly philosopher character, i am assuming the moral is a ja...
this is good to know, because i have several cats and abhor the thought of any of them drinking anti-freeze. Interestingly enough, cats do not like be...
i'm wondering what Plato was basing this on: the book I read on Protagoras was "The Greek Sophists" by John Dillon (also published by Penguin). It's n...
that is very true: morality is ultimately a "should". I personally, as "ProtagoranSocratist" do not really have strong opinions on morality. I think h...
And this takes me back to what i was originally was criticizing: a lot more than "the human body" is encoded in our DNA (another example is the growth...
I agree with the basic premise that morality is a cooperation tool. However, this seems false and dangerous: I think here we risk confusing "specific ...
Okay, i get where you're coming from now, but Ayn Rand posited new ethics based on her irrational arguments relating to capitalism ("self-reliant stre...
No, i was saying that i highly doubt any teacher beyond an elementary school teacher would accept "we should all be selfish" as an argument on a philo...
no, read what you quoted again tobacco is like coffee, it's a mental stimulant: so it's not surprising it would have benefits for schizophrenics becau...
I disagree, because the blunt framing: "-ethics is wholly bunked and we should just act selfishly" is confused and hypocritical moral preaching. The t...
sorry, my other response got posted prematurely: i hit enter and it posted, but i was just using it to make a new paragraph. It probably has something...
But who is saying that nothing is good or bad in any sense? Are you maybe hinting that someone was implying it here? Are you hinting that Nietzsche an...
I tried SSRIs a long time ago, but the best positive effect they had for me was i felt a little calmer and smoothed out. There were multiple side effe...
Ha, you've pulled Nietzsche: each of these ideas stand on their own in a way, and they do relate to truth and identity. You've done a pretty good job ...
Alright, this is a much more interesting and workable response. One can extrapolate a moral truth from the people they know, and even if a society vio...
Okay, here's how i look at it: there's informal philosophy. This is anything: "What is life"? And the there's formal philosophy, related to specific t...
Seems like pretty blatant emotional manipulation to me: you start by insinuating that moral truths are separate from human opinion: then you try your ...
that's usually what the professionals recommend, there are those who believe that the medications may have more of a placebo effect than a "correction...
