"Accept" is the word we commonly use. But since we are here in this thread discussing it, you truly don't believe that resigning is accepting, right? ...
With understanding comes acceptance. Acceptance can never happen without understanding. Resignation is as what you mused above -- one has no choice or...
Btw, when we ascribe natural feelings to animals, do not overthink it. Empathy, for example, is not a logically-derived moral feeling. When I say anim...
Because you're mixing narratives. Power and corruption are both social and political terms. Why mix it with the point you're trying to make in the fir...
Alright. Let's get serious then. First, you assume that implicit in our moral system, that is, if we believe we have a moral system, implicit in this ...
How did you come up with this conclusion? Read your question below again, please. Did I say there's no morality? Do not generalize. I said none -- bec...
None. There was no deliberation or rationalization that took place when humans first started eating other animals for food. There was no justification...
Yeah, my comment was rather charitable regarding the topic here. But, I already made a remark regarding the limitation of that particular test. The te...

Yes -- through a literary movement, a strong one. Pen is mightier than a sword type of battle. Yes, I am aware that this was the norm in the past -- g...
Yes, the empirical scientific school of thought is criticized for this. There are principles outside of perception that are needed if the scientific m...
Empirical science which puts sensation and observation on a pedestal. Which, according to critics, is done to the detriment of things outside of our p...
Yes, I agree with the consequences -- but these negative effects of "dumb" machines are all across the board. For example, ergonomically friendly equi...
Give it more tweaks and it should have that capability. Admittedly, some machines perform ultra complex operations, like the automatic vehicles. The f...
There are no stupid machines, only insufficient ones. There is no opposite of "smart" machines. There was a time when machines at point-of-sale would ...
