No argument here.

Well, it's a good thing then that I was careful to talk about degrees of behavior that happen on average and not about any strict distinctions.

Peterson gets way too much attention for saying a lot of stuff that's more slightly controversial than substantive. Haidt's theory about moral disgust...

The bill is indeed total carp.

When I disagree with about 1% of what a politician does, I usually just leave it at disagreeing. I save my God-slaying days for the really bad ones.

Depends what you mean by choice. I mean that I don't think he thought he could get the American people to understand why he would vote against them ge...

I think he thought he didn't have much of a choice. Plus, he voted for the version with the oversight committee, a clause Trump just conveniently deci...

Of course it's possible. But it may not entirely be possible to distinguish nature from nurture in that regard. We can't raise children in a sex and g...

Sorry, but you'll have to be less cryptic about that one.

Again the irony: there are indeed ad hominems in our conversation. But you won't find them in my posts.

You say this without any realization of irony, I presume?

If spam is God, then he's sitting right next to the Nigerian Prince in my trash folder. Hope they're enjoying each other's company!

If spam is now proof of God, then he truly is Satan.

So much to unpack here... IF I felt like going back in circles again... Which I don't.

Too little, too late. Donald "Pandora" Trump

I've been in agreement or near agreement with you most of the times I've read your posts. And, which is even more important, when I've disagreed with ...

Since we're posting videos about it: https://youtu.be/1LfQlYESTHg Jimmy Kimmel on the virus.

Yet another really convenient way to dismiss any and all critics. :brow:

Ohhhhh boy. I'm just gonna refer you right back to my original post in which I showed that Biden and Bernie are TIED as to who will vote for them over...

So, you're here to bequeath us all with your superior insight... How kind of you. That's called proselytizing.

Just because they sound like they could be true, doesn't mean they are. As the polling against Trump shows.... He's the most popular senator in Americ...

One last time: because people think other people are going to vote for him.

That makes no sense. So... he's not clear enough or sensible enough that you could just tell me. Gotcha. Sorry, no, I have a better reading list on my...

If you can't tell me, it can't be all that clear or "understandable."

Give me an example.

Understands WHAT? Understanding WHAT?

Wrong again. I see thought as the process. Full stop.

But as I was suggesting above (albeit in a tone of amusement, but I'll be serious now): the problem with theories that want to do away with thought in...

Actually, he says:

A couple of problems here: If your entire counter argument boils down to "you're confused," then it's not only weirdly presumptive, it's pointless. Co...

Thought is mental/brain activity with cognitive content. So is understanding. So is empathy and humility. To phrase it differently, once you're not ju...

Since understanding is a kind of thought, this is nonsensical.

A) if the difference falls within the margin of error, then it's not really sensible to build any theories around it. B) see my previous post.

It's a whoke The Emperor Has No Clothes thing. The news has been working hard to sell us the theory that Biden is more electible, and that voting for ...

"He's so crazy it might just work!" VS "I feel bad for the tired, weak old guy who can't remember how he started a sentence by the time he gets to the...

Trump may be insane, but he doesn't have dementia.

Biden has an electibilty problem list as long as my arm. :rofl: Dementia, for one.

Back to talking about Sanders: There's been a lot of general blah di blah in the news about how Biden versus Sanders compares regarding electibility a...

Somehow I'm not surprised.

Well, that's your business then. I've proved my point. I can't do more than lead the stubborn mule to water.

Since we are using Wikipedia now: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche%27s_views_on_women Some biographical context: https://amp-thegua...

"Mensch" only gets translated as "man" when "man" is erroneously and outdatedly meant to stand for "human." It's as absurd as claiming "human" means "...

I've explained the proper translation of Mensch. Feel free to Google it if you don't trust the bilingual, native German speaker (that would be me). Ni...

You can turn that off, just fyi.

Since that would be inaccurate, not really. For example, despite having many controversial views on women's potential, he did talk about it. So, no he...

:rofl: I especially appreciate your translation of Yiddish into Spanglish.

Nietzsche is famous for having strongly mixed opinions on women and their potential. So, based on that and on his particular, and for the time uncommo...

As a German speaker, let me point out that he did specifically call it the "Übermensch" and not "Übermann." Mensch is human and Mann is man in German....

Oh, I see. I take back my snark then :wink: For future reference, "man" means human male. An antiquated use is to use it to refer to all humans (and s...

I mean your overman is stuck in antiquated diction.
