Complaining and conspiracy theories are the bread and butter this President was raised and finished on... We're about to endure weeks and months of Tr...
What's worse, the crime of bribery or the fact that the media is covering it up (yet we still somehow all know about it)...? Didn't trump try and make...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE1LORNwA8E Trump riffing live at a rally... I'm just gonna watch it dispassionately to purge what remains of my polit...
Comon now, even just a passing whiff of this argument reveals its stink: "Intense belief must be backed by equally sufficient evidence"... Setting asi...
On second thought, it's totally explicable: Both of them are spineless attention-seeking homunculi who will do, say, and dance through any feces-based...
Am I wrong to wonder if Trump even has Covid to begin with? Didn't we only really get information stating "Trump tested positive for Covid"? How many ...
Trump's nasty and often semi-coherent rambling is practically unchallenged, and Biden is mostly just vacillating between silence, anger, and saying "h...
I.Q doesn't cause intelligent behaviour, intelligent behaviour is itself what I.Q tries to measure. In other words, I.Q is a measurement of behaviour....
To be specific, it's the fear of getting caught. We don't need to analyze how police reduce crime so long as we agree that's one of their intended fun...
Are police given less leeway? Most of the anti-brutality protests which have happened in the last decade began with a reaction to police getting away ...
Sorry for not attending the thread more quickly, but I have been busy of late (and I also wanted to leave time for more input). Enforcing the law is t...
I agree, it's a broad failure of many parts within the system. Police are supposedly trained on how to escalate and de-escalate, but we're seeing the ...
Police safety for utility is the traditional argument used, but it defeats the main purpose of police in the first place, which is to protect civilian...
This is absolutely right. High police performance should reduce crime, and reduced crime should result in fewer needed police. I don't know how repres...
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts... Protestors should get 10 years in prison.' Be honest: if Obama had said this, you would be advocating...
I know right? Coronavirus was a complete hoax just like Donald said. The 100,000 dead are the fault of democrats. Not at all exacerbated by the unbrid...
Has anyone ever seen the T.V show "Lost"? Or really any reality-esque show that persists for an unfortunate number of seasons? One of the fundamental ...
Obama is to blame. He left the Trump administration with no pre-existing plan for violently massaging piss and shit into the root and stem of every po...
Random question that I'm not sure is related to the thread: What's worse: Someone who breaks into your house with the motivation of stealing your tele...
Using very broad and vague terms that are borrowed from reflections on complex systems, thought experiments actually represent a very interesting and ...
I like to use plausible (or sometimes implausible) thought experiments to either search for or convey exceptions to rules. It's basically like applyin...
What should we call this new evil you have described? "Battered voter syndrome"? Let me just check and make sure that this term is not already coined....
The only thing I don't understand is why he didn't prepare some food for himself? Perhaps he just didn't want to live in a world without his wife... W...
Depends on whether you don't want immigrants because they might be brown, or not. As Streetlight pointed out, this attitude is a bit hypocritical. If ...
What did the reanimated corpse Rene Descartes say when asked if he was conscious? I zom, therefore I be! On a serious note, I'm inclined to agree with...
https://i.imgur.com/mYq31xi.png Ah yes, the classic "deploy the military to shoot at civilian looters in the name of a man killed by police" tactic. D...
If you left my original text intact and merely added editorialized trimmings of your own, then I wouldn't much mind actually... Even if you decorated ...
How do you get all that from a misinformation warning? The president threatens to shut down twitter (apparently, but I'm too lazy to check) because th...
It's hard to describe why though. It's like a literary grotesquerie. It's like being punched in the brain. I haven't read nearly all of them; just fli...
Standards pulled from one's ass can be satisfied in the same manner. Is your argument that nobody has ever signaled virtue for the positive social san...
Statistical inference. When someone is too offended on behalf of a fashionable cause that doesn't affect them, there's medium to high correlation with...
You're restating your opinion, sure, but I'm just holding you to the same standard you held me to in your criticism of my response to the thread. What...
Why is it that your standard of evidence requires me to fetch ten bona fide philosophies or philosophers, while it allows you to just quote yourself t...
It would depend on the context now wouldn't it? Do you want a hypothetical example of why it might be obvious that someone is virtue signaling? A real...
I didn't realize that the grand pontiff had to swear an oath of celibosophy... You asked for a list of philosophies that don't reason what they say......
Yea, @"Bitter Crank"! Other people proclaiming how virtuous they are makes you relatively less virtuous by comparison... You must therefore question y...
List of religions and spiritual traditions. https://cdnph.upi.com/svc/sv/upi/2411443089279/2015/1/ca125b0a55eb6a557caa0f88f837677e/Pope-Francis-addres...
And why have you not reasoned why philosophy reasons what it says? (I think you mean philosophy employs reason (i.e: it's logical.rational). However, ...
They say that it's a love of knowledge, but I suspect it's rather a love of articulation and pontification. To wonder, to explore, to learn, and to ca...
