My friends have never told me this. People I don't know, have told me this. Such as people on this forum, or people I talk to on my live stream. You a...
Do you not understand the difference between what one person is trying to achieve, versus, what they are being perceived to try to achieve? What I am ...
If we are going to have a back n' forth, you should at least respond to my questions as well. So to ask my question again, here it is. In the same way...
This may help you. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom An axiom is a concept in logic. It is a statement which is accepted without question, and w...
Why is this even relevant? You have stated that axioms are both based on preference and NOT based on preference. This seems to be a contradiction, in ...
Agreed, but it works the other way as well. Person A may assume Person B is on their high horse, when in fact Person B is justified in doing so. Perso...
I actually told you multiple times, this is not what I am doing. You are incorrectly assuming I am trying to position myself as superior to somebody e...
This is the 2nd or 3rd time you have ignored my analogy completely. And I will type it again. As I have pointed out with my child molester analogy, do...
Why are you putting "higher importance" on the needs of humans, but not on the needs of non-human animals (such as pigs, goats, sheep, cows, chickens,...
You seemed to have quoted the only non-important part of everything I said to you. Let's back up a bit before you get more side-tracked. You: "You do ...
Not going to address anything beyond this until you address this point. Are you saying that anything which serves a useful purpose is morally permissi...
Similarly, you can do the same with ethics. To put it in your terms, you do NOT have to accept the axioms as true, but you are operating with them as ...
Then correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed like this is what you were implying. This is what the line of reasoning seemed to be. I stated: Many syst...
Few problems here. 1. Explain why molestation is abhorrent but the contriubtion to animal rape, torture and slaughter is not. 2. Just because somethin...
Whether you want to say understandability, conceivability, or livability, doesn't matter. These are still things you need to value before you can say ...
And just to be clear, these "rules" I am referring to at the base of the systems, are called Axioms. You cannot "prove" an axiom is right, correct or ...
I think I mostly agree with what you are saying, but maybe I didn't ask my question properly initially. For moral questions, you seem to say that all ...
This is mostly to Terrapin, since Dingo thinks he is cool by announcing he doesn't have the patience to "educate" someone on ethics in a philosophy fo...
And as I have pointed out with my child molester analogy, do you think it is better to point out what is wrong about the actions committed by the chil...
Can you tell me exactly which word(s) I am equivocating here? If you want to make a broad view of "the molestation of children is never necessary", I ...
Would you say the same thing if I scolded a child molester or rapist? I am superior to a rapist, and if had to create a post in a philosophy forum abo...
Having a subjective basis for morality is separate from how your normative ethics work. I can agree that at the metaethcal level, moral values are com...
Why would you conclude that I am not interested in animals? By that logic, you should say I am not interested in humans as well, correct? I am interes...
This is the point I have been trying to address with Terrapin for a while now. He seems to be only addressing ethics from a meta perspective, without ...
Why would you support a rape victim? And what is your own disposition about rape? You are again, going all the way down to the metaethical perspective...
I assume you apply the same logic to mentally disabled people, who have the same intelligence level as animals. (depending on how far they are on the ...
I think I got you confused with somebody else. I sometimes lose track of who I am talking to, as I didn't realize you were also Vegan. Nonetheless, I ...
How are my ethics ignoring a learning curve? We are a selfish species who was worse in the past, but we are still bad in the present day. . You are, a...
Again, how would you respond to your daughter/friend/family member who has just been raped. Would you be supportive? Or would you say "if he felt righ...
I've never ignored those facts. Matter of fact, I actually acknowledged the fact that ethics are derived from a subjective perspective, at the metaeth...
Doesn't matter. If I created an artificial vagina that men could buy to deter them from raping women, would you accept their reasoning if they told yo...
It can also be as follows: - Some humans should not be raped. - Other humans could be raped. - I rape black people. Do you accept that as well? Also, ...
Is metaethics the only thing you understand about ethics? And I am not asking in a rude way, because I actually want to know. Do you understand there ...
How would you answer that question for yourself? The flyswatter is not a predator. It is a weapon/tool used by a predator (human). The human could let...
You seem to be very confused here. Let's back track a bit... You first said it is clear that humans are equal, and it is not the same for animals, hen...
Slavery with humans is on another level than slavery with animals, why? Both humans and animals (cows/chickens/pigs) can experience pain. Both can suf...
Not much, as it is still in the research & development stage. Right now, there are plant based "burgers" out there, such as Beyond Meat or The Impossi...
No, because they are caring for the child who has special needs. This is the opposite of unethical. If our dominion over animals was anything remotely...
That's irrelevant to the point. Years ago, black people were believed to NOT have free-will as part of the equality package. This meant that, LIKE ani...
You keep getting hung up on synthetics, when I have already explained to you before what I meant by "justification". For you, I will refrain from usin...
We also share genes with bacteria, but I wouldn't say that matters in the realm of moral actions. I asked if plants have a brain to process pain. To p...
Will to live = Does not want to die. Deer in the wild, flee from danger. A zebra runs away from a lion so it does not get eaten. It has a will to live...
You were asked to sign-in due to an age limitation, as YouTube wants to make sure you're old enough to watch that graphic material. Do plants have a n...
What is the most effective way to share an understanding of how not to rape? Or how not to steal? Or how not to kill a child? It's quite simple. Recog...
Would you accept "laziness" as a justification to harm another human or animal? - I am lazy, therefore I own a human slave to do the hard work for me....
And by the same "utility" standards, could I not justify slavery by saying "Some humans are bred into slavery (black people), some for companionship (...
