I agree, and I tried to address this when I clarified that the fundamental basis could be as simple as: the true meanings of good/bad entailing the fe...
Thanks for the article. I read it, as well as the study it linked to. The study results make a good case for some things not to do in DEI trainings. F...
You had said: "Because if there is no logic reason, there is nothing besides whim." A whim is also a product of a mind - we would not describe the ran...
Both "reasons" and "whims" are products of minds, so this suggests deism or theism. Naturalism would imply that what occurs is a product of blind, und...
Why must there be reasons? Your question can only be meaningful if existence itself is contingent. I don't think it can be contingent, because conting...
Objective morals are consistent with theism, and inconsistent with physicalism. They may not entail theism, but objective morals just existing untethe...
Numbers do not exist. They are abstractions. One-ness and two-ness (etc) exist, as properties of groups of objects. There is a logical relation betwee...
Others disagree. Here's a poll: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/05/17/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-the-workplace/ To be clear, thi...
Prejudice has not disappeared from our society, and was institutionalized in the military in the past. Acknowledging the racial and ethnic discriminat...
Mississippi bill would pay bounty hunters to catch undocumented immigrants President Trump’s administration has made it clear that deporting illegal i...
I can grasp some reasons why conservatives oppose DEI and affirmative action: they infer that it entails discrimination against their kind (white, het...
Without a God, how can there exist objective morality? That's why I brought it up, and also brought up intersubjectivity. Yes, and I disagree with mos...
That seems overly simplistic, but tell me if you think the proposition ("The Public Weal Transcends the Interest of the Individual”) is intrinsically ...
Christians rationalize this as the product of his human nature. That human nature could experience real human suffering, without which there could be ...
A couple of recent events that add to the concerns about Trump: his firing of 12 Inspectors General, and his pardoning of the Proud Boys & Oath Keeper...
If you assume morality is either objective or subjective, then one can consider the metaphysical implications. This is the basis for the argument for ...
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio calls for retribution in chilling interview with Alex Jones hours after prison release Among the criminals pardoned b...
Yet another chilling action to loosen the administrative constraints on Trump's power: Trump uses mass firing to remove independent inspectors general...
So you assume some magical sort of knowledge is metaphysically possible in order to prove there exists a being who has it. Circular reasoning. More ci...
I'll give you a few objections: knowledge = organized data; data entails encoding; encoding entails parts; Therefore omniscience would entail parts. T...
I was trying to understand what you were actually disagreeing with when you said, "I disagree about the Bishop"? I thought (mistakenly?) you were disa...
He said that in 2017 too. A few months later, tried to terminate their protected status. SCOTUS stopped it. He can just as easily change his mind this...
He absolutely said those things, on "Truth" Social. Here's the full text: The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday mor...
I try. When I've failed to do that, I've offended people needlessly. I've seen other people who've underestimated individuals because of their gender....
You identified no lie. I referred to "apparent logic' - I drew an inference. An incorrect inference is not a lie. If you think my inference was indeed...
How so? Remember that I asked specifically about all aspects of DEI, not affirmative action. When I worked for Exxon-Mobil as a supervisor I had to at...
Well, he's embraced the H-1B visa holders, so it's technically not *all* immigrants, but his intentions are broader than just pursuing undocumented im...
No doubt, but I'm curious to see if there's any deeper thought beyond the view that DEI oppresses the poor white race because it's kinda like affirmat...
Actually, because the reals and integer systems are applicable to the real world (they were developed by analyzing aspects of the real world), the ter...
Unsurprisingly, Trump has demanded an apology: "She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart," said Trump, adding that Budde didn’t mention that...
That's an unreasonal leap. Yes, your senses CAN deceive you, but that just implies your senses are fallible - not that they are completely untrustwort...
Your reasoning is correct, but I'll try to give a mathematician's perspective (I received a B.S. in math in 1976, so I'm not really a mathematician - ...
Trump Revokes Biden's Order to Lower Drug Prices for Medicare President Donald Trump has been busy rescinding Biden-era Executive Orders in his first ...
You seemed to be unhappy with the job Biden did because he failed to do these things. Because of this, I inferred that you meant those things were so ...
I found a Kaiser poll. It showed that only 40% support of Republicans for a public option, and 25% supporting medicare for all. These numbers imply li...
What makes you think it's nonsense? Is there some end-point in any liberalism, conservativism, or anything else? You overestimate the popularity of th...
A political problem for social liberalism is that there is no reachable goal. It can only ever be a direction. Biden successfully pushed the US in tha...
In the everyday use of the term, a "quantity" is always a fixed, real number (e.g. a number of liters, a number of tomatoes, a number of molecules in ...
