Terrapin Station

No, I didn't. It's so frustrating that I can't meet you in person or at least talk to you on the phone, say, as that would give me a better insight in...

This is why I won't write longer posts. People can't read five words and understand them.

Why can't you read? I didn't write what you're strawmanning there.

This bears no resemblance to what I'd do, and I've described what I'd do many times, including on this site.

I keep getting the impression that people here have basically zero interaction with the real, practical world. Why would you think that I'm talking ab...

If the sensory stimuli are intense (loud, strong, etc.) and persistently permeating your abode during a time that you need to sleep, or in a manner th...

Which I don't agree with, obviously. And they're not factual dangers, of course, because there is no such thing. It depends on what one considers a pr...

No. But note that I'd not have a capitalist system in the first place. I'd have a socialist system, which also wouldn't be based on money in any tradi...

I'll take the orthodoxy I agree with that you can't dissent from. ;-) That way we don't have to worry about people making hate speech laws and such.

My views are often way, way, out in left field compared to most folks' views. It's no easier to change anything I disagree with in a democracy. There ...

I didn't address his post yet, but I don't think that, either. At any rate, I don't have a problem with authoritarian regimes in principle. I don't ha...

To which I already said, "This is the game where we wonder if we can interpret everything in some particular way, regardless of how anyone else is thi...

So I draw this symbol: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/39-Malphas.png/100px-39-Malphas.png And I tell you that in the "bar" ...

No.

(1) How am I supposed to know what you consider relevant or not, since you're really asking for that--a difference that you would consider relevant (a...

Yeah, that's a can of worms we didn't get into--just what counts as hate speech? In some posts in the thread, people have already even endorsed consid...

Yes. In general, my disposition is that of a minarchist libertarian. (It's just that I don't agree with other U.S. party-styled Libertarians (minarchi...

My arguments are what I think. Whether you talk about them to me or with others or just think about them to yourself, you have to know what I'd say to...

Sure, so I have no interest in a conversation the way you're going about it. I guess you're not that interested in what I think, in which case don't b...

You're asking me what I think the difference is. I gave info for this already. What did I say?

What did I say the difference was?

The whole issue with the "free" part is whether you really have different options or not. Whether you can really make a choice, including seemingly ar...

It's not that speech can't have an effect on others. It's that it can't be shown to force them to perform particular actions.

But I'm not using a cost/benefit analysis approach. Again, you can't read any preference as a cost/benefit approach. Any moral stance (as well as stan...

Not necessarily as benefits, but it's too much quibbling to argue about that. So yes. There's no "cost" to consider. I didn't say anything like that. ...

The problem is that he got mucous all over it while reading it out loud, and now it's illegible.

A cost-benefit analysis requires that someone thinks of something in terms of comparative costs versus benefits. Otherwise this is the game where we w...

Nope. Not thinking about it in that way at all. Again, I said nothing about "costs," and having a preference (which is what feeling that x is more des...

Moral stances are ways that we (individually) feel about interpersonal behavior that we (again individually) consider to be more significant than etiq...

Not only are you ignoring that cost-benefits analyses are just something we're making up, where there's no correct answer, because there are no factua...

What makes you a moron here is that you think that particular ethical stances have anything to do with intelligence.

You can not possibly be that much of a moron. Seriously.

Isaac, S, and others here are just too much of a moron for me to bother with.

lol

lol now 'yes" I'm just going back to laughing at you. Try being honest/not crazy and maybe I'll give you more than that.

Isaac claimed there was a correlation between saying that phrase and violence, and worse, he did it in the context of someone saying that phrase satir...

All it amounts to is, "I like this enough that I'm not going to bother trying to ban/regulate it, but I don't like this, so I will try to ban/regulate...

I've already quoted it a couple times. In this post: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/320905 you wrote, "There's a correlation betwee...

So if a lot of people agree to how it's being made up, then it's good to go?

Give an example. Quote something that you think amounts to it.

If it's in a textbook, there would be an instance of a psychologist saying it. I'm not asking you, by the way, for a comment in the vein of "the socia...

I was asking about that specific phrase. So if there's nothing about that specific phrase, how about picking any specific utterances that there's a co...

How is the "cost-benefit" analysis not simply something that you're making up? You're not claiming that there are objective benefits, are you?

I'm not asking you anything about "generally the case"--again, you're either being stupid or dishonest here. I'm asking you to just show me one instan...

All I asked you was where in that paper anyone was claiming that hate speech causes violence. I don't care what the background of it is. Can you find ...

Jesus Christ are you stupid. Whether someone likes something is necessarily subjective.

What kind of friggin moron do you need to be to believe that he's thinking that anyone is suggesting to ban all speech? lol At any rate, coming across...

By the way, why are you linking to papers such as "Attitudes in the Social Context: The Impact of Social Network Composition on Individual-Level Attit...

Which paper talked about the phrase "Gas the Jews"?
