From an antinatalist's perspective, all supporters of procreation support bringing both known, unknown, un-consented amounts of harm to people born in...
Granted, which is why I answered to my best for that limited part of the debate and it was tacitly recognized that we were moving to a new “category?”...
Good point. I don’t have much to add to that except one can still try to go back to why bomb at all and I think that’s where my analogy in the last po...
I think that these questions are essentially handled in this post so let's move forward from here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/8...
So again, I am just going back to the very original framing of butchery up close versus from a bombing. There is an extra de-humanization of doing som...
The original question was whether there is an aspect of killing up close that has some ethical dilemma dimension to it, and I added the affirmative an...
I mean I think you can tease out the moral standard there. If the bomber WANTS to inflict maximum damage or his superior does it’s just as morally cul...
I gave context after but just sticking to the first paragraph, I’m sticking to that response. I don’t think the idea that dropping bombs being more sc...
I think in this hypothetical scenario, there actually is something a bit more bad/evil in face-to-face butchering/burning/maiming someone than doing i...
I am not using "panpsychism" in such a way. I am using it in its usual sense that "experientialness" is spread across matter in some way (whether thro...
I stand by my original response to this. Don’t say “philosophers”, pick out what school of thought you are referencing, quote them or at least charita...
When you setup a straw man, you can paint anything in any way you want and use aphorisms to knock it down like you’re the anti-hero messiah :roll:. Th...
That's a red herring and strawman. I did not question a Palestinian state (right of return is trickier but in theory some compensation makes sense). R...
I'm sorry, whatever ends you're going for, that's evil on the face of it. It's sad you support it. I am bracketing the issue to this. You can justifia...
I think if the Arab nations can muster enough courage and temper their "all-or-nothing" tendencies, MAYBE they can be part of a solution. It would be ...
Ideally, that also means that Palestine would be an Arab/Muslim-oriented government that respects the rights of its minority citizens (Christian, Jewi...
And which is why I said they should have voted Netanyahu's fascist ass out a long time ago. Perhaps, perhaps. But I do believe sane minds can resolve ...
What do I expect from Palestinians? Not supporting terrorist groups that funnel money into violent barbaric means of getting what they want. They trie...
And again, my main response to this ludicrous hemming and hawing in this justifying of Hamas is: And I can't see how you can look at that same documen...
I just bid you read my last post on that argument. You’re also contradicting yourself about you supposedly not supporting Hamas. Also other posters on...
I think that is simplifying the history of the whole conflict. If Israel is not problematic, then every concession Israel made towards its founding wo...
A vague reference couched in absolutist terms of Jordan to Mediterranean all of a sudden means Hamas is for two states? Its actions say otherwise. And...
You implied and explicitly said on many posts that Hamas has a legitimate form of how it conducts itself. You tried saying how it's charter is cuddly-...
I wonder if people's country of origin have a lot to shape the way they view these things, based especially on what their circumstances in WW2. Finlan...
That’s moral equivocating two unrelated things. You are essentially advocating that if you feel jaded over a historical land dispute, you are justifie...
Panpsychism means that there is some sort of experiential-ness to matter/energy at some level (where these "occasions of experience" inhere or at what...
So I was asking the serious question: How many behaviors makes a feeling? And no one cared about that, and it's crucial. Notice how the article I refe...
What was it do you think that made Viking and Mongol warriors okay with being "horror-ible"? Was it that the horror inflicted terror? Purported quote ...
No one cares about that last post? :D. I really meant it seriously. It seems like some people think that magically behavioral processes at some dividi...
Morally speaking it’s wrong to reward the barbarity that Hamas did. Pointing to collateral damage in response or the whole sidelining of the two state...
I was responding to this below, not the article: The reason I said that is, I know chimps go to war with other tribes. I would have to see any evidenc...
What is a word but an idea? It can be a jumping off point to explore deeper meanings contained in its potential. I can see the use of the distinction ...
You seemed to admit that ape hierarchy is an example of this. How it is that the alpha male dominates by intimidation and alliances, whilst forming al...
I think being complex beings, we are going to have complex responses. We have the ability for deep compassion and deep rage and horrific acts. Were th...
What are you using as definition of "consciousness" if not some form of "awareness" or "experience" or "point of view"? For example, the insect's "exp...
When was it ever not defined as some "interiority"? You can define whatever word you want it to be, but for the purposes I have been using it, it is s...
Well, rather it was trying to point out that computer programs are so far, an example where adding degree to algorithms, functions, signals, and netwo...
Here is this article: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0705555104#:~:text=Like%20humans%2C%20chimpanzees%20retaliate%20against,and%20are%20theref...
I don’t like your rants against antinatalism, but this is a good topic. As far as I’ve seen in documentaries, common chimps form alliances that are ve...
