The adopted children that already exists are still evaluated under the idea of probability of harm in the future. It becomes an irrelevant factor if t...
Just out of the blue, my eyes hurt, can we introduce some kind of dark mode to this forum? Or two for different reading conditions? Dark mode, grey mo...
It's important to not make a poisoning the well or strawman here. By calling others "totalitarian" you are labeling them and isn't engaging in the phi...
Why? Isn't this just a form of human arrogance, positioning us (because we are conscious), at some center of the stage, when nothing points to our exi...
This is already a thesis by Hugh LaFollette from 1980 Licensing Parents I support the idea for a license for parents on the simple fact that we have l...
Nothing needs to be framed in the context of this discussion. Nothing that remotely connects to free will, i.e our awareness of breaking causality thr...
For starters all evidence in physics and biology. There's nothing that breaks causality and entropy in our physical reality and saying that our consci...
It seems he's defending an attempt to overthrow the government and disregard democracy in order to whitewash Trump's connection to it. Has this thread...
I focus on what type of determinism that is most likely. Compatibilism is in my view a sign of human arrogance over the forces of reality. A form of r...
Our "human nature" is mainly referring to those similarities. As I described we can look for similarities that exists between cultures, that transcend...
You are assuming a compatibilist free will as truth here. I'm saying there's no such thing. The "will to align yourself to your internal logic" which ...
Morality is a human invented concept that tries to set parameters around behavior and define what is good or bad for us. It can't be universal since y...
No one has free will. Doesn't matter how people try to phrase things, we're not detached entities from the universe in which we exist. Everything in t...
We wouldn't need to as humans philosophizing about our morality is philosophizing about ourselves. There's no point in imagining a species other than ...
Moral thinking differs, but there are commonalities rooted in emotions. And we do indeed attach morality to the fact that we have emotions. We do not ...
Morals can't be universal since they're essentially tied to the being of humans. But being so, we could argue that there are commonalities in how we p...
No, the reason is that people cannot cope with the fact that we don't have free will. It's an existential threat to their very experience of being. It...
Are you interested in fighting someone's theories or are you interested in learning new perspectives? A core tenet of philosophy is the ability to be ...
I don't think it has to do with stupidity at all. It's mostly on the same level as some plaque saying "Carpe Diem", a pop culture psychology meme. It'...
Stupidity is extreme bias. Bias towards a specific thing that overtakes the ability to critically judge it in context. Bias towards emotion, bias towa...
This is just nonsense and ignorant of what I wrote. Arguments for improving a democratic system that push for more rights for the people and better pr...
Didn't write anything like that, my proposal was changes to the system to protect people even more, especially from corrupt politicians, and refining ...
Lies and disinformation is not the same as information "you do not like". You obviously didn't read what I wrote, ignored or doesn't care. You're just...
Does not equal the system perfect or better than other democracies with far less corruption and problems. It is also a system that works when people u...
By creating the replacement and working for replacing the constitution rather than removal. That way, the replacement constitution can be worked on by...
It is very telling of how bad the US democracy is built if Trump is sentenced and he still wins an election. The US democratic system is just a patch ...
That implies that the methods are neutral, which they aren't. And it says a lot about the people using the methods. And narratives are all around us, ...
No, that's not what I meant. If narratives are something that we can never be without, then the narratives to shape the world by should always be the ...
Fair enough, but maybe my mind didn't even think about that in my second language of writing in a post where my intention was to make my point as clea...
I agree, although this point is somewhat self-contradictory in that you say people have agency, but then point out that we need a new mainstream that ...
We are all slaves to narratives. To say otherwise is to be blind towards biases. The key is how well we know our shackles and how well we can act agai...
This is the problem with your counter argument. It's not about disagreement, it's about what functions as a foundation for knowledge and opinions. If ...
Your point being? It seems you didn't care to understand the point I'm making. We can criticize them for this behavior, but their behavior and handlin...
The best outcome to push back against Trumpism and the degeneracy of these people would be if he completely and openly loses it and acts out his menta...
The world has gotten so good today that even among the problems we are currently facing, people are still arguing about irrelevant bullshit rather tha...
Yes, there's an epistemic problem to all of this. I'm somewhat knowledgeable about the implications for a number of theories in relativity physics, qu...
I will add speculations. In zero dimensions there would be no where or when. So a when and a where can only be defined and begin when the four dimensi...
Before conceiving a P-Zombie we must prove that the opposite, in lack of a better term, conscious human, is in itself not a P-Zombie. In a determinist...
Many young people who aren't radicalized into one side of this decades old (or thousands of years depending on perspective) conflict have been the ver...
Experts might simply fear that a fast pace lead to errors. It is easier to succumb to biases and fallacies if knowledge isn't meditated on beyond the ...
Not really accurate. People, even those who argue for taxes, generally don't want to pay taxes. It's just that millionaires or billionaires have the m...
I was fortunate to have been raised with creativity and curiosity as well as understanding consequences of actions. You know, what would constitute a ...
I fail to see your point? People who are unable to exist in a sustainable way with their environment due to things like low income, geographical place...
I buy everything that has sustainable branding. Of course, it's hard to know if they actually follow it, but at least in the EU, the regulations surro...
Who would have thought that adhering to an intricately complex system that has evolved through trial and error for millions of years would yield bette...
No, they're not, they are many different attempts to explain since you never understand simple language semantics. Yes I can, a rock falling has no hu...
Do you think I'm talking about lonely men who are non-violent and who act normal? I'm talking about the blatant misogynist and racist incels, the ones...
Most of us who see the mechanics of capitalism already know how. It's the brilliant system of making slaves that want to be slaves. Hijack their desir...
