I don't recall saying this or suggesting it; which proves my point better than my argument. A person unwilling to devalue the worst amongst us in prin...
In principle it sets one further apart from Nazism. Considering things in the context of active military engagement presupposes quite a bit. I'm not s...
I share the sentiment with regard to the struggle in today's landscape. Taking the 'high road' in the moment looks like weakness, but we forget it's a...
I still argue that it is better isolate the ideas from the people. I don't think we lose anything from failing to make additional assumptions of worth...
I think I understand this argument. It acknowledges that the individual and the group ought be assessed in different ways; at least acknowledging that...
It's the basis for tribalism. The foundation of fascism. It reduces the human condition to some narrow division of ideals and places us further from a...
This is a way of blaming them for one's low valuation of them. Historically lumping undesirables into sets and devaluing them has preceded atrocities....
Rephrased it reads "I didn't understand the point of the thread, nor properly interpret the OP" Is this literally asking about the morality of produci...
What? We don't consider the present is exactly the same as the projected future states? How do we pretend cardiac base tissue is a person, by other me...
So he drops the qualifier 'potential' in order to present a bad argument. One can't do crimes against potential things. Or another way. Every living p...
What? It's the name of a color. They make a crayon. I didn't get to label it. I maintain that this phrase above is never resident in some one's mind d...
I thought we sorted this one out already? Ideas are physical if you need them to be in order to maintain a cherished belief that a non-physical thing ...
No great marriage ends in divorce. People should be free to take actions that finalize their internal state. I don't recommend "normalizing" infidelit...
The OP requests the indescribable; I try to make posts to order. To demystify the matter colors are describable by hexadecimal and I imagine even more...
Agreed. In this context french grey is actually a static color that I happen to enjoy. Really, grey itself represents a unique balance, but a little b...
I'm certain it does change; I hadn't been aware of the greenish verision until earlier today. I'm not sure I can endorse "no common agreement"; rather...
Granted, but if I do an image search for french grey I'll get any number of different colors. In order for something to be described it is necessary t...
The OP hasn't suggested an intention to advocate a position. So, the omission of arguments seems reasonable. I believe 'yellow grey' is also attribute...
I think you are correct. Prior to an attempt at liberation there was at least a space for emotional existence. Probably a patronised and exploited spa...
Choices are funny things. Maybe we don't get to pick our ideas, but maybe we do get to pick from a few options. Sometimes people do seem compelled and...
Our banking system and some industries reward psychopathic skill sets. I think people in general have the capciety for both; but if one spends all day...
The number of contexts in which the idea is relevant and the resulting explanantory power from understanding the idea. Like, Maxwell's equations would...
In a matriarchy both genders are subject to becoming narcissistic coroporate machines. Then, we end up raising a generation of psychopaths that keep s...
I've heard varations of this argument over the years. One professor claimed that failing to give a movie a bad review would somehow lead to the fall o...
An alternative to your response would be to address the entire sentence. What color is your "Covid Passport" for internal travel within your borders? ...
https://philpapers.org/archive/VARKAL.pdf It's more of a semantics matter to me when presented in this way. If you feel the precision of language achi...
Well, I said; it was immoral and permissible in the conditions set forward in the OP regarding a man's wife asking about another woman's appearance. I...
Kant has a legal definition of lying that is misunderstood. To lie in Kant's legal sense entails cheating some one in some way. It's been misunderstoo...
Based on a thread I spun a few weeks ago it comes down to analysis of two parts. One is strict morality and the other one permissibility. It's immoral...
If you were in a Georgia swamp this time of year; I bet you'd understand. You are right there's a western tradition of dismissing a whole host of mate...
The mind thinks. It's takes the reference points created during our evolution and triangulates ideas. I think philosophy is this process being carried...
No, the US oscillates between the Southern Democrats of the mid 20th century and the moderate/progressive Modern Democrats. Obama was a major step for...
To me meta-physical the word implies what you are saying. Something that exist in reference to the physical world, rather than something that exist in...
Interesting, I see your position was more nuanced than my attempt to simplify it. I'll have to reconsider the matter. I think we have different defini...
It was meant as a bit of faux concession in hopes I'd have 180 off guard following his acceptance of it. Well, he took the bait and ate it. I don't re...
I was going to try and sum up the position I believe you are communicating. It's not meant as anything definitive; just a chance to look for misinterp...
