It would take the form of "I'm not getting a vaccine and other's shouldn't as well because of X" Do I have to state this isn't a conversation between ...

Yes, in order to distribute an argument it would have to exist first. It's the difference between stating a preference and reason. Simply, stating one...

Distribution of a potentially harmful argument that others mistake for medical advice.
August 24, 2021 at 16:46
Technically, only events which are possible ever occur.
August 24, 2021 at 04:59
Actually, that's not really the definition of possible. It has to be an outcome that could occur. Before you flip a coin, it's possible heads or tails...
August 24, 2021 at 03:52
It kind of boils down to a question of bad advice given honestly can be reckless if it results in harm. The anti-vaxxers in MI are getting sick off of...
August 24, 2021 at 01:02
Well, everybody is pretty sure there's a thing. That much seems familiar, but where it is relative to not your perception of it seems to keep expandin...

I'm demonstrating complicated nonsense is still nonsense. Philosophy seems to have cracks that let people imagine possible things that will never occu...
August 23, 2021 at 03:40
I agree.
August 23, 2021 at 03:15
Yep. You solved the puzzle. The thing outside of itself is you. Implied by the definition put forward in the OP as the view of yourself from the thing...
August 23, 2021 at 03:13
I was baiting Tim. But since the topic changed. No anti-vaccination is an irresponsible position. Fine if you don't participate, but don't drag others...
August 23, 2021 at 03:04
Yes, from your point of view I'm acknowledging the severity of the problem and suggesting people continue to make it worse through doubtful conversati...
August 23, 2021 at 03:02
It's a vaccine for something that did mutate. Developing a natural immunity is a lean in strategy toward a pandemic. I have read the articles that cla...
August 22, 2021 at 05:37
Yes, several. But, primarily the theme of being off putting and condescending(though warrented) doesn't seem to be improving the situation. What part ...
August 22, 2021 at 05:20
It seems rude to pretend to that level of suffering for the sake of argument. I could literally be talking to myself right now in regards to where I s...
August 22, 2021 at 02:03
Yes, I thought a break from emoting hysteria might be interesting. It's totally justified, but doesn't seem to be getting the job done. If only we had...
August 22, 2021 at 01:46
I agree, but I don't assume I'll ever achieve any actual level of opposition. I might maintain the price floor but producers will always sell to the h...
August 22, 2021 at 01:45
Any actionable idea would be outside the scope of the OP.
August 22, 2021 at 01:26
It comes off as contrarian if you've never experienced any hesitation. But, yes it's also strange for a group to select 'not immunized' as a part of t...
August 22, 2021 at 01:09
It's more of a context for discussion. I'm trying to create a more of a space than a target. I think some people had/have doubts. Telling a person wha...
August 22, 2021 at 01:05
I've met more than a few people that take it for granted that population reduction is something that the super wealthy desire. It has a pleasant intui...
August 21, 2021 at 22:29
The thread merely assumes any question is about the belief of certainty and no actionable concern. If testing the matter lets you think about somethin...
August 21, 2021 at 21:30
Your other post was pretty powerful. I was considering sharing it on facebook. And I rarely drop anything too loud on there. I made this thread to div...
August 21, 2021 at 21:07
I made a thread 7 hours ago for the purpose of discussing the topic which is supposedly being repressed. Informing others of your freelance medical kn...
August 21, 2021 at 20:53
So far I've only claimed that I could give a name to thing outside of itself and others could then reason about it as a result. Confirming that we kno...
August 21, 2021 at 20:38
I understand it is supposed to be a metaphor. Seeing the forest for the trees or the end of the wall when all I see is wall. But, it ignores so much b...
August 21, 2021 at 17:28
I mean I'm at least two assertions deep in some speculation about material. My basis is that Wittgenstein was right, but there's easier ways to demons...
August 21, 2021 at 16:56
It's all the same perspective at the end of the day. We pretend what we must look like to the mirror as the mirror. But, there's no real other view to...
August 21, 2021 at 14:33
Exactly.
August 21, 2021 at 14:20
It seems consistent with my experience of the world. I can imagine the things I can see and places I can be. I can also differentiate between the memo...
August 21, 2021 at 14:19
In the moment one looks the other direction and simply doesn't feel anything. Needle tech has come a long way in 20yrs. There isn't even a pinching se...
August 21, 2021 at 14:09
What can I do for you?
August 21, 2021 at 00:09
You'd have to base that belief on knowing what it is to see a goldfish when you see one as you imagine what it sees.
August 20, 2021 at 23:20
Yes, that's better than I imagined. I was thinking their was merit to challenging itself validity, but I wasn't sure how to demonstrate it properly. W...
August 20, 2021 at 23:15
I successfully identified several objects correctly.
August 20, 2021 at 23:10
Try it.
August 20, 2021 at 23:05
How could you miss it? Yes, stepping back a bit helps. But, it isn't exclusive. I'm not sure that specifing mathematical proofs as the subject capture...
August 20, 2021 at 23:04
Technically, it's an observation that the thing doesn't see us.
August 20, 2021 at 22:22
I can agree that it seems common sense. I think that is because we know what it's like to imagine a different point of view. But, in this case we are ...
August 20, 2021 at 22:16
Nah, you can get at it with audio. That's why you can drive and listen to music or have a conversation. It's two different processing centers.
August 20, 2021 at 21:40
Does the implication of infinite regression hold? Interesting test; propose a nonsense term and find a catalog of reference material is already availa...
August 20, 2021 at 21:16
:up: What about a thing outside the inside of itself. The way it sees me trying to see it as if it were me.
August 20, 2021 at 20:23
Need to start a thread called : Vaccines, the moral compulsory certainty for which consensus remains absolute?
August 20, 2021 at 19:48
Oh, I thought this discussion was taking place in a context. Yes, there's lots of things spooky about vaccines. Immune responses can swell your brain ...
August 20, 2021 at 19:25
So, in order to maintain your position you have to argue the prefix -anti (in this novel case) does not imply opposition, but merely the capability fo...
August 20, 2021 at 19:11
I can doubt a vaccine, am I an antivaxxer?
August 20, 2021 at 19:04
What defines the set? If not a person opposed to a particular policy, activity, or idea.
August 20, 2021 at 18:59
Antivaccination as it's understood would not consider vaccination a good public policy.
