oh I completely forgot about you sorry What's the difference? They sound the same to me You can't reduce suffering to below zero yes? Antinatalism pro...

AHHHHHHHHHH. Well you're not wrong but that's not all of us. Thats called "license to sin" in psychology and it makes no sense. She could've donated t...

I think this is what always happens when some movement becomes popular. People start seeing the opposing side as "fashionable" and start following it ...

We punish people that we see as doing wrong things. By "shouldn't be punished" I mean "they didn't do something wrong" How do you know those condition...

makes sense. Idk why I chose those names

I told you my decision already: it depends on the patient but I lean towards pulling the plug. What I don't know the answer to is which of two strange...

Wot?

No they're incapable of experiencing the experience that showed most of us what a "line" means. Aka seeing a line drawn and someone pointing to it and...

you haven't given me evidence that conceiving of things such as "line" is impossible without experience. By that description, blind people should neve...

yes which is why "yellow" and "banana" are both non primal.

ok

Anything defined by primal concepts is a primal concept, because you could've come up with the definition yourself without any sensory input Any words...

you're interpreting it in the worst possible way. By "go in circles" I mean go nowhere not that they're circular (as I've said already). Notice how I ...

"Location" and "Point" are synonyms. And notice how the definition of point only employs primal words Again, only uses primal words I'm not denying th...

only you see this as a fight

:up: you put it better I just don't like the language used here. By this language a triangle is meaningless amd cannot be understood

whatever you say man

But all of those represent things that exist. Things the baby couldn't have known without seeing them. A baby knows what a "shape" or a "line" is thou...

whatever you say man

Yes and "primal words" are words describing concepts. Non primal words describe things, like a fridge I cannot. Because primal words only define other...

Not even a point in space? Or a triangle? What "experience" did you refer to in your definitions? You only used points, shapes space, etc See, you kee...

"go in circles" is just a figure of speech. I didn't mean circular argument. Similar to "go nowhere." I wasn't trying to bash your posts chill.

I know. But if you have 10 quintillion coins the deviation will be negligible which is why I said quantum mechanics predicts the behavior of aggregate...

My basic premise is: if he/she didn't cause it, they cannot be punished for not stopping it. Simply because: it's not their fault. Why are you assumin...

oh ok sorry. That's what you meant Yes it does. I don't know what to do in the scenario you posited. I just don't

Star wars: Knights of the old republic 1 and 2 Skyrim Civilization Dishonored (all of em) League of Legends (Love hate relationship) Prince of Persia ...

What does "backed away with the zero conclusion" mean?

by first question I meant this: I don't think how close you are to the victim should have any effect in the extent to which you should have control ov...

The materialist can say "No natural cause has been found for the outcome of any event so God didn't cause this either" Is what banno is saying I think

That's just false. It does so through statistics. Say in economics: you have 1 billion humans in a simulation. Even if you give each human a small cha...

Incorrect. I define suffering as "any experience you value negatively and wish to avoid". In other words: whatever experience you value negatively. So...

Ok then existence is a concept made up by another concept. A concept squared. The point is "existence" doesn't have a subjective experience as far as ...

I'm not saying that's not harm. Tim didn't want to die did he? He also didn't want to experience the pain that leads to dying (not that there is any i...

When did I say that? Getting killed will harm you, death itself doesn't. As to why you avoid death or getting killed? Because your ancestors that did ...

Incorrect. We have an instrumental reason to avoid getting killed. We are avoiding the transition from life to death. But once someone is dead it's ob...

Probably yeah. (Again, depends on the victim) Now you're asking the first question to which I answered: I don't know Under normal circumstances no one...

I think in this scenario you should try to act as you believe the patient would have acted and I think most people would want their life support cut o...

So you're asking who I side with, the parents or spouse? Again, depends on how hellish hell is and what I know about the person. Though I side with th...

c'mon you know that was a typo

As an antinatalist I wouldn't choose any life for anyone so this doesn't tell me much To be honest, I think there should be an official way to deal wi...

To who? I'd say getting murdered painfully is a burden and harm but death (the final result) certainly isn't. Who is there to be burdened by it? They'...

For a single particle quantum effects result in massive uncertainties, but for a large enough aggregate of particles we can know that there is a 99.99...

Are you asking who should as in: "In any given situation should the spouse or parents take priority" or as in: "Which do you side with the spouse or t...

I never used the word "force" (or maybe I did but that would be just senseless emotional appeal) and I never used "possible person"

:up: (I should stop doing this but you seem to read my mind)

I think they do I think it's simple 1- For every concept x there is a concept representing not x (!x) 2- So any "unity" we come up with and call x, th...

I think you're hinting at some Daoist principles here. It is a common idea in Daoism that for something to be it must have an opposite. When you conce...

Not true. We have arrived at an infinite number of absolute truths. Some examples: No bachelor is married, No circle is a square, etc I believe "somet...

My food looks really time right now

Doesn't exist as far as I define "responsibility" and "existence". First off you can't be "responsible" to a concept. I can't be responsible to the co...
