What argument? Do you mean to say that "non trivial harm exists in life" = "Procreation is wrong"? Because that doesn't follow at all. Yes. Also, life...
So... define it. A question ends with a question mark. I honestly don't know what you want me to answer here. I guess this? Yes, we agree that non tri...
There was no question in your comment. If anything, I am the one that asked a question: And you responded: And now you don't want to support that answ...
So if a slave was fine with his conditions then we classify his enslavement as a non-trivial imposition? Wasn't this one of our main points of disagre...
Yes. Probably. I'm asking you to define it. Without any reference to experiences or their reports. You claim this is possible. You defined it, let's g...
I didn't refer to having kids at all. This isn't about that, it's more general. It's about: When someone steals from a charity he hurts them, by how m...
Ok, at least you don’t have a ridiculous position. Though it seems to me there is a contradiction between here: And here: How is it not right sometime...
Yup. Nice summary. Agreed that imposing too much harm is wrong. But, and I hate to bring this up again, this would be insufficient. You think surprise...
Not just us. Again, everyone agrees you shouldn’t impose non trivial suffering on others. They just disagree on how much of an imposition life is. No....
That’s what you meant by unnecessary? That’s ridiculous though. You remember the life guard example right? In that example, by this definition, waking...
Not an AN anymore, but this is ridiculous. Since when is it that when we can’t ask for consent, we assume it is given? That’s the exact opposite of wh...
We’d still do ethics in much the same way. You’d be punished for harms you directly cause and not punished for others, with people frequently disagree...
So your objection is premise 1. If it affects the physical it had to be physical. Because that’s how people define “physical”. Not by mass, not by vel...
Usually people say “mental states are brain states” not “my mind is my brain”. Here’s an attempt at the former: 1- Every physical effect has sufficien...
So you think there is something wrong with letting people commit suicide while they’re young, and at the same time you think that them not being able ...
Your objection seems to be that not everyone can commit suicide, but everyone can return the gift. I don't find that convincing, but does it mean that...
Yes. No, it's just too rare to call having kids in that scenario anything less than irresponsibility. There is a whole lot between "rich" and "poor". ...
I'm pointing out that just because something is an unconsented imposition clearly doesn't automatically make it wrong. So you need more premises to ma...
Huh, funny, I was just about to say the same to you. You understand it takes two to debate right? And it was only recently with your saying “having su...
Do you think of this when deciding what gift to buy a friend for an occasion then settling on nothing since the gift could be harmful? I find it dubio...
Because I FEEL LIKE IT!!!!!!!! Also to prevent AN threads from turning into the echo chambers they usually turn to. Start whatever thread you want, bu...
You know they couldn't land right? They get punished or killed for cowardice. Again, conflating not being able to voice opposition with agreement to t...
There are multiple reasons a dialogue can't go forward. Either, a party refuses to move it forward, or the parties have found a fundamental disagreeme...
Maybe. But that’s what it sounded like to me. Yea but they don’t think the other side is valid (hence hardcore). And so they don’t agree to disagree. ...
And others may speak up to say why it's not problematic. There is a pretty critical difference here. I'm not going around telling people "Y'all should...
Well it depends on the issue. Precisely because they think they’re right. You don’t see a politician saying “Ah well you see, this is just my opinion,...
He was making 100+ posts per day about 4 of which were new topics. No way most aren’t shit. He also had a severe case of Bartricks syndrome. I don’t t...
Well it becomes a problem when you try to convince others of something for which one of the main premises is not provable isn’t it? No. Because being ...
Which you still haven’t shown actually meet the threshold. See, I wouldn’t mind you saying “I see life as too much of an imposition so I won’t have ki...
The question has a type error. Neural network systems are RUN on computers. AI are programs, not devices. This is like asking “What makes it so diffic...
By this logic surprise parties are definitely wrong. You’re being inconsistent. Yes. Because you said it first…. Can you at least keep track of your o...
Key word: Can. You have yet to prove this happens to a sufficient degree so as to distrust the overall report. It’s like saying “People sometimes lie ...
How might one go about finding out God’s standards? Or they’re just insane. How do they know it’s not that? Right. Where does this preclude us from ju...
As I said, we don't know those. So anyone who pretends to judge God by God's standards is bullshitting. He has no clue if he's correct or not. Doesn't...
Fair enough. Finally some attempt at proving that OB applies to longer events more. Anyways, as stated above, it still doesn’t lead to “life is at bes...
99% of the time people say such things they mean to add "except this one" at the end. It's just less poetic so they don't. Socrates said "All I know i...
No it doesn’t. It doesn’t favor any argument. Just because it challenges the status quo doesn't mean it supports alternatives. Right, and even if we a...
That doesn't quite work, because one's own evaluation of what belongs to who can be completely different from the evaluation of another, hence the sli...
But you said needs like these are insufficient. So are they sufficient now? I agree, but this isn’t reflected in your blanket statement that your need...
