This isnt a question of not worrying about what you cannot control. You are really not concerned about say a pedophile spying in your kids? Spying its...

Why would you not be fine with strangers tracking your children?! Are you serious? What an absolutely mad question to even ask! And you’re comfortable...

How does Vegan fit in? Vegan is…scientific?

You might as well, it doesnt look like your going to make any headway with Praxis.

I think your opposition would say the same about you. I guess Im less interested in whose right or wrong and more interested in the two sides actually...

You made a point earlier about Christians claiming to be Christians but aren’t actually Christians. Its just like that. Woke principals include equity...

That would be item #9 on the regressive agenda. 9. If someone brings up a problem, pivot to talking about a non-problem.

It can be. As I told Praxis you are using a broad brush here. Your points about problematic woke land with me (See my previous post about the regressi...

Well, I think woke has some good principals. Equity is good, racism and sexism are bad, traditional values need to be updated…those all seem good in p...

Back before woke became a popular it was called “regressive left” by some. Fitting I always thought, given the very obvious but very ignored double st...

Im not. Apparently mistaken, but not dishonest.

It was my summation of your view not a direct quote. I followed up by offering apologies if that wasnt your view.

Ive been following along.

Ok. Inaccurate..sure, a broad stroke rather than nuanced. Skewed by Maga rhetoric? A broad stroke. Its possible to express opinions that overlap with ...

That there is nothing to what Fire is saying but dishonest Maga talking points. If Im wrong about that view then apologies.

It was a commentary on your denial not your politics. I was being cheeky, this thread could use some levity. Maga anti left hate mongering is standard...

We know you are Praxis, but he’s trying very hard to get you not to be.

Thanks I think? I would say this is an example of woke over reach not necessarily woke itself. That was the point I was getting at by starting with a ...

A suggested definition of woke that should satisfy left/woke folk. Then if I may suggest the task then becomes discussing what parts of the spectrum t...

Pretty obvious to me Boethius is the disingenuine (and likely mentally ill imo) one here. How could a question so simple be impossible to answer? Inst...

That would be an analogy of the irony of a gun guy getting shot, sure.

It is the same in the “sacrifice” regard. The trade off of lives is analogous, not the reasons why or even what those lives are traded for. We are wil...

I see. Honestly Im not really buying your broader premise here. Im not even a fan of Kirks but Im not going to pretend him and gaza have anything pert...

Cars are not analogous to guns when it comes to necessity, I agree. Thankfully for my point I am not making an analogy about necessity. Im making an a...

Im honestly not sure what you mean here.

Nope, it may well turn out to be them or any number of other motives…but I doubt you’d wanna bet much money on it :wink: If it turns out to be a jilte...

No idea how Kirk would react to an angel. That is not the trade off I stated I was referencing your direct quote not your non-sequitur hypothetical sc...

Can we not appreciate the irony AND be disgusted by the reaction to a political assassination? One shot from a sniper position. Primary suspicion of m...

Not reasonable statement? Replace “guns” with “cars”. Still unreasonable? The irony isnt lost on me, but I think Kirk would 100% include his own death...

So you are arguing or asking if the assassination of Charlie Kirk was justified? Youre a mod? Thats pretty fucked up.

I am not. Ive spent a lot of time talking to those folks and learning but I don’t seem to be built that way. Where I stand depends on what the claim i...

The point of disagreement is “reasoned choice”. Obviously it depends on the specific belief or claims but in general I think a lack of belief can be r...

As we should with all things reduced to “mystery” as a description. I disagree here. I would call it need rather than preference. Some people seem to ...

Not beyond Cartesian doubt obviously, but It think we can be reasonably certain….but it sounds like you believe no one has any knowledge about god, fr...

Unless the god in question could/would/should stop or curb that evil. The fact that there is no intervention, even just a quick “do not kill in my nam...

In the sense that a god of certain traits (all good being my example) would not allow that/those traits to be represented by followers. Since the trai...

Well there ARE bible literalists, so some people do believe a cartoonish thing. Of course it is also low hanging fruit as you say, the easiest attack ...

Im curious what the cartoon account is in your view. Are you seeing any of that in Paulas posts or do you mean in general?

Well, its a good thing you’ve brought this to this forum. Once its in the hands of an obscure philosophy forum there is no end to the help such a high...

God, holy spirit, jesus. Water, ice, steam. Same substance, different form.

One is just as justified to say life is eternal joy as saying life is eternal suffering. I wouldnt say either is accurate though becuase obviously bot...

Fair enough.

I think we’ve seen enough failed predictions about Trump to see how the people you speak of react. Most of what they say now they said about his first...

Thank you

Odd, this thread isnt showing up in any of the forum catagories…

It is enough to achieve your goals though, in fact its all you can do. It seems to me the hidden problem for you is the timetable. You cannot achieve ...

If you pay taxes you are addressing a lot of those. The answer to your question is to be more involved in the institutions which it seems like you do....

Some gems in there, thanks Bob.

You don’t need to know the future to rationally conclude something is a temporary problem. You can assess outcomes based on previous cases, scientific...
