Right, but you said its purpose is what you are using it for. I used a spoon to make it clear that you can use something for a purpose it wasn't inten...
I understand. So what about things that have a purpose/usefulness but do not fulfil its purpose particularly well, or even poorly? Would that change a...
Ok, so can something have a purpose that it isnt useful for? What about something that has a purpose but it isnt really that useful to that purpose, o...
Its both. Its two different ideas about the purpose of the golf club (as a means to play a game and as a weapon) AND it is two senses of the word purp...
I think its useful to have a distinction between purpose of use and purpose created for. I could create create a golf club for the purpose of playing ...
Wow. I did 1 minute 27 seconds on the first and 57 seconds on the 2nd. That blonde was particularly cringe inducing. No wonder I never watch those thi...
In what way is that “ mod submitted” dipshit? What I said is highly accurate, as you just evidenced. First, you don’t know enough to understand how yo...
You have never made a more clear and accurate statement. If the difference between a soft handed mod team and a hard handed mod team is jerkoffs like ...
Im not out there bitching about my threads getting moved you fucking dipshit. If I was you would have a point, but im not so you dont. I cant remember...
Well you said “truth is human description”, you also said truth is also human misdescriptions which you said are false. So if you are just saying trut...
Well misdescribing something is a type of description, so if descriptions are truth then you cannot also then say that misdescriptions false....at lea...
That sounds like something can be truth and false. That seems like a contradiction. Do you mean something being true in one way but not true in anothe...
Frank Apisa and 3017amen seem like trolls who not only contribute nothing but also derail/flood/pollute discussion. I dont use the term troll lightly ...
You enjoy wasting your time dont you? Lol No amount of reasoning or patience will avail you sir, you are dealing with a troll and in Franks case, deme...
None of that has to do with the topic at hand. I didnt complain about it being personal, or that you were grouchy. You havent said anything of substan...
Constructive? In what way is that constructive?! :lol: Intellectual cowardice more like. You cant defend your assertions and have failed on every leve...
No, we have good reason to think we have no better alternative. Imperfect reasoning sure, but what else fo we have? We b do the best with what we have...
I didnt say it does. I’m merely pointing out that we have no reason to think logic would fail at any particular thing. Until we do, the proven reliabi...
No its not an assumption. Logic has a proven reliability and usefulness. Its something you can study academically. I dont see how you can defend your ...
Humans. I wouldn't say moral no, though to me it always depends on why something is being done as a determinate of whats moral or immoral. I would cal...
Sure, in underdeveloped humans you dont find the same kind of agency. It has yet to develop moral agency, but it will. Thats not the case with most an...
Ive noted you didnt speak to a point I actually made but instead moved on to make another point about human babies. You asked why it would be incohere...
I dont think it is coherent. You said it yourself, animals are not moral agents. Is it coherent to treat non-moral agents morally? A rock? A tree? No....
I think there is a difference between something “having the quality of being different” and a “state of nothingness”. “No difference” isnt the same as...
Well I wouldnt say the end is near...we functioned as a species for a long time on just emotion and tribalism. Even with reason dead, humans will be a...
Ok ignoring the fact you havent refuted my counter points, Why would that be absurd? When they talk about what they see they are talking about the col...
Its still just words. Its not restrictive (which is what you need it to be for your argument to work) because anyone can use shared vocabulary to add ...
Its just normal vocabulary, nothing about the vocabulary used for brain states is special. Its just words, with meanings, that some people know and so...
Nobody can communicate about anything without shared vocabulary, this is a red herring and your whole argument depends upon it. Further, it is false t...
Alright, fair point I should have used a less strong word than “force”. What I had in mind is when someone wants to end their suffering by ending thei...
I did respond to the substance of what you are saying excepting where the substance was based off of a misunderstanding or error. You are the one tryi...
Well you had offered an example of what I was talking about so I pointed it out. Im not backing down, like I said I think you were functioning that wa...
Its grounded in evolutionary psychology, its part of being human. It becomes a problem when people fail to recognise it for what it is, just like when...
No, I prefaced my use of “us vs them” with other words that exclude such a simplistic point. Its not just “us vs them” i was speaking about, I tied th...
Mercy and justice are only mutually exclusive in the same instance. One can still possess both attributes and use one or the other at different times ...
I find it very difficult to associate innocence with creatures who eat their own children alive, specifically target the young and vulnerable to kill ...
Well said, its nearly impossible for discussion because of the minefield of words, ideas and specific opinions that trigger attack mode in one side or...
No, i wasnt making a general statement about some unrelated example of being self centred. Also, you didnt say “sometimes”. The words you used were “t...
