So thats no? They arent under the purview of philosophy? Im asking because if they were a part of philosophy then that would mean the claim philosophy...

You dont think critical thinking or the rules of logic are philosophy then I take it?
July 07, 2020 at 23:43
How do you define philosophy? What is it you dislike about it?
July 07, 2020 at 23:28
Sure, but isnt 2 the only one determinism specifically entails? Thats not mutually exclusive to what you said.
July 07, 2020 at 02:46
Ok, then I would only point out how little is actually being said there, seems pretty obvious at that point. Well it could be both those things. So th...

That doesnt show that determinism fails, it shows the limits of the predictive method used. This is just increasing the complexity of the calculation ...

Alright, then I dont think you are talking about something that can be said to be ethically wrong. Those are preferences, and a matter if risk managme...

Ok, well perhaps a distinction between different types of self harm would be helpful? Some things are more pure self harm, like stabbing yourself in t...
July 05, 2020 at 20:31
At what point does preference become self harm? Some things inflict more self harm than others, how do you determine what amount is ok or not? Also, a...

No, I wouldn't say they much in common except irrelevant, generic categorisations.
July 04, 2020 at 18:18
So now the founders beliefs have nothing to do with the movement? If the KKK grand wizard, a self proclaimed KKK-racist, founded a movement and then d...
July 04, 2020 at 16:28
In what way does the beliefs of a movements founders not “have to do” with the movement? I would think it would have quite a lot to do with the moveme...

Try that sentence with a different “ism” in it. Suddenly not so shades worthy huh?
June 30, 2020 at 03:17
Thats Agist. Lol

Perhaps some people suffer from Trump Derangement syndrome after all huh? :wink:

Whether I got something wrong or there is a discussion to be had is irrelevant. I have no interest in working around your entrenched prejudices, you c...

I find this characterisation offensive. Thats not what Im doing. Good day sir.
June 29, 2020 at 05:10
Well using Occums Razor here would be something like “do not add reasons or axioms except out of necessity”. I reviewed your core principals, this see...
June 29, 2020 at 03:55
No forum anywhere represents the world. The internet is a cesspool that attracts the absolute worst people this side of murderers and rapists. What ha...
June 29, 2020 at 03:36
Ok, so something like Occums Razor?
June 29, 2020 at 03:28
Ok, I misunderstood. You want something that obligates me to certain conclusions across multiple topics, the way logic does? And it has to be specific...
June 29, 2020 at 03:20
Well as you increase your awareness of politics you will find connection to other topics because of overlap with them. Why are these people acting thi...
June 28, 2020 at 23:53
Ok, i understand. I have core principals but not sure how theyd fit into your framing nor if any would be concrete enough for yiur query, so ill just ...
June 28, 2020 at 23:33
Is it a cop-out to offer something like reason or logic? I think most people have those as core principals, but im not sure if you are looking fir som...

The word “racism” is not necessary in your statement. At best you could say the residual effects of racism. There isnt That much that you are attribut...
June 28, 2020 at 16:27
Good point. There is probably a few specific areas where what I said applies and a bunch where it doesnt. The ones where it applies are the areas acce...
June 28, 2020 at 01:04
Is that any different than any other topic? Lots of people always have the “dogma” of their particular side they put out and it ruins it for the minor...
June 28, 2020 at 00:54
Alright, I guess we are talking about different things.

Which makes no sense so im assuming an actual criticism or joke has gone over my thick but handsome skull.

Which I think is pretty reasonable considering the mods do this for free. (Right?).

But worth doing to maintain quality on the forum. Also, hurt feelings are not, or shouldn't be, a deciding factor in the decision to ban. They really ...
June 27, 2020 at 20:42
Well, depends on the brand of believer. Some of them have salvation (still not going to concede its all about “personal” salvation) tied very closely ...

Oh. Well it wasnt intended that way, but rather intended to simply raise a concern and gather information. Fdrake, apologies if I came across as rude.
