I would describe it as sense of self sure. Thats why people call it an illusion, cuz the “self” is t really there. You recognise the mechanics at work...
Correct, DMT will have that result. Other psychedelics can in the right settings, but DMT is a very reliable means of producing this effect. Id call t...
There might be some semantics to it ya. Its very difficult to explain to someone whose never experienced it. Imagine a room with a bunch of machines (...
Well there is still something going on, an experience is happening but its not the “self” thats experiencing. When the “self” returns, it can access t...
The illusion of self is present, and once it dissolves you see that all the things “self” was doing are actually a collection of processes the “self” ...
Nothing loses the sense of self, the sense of self dissolves and is no longer present. The “I” part of your consciousness goes away and “you” becomes ...
Have you tried any psychedelics or achieved a deep mediative state? In other words, have you actually done anything that would result in the loss of y...
What criteria do you use to distinguish between TDS and legitimate criticism of Trump? How do you know when a person who has a negative even anti-trum...
Then they would be ignoring how you’ve framed the question wouldnt they? As I said, you have defined the act as unethical. You are essentially asking,...
Well, you didnt really include those parameters in the initial post. Sure, if it is unethical to get those people to come to work when they could work...
Lol, come on that was funny. Anyway, arent you essentially asking if the guidelines that are in place are ethical? In your example the guidelines are ...
Different discussion. Im not asking about your own “objective” morality and how the societies morality is measured against it, im just referencing the...
No im not claiming absolute truth. Its relative to whatever standard of the society/group. So your objection is essentially that morality isnt about t...
Well I disagree with pretty much all of that. I think its precisely logical, and do not think its correct to call it inaccurate. I think you can take ...
Well creationism does actually include some evolution, they just call it something different. Where the two divide is on scale. Under creationism any ...
So now we’re clear about how I framed this in the OP? This was all about clarifying on what basis I made my questions about moral debt. Now that you’v...
Yes, that is another valid criticism of DCT. Even if it were true, we have no reliable means of knowing. A DCT proponent would probably say we do, thr...
That IS my objection to his argument, thats what I’ve been saying. DCT defines and then assumes a god as one of its premises. Thats why someone like C...
Ya, I wasnt intending to operate from a universal standard for ethics. Ive meant it to be about any given societies standard. All thats required is a ...
Why would I do that? So you can ignore what I said and restate your position? This is what I mean by not arguing in good faith. You aren’t engaging wi...
Lol, now youre getting it. The big hint is in the title of the theory: Divine Command Theory...not Divine Command if the Commands Seem Reasonable Theo...
If you do not understand half of what I say, how can you make the claim I didnt understand your simple point? I think you are the one lacking understa...
Well now you’ve gone the complete opposite of the individual, all of mankind. Two things. Its not an unspecified collective. It can be a specific one....
Ya, his winking emojis dont convince me either. So much for his claims of practicing a peaceful religion. So from what I gather you exercise banning b...
What kinda extremism? Don’t get me wrong, no big loss imo but I only read ignorant, repetitive religious stuff. None of it was extreme that I saw. Wha...
I see. So your morality is intuition based? I should have asked before...how are you using “tragedy” here? If death and tragedy are both natural, how ...
Ok, so the distinction is moral agency. Ok, so back to all loss of life being tragic. Why is that? If its a part of life as you say, then its not unde...
Ok, so Im just wondering why you are not more focused on the greater loss of life of bacteria or plants. You implied it has to do with them not being ...
Of course, yes, and by participating in the abortion thread you are showing where your focus is, or is that not the case? Just to be clear, Im being s...
Well he expressly stated that he isnt doing harm to anyones autonomy, and that people are free to be immoral. I think that covers him, but of course I...
Ah, I see. So would it be fair to say the answer to my question is that you are focusing on abortion because it is there that moral judgements can be ...
He is casting a moral judgement, not a prescription for what a women should be allowed or not allowed to do. Lol, missed that comment. You aren’t stup...
Why arent you advocating for all the tragic loss of plant life? Bugs? Bacteria? Many magnitudes more bacteria die that all other life combined, so you...
Well defining terms is always a good place to start, especially when there is serious contention on those terms. Personally, Im happy to go with whate...
Yes, its arbitrary from the perspective of someone who rejects the premiss of divine command theory, thats what Im saying. You didnt actually address ...
