Ok, Think I get it. Not much of a math guy so its a bit greek to me. So does math the construct describe something, is it mapped onto something that i...
I would say thats a philosophy thing, rather than specific to this forum. Many of the major philosophy topics haven’t really changed much in centuries...
Ya, I hear ya. Thats what I meant by the problematic medium, it lends itself to the assumptions etc. Im certainly guilty of it myself. The misread ton...
I think miscommunication is built into the medium. Its an unfortunate trade-off, the vast exposure to different people/ideas/perspectives but via a me...
One thing I like to do when its clear someone doesnt know what they are talking about but offers their “knowledge” on the subject is to quickly google...
That is what atheism means. Its not because I say so, but because that is what the word was created to mean. An atheist that thinks being an atheist m...
If you do NOT believe in (a)god (some KIND of theist), then you are some kind OF atheist. Agnosticism is not a third option, it is a specific position...
The method is authoritarian. I do not think anyone should be able to police anyone else's thoughts on anything. The goal, people should get along and ...
Nah, you are conflating my distaste for authoritarianism and thought policing and my thoughts on minorities. One might say I disagree with the methods...
Here we go. I do not think those two things are the same. The hard right does use the term as you say, I agree. I am not using it that way, but indeed...
Somethings not getting accross here, I feel like ive been saying Im not talking about SJW extremists. I feel like ive been pretty clear on that point....
Im talking about people who refer to themselves as SJW’s in general. I'm talking about the SJW “movement”. You are beginning to tire me out here, have...
I Suppose so, although I was operating under the impression prayers had to have a supernatural component otherwise ya, one wonders just whats so impre...
Well, I understand its a terribly unsatisfying response but I have already described my use of the term and my thoughts on the SJW “movement”. I belie...
Why would I speak for someone else, when I can speak for myself? Im not interested in debating about who is and who isnt hard right when I have a perf...
No, that is not what I am asking. You said there are only two types of people who use “SJW” as a pejorative, the fact that I am not of those two types...
I do not understand why that is cryptic to you. I am not hard right, nor a progressive talking about extremists. You said those were the only people u...
Strawmanned me right out of the gate, perhaps you didnt mean to. I didnt ask about people in the “centre”, here is what I said: “In general to anyone ...
Alright, well I wasnt intending to imply you said anything about god specifically, nor was I trying to be adversarial. It was related commentary for t...
And the unanswered prayers of others? No plan fir them? Not worthwhile people? My son dies of cancer even though I prayed, no plan for him I guess? No...
It depends on what “god” you are talking about, what attributes are being assigned to the “god” in question. These claims, at least some of them, are ...
I think that is exactly right, collateral damage is a consequence of free speech. The degree and nature of that damage should be measured against the ...
So how does that work? You think that god suspended the laws of nature for you and your dog but not for other people whose dogs, children, mothers, fa...
Aren’t those examples of knowledge though? They are only “beliefs” specifically when that knowledge is being acted upon. If you disagree with that, th...
What about when they use the term “SJW” as a pejorative? If its only used that way by the hard right or progressives who are talking about extremists,...
Well, many terms mean different things to different people, I dont think we should abandon them. What about people who are lefties and use the term an...
In general to anyone saying the term SJW is a term used as a weapon by the hard right to smear any kind of progressive or anyone invested in social ju...
I mostly agree with what you said after quoting me there, although we might disagree on the prevalence of the ones giving “advocates of a better world...
I think we are a lot closer than a billion years. I understand thats not important to the question of should but there seems to be some pretty viable ...
...im not talking about the word itself, im talking about how the word is used as part of the rationale for behaviour. If you want to be racist agains...
Another general point about using racism as a reason for firing someone etc, is that the label is very often misapplied by SJW types. What you wear fo...
The control you speak of uses free speech as its disguise. They arent interested in expressing a view, they are interested in what they can force othe...
Dangerous because that new definition is then used to justify something like “you cannot be racist against white people”. Once you establish that new ...
Im not sure its fringe, if that's what you mean by extremist. The movement and idealogy inevitably become “extreme”, for example the idea that words a...
I think it goes way beyond the firing of people in the manner you describe, or a university setting. For example l, According to a significant portion...
Social justice has been hijacked by facist idealogues, from something well intentioned to something dark and authoritarian. Evergreen College is a pri...
Your post was irrelevant to the points I made. Not sure why you put everyone altogether in that as if your short response could adequately cover so ma...
