Im sorry, I just cannot believe that. You are refusing to even disagree with him in any real away, yet on and on you argue. You are having a very dish...

You are being trolled dude. Im guessing because he feels like he’s giving you your own medicine or something but its clear he is being deliberately ob...

Lol, ill be less entertained so on 2nd thought just keep going.

Yes, Ive been following that and some of your other discussions. Word of advice: just lead with a good breakdown of good ol’ Dunning Kruger. Everythin...

Faith isnt a reason for believing in something. You do not believe in your driving because “faith”. You have actual reasons for believing in your driv...

That is most certainly an idiosyncratic way of viewing subjectivity, but it doesnt matter, just drop the term then.

I see. I used “judgement” to try and put things in a way Rank would easier digest but if that twisted what you meant then apologies. It should teach m...

It actually has been addressed, I think whats tripping you up perhaps is that there is an interaction between objective stuff and subjective stuff. Dr...

They are subjective because they are mental notions. Again, thats what the subjective realm is. No minds, no subjectivity.

The biology of our brains is what he means, the chemistry of our minds. For example, empathy comes from our evolution. It shouldnt be controversial th...

I agree. The whole of economics is like that, pretty dubious. Its one of those phantoms of society that everyone plays along with because at this poin...

I think the idea is that mental phenomena are subject to bias and subjective limitations which weaken conclusions while if something can be confirmed ...

I remmber that, pretty funny. If any white people were offended, then they are looking to be offended, they are acting like children. I dont see why i...

Its not ok to dress up as Mr T?

Thats a bit different. You play dress up, and dress up as different things at a costume party. Its ok for exemple, to dress up as Mr. T and to that en...

Well, your example isnt about speech, but rather action but I suppose it falls under the PC paradigm. So he dressed up at a costume party as what? A b...

Because being able to declare something unpleasant or offensive is easy, it completly subjective, anyone can be offended by anything and if you allow ...

You are making the most sense, but I suspect it doesnt matter.

Are you sure? Im pretty chill already...what is it about my post that was not “chill”?

Yes, not all. No need to point that out since A) I didnt claim it was all teachers and B) even if I had specifically mentioned teachers I wouldnt be t...

Agreed, unfortunatly that baloney is being taught in universities and schools, to the young minds that are shaping our world these days.

It depends on if you are talking about intolerant speech, or intolerant actions. Intolerant speech is an unfortunate by-product of free speech, and fr...

I dont think your quite getting it. If the point at which you are on the issue is figuring out what “PC” means, you need to do more research. Take a l...

You seem to have missed my point entirely. “PC” are rules about what you can and cannot say. It is the attempt to force people to talk in a certain wa...
