I dont see the contradiction. Some things are more important to some people than “cultivating optimal agency/well-being via conduct and relationships”...
Well you gave me an extreme scenario, so I answered in that context. It seems to me your reason for not eating your dog is based on a revulsion of how...
Oh. Well thanks. The flaw with most ethical systems is the assumption that being moral is ones highest priority imo, when really for most people its m...
I do have a pet, and I would eat it to survive. I also have kids so they would get the dog burgers first, followed by dad burgers if it meant them sur...
I dont see why either position/lifestyle needs to be justified. If youre asking whether “emoti-intellectual capacity” is a justification for either po...
Teach common man enough self control and foresight not to empower corporations with their slave-like devotion to materialism. Start with getting peopl...
Good point, but the certainty still wouldnt make the choice predetermined. The knowledge of what happens does not effect the outcome of what happens. ...
Just because you know what someone will choose doesnt make the choice predetermined. Would you rather have your eyeballs pulled from their sockets wit...
This thread is a waste of time. Consult a dictionary Sushi. You leave me no choice but to put you in my Bad Box for 1 month. I will not respond in any...
Right, an important distinction for this discussion thank you. My understanding is gender is the way you feel about your sex, and sex being the biolog...
Well thats what you are doing when you categorize by sex, as I said all the traits you use would end up being the male ones for many sports. Its a poi...
I wouldn't imagine so, no. Of course, no ones talking abouts balls but you. Fast twitch muscle fiber, testosterone during puberty and other such facto...
There already are useful ways of measuring innate ability for the purpose of sports, one such way is by sex. Also your way of thinking does nothing to...
Your suggested criteria match exactly the advantages males have in most sports. Apparently they are precise enough. Depends on the sport of course, bu...
He lives an extra 30 days every time someone says “he’s going to jail” and he doesnt go to jail. Currently clocked at 600 more years. But seriously, a...
Whats pedantic is focusing on the word “absolute” instead of the clear intention of the OP. Again, everyone else understood what the OP meant and only...
How do you figure other people were able to answer the question and have dialogue about it if its like impossible to answer? Be less pedantic and try ...
No you dont, you can check out any time you’d like. I think if you wanted to be dead you would be. You don’t really want to check out though do you? W...
Efficiency is ONE of the goals of the market. Again, efficiency is not mutually exclusive with morality (fair exchange of goods.) Its both. Additional...
Some of those rules overlap with morality, so I do not agree that playing by the rules is the most you can morally claim. The fact there are rules in ...
This is what I was asking about. Why are you denying morality can be a part of it like economics and legality? Im not following how your responses ans...
Why cant it be economical, legal AND moral. Those are not mutually exclusive so why cant it be all 3? Why are you excluding the moral aspects? It woul...
Idealism is believing that reality needs minds in order to exist, solipsism is believing that only your own mind exists. They differ in the implicatio...
Ok. So why remain in the dugout? Are you holding out hope that the political system will change? Also, what forces other than voting would result in t...
True voting isnt synonymous with politics, but I would say its a necessary part of the political system in Canada or the US. Aren’t you opting out of ...
So…move? It sounds like you want to opt out of the system. Whats the dilemma exactly? Is refusing to vote a viable political position? No. Its a posit...
Im not sure they do share common purpose. Creationism is an ad hoc justification for biblical writings, an effort to explain contradictions with what ...
There may be specific ways of being treated they may not want (not sharing a taste in music or some S&M shit) but pushing that treatment on them would...
I agree with you, Im just not sure what answer you are looking for with “what if”…we would have to adjust our models in physics I would think, lest we...
Or parallel universes to this one, sure. I dont see why not but “what if?”? Ya suppose if there were other universes before this one we would need to ...
Why couldn't there be more than one instance of space time? If it starts with a big bang then ends with something else then why couldn't each such spa...
Indeed, and I addressed this already and why its not a valid defence for your position. You said commandments can be overridden…says you? What justifi...
It is your claims about the wisdom of the bible we are discussing is it not? Anyway, the point is that if they are laws from god and god is wise then ...
L Ok but then you are talking about a rule/law with no wisdom in it aren’t you? Edited to add: Also, you DID say it was a judgement from god. Isnt god...
I understand, I’m just choosing something specific so we have direct context for this discussion. Ok, so if it isnt part of the wisdom then I wonder A...
Is the bibles edict to kill people who are gay part of its wisdom? Im not asking about whether the edict can be proved in a religious court, I AM aski...
