No. I can see it, you can see it, even @"NKBJ" can see it. So if someone feels something such that anybody can well understand how they would feel it,...
No I didn't. I noted that it related to the feelings and motivation of the actor, and not the feelings of the recipient of their action. I even commen...
Think I would say unconsciousness and infancy are more primary. The analogy is appropriate to the feelings of the person the receiving end, rather tha...
Well I hope at least you can see that these are two different issues. Generally, the right to refuse treatment is fairly fundamental, such that treatm...
But now you are not talking about euthanasia at all, but about forcible treatment against one's will on the grounds presumably of mental incompetence....
People who bought this book also bought a handy keyring bottle-opener. According to Amazon. :smile: Here's something a bit peripheral ... https://huma...
Sorry. To reassure you, it was a joke, intended to suggest that this is a silly trollish topic. I used to take my daughter swimming, and there is a de...
Sure, and we only know that we have been deceived when we are undeceived. Nevertheless, we must trust each other or live alone. And we understand that...
No, not at all. Well I am talking about something, that I am calling trust. Here's the thing; I know that I am not competent, and do not anyway have t...
If anyone is still following, here is some more stuff. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jun/02/stephen-porges-interview-survivors-are-blamed-p...
Well I don't know how it is for you, but if I am a bit lost, I will ask a total stranger the way to the station, or whatever and totally trust that th...
I don't understand. Do you think institutions are the kind of thing that is capable of trusting or distrusting? I say it is the reverse, that people t...
No, the opposite; no one is entitled to anyone's trust. Yes, in so far as one trusts, which may be as far as one can throw or some other extent, there...
Well I simply recount anecdotally that the zeitgeist round here has changed in that direction. But there have always been and still are politicians th...
No ,it is possible to be unsocial, like pandas are, but if there are social relations, they depend on trust, in the same way that language depends on ...
The astute reader will have noticed that this is by way of a critique of Machiavelli. The king, the corporate director, the hedge fund manager, the po...
Well in a way, if we can persuade ourselves that this is important to our lives, that we can trust politicians and officials the way we have to (even ...
Similarly, t.here is a rule that you cannot print your own money. And that establishes legal tender as something that ought to be trustworthy, and obl...
No. Trust cannot be earned. You may have turned down 40 pieces of silver to betray me, but what about 60? One has never quite earned it. But to enforc...
Strawpolitician, you have there. Anyone is entitled nay obligated to change their plans as circumstances change. Think matters of fact. As per my prev...
I'd like to try, anyway. I gave a link in the op to the Open Learning site. It is a source I trust, both academically and politically. I trust them, n...
Please don't talk about Trump, and please don't talk about communism and capitalism in this thread. Please talk about TRUST, and the importance of tel...

There is a bit of a problem. If there is evidence that reality is an illusion, then the evidence is equally illusory. In which case there is no eviden...
Dunno what you're saying, dude. I'm saying that one can change one's mind, and I'm saying that what happened at one time doesn't have to happen every ...
Indeed. That is the first principle; that response to trauma are necessary defences and aids to survival. To take an obvious example, a soldier in a t...
Excessive? I suppose that means 'more than I want to defer'. And that depends, personally speaking, on how and who the other is. I call this being res...
May I enquire what's wrong with pleasing people? I think I'd like it if people spent more time pleasing each other and less time making each other mis...
Yes. one can describe the process, and I have done so in this thread. A cry of alarm comes to be understood by others as indicating danger, and then t...
Not entirely, but for most of us, mostly. A surgeon, or a bricklayer, or a philosopher has hopefully a real skill that makes a real identity, but even...
First sentence is fine. but how can the suggestion be made until we have agreed that 'name' and 'suggestion' mean what we agree they do? And when I sa...
That will have been me at least; and Alice Miller. Drama in the sense of the narrative of the dramatis personae; in this sense, identity is drama - th...
There is tacit agreement. And there must be in relation to language, because the agreement has to be there before anything like a thesis could be stat...
It's also fine for academic institutions, serious newspapers, government advice panels and so on. Even public libraries need to have some quality cont...

Surprisingly little. Because the Uk government still has to make a decision, unless the EU finally runs out of patience. Somehow I don't see a few Bre...
'We don't allow it ' means there is a rule against it. The rule of rules. Here we are - the rule of non-contradiction. Everyone agrees because disagre...
