Anyways, @"Michael" @"3017amen" In light of the content of the Whistleblower complaint, the content of which has of course been known to the White Hou...
You find it hilarious to observe the separation of powers and respect foreign sovereignty? Attention readers, this is a false statement. In fact most ...
But how are the ethics of scientific research related to the amount of knowledge? It seems to me the ethics would be the same regardless of the level ...
I wouldn't make such a definitive statement. My few words were just a brief, back of the envelope kind of description. What I meant to hint at is that...
Arguably, allegiance to a party is less tribal than allegiance to a person. Power in tribal societies is based on personal power, whereas parties repr...
What would this follow from? Those dangers are heavily influenced by political and economic factors, so I think it's difficult to make an assessment s...
So, do you think there is a meaning of rationality outside the narrow procedural sense? Or would you use a more general term like "reason"? If we take...
Interesting association. I disagree with calling it "objective", but it is connected to rationality. I have said elsewhere that I think the difference...
Rationality is a fundamentally contested term, so it's difficult to give a clear answer. In terms of purely instrumental rationality, it's not irratio...
In what way are my examples inadequate, precisely? It's not, because the things that are "valued by me" include more than just my moral values. One is...
Thanks! You're right that there are more problems with the statement than just that the second premise is modal. I only realized the issue with the in...
Right, and there is a reason for that. I, like you, am ignorant of the specifics of anything other than simple predicate logic, but it's important to ...
Are you aware that there are different systems of formal logic, and not all operations are permissible in all systems? Do you know what the term "moda...
Funnily enough, the insistence that one is an independent thinker is also part of the brand. But I'm not expecting you to give me a straight answer an...
But your definition of socially liberal is different from that of people you call "progressives". So, what's your take on Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peters...
It's a specific interpretation of "liberalism" that is popular among mostly young men. The leading figures are people like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peter...
So, the White House released a transcript of the call, in which Trump specifically asks the president of Ukraine to do him a "favour" and restart inve...
The other threads received more amiable responses though, but there was no further engagement. I am no expert, but I would assume the notion that ” th...
As an aside, I wonder what's up with the OP, posting three topics on feminism in quick succession, all with a very similar structure, and then apparen...
I can trivially name 10 important ruling men from history. I assume so can you. That should suggest something about the historical power structures to...
I think it would, however, be mistaken to blame the oppression of women on the rise of christianity (or any specific religion). Women were essentially...
But do the different ways differ (meta-difference) between black men and women and white men and women? Intersectionality only seems to have a genuine...
Just who was "using" the intelligence apparatus, and to what purpose, according to you? I'd ask for evidence as well but I know I won't get any. Yes. ...
You're conveniently ignoring the role of a certain person, whose name starts with T, in throwing Ameircan politics into disarray. If Trumps actions ha...
The question that comes to mind is how valuable it is for feminism to be intersectional? Can strutcural issues facing other minorities not be resolved...
Oh I do care, you just don't have any evidence, and your conjectured story is contradicted by the documented efforts of the russian state to get Trump...
Oh so now opposition research by the DNC was also a secret operation by the Russian intelligence services, who tried to undermine Trump while at the s...
Whatever are ”russian sourced active measures"? Look at you using Trump's propaganda speak. It's not the nation of origin that matters. It's about wor...
Where else would our perceptions reside? Presumably, you don't intend to equate the outside world with any single set of perceptions, so we still need...
No. There was evidence (lots of it) that Trump's campaign was involved with russian agents. Trump and various members of his campaign where caught lyi...
There was no Russian collusion hoax. There was an investigation. It found that the efforts of Trump's campaign fell short of criminal collision. You'r...
So you agree it's a false equivalence? Obviously, because it implying otherwise fits your agenda. So your standard for an "incestous relationship" (ni...
There are no "our standards". There is you, employing your entire arsenal of rhetoric to defend Trump, and there is the rest of us. Your insistence th...
You ran out of things to spin, so now it's deflection: "hey look at these other people, maybe they are bad, too". Honestly, I am a bit disappointed yo...
So the "House of Islam" suppresses information, that Trump has, in order to safe Islam, but also the information doesn't matter because Muslims will n...
The "information" is actually freely available. There are entire books written on the subject. Also: The style of your post suggests you're suffering ...
The usual whataboutism. But Clinton did a thing! Now it's just "speaking" and not using US funds in military aid as leverage. The spin machine in acti...
You don't get that the executive is not supposed to influence criminal investigations, either domestic or abroad, especially not when high-profile pol...
Oh, are we already changing the narrative from "we're investigating an american for the sake of american justice" to "we're combatting corruption abro...
What I originally said was that it's clear what "conscious experience" refers to. If I am drunk I am still conscious, but not when I am asleep. I am a...
It would be, but I didn't dismiss it. Probably because Trump controls the State Department, so we can't assume the State Dept. is a neutral player her...
That article set off so many red flags I googled the author. Guess what type of bias he is known for? Anyways, the state dept is part of the executive...
