It's just one foot down the rabbit hole of valuing practical benefit over accuracy and validity! It's pretty much the status quo but no argument has t...
What is psychologic? If one's narcissism could be removed so easily then it's not long for this world anyway. The narcissism example is more to portra...
Fair, context is crucial. Though I don't pay attention to how I'm received on the internet, I know nobody cares. As for developing my thinking, I don'...
It makes sense that you brought up cognitive behavioural therapy because of how it is a deep dive into how thoughts can be invalid or detrimental. Thi...
The whole thing with IR groups is that the problem of private property does not exist, not because the existence of private property doesn't exist but...
You're talking about cooperatives as a replacement for capitalism? But that is only a single component of how DR societies are organised, this model c...
I don't disagree with this. In the Stiles paper, he states: 1. Ideal and practiced egalitarianism and generalized reciprocity can only exist with an I...
The difference that struck me while reading the Stiles paper was the issue of property and labour in DR. IR: Proposition 6 - (a) Because of the sharin...
Well said. The only thing I would add is about how "truth" actually functions in our thinking. "Truth" is not unaffected by for example whether someon...
I take your point, by the definition of woke you've explained, there are a wide array of interpretations and behaviours within the "woke" population a...
You've misunderstood me, let me rephrase. Philosophy is both an academic subject and a characteristic of thought. If your thinking has a philosophical...
I will humour it but I am using the terms "narrative, narration, narrator" in non-standard ways, as I've tried to define in OP and this thread. There'...
I think that is pretty much correct, the extent to which the term is affected by one's political persuasions is absurd. Just like many political terms...
Well, even if we forget about the laypeople, different areas of philosophy are discussed in relation to how the government or businesses should handle...
I'm sure you know these things, but I bring them up as premises in my argument and to help you to understand my process. It's not the case that I thin...
I am having difficulty understanding your meaning, unfortunately. I don't actually understand what juxtaposition or ideals you're referring to. The ro...
Information is a product, rigorously studying a single topic doesn't sell as well as a neat, interesting presentation. In-depth philosophy and what yo...
No real need to have a debate about semantics, but if what you call atheism means gnostic atheism and what you call agnosticism means uncertainty with...
Society debates philosophy now more than ever, and people think philosophically now more than ever. It's just that philosophy as a standalone subject,...
Glad you think so, even I recognise that we're talking about a goal that could take hundreds of years to complete, the annihilation or complete wateri...
No, by bias, I meant that we have particular tendencies, opinions, feelings, as opposed to being neutral. Offer improvements and I will edit, I do rec...
I am against compelling others by law or violence to give up on the idea of ethnic histories. The spirit of the ethnic history's retelling matters and...
You represent what makes ethnic histories dangerous, these insane characterisations. If you would prefer, I'm happy to talk about middle eastern polit...
The timeframe of centuries is incorrect, the West has gone from the worst subscribers to ethnic and racial histories to being, at least, appalled by t...
I'm just having a hard time understanding you and so I thought maybe we might be using different definitions. I'm not denying that people with ethnici...
What "nasty" things did I do? Are you not referring to crimes inherited by my ethnicity? You talk in such ways often, it is clear you are not talking ...
So you intend to use the racist philosophies of the past as a compass to guide you as to the correct ways to do things now? When does the West get to ...
Racial and ethnic groups aren't to be talked about as if they were capable of making mistakes, winning battles or committing crimes. Are you still pla...
Change the title, I am not saying that ethnic identities are unethical, I am saying ethnic histories are unethical. The appropriate level of interpret...
I can describe things I don't like without using the term oppression. I just don't agree that oppression means "unfair" and "unjust", if you said thos...
I see, well our main disagreement is based on your definition of atheism. Theism as a proposition is based on belief or faith and is not strictly a cl...
Is oppression synonymous with unfairness and injustice? Then sure... I don't really understand your definition. If I replace "oppression" with "unfair...
I see your point, the West often allows those of an ethnic minority to hold themselves to different standards. The vast majority of Australians would ...
Leftists describe oppression as unfairness and injustice? I'm pretty sure they use my definition. They just say that the group with the power is white...
lol I don't like your definition, I doubt you would even accept describing anything unfair as "oppression". A guy cheats in a race, is that "oppressio...
I'm sure I'd just say similar things as others already have, so I'll leave that be. As for "Arab Christians", I mean, okay. This is like someone debun...
Do you see how the situation in Israel is being exacerbated by the perpetuation of ethnic histories? It doesn't appear you accept Israel is expelling ...
Oppression is not the aggregate of all the bad things that happen to you, but since food is a resource, the deprivation of food can be considered oppr...
Agnosticism means uncertainty as you say, however, since atheism requires a lack of belief, these two are compatible. An agnostic atheist lacks a beli...
So your beliefs, traditions, holidays, mannerisms, language, clothing - whatever you would describe as Jewish culture, it all what, disappears without...
This forum doesn't mod politically, you can make racist arguments here without being modded. Mods will actually call you and your comments racist and ...
So a side-effect of competition is oppression? If a person has a low sexual market value and nobody wants to date them, that's a form of oppression? O...
I understand what you're saying but you're leaving the door open for people to say that oppression can actually be a good thing. I'm not sure if I wan...
Narration includes but is not limited to speaking actual words in your mind. Your attention, for example, is part of how you narrate your world. If yo...
You're giving so much credit to ethnic histories, the role they serve, it doesn't need to be replaced with anything. They should understand themselves...
I acknowledge them as loosely defined ethnicities, I don't acknowledge ethnic histories, beyond a history of how some DNA exists in some region becaus...
There are no "Jewish" people, and it is about you, these are your arguments. The Jewish people don't share possessions, they don't share a history, th...
Bitconnect, is this forum turning you? This sounds like something banno or streetlightx would say... How do you define oppression? What does it mean t...
