I don't expect kindness from someone I'm mocking but you made a thread about a moral question and your answer is that you're an incorruptible saint. Y...
It is not true that my views are "anti-human", I'm guessing your answer shows what you think the correct answer is. Money isn't just some abstraction ...
Lol, 100m is super excessive, I would leave the guy on the tracks for much, much less. I don't think this question is necessarily as worthless as peop...
Some people might not take that risk and that's fine, instead, they just stop interacting with that person. It is unlikely that anyone will get physic...
I wouldn't enable racist behaviour but I would tolerate someone I knew had racist views, provided that they acted in a respectable manner. It's better...
I think you are describing procrastination, which is not a symptom of patience. Patience generally refers to the ability to overcome or tolerate emoti...
Aggression is normal, but this thread is about a specific kind of aggression with a specific kind of motivation. Complaining makes someone weak and ju...
Z is weak and stupid because he is aggressive? Or because he is motivated by the inferences he can make when being aggressive? Can someone really beco...
I see. I don't dislike your philosophy, humans certainly are both sometimes X and sometimes Y. Not that aggression necessarily focuses on things like ...
I don't really know that you're talking about the same thing as I... I think whether the aggressor is "justified" does not depend on whether an indivi...
The hierarchy exists in the mind of the aggressor, whether it exists in any other form or not. Well, I am not trying to argue that all forms of hostil...
I don't know about this, sometimes I question whether the anger demonstrated is a real motivation or part of an act which reinforces a particular way ...
If Y is the quality of being either (strong/wise) and X is (weak/stupid) then consider that Z is the individual who is motivated to aggression by infe...
And some languages don't even have gendered pronouns, as though we just said "it" about everyone and everything. My opinion on this matter is that gen...
As I mentioned, things like controlling your emotions fall outside the scope of philosophy. Intellectually recognising an imperative is one thing, act...
I understand. I share your views but I see the gap between those who think like us and those who disagree as stemming from mostly this enjoyment and i...
If someone said playing team sports has helped them with communication, trust, teamwork, work ethic, the importance of planning and etc, that's fair. ...
Philosophy is mostly a recreational activity, discussing subject matter which is ill-positioned to produce any positive effects in one's life whatsoev...
From Ecce Homo 1908 “The Transvaluation of all Values, this is my formula for mankind's greatest step towards coming to itssenses—a step which in me b...
Even without the sensory faculties, your ability to experience hunger & thirst, emotions, your hormonal operations would not be compromised and so on....
It matters because you have argued many times in this thread about how absolutism has pragmatic advantages such as protecting us against oppression an...
Open-mindedness and discipline. The two characteristics really compliment each other, if I only knew a person was open-minded and disciplined, I'd fav...
If someone told Mussolini murder was objectively wrong, would he not laugh in their face? You brought up Mussolini to give an example of a moral relat...
It is essential to realise that "oppression" is not always referring to the same thing. If person A and person B agree oppression is wrong but person ...
Moral Absolutism claims that an understanding of morality can be factually correct. If I determine methods for proving the correctness of moral positi...
Many of the problems you've brought up with moral relativity are intellectually sound based on the belief but do not take into account the social, eco...
People naturally recognise hierarchies and think in hierarchical terms and fail to agree to a non-hierarchical structure. It's not just about actually...
Yes, Nazi Germany is a much better comparison to modern China than comparing it to Mao's China or Stalin's Soviet Union because Nazi Germany was an ad...
That is life to some extent, however, first, "it is the journey which matters, not the destination", sometimes acquiring things in of itself is enjoya...
It is about correctly labelling China, nobody is trying to change them with labels. The CCP resembles something like Nazi Germany, an advanced capital...
You can't refute the idea that China isn't communist by saying they're socialist because these two things aren't the same. China is a mixed economy wi...
China is not communist and for many of the same reasons that the US did not want communism to spread, China should not want communism either. They wan...
Race directly impacts appearence, like eye colour, hair colour, bone structure, height and so on. In this day and age, with internet dating being the ...
Morality is an unavoidable biological reality, created by hormones, emotions and psychology. Morality justifies itself to the intellect, just like, se...
Maybe it is semantics but I don't think what matters is whether the comments are true but what it means for the comments to be true. The intentions of...
It mostly depends on how the belief in another's "simplicity" is articulated or conveyed. If I said, "wow, you've got life figured out, x, y and z, th...
The reason things are the way they are now is basically due to the news media. The main ways for people to "know" the world has been corrupted, the ne...
The keyword here is only, does a chair only exist as a belief? No, a chair is a physical object that can be touched and seen. When we are dealing with...
If something is "quite obvious", does that mean it is no longer possible for it to exist only as a judgement? It does mean something but not that. The...
There are many areas where we have people assume moral responsibility where it really hasn't helped. Drug addiction, obesity, poor performance in scho...
Besides the parts of your arguments which are demonstrably incorrect, which you did not even try to defend further, you've got "perhaps" and "think ab...
Says you? Anyone can have a reason for doing anything that they fucking please, it doesn't matter if it makes sense to you. I can choose to live becau...
You are just saying that what I'm saying does not apply to you, only others, which again, is very normal. That you think you see the truth while other...
That kind of censorship doesn't exist here, even though there's no question where most moderators sit on the political spectrum, they debate and argue...
