I spoke with Carlos, that conversation is here on this thread.

Carlos doesn't see privilege as "being about" anything than the truth, naive as it sounds. At least he is capable of articulating an argument for it t...

I would say you are taking your argument in a poor direction, the claim that someone can be born as someone else is made by an adult, the onus is on t...

Let me be clear, I agree with what you have said but that is not a fair description of my opposition to the privilege framing. I have not described it...

If all you want to do is promote awareness of how a lack of ramps is deeply inconvenient to people who can't use stairs then surely, you can do that w...

There is basically no step in the process of ending the advantages that you are talking about that fits anything like the description of "recognising ...

That is a good summary of my position. I would only caution against trying to equate the narrative of privilege with reality, I do not wish to conflat...

If I say that "I don't like bob", that's not something I put a truth value on but if you ask "is it true you don't like bob" I will say yes. So, it is...

Those answers rejected aren't being described as untrue, they're being judged in other ways. An emotional argument like "it is horrible to see someone...

Okay. Finding agreement is easy Banno, you will find that on this forum I have argued for dramatically increased economic redistribution, argued again...

When did the discussion ever become about what @"Banno" can or can't live with? Was that something of interest to you?

What have you said that wasn't hostile or aggressive? Besides the pernicious ideology you peddle and all of its unpleasantness, you yourself have done...

I do not know who he is trying to fool, his political prerogatives are obvious but he feigns ignorance and continues to confuse fact with opinion, hon...

I am surprised that the UK and Germany are as close as they are in aid contribution, I wouldn't have guessed that. Thanks for displaying these graphs,...

It is a characterisation of what it means to be able to use the stairs, which is why when you said that "You might simply acknowledge that stairs prev...

I have noticed a trend with you Banno, you do this in many of the arguments you make. You take a small set of facts or reasonable points and use them ...

Honestly, I use meta-ethical relativism to say that moral positions don't have a truth value, they're not objectively true. When I read meta-ethical u...

Not necessarily, to intelligently talk about morality we need to break it down into smaller bits, otherwise, disagreements get bogged down in the same...

I think it is very human to ignore a stranger's suffering, out of sight out of mind as they say. It is also very human for instance to want to minimis...

Well I would say both descriptive and meta-ethical moral relativism is true. Nihilism has a similar problem where people project their interpretations...

The reason I reject "common reasoning" is that morality is not based on reasoning, a psychopath is not someone who thinks differently, they're wired d...

I see. Normative moral relativism just seems to be an interpretation of what to do because of moral relativism. I have complained in the past that for...

Fair point, I view all characterisations as subjective and moral or immoral are there too. I don't believe the distinction matters for the topic but y...

There are certainly a lot of people who confuse US social issues with a geopolitical downfall. The GDP of the US keeps increasing, which means a more ...

He really is the definition of a bigot, a word which has used a lot where it shouldn't be but its apt here. That quote you've given is definitely one ...

You disagree with me and then validate me, it is rather bizarre. You are simply mediocre, all you can do is angrily raise your fists at me and nothing...

If suffering is objectively bad and someone disagrees then you are saying that they are factually incorrect. If the person who disagrees approaches su...

Tim wood, I have posted honestly and you have insulted, mocked and judged me unfavourably. You cannot reasonably disagree with my position if you do n...

What do you think I am trying to say there? Do not ask for clarification, that question comes before judgement not after.

All that is clear to me is that you don't understand what you're arguing against, there is no possibility of you accurately paraphrasing my opinion, w...

Most of that wiki is idealism, narratives which emphasise the preferences of those philosophers. Perhaps it is indispensable to a form of philosophy b...

I am not really sure, I think reason is reason even if it's not called reason. So, of course people still use reason outside of circumstances where em...

I don't think there's any situation that requires me to choose between the two. I did say that philosophy is not about reason when I meant to say phil...

What kind of situation requires me to choose between the two?

Are you saying you read what I wrote as "I reject reason"?

What?

I didn't put that much thought into my insult. History is paraphrased for convenience, to be used in arguments or positions in a way that makes the ar...

I dictate what is good-willed and what isn't, I dictate when reason is appropriate and when it isn't, reasonableness is what I say it is. My views, st...

I disagree, philosophy is not about reason and this fixation on reason causes people to misunderstand themselves. Your opinions, preferences, moral vi...

I don't believe it is a belief in destiny or karma, I believe it is an issue of how framing can create nonsensical causal arguments. "Americans are do...

You = consciousness and it is an imaginative or theoretical exercise. I think you = consciousness is untrue but that I agreed with you and paraphrased...

I agree with what you have said. I disagree with @"Philosophim", there are in fact profound differences in one's psychology based on how they answer w...

I think that when you investigate how power functions, the types of narratives that @"tim wood" is peddling start to fall apart. I think it is due to ...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending OP, he can take care of himself. Your earlier post is ludicrously stupid, the way you approach history is worse ...

We know the outcome of the past but we know the outcome was reached by people making decisions. I wonder if the future could be viewed this way?

Quite an extraordinarily asinine post. This is the quintessential example of how racial histories justify racism. When you can't see individuals as in...

The language you use has implications outside of the control of your intent, yet nobody has the final say on what the consequences of your language ar...

I don't even know what we're talking about anymore because you before said you didn't want to call just any desirable attribute a privilege but now yo...

All you have done so far is respond to my critique of white privilege by reiterating that black people have been/are unfairly treated and asking me wh...

https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/8870/on-racial-essentialism Here's a nice thread discussing some of those reasons. In this thread, I have be...
