I thought you didn't want to call every positive physical attribute a privilege? I think Asif is right when he says intelligent people shouldn't be ma...

Good question, there is no real answer to this. I am not one to take a nice act as just a nice act, there are simply too many benefits to being nice, ...

If we forget terminology then sure, I agree with what you're saying. I believe there are differences between men and women and taking these into accou...

I like how you think Asif, true, it is not more important to be attractive than everything else, many things matter more. Being attractive carries man...

I don't believe we should ignore the truth for our psychological wellbeing and I don't fail to recognise that there are consequences for these things ...

Well said, it is not common for me to find someone who understands this. Are you not commenting on me bringing this up with someone who self-describes...

You are totally missing the point, @"Asif" shows he is not missing the point and countered your characterisation with a characterisation of his own. Y...

I am already significant.

I don't consider myself to be on the right. I have different opinions on different things and who I happen to agree with is not usually of interest to...

Well, I understand where you're coming from and I'm not really saying you're wrong just that I'm not sure to what extent you're right. In any case, tr...

You have not accepted your position as the epicentre of your universe, you who dictate meaning and you who interpret and characterise all things. Your...

It's important not to get trapped in the language here, yes the leftist framing of privilege uses the word privilege but it's not talking about what y...

I think this topic is discussed a lot because even though racism might not be something many of us encounter nor something we ourselves are guilty of,...

I agree with the main theme of what you had to say, though I wonder if your views aren't a bit Eurocentric, slavery also predates white supremacy. I a...

Well, that is true based on your experience... the very thing that will end once you die. What you believe while you're alive can be evaluated in any ...

There is no great revelation to be had by knowing the conceptualisation of privilege in so far as people are born with advantages over others. This is...

There is no existential nihilism here, I am happy to live in the world the way it is but my truth must take precedence over fantasies and other concep...

When you die the universe will be sucked into the abyss and nothingness will reign for eternity.

No, it quite clearly isn't going anywhere, virtuous things are virtuous end of story.

I'm interested to hear this argument, I've yet to.

Err true, it is the antithesis of OP, I got confused between posters. What kind of argument is that Banno, the conceptualisation of privilege is good ...

Pity, I thought you could do better.

Truth vs Framing vs Interpretation, it is not a matter of listening, recognising and understanding. Leftist wrap themselves in their sympathies, compa...

The question isn't an implied accusation? Then it is simply a terrible question, it is like asking "would you like to be harassed and unfairly impriso...

Your point of view doesn't have a monopoly on sympathy towards the oppressed or hatred towards unfairness. You are not in a position to question my sy...

I am aware.

That's pretty much the same question I just refused to answer.

Yes, why don't you spell out for me what your question is trying to insinuate?

That's not a serious question, it's a dishonest one.

How to refer to the groups of race, gender and sexual orientation? They're characteristics and relatively meaningless ones at that. Their meaning, the...

"Privilege" is quite simply a far-leftist framing that doesn't make too much sense without the leftist brand of identity politics. Where gender, race ...

Admitting you are depressed isn't that different from saying that you have a kind of physical wound, of course, people are going to recommend that you...

Moral relativists have complete freedom, there are no real logical conclusions that can be drawn from it. It is absolutely possible to be the most big...

I can dislike PC without liking the practices of other people who dislike it, I see what you're saying but PC has real meaning, that meaning to me has...

Yes, but is morality nurtured by cultures and philosophy from nothing or is morality a component of human nature? I am not sure morality is something ...

Identity politics has real meaning, political correctness has real meaning, as does the term progressive, the rest are just slurs and not real terms. ...

Morality can be philosophised about - like anything but do you believe morality is a philosophical position, is that what morality is? Is it a belief ...

That's a question less to do with political correctness as an ideology and more as political correctness as a force that can exert influence over me. ...

What's the bad side of being courteous towards other human beings? Nothing. What's the bad side of political correctness? Controlling language, cancel...

What do you think morality is? A philosophical position? A psychopath is someone who just disagrees with normal philosophical stances people decided o...

Unsubstantiated premise, naive view of entrepreneurship and your ideas about what a philosopher is cannot be characterised as "what philosophers claim...

I think freedom of the press is important, when you look at a country like China, they have their own set of problems due to a lack of freedom in thei...

I think that when it comes to issues like manipulative news reporting, it does come down to what one thinks about the average listener. Many times whe...

I get what you mean, honestly, to some extent that's actually what is needed in some cases. The correct understanding of the Vietnam war as one exampl...

I mean that the content creator gets ads on their channel without creating a contract with the company paying for the ad because their contract is thr...

I completely agree with your sentiments about the daily news. I'm really into documentaries rather than news, though I do get news in my youtube feed ...

Yeah, I did read that after you mentioned it, it's interesting. I would have thought that was the solution but I am becoming more convinced that the i...

Well the matter of intelligence agencies is definitely interesting because by their nature, they need secrecy but that means doing it behind the backs...
