It's not the same. Calling atheist religious is an error because the former excludes the latter. To be equivalent, I would have to be saying claiming ...
I'm just saying "no gender" is just as much a category as "gender." Rebecca is not escaping the use of categories which may be used by myth in social ...
It means Rebecca's attack on gender is a performative contradiction. To have "no gender" isn't a way of escaping a category which enables such myth ba...
My reference to "social constraint' was referring to the various constraining social practices which are supposedly done because of gender. Trying to ...
Good my point is exact opposite then. Gender (or no gender) is not a constraint. In terms of an identity, there is no body, behaviour, dress, etc. tha...
Yes, I agree gender not meaningless, my point was that "no gender" is on the same level. I meant "meaningless" in terms a constraint. Just as there is...
Yes, I suspected that. A distinction between a casual discussion area and in-depth posting is fine. My thoughts were more directed at the specific con...
Rebecca's assertion of "no gender" no less involves a gender-related category than an assertion someone is "male" or "female." We might ask here the s...
I suspect they meant "academic" in the sense of having knowledge, study, understanding of philosophical topics. What does it look like in terms of phi...
I'm not sure how much policy can effect that. Unless you outright ban politics or limit it daily discussion (which users will definitely not appreciat...
As someone who has greatly reduced my participation (for various reasons), I feel quality issues are coming more from the interests and behaviour from...
I'm not merely playing with words. Error is your concepts are my target. I'm pointing out logical different/facts about the meanings of sex and the bo...
The deeper performative contradiction is that no gender/gender is a meaningless is an identity category. Rebecca is getting up to say people have an i...
Categorisation isn’t an issue. People categorise things all the time. Many categorisations are true. My position isn’t against categories. I’m talking...
I wasn't thinking you were denying bodies are what they are (though you might do so if I was to talk about some intersex bodies). My point the idea of...
I think the act of "questioning" us dubious itself because it has no aim knowledge. The challenge of "How do you know you are right?" only has cutting...
They do have a drastic effect(all human events, actually, given that any human reposes involves their body reacting), just not the sort of of essentia...
Our alternative is realising we are movement. Movement isn't a goal to be achieved, it's already given in moment. We don't need to burdened with a gho...
I'm referring to Schopenhauer's pessimism. Deep down, he cannot accept a human life might be and just be terrible. He's still got a notion it's our de...
The irony is will is chasing itself into being. At heart it still hopes with a Pollyanna fervour. Somewhere, beyond and over the distant rainbow, we h...
I think you are missing my point of the analogy. The "work" of entropy doesn't depend on humans undergoing suffering of striving. If we accept that su...
The implications aren't very great. Entropy is almost a metaphysical notion. Knowing we are (a part) of a system that moves towards an end tells us ex...
I'm going to be bold: I think such comparisons are more or less a version of the "hypocrisy argument." When someone uses such a comparison to try to c...
That's not a failure to respect nature. It's a moral failing of failing to take into account how crops would grow in the environment, against the advi...
"Evolved naturally" is a meaningless ethical standards observation beacause that's true of all actions and systems, all being human actions formed out...
Well, more of less yes... this is an important point in regards to reasoning about ethics. Just because someone does something terrible, it doesn't me...
I guess my issue is more I'd consider everyone one the site in that category. The relevant between myself, SX or Bittercrank and such a new poster is ...
I don't think it does. People ignore guidelines all time. I mean its fine for transmitting information about the guidelines and putting in place the p...
I find the idea a bit questionable from an activity point of view. If a post is so incoherent, esoteric or lacking in quality that it runs afoul of th...
I tend to avoid those sorts of propositional relations in this context because they try to set out identity as a language rule (e.g. "Trump is the pre...
It's a bad description. In those instances, the conflict is between one's existing body and a sense of body one belonging to. The specific connection ...
I should go back trough the questions to try and clarify where I think you are going wrong. 1. isn't a metaphysical question. You are asking whether d...
For sure, but I don't think anyone was arguing statements weren't meaningful without verification. Carnap certainly isn't trying to make that point in...
My point is we cannot tell. The question of trying to verify such a claim is meaningless. It not longer makes sense to ask: "What is the verified answ...
What is the relevance of such a question? In effect, it ignoring it's own insight. It takes an instance we know to be unverifiable... then supposes to...
The OP seems okay to me, just a bit impenetrable without a certain background. It's taking about how we consider knowledge in relation to our experien...
Spinoza ia not a pantheist. He's more or less the opposite: an acosmist. For Spinoza, God is defined by the infinite nature not found in anywhere else...
I would say the line of questioning is off. What's the difference between "universal talk of something" and just regular talk of something? They would...
Well, that's where Hume diverges, and correctly so. There is nothing necessitatng any ball or window will have the same strength, etc. and form the gi...
Yes, I know. I assumed for the discussion context you we relating "see" in the context of realising a casual relationship from our observations of the...
The trouble with this account is it is rectifying abstraction as creative. Supposedly, if someone was to take the step of rejecting the primacy of uni...
Hume's identification is of logic, causality is a meaning/concept, but one which is about things that exist, experiences and whats they encounter. (as...
It's rubbish because we are defined by our seperation from other things. The issue isn't that our experiences are somehow seperate from the world (and...
Such an account is already making the error of nihilism. It supposes value is absent only to come from someone or something else's assessment. There i...
The "slave morality" aspect lies not in an absence of worldly power, but in the falsehood that it is otherworldly. Whether we are speaking about the G...
Depends what you mean. If you that it's God who is a way to meaning is dead, sure. Nietzsche's account doesn't have a problem with any sort of being a...
Within the context of Christianity, the best way to show the difference in kind is consider fallen Earth. In transcedent account, fallen Earth is cons...
That's not really accurate to what he is talking about in his notions of slave morality vs master morality. In the concept, he's not talking about dom...
