We can't speak of libertarians in a vacuum, otherwise we tread on the borderline of anarchy. Libertarianism is best understood when contrasted with th...

Are you suggesting that individual-collective is a false dichotomy?

Great point. It is very interesting how frenetic the mind can become. It is unfortunate that neuroscience and psychology are confined to a determinist...

Religion is great strategy. I have also heard of unvaccinated people who identify as a person who is vaccinated. Where will it end?

There you go, making wild accusations that I am going around infecting people with covid. Where is your hard evidence that I am doing that? If we proc...

Likewise, there is no force in the world that can convince you to reject some data that you want to accept.

What we are talking about here with the law making process, is the individual's right to choose for himself whether to accept or decline the covid vac...

First let us be clear about what we are talking about with "narrative". Since I introduced the term to the conversation, I should better define it. It...

Okay, forgive me for implying you are fascist. Wait a sec ... what law is that? That is fascist. What about the constitutionally established process o...

Are you aware of the "scientific method"? It does not dictate how individuals "should" behave. Narrative is entirely interpretive. Yes, it is just ano...

The prevailing sentiment of our generation - shameful at best.

No, I'm savagely honest. And the only thing that has deflated is your argument. Let me ask (even though I know you won't answer) are you simply regurg...

The data must convince me. If it does not, it needs to do a better job of creating a believable narrative. If you are so gullible as to be easily conv...

So you are in favor of the individual's right to choose? What are we arguing about then? Do you mean that when you say: Are you not implying that ther...

We all know about the inflated statistics concerning covid fatalities, don't be naive. Plus, dead people don't have a say.

Yes, that the constitution supports the right of the individual to choose for himself whether or not to accept or decline the vaccine. Who is the fina...

The bill of rights will also be hard to get around. Even if those rights are conditional, they are still constitutional facts that cannot be ignored. ...

That makes sense. So then language and ethics being both created, does that mean that ethics is built into language, and that any time we speak there ...

How do we distinguish between them? When I try to make sense of it, all I can think about is chicken and egg

I can accept that. Then the question becomes, how much of reality is created, and how much is discovered? But the more important question is: how do w...

Is the mind creating it (like an artist), or is the mind discovering it (like an explorer)? We may never know the answer.

Nitpicking, eh? Well, I was using "constitution" liberally. I'll try to be more precise in the future. Concerning the video, nice speech. Best quote, ...

I'll check it out and respond. Thanks

I would say a democratic state is the result of the choices of many communities. Nevertheless, the pertinent question is: how do we determine and meas...

I like when points are made clearly and directly, I respond much better. Thank you for that, and please excuse me for stringing you along with my bull...

But you made no point, other than indicating that you're a pervert.

I can post the security cam pictures and make him famous

And the scale has never been greater, it is global. It's really incredible.

No wonder there is a bed shortage in hospitals, each of those fatties must require 5-6 beds minimum

isn't that the truth. One thing youll notice is that most of the idiots that have bought into the covid hysteria are hard line democrats. Personally, ...

Yes, we will all be soviet nazis when the dust settles. The rest wil be in concentration camps. I wish I could bet that in vegas

Do you mean you'd like to fuck my mailbox?

I can accept that we are dependent on community, in a symbiotic manner. But the community and the state are not the same thing. Any state that is a tr...

I like that, lol. Thanks for the clarification

I've always considered Texas as a kind of convict colony. But if we are going to use bombs, I prefer neutron.

More like, in a different direction. And in certain democratic states which hold the protecting the right of the individual to be the primary concern ...

Never? Ever? Seems to me that every choice begins with the self. From there we can begin extending out choices to others when applicable. But, it is n...

I'm not so sure about that. If covid is a matter of qualia, it is indeed a matter of life and death. And at this point, we are standing at the edge of...

no one in our time believes in tyranny. It's a recipe for great tragedy

Just because you choose to be vaccinated doesn't necessitate that you should require everyone else to. For example, If one respects the right of the i...

Yes, okay: Power as the ability to influence others. I will re assess the op

Not true. Aztecs? Iroquois? Africans? But I don't care about that. I really want to know what mr. unenlightened means when he says:

It is impossible for TheMadFool to offend merkwuerdich

Just to clarify, (I am not trying to be antagonistic here) but it is not vegetarianism, but veganism that refuses to eat "animal products" in general....

Yes, of course. I am mistaken.

I think you need a more definitive thesis here...however, I will add: outside of choosing for one's self, the individual is powerless, and ultimately ...

Is that the pc term for carnivore?

btw, you never adressed the general concern about your hope for the indiscriminate vaccination of everybody on earth. The concern is: it is very naive...

How long until a person can identify as vaccinated and be considered a valid exemption?
