And why does a moral premise need to be self-evident for you?
October 26, 2018 at 06:46
Sure; how is the moral premise that killing someone is wrong not self-evident?
October 26, 2018 at 06:45
No, I meant "self-evidence" (your usage) is contradictory with the idea that a moral premise that no one CAN vs. DOES (your usage) disagree with is co...

"Self-evidence" (what is that?) and a moral premise that no one CAN vs. DOES disagree with seem contradictory.
October 26, 2018 at 06:36
How does any of that relate to the moral? At what point do you, personally, feel comfortable introducing the "moral"? What grounds are sufficient for ...
October 26, 2018 at 06:32
Yes. :joke:
October 26, 2018 at 06:31
Well thanks. :up: But what about the intimation, the inlking, or the intuition that goes against mine? Is a materialistic "inkling" an inkling in the ...
October 26, 2018 at 06:30
I don't care about whether it's viewed by someone or other as procedural, because I know, morally, that it's wrong. See how that works? The "procedura...
October 26, 2018 at 06:25
No, if it's a tautology, it's wrong. That's why your argument is wrong.
October 26, 2018 at 06:23
I do agree; the fault in your argument is that you take one, and then say it translates to the other, while admitting that the use of "translates to" ...
October 26, 2018 at 06:21
But why does it always "translate" to the procedural being first? In what way is it first? What does "translate" mean here? Translate literally? Figur...
October 26, 2018 at 06:17
Sure, and so dictionary definitions, then, become even more obsolete, no? The meanings of words become even more fragmentary, not less. I agree that t...
October 26, 2018 at 06:12
To further elucidate what I'm trying to say, your dictionary definition doesn't include "ideas", only persons, except for the word "something" in the ...
October 26, 2018 at 06:05
It's not the same; the desire to eat cake is not the same as the desire for children not to suffer. Your entire conception of the "procedural vs. mora...
October 26, 2018 at 05:58
But here: The first should is moral, and the second is procedural.
October 26, 2018 at 05:33
Valid points; within the context of your response, I think your assessment of my use of bias is valid, but within biases's use on the forum and within...
October 26, 2018 at 05:31
The difference is in the desire: "waking up early" vs. "children not suffering". You may desire to wake up at a certain hour for any number of reasons...

Of course! I don't know; what does creation mean to you? It's a little tough, because it's easy for me answer that question musically; so I'd be inter...

So, ethics are applied, in religion, through commands, etc? Versus philosophy in which no definite ethical command is necessarily made? I.E. the perpe...
August 26, 2018 at 09:13
I dunno if you've demonstrated how you see religion as superior to philosophy in the OP? I'm trying to find it.
August 25, 2018 at 09:38
I'd say it's wise to not presume to know The Truth, but foolhardy to assume you know nothing of it.
August 25, 2018 at 09:31
Weird mod editing just happened here, right? Super weird.
August 12, 2018 at 12:07
No disrespect.
August 12, 2018 at 12:02
Sounds iike a really bad version of a trip that you didn't actually have, no disrespect. :up:
August 12, 2018 at 11:54
Emotionally.
August 12, 2018 at 11:40
Emotionally, are you ok with an afterlife?
August 12, 2018 at 10:54
:fear:
August 12, 2018 at 10:42
Anyone who agrees with that is a monster.
August 10, 2018 at 08:00
Exactly; those chord changes are mine. I was so inspired by this song though, because her melody so strongly suggests a chord progression; It's so rar...
August 10, 2018 at 07:31
I like the poem. I mean this in the worst possible way, but the rhythm reminds me of the sort of stuff I write. This person seems to have a better sen...
August 10, 2018 at 07:15
Oof. Thanks! Sadly I had more to do with the moments where the drones are broken by actual chord progressions; not because that's my thing; just becau...

Not gonna lie, Dayvan Cowboy is low-key genius. Not over-rated.
August 10, 2018 at 06:09
God, you had to pick a low-key masterpiece BOC track, right? I haven't listened to this in awhile. The feels.

Damn, I need to comb back through my notes from the New Amsterdam Records Composers Lab I did last summer, and find the vaporwave section. There was s...
August 10, 2018 at 06:00
Vaporwave is wild. Deserving of it's own TPF thread, I would say.
August 10, 2018 at 05:51
Right? I had nothing to do with that section (vocally); her friend originally did it, singing a Mahmoud Darwish poem, but she decided to do it herself...
August 10, 2018 at 05:49
Thanks! Isn't she great? I can listen to her sing all day; I'm lucky enough to have her singing on some tracks of mine as well, forthcoming.
August 10, 2018 at 05:43
The analog warmth is so yummy and comforting. But I can't help but think that this style of music is just a charicature; an attempt to capture somethi...

Ehhhh I "co-produced" this track, which means my dear friend Charlene wrote and partially arranged it, and then sent it to me for completion. I change...

Uh, I've been re-reading LotR and loving every second (sentence). :yikes:
August 10, 2018 at 05:17
Isn't the "how" the crux of love, though?
