Do you think Obama devised and wrote the affordable care act? That’s just not the case. Hell, they mostly stole Mitt Romney’s ideas.

I voted for Obama twice. I actually like him. But If you’re aware of his biography, he was a community organizer, a lawyer, a senator, and finally the...

If by “having a personality” you mean I behave and act in certain ways, yes, but if you mean I am something more than my biology, no.

So we’re you lying that they were lies? Shouldn’t you now apologize? Yes, Trump isn’t some technocrat or academic or lawyer. He doesn’t speak eloquent...

Ugh, the sanctimonious piffle is all nonsense in lieu of your authoritarian hypocrisy. Please, if you could engage my arguments about the topic you mi...

You failed to address my argument and ran to the authorities to seek my suppression. Bad faith, censorship, hypocrisy, and general worm-like cowardice...

A lie is a falsity with an intention to deceive. No backlashes are warranted when one says something wrong. The outrage is premised on the fundamental...

I think I get it. Like the month October, “personality” is an abstract noun. So not only are you a body, but more, you are an abstract noun, or at lea...

You said you were more than your body, and as an example you said your personality. I just want to know where this personality exists in space and tim...

Well yes, I cannot consciously stop my heart beat while at the same time unconsciously keep it going.

That’s fair. If it is not your body, and not itself a body, where is this personality? It sounds like there is some reification going on here, giving ...

Sure, you’re not saying it and do not mean it, but no less you want to go the the cinema, you are your body, therefor your body wants to go to the cin...

No I don’t believe I can consciously control all the processes of my body, but I do control them in the sense that all “automatic responses” are gover...

I’ve corrected the indictment, proved it false, proved the hypocrisy, and will leave you to them.

Are you not also your autonomous bodily functions?

I am my body, I can prove this by pointing to myself. You cannot point to yourself, or whatever it is you identity yourself as.

No I think threatening others, then following through with the threat despite me doing what you asked, is uncivil at best, downright dangerous at wors...

I am my body. My body controls and regulates my responses. So it appears, yes, it is entirely within my control and no one else’s.

You asked with and threatened me, I responded in good faith, you went ahead anyways by your own admission. So who is the liar?

Simply because they are my responses and no one else’s.

Sorry, I’m trying to keep it civil here, despite the threats and ridicule.

Actively seeking to silence your political opponents instead debating them. You’re a pantywaist and a censor.

Well, like you said, no one is harmed, but it denies the world and posterity a human being who may alter the course of history for the better. Do you ...

It’s unprecedented because it is not a backlash to any evil or injustice, but to tweets and comments. It’s unprecedented because it’s a backlash in se...

But you’d also prevent many other things besides harm. I wouldn't want to prevent the birth of Nicola Tesla because he was sure to suffer through chol...

My apologies. I guess All this talk of reducing the suffering of potential humans confused me.

Yes it claims to be an ethical principle regarding the treatment of beings that do not exist, something that is always claimed to help others but cann...

It appears to be more a threat against deviating from the teachings of the book. The punishment was mortality, which is telling, because the world and...

And again, the cause of the stress and the process of stress is the individual’s biology, not the words.

I don’t know if you’ve read this article, When is Speech Violence, but it seems a stronger case for their position than anything linked here. It cause...

Sorry, I accidentally replied to you while quoting someone else.

It seems obvious that someone with anti-immigrant Facebook posts is more likely to be violent towards immigrants. Sure they are correlated. But it can...

No, I’m not arguing morality doesn’t exist, just that since antinatalism has no one to apply their principles of to, that it is a moral posture, a sor...

Zero injustice, zero tyranny, zero reason to eschew the ethics of journalism and the democratic process. It’s all word crimes. You are crying wolf.

To be honest I haven’t really fleshed out the idea yet, so I appreciate the valid responses. I sincerely want to figure this out and enjoy trying to d...

The answers to your questions were the same, sure, but I did not treat them the same because they are entirely different scenarios. One was a matter o...

I think they should be treated differently because one is the actual material of procreation, will lead to procreation, and will lead to dire conseque...

Yes if the options were to bear a child with 10 broken limbs or not, I would think it prudent to choose the latter for the reasons you mentioned. But ...

I’ve already distinguished between an actual potential human—the necessary ingredients involved in procreation—and the thought of a potential child. W...

I get the argument, but I think we’re conflating a real potential human-I suppose fertilization—and a philosophical potential human. I just sense some...

I’ve never seen anyone harmed by the birth of a child, but I suppose there could be an argument about overpopulation or environmental concerns, Yes it...

I don’t care whether you accept them or not.

But doesn’t that becomes a moral imperative to avoid having a child in order to avoid harming someone that doesn’t exist?

I see what you’re saying. I suppose the issue I have is the so-called effect of the words, when clearly the effect—hearing, constructing meaning, deco...

That’s fair, admittedly I know little about the position. Excuse my ignorance. What is, in your mind at least, the most convincing reason why having c...

That is the term I see thrown around. Or a potential nothing. Either way when we’re talking about beings let me know.

A potential human is never a human and never will be. You are not talking about beings at all. You’re not being moral towards any being.

Really, the backlash against Trump’s words has eclipsed any backlash in modern history. The Woman’s March, the biggest protest in American history, oc...

Beings that will never exist is quite different than beings that will or do exist.

I’m not much of a dualist so I think the notion of a conscious me and an unconscious me is a distinction without a difference. I’m the organism, the o...
