I’m trying to participate in the discussion of what freedom is. I haven’t once dismissed it, I’m afraid.

I do not believe in determinism. These presumptions sound like your own. But if you wish to ever know what I believe about any given topic, feel free ...

How so?

Weighing ideas and other exercises in “high-order thinking” is one of the easiest activities to accomplish, in my opinion. It is the least evolved, do...

I think our difference lies mostly in the respect of feelings, and what parts of the body we identify with. I hold the view that feelings don't offer ...

I’m not sure why the strong should determine what the ethical life should be. The point is that no person or group of persons has the right to determi...

Thanks for the historical examples. Very interesting. I don’t think the state should involve itself in the moral lives of its citizens because I belie...

A human being is one entity, and no person is divisible, certainly not into master and slave, lower and higher. We can spend eternity categorizing him...

My guess is that most of the pull towards prohibition is aesthetic rather than moral or ethical. At any rate, there is hardly an ethical principle in ...

The idea of self-tyranny or slavery to one’s thoughts and desires is an odd one because one cannot be a slave to himself, both master and slave at the...

Just to add, Neo-Republicans Philip Pettit and Quentin Skinner propose that there exists a kind of liberty distinct from its negative and positive var...

Freedom is an idea. The word doesn’t describe much and can often be used to suit anyone’s purpose. I’ll suit it to my own. The suffix “-dom” indicates...

Don’t bother. I only wished to note the glittering generalities at work here.

I heard it becomes more true the more you repeat their spin.

Note the propaganda. The man who saved democracy from Trump, actively worked against the democratically-elected president and stifled his agenda. http...

A corporate/activist conspiracy makes drastic changes to election laws in the lead up to an election, spends Zuckerbucks and other dark moneys to set ...

I’m saying it’s propaganda, written by Nancy Pelosi’s biographer, no less.

I pointed to the article to show that certain actors admitted to a conspiracy to alter election laws behind the backs of Americans, to use dark money ...

If you believe one can only rig an election by falsifying votes and/or throwing them away then I’m not going to satisfy you.

I’m arguing the election was rigged. Everything from changing election laws behind the backs of Americans, flooding the system with dark money, threat...

I was reposting the argument to which you replied. Why would you ask about “falsifying votes”?

A glittering generality or two and praxis is persuaded.

I never said they were confessing to falsifying votes.

There was “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptio...

They are not keeping it secret. My guess is they knew they couldn’t keep their election rigging secret, so they did what they already admitted to doin...

There was “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptio...

I can agree to that. The court is a good venue in which to argue the evidence. What I mean is I need to see the evidence and use my own judgement rath...

I hate judges and lawyers. I despise the whole profession and the system upon which it is maintained. I don’t even like the US constitution. The only ...

No. I actually expect him to be found guilty. I have zero faith in the US legal system. If he is acquitted I will be pleasantly surprised.

I am susceptible to lies and am fully aware of my biases. All I can do is listen to both sides of the story, any information that is available, and co...

I’m willing to hear any argument that I have.

Yes you do. You’re subject to The Big Lie, which according to Goebbels, is “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually...

To reverse, flip, or abolish a decision. Such a thing can only occur once the truth is established, only after an election is contested, perhaps even ...

"It's obvious" is not a good enough answer, I'm afraid. I suspect you repeat the phrase because others do, because of propaganda. I can take one examp...

I don’t know that because I haven’t seen it. If it’s that obvious then such a quote should be easy to find.

Have you seen or read any quotes from Trump or others using the phrase “overturn the election”? Has he requested, demanded, or pressured anyone to do ...

Challenging the legality or validity of an election. What do you think it means?

There is nothing wrong with contesting an election. There is something wrong with McCarthyism and seeking to disbar and ostracize people who do contes...

I never said it was a Democrat vs Republican issue, I’m afraid, so your argument means nothing. I strictly used the phrase “anti-Trump forces”. I was ...

Your emphasis does nothing but distract from what you’re trying to hide. More key points: 1. The project was devised by Melissa Moss, a Democratic con...

At almost every step Ukraine appears to be a common theme. It is becoming more and more evident that Trump got in the way of their ongoing regime-chan...

I don’t care about the complaint of anti-Trump forces, nor if you lap it all up. https://www.axios.com/2022/03/07/trump-election-lawyers-disbar

I was just listing the typical anti-Trumpism he faced, at least according to him, both the attempt to remove people from their careers and the ostraci...

Why would you pretend I said the complaint against Dershowitz has something to do with him being a social outcast? Because you like men of straw.

I’m afraid the only expertise of “legal experts” is law. An election is a political venture, not a legal one. So I’m not sure why you’d think his lawy...

There is a movement to disbar and condemn the lawyers who work for Trump. Famed defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who defended Trump in his first impeac...

A legal entity is another abstraction. I am left to abandon marriage in the world and to read about it in laws, all of which vary according to jurisdi...

Not only that but there is nothing worse than official truth. The institutions that most wish to police misinformation have historically produced misi...

I appreciate the reduction to the absurd, but you could just describe married people and be done with it. You could describe the visible and recogniza...

I don’t understand what you wish I would explain. Everything is natural to me, including abstraction. I only seek to understand where the referent is....
