If this word means what I understand it to mean, then in essence this is the basis of my argument. Dichotomizing meaning, from what I can infer, thing...
At this point it is a matter of semantics. Is an organ an individual? I can divide the organ out of a person's body. My point is that the organ does n...
Because it's not a fucking opinion. It's an impartial, objective, measurable quality of cooperation within a society. It's not up for debate whether o...
Again. You "ought" to change the oil on your car consistently. This is an "ought" point. An ought point is just a very vague and non-formalized versio...
The entire point of this argument is saying that morality can be understood, measured, formalized, and calculated scientifically. Of course I'm going ...
This is temporary struggle, and this is largely irrelevant. Flourishing here occurs over the period of thousands, tens of thousands, millions of years...
The two definitions of altruism here. The reason I am drawing this semantic line is because there are some significant differences. -the belief in or ...
That is a fair semantic argument, and I will admit I easily misused the word definition there. The point being that definition, meaning the defining t...
Love is just sustained passion within the human mind, passion here being the equivalent of instinct. It is something that encourages people to act in ...
I would say you are justified in this sense. There are an infinite number of numbers that exist, regardless of the fact that no conscious entity will ...
I agree with this. The point here is about maximizing the extent that a society will flourish indefinitely. Giving people a personal benefit is often ...
My understanding of your statement is that morality is defined entirely by humans. That humans define morality, and without human definition it would ...
This is a wonderful thing to think about. Yes, every culture developed "the golden rule", and I would argue that this is empirical in the exact same s...
But in their society, in the Canaanite society, Child Sacrifice was a moral action? That's what I'm trying to get at. Regardless of our own society, w...
It's because this is a fact. This is why I say these things. You live in an explicitly finite world, there is nothing that exists within it that is no...
What I am arguing is no more "math fetishism" than any other science. Do you describe physics and chemistry as "math fetishism"? People don't use math...
You can count volume of milk with liters? You can even count/approximate the individual number of atoms in that liter of milk if you really wanted to....
I'm not arguing in favor of altruism. I'm not arguing in favor of anyone doing anything to hurt themselves for the sake of others. I'm arguing in favo...
Ok. My definition is in explicit accordance with the definition in the dictionary. Beyond that, when you logically produce a definition of something, ...
The "so what?" is exactly what I am trying to get at here. If we have this system, quantified and calculable, the same "so what?" that would be create...
Ok. This is an incredibly loose standard of morality. While you can argue that everything that falls under this category is morality, I would disagree...
1. This is the definition of "life", that I got. The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for...
That's just not the functional definition of that word in the modern world. If somebody makes a "factual statement", they make a statement that is tru...
No, I'm saying philosophy is not reliable method of deriving truth because it deviates from the scientific method. Philosophy needs to produce argumen...
As for the sun rising, well, the sun isn't the one drinking the snake oil, is it? As for this quote though. You might think that morality is not selec...
I'll try explain. Logically, you have one egg, you keep counting eggs. You keep counting eggs forever, do you ever get to a number that is not a count...
The point about providing a hard, quantifiable definition is that it allows for an actual functional system to emerge, an actual system that provides ...
Ok. Logically, life has a definition. It is a finite noun, it has an explicit definition. I argue thay my definition is fairly accurate and functional...
The only reason i repeat things is because you fail to acknowledge my point. You fail to understand my point, so I attempt to explain it again. As for...
I would defend your point that winners and losers are not the relevant aspect of the competition of life. The sole purpose is to flourish to the maxim...
The definition of life I provide reflects the reality in which all life exists, beyond that, the universe in which all physical matter exists. The def...
Janus is pretty much correct on this topic. His definition reflects the actual reason as to why morality is respected any more than snake oil. It is t...
It may appear that way, but truly it is not cooperative at all. It is still just flourishing competitively, the reason it seems cooperative is because...
You can't seem to follow my argument, that is why you are bored. That is unfortunate, but if you have no interest in rereading my argument thoroughly ...
It is beyond human nature. It is the nature of life, it is the entire purpose of being alive, the sole definition of life itself is to flourish compet...
Really? You're arguing that a rock is a conscious entity? con·scious·ness /?kän(t)SH?sn?s/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: consciousness 1. the state of...
I'm saying the default, objective, impartial, and empirical definition, call this definition 2, that I defend based upon what I can derive from human ...
I'm saying that yes, while philosophy has made valid points, the legitimacy of philosophy is incredibly exaggerated. I am just arguing that philosophy...
https://philosophyterms.com/ontology/ Everything is made of atoms and energy (fair point, fairly accurate as far as we know) Everything is made of con...
I'm arguing that collectivism, by default, is the definition of morality. Morality allows multiple humans to function as a collective, this collective...
I'm arguing that the entire concept of philosophy is flawed and fallacious. If philosophy were legitimate it would be a science, you would be able to ...
The issue is that the common definition of morality relies explicitly upon entirely subjective and opinionated arguments. That has proven to be unacce...
I'm saying that ontology is no more of a philosophy than math. It is the archaic method of attempting to create mathematical order when human society ...
If there was no objective benefit to morality, than moral societies would not exist. They would be no more capable or powerful than amoral societies, ...
I had to look this word up, but I will explain with my limited understanding of this. Ontology, by my understanding, is separating things into groups ...
This is the issue I have with morality. Humanity exists within an entirely finite universe, at least so far as we are concerned and can understand. Ev...
Your point is good, but the issue I have with it is somehow arguing that morality is somehow related to happiness. The happiness of the people is part...
The endless comparison of morality to money is reasonable, but you don't seem to understand the implications of this argument. Yes, morality, similar ...
You're deep into non-quantified arguments here, arguments entirely dependent upon the human conciousness, and that's not really where I have any sort ...
Yes, exactly this. 100% spot on. I argue the objective metric that would represent this is "net yield over an indefinite period of time. Communities w...
