@"Pfhorrest",@"ssu",@"Apollodorus",@"Hanover" The answer is that ownership is a function of social intentionality. Property is owned only with the agr...

Keep going. You continue to make my point.

Sure, that's another discussion we could have. ...and that. What do you think?

To all that, yes, I agree. The salient point I've made here is that property is about convention; it's that observation which allows the discussion to...

But your opinion is insufficient.

And what's "legally and morally right"? Further, do you suppose that these are consistent? That what is legally right is what is morally right? How do...

Yeah. That's a wrap for Gnome.

Fool affirms the consequent. I think that about wraps it up for any attention one might play to Fool's posts. Gnome is citing increasingly obscure and...

Yeah, I've read some of your posts. Nuh.

What's that, then?

I don't. All things being equal, one ought abide by agreed conventions. That's what an agreed convention is. Which is preferable, a person who is true...

Presumably you understand the difference between a lie and a truth...?

Again, I don't claim to have the answers - these are questions I put to myself as well as to you.

SO moral statements are no more than extended expletives? If that's the case, then they do not have a truth value. Are you content to say that it is n...

Similarly, what is "objective" doing here? How does "I do not believe that moral facts (values, duties, behavioral standards, etc,) exist in the objec...

And this: What are the implications of saying beliefs are subjective? They can be stated. They can be shared. You and I might have the same belief. I'...

Please welcome today’s guest Senator Ian the Climate Denialist Potato who is here all the way from Canberra!

I've been reading it on and off for more than forty years, and have changed my framework several times. If you will excuse the condescension, you've m...

None of that is relevant to the thread. But my present view runs parallel with that of Martha Nussbaum. And again, I happily admit I have no answer to...

Let's just ban anyone under 30... reserve the forum for those who have graduated from the ag?g?.

Sweet dreams.

You are dropping the myth of the "First Man", too? As I said, by convention. Folk accepted that Martha over there could look after that digging stick,...

...and the bit about the 20,000 folk with disabilities, who can't get vaccinated despite being a top priority - that's "Good enough".

It's just that your first thought was that being able to work the land was the basis of ownership. I see you are backing away from that; that working ...

I suspect he is sitting on it.

But you advocated it... or so it seem'd: "Hence, my first thought is that it is the effort it takes to make land productive that is the basis of owner...

:wink: Here's the spin, straight from the Marketing Division of AGL: https://www.pm.gov.au/media/gas-fired-recovery

Yeah, I hit you back first. Nice to see you leaning towards the labour theory of value. Never took you for a Marxist. Maybe there is hope... So the gu...

So - are we doing the flame-war thing? 'cause that don't work well here. But happy to play along, if that's what you want. Or better, you could offer ...

I'm happy to have one of my dead threads re-animated, even if by accident. A welcome zombie.

No, no. This is the Right thread.

That's mine; I'm keeping that. I'm using myth as a cover for narratives that say little but justify certain actions. You're right that the myth of the...

...just claim Hume said it... that'll work.

Ah, we bow before Counterpunch's ex- girlfriend! With such brilliantly expounded argumentation, how could he be wrong!

https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/6742/the-tragedy-of-the-commons/ The tragedy of the commons is a capitalist myth.

...and the point is that your supposed solution, isn't one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons#Criticism It ain't necessarily a tragedy.

Federal government will spend $600 million on new Kurri Kurri gas plant in the NSW Hunter Valley That'll fix covid.

Odd thing is, you and I both came here to point out how the argument is not worth talking about... :lol: There's the real problem with philosophy; our...

Good plan.

Yep.

Then can you give an account of ownership that does not rely on a convention? I doubt it, since it would require a way of talking about ownership that...

...but that is just yet another convention... Nothing has been gained.

Yep. If he exists, he made something that is both a particle and a wave; and to account for it we simply changed the description to one of mathematics...

So what difference will it make to what you do? Apart from posts to philosophy forums, that is. God can't be "bound" by logic; logic is just formal gr...

We can't even do that.

Asking is indulging in a word game in a par with Scrabble. You can answer any way you like, and follow out the consequences in any direction, but sinc...

That would be an odd sort of god, not quite worthy of the title.

Classical music is fine, until folk start to talk about it. Same for Jazz. Blues and soul...just listen, just feel.
