That will not do. You have made an accusation: Present your notion of racism and explain why what I have written is racist, or rescind the accusation.

Justify your claim that what I have written is racist.
August 29, 2020 at 00:24
What?

I've flicked back over this thread, too. I re-read the denials. I re-read white middle class cis hetro males begging that the word "privilege" not be ...

And colourless green ideas sleep furiously.

Yep.

There's a remarkable dearth of philosophical material on privilege. But there is Naomi Zack, which draws a distinction between white privilege and whi...

Thanks for that. It's apparent that talk of privilege has too much baggage for a general conversation such as this. I wondered, on reading your other ...

Yawn.

Yep. Here's a pop article that might be of interest: Learning About Privilege The reaction fo the white student has parallels in this thread. The chec...

Ah, there's the brilliance of your argument in a knutshell.

Is your self-serving misreading deliberate?

Fucksake. Yes, you don't see the problem. Repeating that you don't see the problem does not help. Go talk to @"creativesoul". He may have more patienc...

This remains unaddressed.

It's not an analogy. It is an example. The disenfranchisement caused to non-ambulatory people is real. But thanks, by denying that this is a problem y...

And you have been answered at a least a half-dozen times already. ...you know this is not the god of the Christians. ...you used the stacked term "ent...

:up: The notion is incoherent. As such, it's not the sort of thing that could be known; moreover, it's not even the sort of thing that could not be kn...

Way back, I entered this conversation with the example of stairs privileging the ambulatory. I chose that example with care, because of what it shows ...
August 25, 2020 at 21:50
I think it evident that philosophers, as a result of their critical eye, look to coherence. The notion of God is incoherent. Those who accept a christ...
August 25, 2020 at 20:56
Such an explicit apology is an extraordinary thing. Respect.
August 25, 2020 at 20:48
Well done.
August 25, 2020 at 07:17
No, I don't need to watch any of it. Ten minutes wasted. There might be a worthwhile exercise in examining the relation between oppression and privile...
August 25, 2020 at 07:12
Yep. And you have difficulty dealing with it, so you attack me instead of my argument. Go ahead, continue the attack. That helps us understand the def...
August 24, 2020 at 21:55
Spot on.
August 24, 2020 at 21:42
I did. How odd.
August 24, 2020 at 21:42
Yep. Both. Actually I was suggesting it as contradicting your "your entire response to me wasn't an argument at all".
August 24, 2020 at 21:37
...and the title ought be "Arrangement of Belief". Edit: I see multiple others, including @"fdrake" and @"creativesoul", have made much the same point...
August 24, 2020 at 21:25
I'd add Triangulation. This involves subjecting your monologue to critique, both from reality and from other folk.
August 24, 2020 at 21:17
Actualy, this was pretty good: It's congruent with what I have said elsewhere concerning the inability of the privileged to see their own privilege, n...

"This sentence is false" has made a difference to reality by eliciting this thread.
August 23, 2020 at 22:18
Fair point.
August 23, 2020 at 21:10
Deconstruction is not my cuppa. So I'm not overly sympathetic to the critique in the OP. For instance this: That's not what I would call Nihilism. But...

You've articulated this very clearly. A fine job.
August 23, 2020 at 08:29
That seems to me to work.
August 23, 2020 at 07:39
Sure. Cheers.
August 23, 2020 at 06:46
It's pretty standard to contrast this with the Liar.
August 23, 2020 at 06:42
And... what is an infinite thought? I'm not following at all.
August 23, 2020 at 06:27
What is relativism here?
August 23, 2020 at 05:12
It's a puzzle, to be sure. So the first test I'd advocate would be, does that work for other formulations - such as "This sentence is true". So would ...
August 23, 2020 at 04:47
Cheers.
August 23, 2020 at 04:33
Mmm. Indeed. What are we to conclude from that truism?
August 23, 2020 at 03:27
Peterson relies on a populist distortion of Jung, and hence the main criticisms of Jung apply to Peterson. Peterson paraphrases archetypes, synchronic...
August 23, 2020 at 02:03
I'm shaken by how 'mercans make an individual's race so pivotal.
August 23, 2020 at 01:39
Still keen.
August 23, 2020 at 01:33
And what would you do differently as a result of "This sentence is true"? It is also, presumably, meaningless?

Nuh. Just wordplay.

You might not thank me when you get around to tackling the article. It presupposes much.
