@"T Clark" will be along soon to tell us that this is a trivial thread.
September 27, 2019 at 23:03
I like the meme. I'm all for the counterculture version - I'm sure Wittgenstein would be, too: the stuff that is really important cannot be put into w...
September 27, 2019 at 23:00
Noice. But I don't think you are taking this seriously enough. If you want to save the world and stuff, you gotta sing loud.
September 27, 2019 at 22:52
And the ethics espoused in Option Three is far from Singer's utilitarianism. It's not enlightened self-interest. Caring for the commons is a worthwhil...
September 27, 2019 at 22:49
@"Baden" is going to lose interest if the only one talking is @"Hanover". The third option seems to me to be the one spoken of by First Nations folk. ...
September 27, 2019 at 22:45
Pointing out that you were the dictator over and over again is not that helpful.
September 27, 2019 at 22:38
So I'm not buying you a round, Mr @"Hanover".

If you put two cows on the commons, we should all move away from you when you go to the Pub for a beer after work.
September 27, 2019 at 22:36
We need to make more use of Shunning. Shun folk who put two cows on the Commons.
September 27, 2019 at 22:35
In this analysis, you were the dictator. You charged a fee so that those with no money could not go fishing, and said that was fair. Then you shot tho...
September 27, 2019 at 22:32
:blush: Happy to entertain. I hope this thread can do better than just attract Hangover and his Good Ol' Boy economics.
September 27, 2019 at 22:29
Ah - so you want to be the Big Fat Dictator. Doesn't help.
September 27, 2019 at 22:24
So that's both the Big Fat Dictator solution and the Privatisation solution all mixed up. Not new. You tell me.
September 27, 2019 at 22:05
Now I guess there may be a fourth, fifth or sixth option that I hadn't even considered upon. SO you folk might be able to help me out here. Shooting f...
September 27, 2019 at 22:00
It will not be that surprising to hear that I am in favour of the last option; and that despite it being despised of economists. It won't work, that s...

the argument was there, but subtle. It’s to do with how repetition is not truth, literary quality, and the difference between philosophy and nonsense.
September 25, 2019 at 01:38
Just the place for a Snark. "What I say three times is true!"
September 25, 2019 at 01:15
And in so doing we are following a well trod path. On both counts.
September 25, 2019 at 01:12
The point we agree on is that the role of justice in ethics is prior to, or higher than, or of more import than, the role of piety or divine will or.....
September 25, 2019 at 00:08
"This"? I was replying to @"Fooloso4", not you. Your comments have not been interesting enough to warrant a reply.
September 25, 2019 at 00:02
That's the point. The dialogue is remembered for it's attack on god when it should be remembered for its support for equity.
September 24, 2019 at 21:51
I think it's a poor analysis.
September 24, 2019 at 21:09
The capabilities approach strikes me as suitable for sorting such issues. Nussbaum has shown how it's application brings together intersectionalities;...
September 24, 2019 at 21:00
Would you add "I might have wanted to lie with other men; but that's just not how it's done"? No. In the face of a child who is distressed at being fo...
September 22, 2019 at 21:46
it's not unusual to include induction as well as mere deduction. Probabilities, too. Abduction, for some. Empirical observation is not unreasonable.
September 22, 2019 at 06:12
That's a pretty limited interpretation.
September 22, 2019 at 05:47
I find it odd that you of all those here are happy to have the contents of one's underpants determine one's social role.
September 22, 2019 at 05:09
So forcing a child of eight to wear boy's uniform at school to the point where she is suicidal is just correcting a bit of delusional defiance.
September 22, 2019 at 02:28
There are theories of reason? So we need to decide which is right. How? By reason... Doubtless that's not a problem, either. It's a bit manic in here,...
September 22, 2019 at 02:25
Apparently we ask @"Bartricks".
September 22, 2019 at 00:55
...and the conclusion from the NCBI... not that kids change their mind.
September 22, 2019 at 00:19
this figure is obtained by assuming that every one who was untraceable changed their mind. Biased source.
September 22, 2019 at 00:14
Why the fuck am I back here. Insidious, philosophy is. Sneaks up on you, and you find yourself reading stuff indoors when you ought be out in the suns...
September 21, 2019 at 23:56
Can one wear it out? Safe sleepies.
September 21, 2019 at 23:54
Like that?
September 21, 2019 at 23:48
SO the utter misery induced by forcing a child to wear gendered clothing doesn't count?
September 21, 2019 at 22:59
The name of the Old Testament God and original cause This shite is on a par with numerology and ought be removed.
September 21, 2019 at 22:57
You don't see a contradiction here?

OK, I'll grant that.
September 21, 2019 at 04:13
Being post hoc does not make one's reasons wrong.
September 21, 2019 at 04:06
Hrmph. I've often thought that if you find yourself in agreement with Hegel, you're doing it wrong.
September 21, 2019 at 04:05
Sure, things are repetitive events. Hence, there are repetitive events. Hence, there exist repetitive events. But what makes 'em relative?
September 21, 2019 at 04:04
Must be. So what is it?
