The "what makes it scientific" part I just answered in response to another comment above (TL;DR: by "appetite" I mean a kind of experience, specifical...
In an anthropology class I had a long time ago, I was taught that emic ethnography was the newer type, and that etic ethnography had been the usual lo...
It's a well-known trope that famous and powerful people never know who truly likes them and cares about them, because there's always an ulterior motiv...
Appetites or hedonic experiences (same thing as I mean them) are things like pain, hunger, thirst, etc. Not a want for a specific state of affairs to ...
You don’t even understanding what the word “capitalism” means. There are four things to discuss here, two different distinctions: - 1. Goods and servi...
I get autocomplete options when I type names in the @ modal, and I can confirm this guy’s name doesn’t pop up no matter how much of it I type. I can g...
That's just a natural or physical (i.e. descriptive) science when you get down to it, a study of what peoples' ethical beliefs are, rather than a stud...
So, on to the last part of this thread: Despite the utopian ideals detailed above, I recognize also that we should not let perfect be the enemy of goo...
I did, and the notion that someone who otherwise has no actual power over you could just make something up (completely setting aside whether it's actu...
Basically, by creating a ladder. Making more basic education available to people makes them more capable of understanding more advanced information. B...
That is more or less my position, though not criminalize per se but invalidate contracts thereof, without which it has no force. (Also, religious proh...
Unless the billions of dollars of capital they owned were our homes and businesses, making us all de facto subservient to them if we want access to th...
That's precisely what capitalism is. Wealth is capital, and capitalism is when capital is held entirely by a small class of people, making the rest su...
I'm going to continue with the new parts of this thread that I was previously going to make into new threads, but don't let that disrupt the ongoing c...
I disagree with your definition of a state, preferring the usual political science definition of "a monopoly on the legitimate use of force". A societ...
FWIW I don't agree with Bartricks' conclusions here but I think the quality of argumentation against him in this thread is just awful. Philosophical a...
I think you're being sarcastic, but I still want to note that it's actually a recent phenomenon (post-WWII) for men in general (not in the military) t...
I don't know what point you're trying to make here. College algebra is under the umbrella of general education, yes. And that is something that is ava...
I'm nonbinary myself so I'm not arguing against calling people "they" or anything like that (though I don't care about pronouns at all, for myself). A...
I think you're misreading some kind of of nefarious motive in here. The point of this is explicitly to be anti-authoritarian, but it sounds like you'r...
Non-binary people aren't necessarily genderless. That's just one specific non-binary identity, "agender". Non-binary is an umbrella term encompassing ...
Not necessarily, though possibly. The job would have basically the same requirements as a general ed teacher. Someone with a wide breadth of knowledge...
Yes, but we’ve also seen a very problematic disconnect from a “common reality”, with disparate parts of society holding completely different views on ...
Actually this segues perfectly into the next bit I was about to post anyway: Still aside from that reactive pastor role, I hold that it is also import...
I'm not suggesting that anything be done differently with regard to academia than is done today, but just outlining the ideals of the modern academic ...
And "anarcho-capitalists" genuinely believe that they are anarchists, but that doesn't make it so. I don't really care about any west-vs-east rhetoric...
I'm not clear if you're asking for a clarification on what the differences are between Analytic and Continental philosophy, but if you are: I would su...
I guess I'll just continue the series then: Aside from that multi-tiered process of research just described to produce an alternative to traditional h...
I actually don’t agree completely with the use-is-ownership principle for reasons similar to your questions (how long do I have to be away from home b...
The clash between Analytic and Continental philosophy seems to be fading, as more contemporary philosophers try to draw from both strands and work on ...
:100: The conflict between "Rationalists" and "Empiricists" is pretty much only a Modern era (i.e. pre-Kantian) historical thing that doesn't really e...
Maybe it seems that way to you, but plenty of others would contest that that is removing the tenant from their rightful property at the behest of an u...
If you have housing already taken care of, life is earlier with less money these days. But affording housing is getting more and more impossible over ...
Y'know maybe rather than starting new threads for each subtopic, I'll just do a series of posts in this thread. As should already be clear from my ear...
The state taking money under threat of force from private individuals for its own benefit is clearly theft, unless you want to argue that the state re...
It's not always been the case that government was separated into those three branches, but it's argued that there are good reasons why they should. I'...
I have wondered about this relationship before, and how if (the big "if" in question in this thread) elementary particles actually are infinitesimal p...
I had always had very broad intellectual interests, but was always searching for ever more and more fundamental principles underlying all of those int...
