"Post Hoc, Propter Ergo Hoc" (after this, therefore because of this) Fallacy comes to mind. This is a fallacy where you assume that, just because, X o...
Well, you said that education of young women was the best line of attack for these sort of problems-it was not "alongside" global issues. Do i need to...
Empowering girls and women is good and all, but you said we should divert our resources to young women's education and not that we should, while deali...
Nope. That was not my objection-of course, education of young women should not be neglected and they should be helped. But that's not the issue here. ...
I would only accept this statement if it was rephrased as "When resources are focused towards the education of people in general, the outcomes are far...
I generally agree with what you're saying here, but there is one issue: You're taking a general trend -the inverse relationship between education and ...

Well, the neurological accuracy aside, this kind of free will is random. The outcome is based on luck, and, more importantly, factors (and luck) that ...
Well, it's because we are psychologically predisposed to having children. Howewer, is there really no logical reason to have children? Because having ...
"If it accomplishes that already, i.e. making the victim's family feel better, it would at least accomplish something." Yes, it would at least accompl...
Well, there is another problem with the Islamic system-: What does it accomplish, exactly, besides making the victim's family -since this is mostly ab...
"Voluntary Empathy", at least in the sense you're presenting it, doesn't seem to be the real to me. While psychopaths do make moral judgements -and, l...
My objection would be that the consclusion is different from what the premises entail. Premise: Moral actions are voluntary. Premise: Empathy-based-ac...
