Don’t bother. This imbecile is another example of a lost cause— he has no interest in learning anything, and apparently doesn’t allow himself to even ...
Thousands dead every week, hospital ICUs pushed to capacity, during a worldwide pandemic, and this is what gets said. Just another anti-vaxxer disguis...
I have. So have many others here. I won’t be doing it again. You can re-read. That’s all you deserve, and it’s generous at that. Better advice: learn ...
It’s hard to believe you can call yourself an “expert” in anything, with such embarrassing questions like this. Safe sex has been encouraged for decad...
No— this seems right, but is completely wrong. Which you would know if you deigned to read what doctors and the CDC say about this. Completely open to...
This thread presupposes a modicum of rationality, yes. Those part of the death cult, who wish to do nothing about climate change -- and in fact don't ...
No, I'm saying that we don't have a technical notion of what "material" means. That's my point, actually. What do we mean by "body"? We can define ect...
That’s my point— there aren’t important issues to solve, because the problem is meaningless. The “physical structure”, for example, means what? What i...
I’m sure it does. I think that might not be such a great thing, however. I think it says far more about politics than about “philosophers.” Regardless...
I’ll give a simple example — very simple, and admittedly limited, so let this be the obligatory qualification: Scenario 1: We have a complex math equa...
I’ve said this a number of times, but there can’t be a mind/body problem. Why? Because we don’t have any sense of what “body” means. Or material, or p...
Yes— liberals are assholes too. But this isn’t the extent of my analysis, as anyone familiar with what I wrote knows. Nearly everything you said here ...
:rofl: Yes. It’s still up to us to question and to research, if we’re really interested. But there is usually a reason for doing so and not simply tru...
So you misread what I wrote and I’m a “sneak” because you haven’t followed the death cases which are posted almost everywhere one gets news. Interesti...
I agree they’re doing untold harm, and that their actions are stupid. Their beliefs are also stupid— but who is planting them there? I blame social me...
I sympathize. But if you instead imagine them as, say, high school students or, better, college students from Liberty University— would you feel the s...
Then why this line of argumentation? Do you really assume I’m completely oblivious to the claims of conservatives regarding social spending? I find th...
Funny you have you ask me, as if this data wasn’t readily available. Here’s one example (the depths of obscurity, I know): https://www.nytimes.com/int...
Many reasons. I could repeat what some of their claims are, like what’s being claimed now (inflation, socialism, handouts, dependency, jacking the def...
I agree, except for the part about being stupid fools. They’re well-meaning people, mostly, who’ve been mislead. This is at education is important, an...
Covid deaths: 1800 a day, two day average over 3,000. That’s a 9/11 every two days. Idaho and Texas hospitals pushed to the max, and now southern hosp...
Actually it’s not nearly enough. Vote for Joe Manchin? Again— if this is an example of where studying philosophy leads us, then it’s completely useles...
I agree -- in which case, everyone should be reading much more Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Marx; in other words, thinkers that (in my view) put some fir...
You were never serious about questioning the experts, nor are you an expert yourself. Any sophomoric question you have are out there for experts to an...
And a legitimate one. But it by no means makes life "essentially impossible." Plenty of people have already quit their jobs because they're refusing t...
I'll repeat yet again: I'm talking about the United States. Whatever country you're referring to -- as most have mask and vaccine requirements -- I'm ...
So you wouldn’t go with the 99 doctors. Got it. I think that’s demonstrably stupid. Same as going with Alex Jones over the IPCC. You can apply the rat...
That coercion is legitimate, considering the stakes. This is a public health issue. Likewise, school and work vaccines that have existed for decades a...
That's not on the table in the US. No one will be sent to prison. You get vaccinated or you don't come to work/school -- simple. That's coercion? Fine...
As I mentioned before, only in the sense of irrationality -- immunity to facts, being non-persuadable, etc. Otherwise they're very disparate topics in...
No, they haven't been -- by anyone except you. Totally different topics, as was made clear a while back. There's sensible debate to be had about the l...
That's a political and legal issue. The WHO has been pretty clear on their recommendations. No one is saying we want to physically force people into v...
It does. That's not what "begging the question" means. I wonder if you and AJJ are the same person. Anyway, I'm giving you an option. What would you d...
"Medical procedure"? That's deliberately beefing up what amounts to a tiny prick of the arm. But so be it. I don't have a right to force people into d...
No, it isn’t. You have no right to harm others. Not forced any more than school and work vaccinations have been forced, for decades in fact. Because y...
Wrong. The vaccine mandates are both ethical and effective — according to real medical ethicists. If people don’t want to vaccines, fine— then isolate...
