I've addressed these objections. This all only true if I couldn't get away with it, and then is just more self-interest in that case, it's prudence, a...

Again, I said whim and preference. Not just whim. I really don't think that people just randomly feel like hurting people for no reason. What I'm talk...

I said whim, and preference, and results matter a lot in that regard, as if the cost is high, the whim isn't worth it, that is just prudence. It's als...

I thought you were using "normative" in the natural language, and not technical sense. So, your position is just then it isn't right or wrong absent r...

The idea is that in the absence of right and wrong, all things are permitted, not impossible, or random... where's the precedent for that? If it's all...

You're just not making much sense. Even if our motivations are random (though they aren't, they're mainly self invested, which is why morality, and th...

No we're not, we're left with motivations, and different ones, that are presumably all equal. It isn't as if, if there are no oughts, action would be ...

Lol, I do inspire a lot of murderous rage. I probably shouldn't surround myself with the dumb and armed.

Hey, I want my authority respected as much as the next guy...

I wasn't talking about myself... look it up though.

Again, though, they give you an IQ test, and if you score too high, you're reject on that basis alone. Though, my point was that their "expert opinion...

I was talking about manipulation and deception... people immediately imagine the worst things imaginable, and crimes, probably because they're already...

I didn't actually notice this, the 100 IQ is average for the whole population, but occupations have different IQ ranges. Like the average IQ for astro...

I've already said that there is no reason why I should, and one could do otherwise fine, I'm asking for reasons why I shouldn't.

Doesn't matter.

Because I want to, it's natural. We, and other animals are competitive, and status driven. We all want to. There would be no dilemma, no need at all f...

Well, yes, reason only tells you how to accomplish things, and what will come of things, this is why I said based on my preferences, and whims. So I h...

It is the world I find myself in. I qualified if you could get away with it. This question was posed in the republic I believe it was (one of Plato's ...

I don't think that laws are analogous to moral precepts, though clearly related. I will say though, that most laws are based in a theory, and historic...

As long as you're saying that there is no reason why someone shouldn't, and are fine with that. You have no objection to it.

There is still the hypothetical oughts. They just aren't binding in absence of motivation.

Then you ought to if you could get away with it?

Thats the implication of what you said.

There is indeed nothing stopping you from just whimsically deciding to be good and altruistic, but that isnt the problem, that problem is that that is...

No law is actually just or unjust beyond preference or fiat. Since we disagree about such things it cant be "man" that decided it but some individual ...

I actually do think that that is true, but that already supposes too much of the position Im questioning. Without the soul, or truth anyway, that cant...

No it isnt. Its far more like asking why should if follow the law if i could get away with not doing so? Aristotle said that what he got from philosop...

This by the way is quoting him when someone said that they had watched all of his videoes to him, but obviously hadnt.

I find him interesting because he thinks a lot of the same things as I do, although I don't think that our personalities are all that similar. I also ...

I don't know what to say to the idea that it's actually the opposite of that... I think we must live in different worlds...

I don't have much of a life, I spend most of it absorbing material.

Most of them are the same. He only has so many lectures on his on page, and I've watched those, as well as many interviews that are scattered around, ...

I'm simply saying that we shouldn't be associating positive attributes to one, and negative attributes to the other, on the notion that they have no r...

I've watched them all, I like facts more than interpretations though. The point is precisely that it isn't merely semantics, words correlate to the wo...

Women are more agreeable, and higher in neuroticism, but only after puberty, and onward. I think this is simply because physical violence is the most ...

I don't like hefty imbalances of power in situations, it's intimidating. They could be saints, but as long as they reserve the sole right to violence,...

Why is it masculine to be cruel and domineering, and feminine to be loving and tempering though? I prefer to think of both in neutral, rather than suc...

I ain't a fan of the popo... I think they just think that it would be more boring to shoot the unarmed...

I doubt that women are good and tempering, and men are violent and domineering. I thought they were capable of the same things, and not that different...

Maybe, but having high openness does predict that you'd end up somewhere like this.

Emotional intelligence is a little more complex, difficult to measure, and not unrelated to IQ. It is more a skill than an innate trait, and is mainly...

It's probably personality related. We took those big five personality tests recently, and all scored pretty high in openness, which is related with cr...

Look at this place, it isn't exact all that gender diverse, you're pretty much expressing your masculinity by posting here, when you think about it.

You know, the average IQ for police officers is like 100, and you're not allowed to be one if your IQ is too high...

Remember that society is just people, not some entity, and we're all products and producers of it. The claim then becomes a misanthropic, self-apologi...

They're not strategically placed, and I haven't even used them a single time, and I don't know anything about weights. I got them because they're inco...

i don't agree with everything they're saying. I agree that truth and objectivity are possible, but that doesn't mean that they, or I have attained it....
