I'm getting at the notion that you have to throw your hands in the air because different moral sentiments aren't illogical, or irrational or factually...
I'm sure that you do liken it to that. I'm Enlightened too. High five! I mainly am a moral emotivist, somewhat of a consequentialist, but consequentia...
Another thing that super awkward, is when you scare people walking around at night. I walk pretty fast, so I usually overtake people, and sometimes lo...
Most of the time when I am talking about others, I'm just talking about myself, and projecting it. I'm just really really honest. Not entirely though,...
Steve Jobs said that people don't know what they want until you show it to them. When it comes to plenty of products, I think that it has a lot to do ...
Good question, my lack of nuance shows my lack of much knowledge or insight into the subject, but that never stopped me from thinking I'm the most rig...
I didn't read it all, just enough to be bored with it, the first couple of pages, lol. Having to assert that you're being fair or balanced is rather j...
That's some silly shit. "Unnecessary risk" implies that something could be accomplished without the risk. Otherwise it would be like telling someone a...
No, I'm not conflating the two, I think attributing moral obligations to potential people is absurd in the first place. I'm more pointing out that if ...
To further go on, what you consider to be "pointless", "meaningless", "empty", and "vain", I very much do as well, and that's precisely why they're so...
I don't think you know what "logic" means. You mean something agreeing with your emotional evaluation, not logic, or facts. What information does some...
I don't think that you're grasping the context of the particular point I was making. The claim was that it's appropriate to have moral obligations to ...
No, no. That's why I said what you said was "honest", I don't think you're saying that antinatalists are wrong, I figured you were one. The imposition...
That is entirely my impression, and is an honest reply. It isn't about the description of the wills, or dispositions of others, and a worry for this -...
And if you asked the vast majority of living people if they'd rather have never been born, what do you think they'd say? If they said "no", are they w...
Special pleading. Why does unsolicited mercy killings not violate liberty and consent of potential people? Why can't you kill actual people based on t...
Bleh... I have no interest in giving him attention... his theological anachronistic puritanical teleology strains the eyes. I think that philosophy of...
Considering potential agents morally important leads to absurdity, and special pleading. Every time you whack it you kill a billion potential people w...
Oh it occurred, but apparently you didn't like. You hold moral qualms against sexual activity, but just claim that you have compartmentalized them fro...
I was under the impression that you were relating "anatalism", and your moral qualms with natalism with abstinence, and celibacy... and others were as...
Demonizing and having "serious moral qualms" with something. Those are practically identical, although of course you would object to the former, as th...
Oh, I misinterpreted you, yes that's definitely true. I will also note that, at least for me, other people's suffering is many times more difficult to...
So poor people have more children because of child benefits allotted to them? Success seems most positively correlated with where one comes from in li...
I really doubt that most children throughout human history, and even in modern times, were actually intentionally planned. Since the advent of contrac...
I don't think that's a far comparison. Tripping over a stick and scrapping one's knee isn't like being pushed maliciously to the ground by an asshole....
Life is hard... often tremendously so. Most of us don't reach adulthood without being driven insane by it. Delusional beliefs are not a product of fau...
Yes, the feeling is grounded in chemical processes in the brain, but that doesn't make it arbitrary, or random. Someone can feel genuine terror that a...
I was pointing out that Darth's reasoning implies that his position was entirely arbitrary. I don't think it's arbitrary, as much as misanthropic, and...
Forced chemical happiness, bliss as the response to every foreseeable circumstance isn't hollow, and somehow promotes personal growth and deep insight...
I could be put in worse company! Maybe someday they will come up with such a way to change our chemistry, and we can all lay stoned in a blissful stup...
I know that I'm super deep, and it's difficult to grasp my level of monstrous profundity -- but more like "p, but if too much p, then not p". Life isn...
I'm cognizant that I walk dangerous and offensive ground myself. I could easily be construed as glorifying the most deeply traumatic of experiences, o...
I was charitable enough to answer that question in a different way the second time you asked it, I don't think I'll come up with a third answer. Just ...
Besides, I was chronically sick for 22 years of my life, and only moderately healthy for 9. Though I still experienced much back pain until only a cou...
No, because I have more important things to do, nor do I think that life is only, or primarily about pleasure seeking. Enough pleasure, and enough mis...
I don't think that there's any denying that it feels better returning to normal health after being sick than just always being normal health. There is...
Maybe if I was deficient enough in the misery department I might try that, but my cup runneth over. People that get bored enough stir up lots of shit....
Yeah... I didn't say that misery was great, I said that it was one of the things that makes life great. Apples aren't pies, but they're one of the thi...
What I'd consider a lot of pain, and what you'd consider a lot of pain are like Wittgenstein's beetles -- they're private, and something we can't shar...
I personally have never experienced that level of pain. Calk it up to personal thresholds, I guess. It's called being reasonable. If you want to call ...
