This didn't answer my question. Sure there is. Wrong. There are many of blacks that make more than many whites combined. If Breeona Taylor was white, ...
Right, so some govt. showing preferential treatment based on one's skin color would entail systemic racism. But then isnt that what affirmative action...
Then what use is a dictionary? Is not a dictionary a use of words within a certain context, like defining the meaning of words? And I already showed t...
We would also have to know what knowing is to say that there are things that we know and things that we don't. We must also know how to use language i...
But that's the problem - trying to separate it from the world. We typically understand things based on their effects on the rest of the world or the r...
But the propositions are part of this reality that is represented. They are composed of visual scribbles and sounds that we observe, just like the the...
If they never actually stipulated what white privilege is then how can anyone agree or disagree with it? It doesn't follow that you could agree with i...
Pathetic. and now you're cherry-picking my posts and purposely misconstruing what I said. You're an exemplary example of what happens when sheep are i...
Then what evidence did you have for asserting this: if not some statistics? If you don't have anything to back it up, like statistics, then your whole...
If only it were true that whites aren't injured because they are white. I already showed that blacks commit hate crimes at higher rates relative to th...
The "levels" are actually different views of the same thing. One view is of the genes, the other is of the organism, but we're still talking about you...
Different fields of science deal with different levels of reality, like genetics and physiology. One doesn't use the same terms as another because we'...
And use is an effect of intent. No intent,, no use. But then some things can't be used how you intend because of how it was designed. Why can't the os...
But ostriches still use their wings for other purposes like mating displays. We often use things for which the object wasnt initially, or primarily, d...
If you're upsetting a group of people that share the same skin color, then does that not qualify as oppressing them? If you're not talking about takin...
You mean like having to deal with a lack of fathers in the home and high rate of black-on-black crime? As if whites don't have problems that non-white...
Apply this same logic to talking about men and women in a way that makes a trans person uncomfortable. Its nice to see that you've come around to real...
What privilege do I have that Oprah Winfrey doesn't have? And would you agree that Oprah has privileges that I don't have? https://www.nydailynews.com...
Its a very poor example. Privilege would be you getting to use the elevator while I have to use the stairs. Stairs is not a privilege. The elevator is...
First, there is a scientific grounding of race. Second, cultural differences aren't important when hiring someone or giving them a raise. Third, what ...
That's not surprising given that privilege is subjective. One person's privilege is another person's taboo. We all don't value the same things, so wha...
Seems to me that you answered your own question in your OP. The phenotype is determined by not just the genotype, but by the environment as well. Thin...
Strange. Is it not true that you just used a collection of symbols to point to the truth and reality of the relationship between symbols and what is t...
Thats strange because you just wrote about subjectivity objectively, just as we can talk about some property of rocks being unique and a defining feat...
Exactly. Thats essentially the nature of politics and religion. These two branches of philosophy (they're actually part of the same branch, IMO) are w...
If humans are objects, then having subjective experiences is being real as an object. It would be a defining property of a the object, human. Our subj...
A dragonfly may have 30 with their eyes to head ratio being much larger than other animals, but the ratio of brain-size with humans is much larger. So...
I think it has to do with the rate of low quality vs good quality. SLX might be close to the bannable rate but hasn't yet crossed it. Funny how people...
It depends on what we're talking about. Are we talking about the experience or what the experience is about. Experiences are real, but what they are a...
When the lights are out, all you experience is black with no shapes. Black is a color, no? Seems to me that that could be done with just two colors - ...
Illusions are real. They cause us to behave differently. They are a misinterpretation of sensory data. What they are interpreted as isnt real until yo...
But what is the difference between the information that pops out vs the information that doesnt if not a difference in wavelength? What is it that is ...
Agreed. Doubt comes from the logical understanding that all of your imagined predictions can't be true at once. There is the way the world is and a wa...
Just as we use our fingers to point we use language to point. So it's more like our communal pointing to a colored experience. The OP is asking how do...
What meaning or purpose does the existence of an afterlife provide? So are other animals. What makes humans special complicated poop machines in that ...
I don't know about guaranteeing, but logic and rationality are the best methods we have in comparison with other methods for "guaranteeing truth", lik...

According to Joe Biden, all blacks think alike, and the only way to get you to vote for him is to choose a black person as VP. The problem is seeing s...
The Democrat strategy is to play the sex/race card. Narrowing your picks based on sex and race will severely limit your choices if you're also trying ...
What does "purely physical" even mean? Are you saying that the universe is partly physical and partly something else? How can the physical interact wi...
Then you haven't told me what the self is, only what refers to the self. Harry Hindu and TheMadFool are just another scribble that refers to some self...
What do you mean by "self"? The mind, the body, the brain? Is a fly aware of its body, but not its mind or brain? Then you're taking about awareness. ...
Both inductive and deductive reasoning make use those three fundamental rules of thought that I mentioned. My point was that there are many rules of l...
