Dealing with this is a trivial extension of the argument I present. As representing state authority in a legitimate state, psychological research is a...
No problem connecting the dots. Political analysis is not only about the organization of society today, in the past, and potential future organization...
"Environmental factors" does not consider the moral dimension of our political environment, only that behaviour and mental states do indeed depend on ...
Ah, such subtle bait and switching. Indeed you are powerful in the ways of psychology. "Environmental factors" is not the same as "politics". "Environ...
I said "they are part of the problem", just like the vast majority of police who are not trying to be abusive are part of the problem if they tolerate...
Yes, we fundamentally agree. The difference is that biologists do not decide what is a "mental disease" that needs a cure (biologists in such a contex...
Well, the thesis would not be supported by psychological research, for obvious reasons. The foundation of the argument is whether our system is sustai...
It's totally fair. There was a long conversation about this a while back. The functional roll of psychology within capitalism, as an academic field an...
Turns out branding Martin Luther King an extremist and killing him, and then ignoring what he did have the time to say for over 50 years, was an act o...
You mean you would easily believe right wing propaganda. This is just delusional. OP based on an accepted premise happen all the time. You're not maki...
You are completely correct that it is better to first consider that there is much more pervasive and severe systemic police brutality against the poor...
Yes, I pretty much agree that had universal health care been passed decades ago (or even just one decade ago), equal (at least more equal) education b...
Spot on. This is what's so historically new, the lack of basic common sense in the POTUS, and more importantly, the full backing of this insanity by t...
Now, yes, MLK was against violence, in the tactical sense that it can achieve the goal without violence: it is therefore preferable. The problem with ...
Yes, he is dedicated to non-violence, but only for tactical reasons. He is quite clear he views violent resistance against oppression justifiable; the...
I'm really tired of this fantasy of Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King did not believe in peaceful protest, and viewed peaceful protest as a degen...
Should white people in the US rise up against themselves and really show the world they are ready to make a change and be left out of typical "white p...
I have also been reflecting on what we are actually seeing. Though your reasoning I think is completely adequate to establish first degree murder, it ...
The difference is that political protest as a means to effect political process is viable. Laws can be changed through political action, which may or ...
I completely agree it is very difficult to assess. Definitely most riots throughout most of history were mostly irrelevant in terms of political chang...
The same can be said for most creation events of legitimate government. A lot of people died so that I enjoy freedoms in my country today; a lot of pe...
The question was "when has rioting ever been effective?" Plenty examples throughout history of rioting achieving a political goal. Of course, the goal...
It's no my revolution. However, my argument above was not that the looting is effective, only justifiable (if you conclude the state is no longer legi...
I wrote the example of the violent riots, looting and then revolution against the British, seemed to be enough. Indeed, most political changes against...
Is this true @"Baden"? But, regardless of @"Baden"'s view of capitalism's roll in this, I did not mention the word capitalism in my analysis. The ques...
Ok, so you agree with this analysis: I'm not quite sure where I differ in my analysis, but please point it out. This is debatable interpretation of hi...
You haven't bothered to read and understand @"Baden" or @"StreetlightX". If you just want to shout and insult, you can do that in youtube comments. Th...
You do realize the obvious hypocrisy here? Trying to curse me to a life of harshness in the name of "not-harsh" discussion. And why would I confuse ha...
Have you even bothered reading my posts here? And how does Kant avoid that? He berates the people who use the expression "true in theory and not in pr...
If you bothered to copy paste the whole thing: Please explain your point again with the context added to your cherry picking definition game. That whe...
I never said I had the truth. Read more carefully if understanding is a goal of yours. I said when I persuade, only then do I presume to have the trut...
Yes, Wittgenstein even met Freud in Vienna, didn't agree as I suspected. I don't know why I didn't consider he would have just directly commented on F...
I will look into your summary, but here's also a summary: Psychologizing philosophy in the sense I am using is exactly to explain, and even to judge "...
Wittgenstein doesn't abandon his early philosophy, only mellows out a bit about it; maybe backing away from his claim "every philosophical problem is ...
Yes, but you can give justification to what you already believe without contradiction. It is knowledge in this sense, it is not "new knowledge", reaso...
I read the Tractatus to be motivated by hyper-pschologizing philosophy, which are forms of scientism. But as I mention, I do not foundationally believ...
I'm not disagreeing with this. We know what we foundationally believe in the sense that we know it because we believe it. We do not know it in the sen...
Wittgenstein was addressing the various psychological scientisms that was the rage of his day; pointing out it's mostly just confusing and new knowled...
Yes, it's a foundational belief. You can try to justify it without first using the law of non-contradiction. What's widely held is that no one ever ha...
I don't. "Belief" and "knowledge" and "justified" are applicable to our "foundational belief"; our ordinary language has no normal utility to name wha...
This is the tricky part in all this; there's no problem in conceiving of a justification for our foundational beliefs. It is not incoherent to add to ...
In agreement here, but not that the other judges would have supported the malitia interpretation. The SCOTUS and all the Western elites are statists, ...
