There isn't one. @"SophistiCat" did create a Chrome and Firefox extension here, although it looks like they've since been removed.

ignoratio elenchi?

Again, this has nothing to do with my issue with you, which is that there's no point in bringing up the free will theorem. This just seems like a weir...

If he's going by the free will theorem then "the choice ... is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters".

This doesn't address my issue with your claim, which is that it is misleading to say that the free will theorem falsifies the principle of sufficient ...

A true random number generator, yes, but not a pseudo-random number generator. Pseudo-random number generators are deterministic. But if the principle...

This is misleading. It's not that the free will theorem falsifies the principle of sufficient reason, but that one of its premises denies the principl...

Even if we look at this from a legal standpoint, and not a moral one, someone who knowingly buys stolen goods from a black market isn't going to be ch...

The farmer isn't aiding and abetting and isn't responsible for my eating habits, even though I only eat meat because he kills animals. I'm not aiding ...

You've never explained it. You just asserted, once, that buying meat is an example of aiding and abetting, and then asserted, once, that aiding and ab...

Are you talking about the legal doctrine? If so, which country's law on the matter are you referring to, and what does that have to do with moral resp...

I don't need to absolved for what they do. Why would I? What they do has nothing to do with me. You haven't explained how I can be morally responsible...

It's sensible if you accept that people are free agents and that some other free agent is the direct cause of the immoral act. I'm not morally respons...

Do you have an argument to back up this claim?

Not all kinds of responsibility are moral responsibility. I want to know if indirect and partial causal responsibility entails moral responsibility.

Is indirect, partial responsibility sufficient to be held morally accountable?

Here you said that in deciding to eat meat I cause animals physical pain. That's just wrong. The only person who causes animals physical pain is the o...

Does it matter? I'm only arguing that it is a fallacy to claim that in buying meat I'm responsible for the killing of animals, just as it would be a f...

You're only responsible for paying the hitman. The hitman is responsible for the person's death. I'm not responsible for the slaughter, and nor am I r...

Don't have "password" as your password.

It doesn’t follow from any of that that I am responsible for what other people do. I’m only responsible for buying meat from a supermarket.

Except for possible health damage (which is debatable, and even then not an ethical concern), this is wrong. Buying meat from a supermarket doesn't ca...

This was supposed to be an example of the basic premises you mention. Basic premises are presumably ones that aren't supported; just accepted or not. ...

My unwillingness to allow another living being to cause me to suffer has nothing to do with ethics. It has to do with my aversion to pain, and other f...

Then what if I don't accept the premise that it is wrong to kill any animal that can feel pain? What if I only accept the premise that it is wrong to ...

Causing death by shooting a gun is a case of homicide, not aiding and abetting. And the relationship between pulling the trigger of a gun and the deat...

That's the very issue I tried to highlight in my post here (and also in another discussion here). There doesn't appear to be any measure that can be u...

It's not about attrition. I'm just asking why I need to justify my actions at all. Why is it that I must show that my actions are ethical, and not tha...

Assuming there is a fact of the matter, and assuming that we disagree on what the fact of the matter is, what can we do to determine the fact of the m...

I wonder what is the measure of right and wrong. One of my main concerns with moral realism isn't that it isn't even clear how one would go about veri...

Is justification needed? Shouldn't the burden be on the person who claims that it is wrong to eat the flesh of an animal (whether human or otherwise)?...

If we're dealing with statistics and have a confidence interval of 95% and a margin of error of +/-3% with a projected figure of 50% then we are 95% s...

I'm not arguing that it's OK. I'm arguing that eating meat doesn't make me responsible for the death of the animals. It might still be wrong to financ...

Who said anything about justifying it? I'm only saying that the person paying for it isn't responsible for what's done. If I hire a contract killer th...

'aye. Thankfully it was easy to restore. But still.

I don't hold an individual Trump voter responsible for the things Trump does as President, even if that Trump voter voted with the knowledge that Trum...

My individual demand has no affect on the supply. The market is too big for a single individual's eating habits to change the scale of production. My ...

"Negligible" refers to the amount of money I have contributed. "No effect" refers to the number of animals killed. The negligible amount of money I ha...

It was just Simpsons clips and a music video, so deleted for low post quality. Videos and images in the philosophy categories need to be actually info...

I agree. But in the case of the culture war, the left was right, and that's why they won. :up:

Not at all. If I say that I beat you because I cheated, it doesn't then follow that all winners are cheaters. It's just that in this particular case, ...

"Pen" in this case is short for "penetration". You're welcome for the opportunity this gives you.

It's not ridiculous if it's true that eating human meat isn't unethical, and you agreed that it isn't.

Your use of the term "paying for" is misleading. I exchange my money for some meat at a supermarket. That's the extent of my involvement. That the sup...

Bloody pen testers testing on a live server. Updated 500,000 customers to have the same fake name and email address. :groan:

How so? I didn't kill them. I didn't pay for them to be killed. They were already dead before I bought them. You would have to show that those animals...

Me eating meat doesn't kill or harm animals. Me buying meat doesn't kill or harm animals, either directly or indirectly (given that my individual cont...

The left won the culture war because liberal/progressive values are objectively better than conservative/traditional values. There, I said it.

Sure it would. It's wrong to hurt and kill people with CIPA.

I'm confused. What's suffering got to do with it? We were talking about intelligence.
