Okay I misunderstood you when you talked about language games. I thought you understood my answer. I didn't realise you had a misconception of what a ...

If I’m conscious, I’m there, even though I’m always conscious, part of me always sleeps. Some parts are on the night watch.

say what now big fudge? Many if not all? Where do I factor into this?

You're smart enough, I'm sure you could have given the time. Sorry if it seemed like my original response came off as aggravated, it wasn't at you. Ju...

Dear gods people listen to Gregory! Gregory knows, be more like Gregory. Make it a fucking meme. Still though Gregory, you could have framed it a litt...

I really enjoyed reading this. A nice spread of information on some different conceptual and contextual formats of egoism. I agree with this. Ultimate...

Next people will start believing a no-cat is a real animal based on descriptions about the number of tails it has as opposed to a real cat.

No, not solved. Also a poor framing of the original problem. There is a town. It has two laws about Barbers. First law; Everyone has to be shaved by t...

Simple, sincere, elegant logic. :strong:

Did you do that on your own or did you translate my comment? :P If that's all you, noice!

Ma tha mi mothachail, tha mi ann, eadhon ged a tha mi an-còmhnaidh mothachail, bidh pàirt dhòmhsa an-còmhnaidh a ’cadal. Tha cuid de phàirtean air fai...

@"schopenhauer1" Whatever you believe, I sincerely hope you laughed at what he said. Cracked me the fuck up when I got to chimps in disguise, had to s...

Only if whether or not a belief is moral, is grounded on moral theories that address pleasure and pain as the be all, end all to the nature of our exi...

Woooo! Now we are talking! So we are at Hume, who believed we make moral judgements from emotional sentiment, not logic. Not what I believe exactly. L...

These are all reasonable questions and I'm sorry for not addressing this myself sooner. As I noticed that in some of your other comments you felt your...

Very appropriate to point out.

I'd call BS and say that this individual is contextually incapable of knowing what true happiness is, because they are in fact truly miserable and del...

What if morality is relative to context, not humanity? Descriptive contextual relativism. I'm going to argue from some of your points that I can agree...

What do you think I mean by fallacious? I don't mean wrong. If that helps you at all?

Edit: Duplicate post glitch. Flag for deletion.

This isn't even about being fair to others but about being fair to yourself. It didn't take Leonardo Davinci five minutes to do the Mona Lisa and Rome...

If I gave you an hour to paint something and you gave me a half assed drawing of a stick figure I'd know you spent five minutes doing it and 55 minute...

I'm not a professional philosopher either. So you can do better. Which you should take as a compliment. Your problem is fixable and it's relatively ea...

I second this question. I'd like to know too.

@"Aleph Numbers" Here's an example of an argument that although contains a fallacy, kind of rings true, since if pressed they would use your own lingu...

All I'm really asking of you; is this your best philosophical argument? Now be really honest with yourself. Is this the best you can do?

Yes it is. If every animal on Earth wanted to destroy the potential for life on Mars and destroy Mars with a death star it wouldn't make it right. You...

"If 6 billion people claim that torture is justified in certain contexts, by way of majority it must be true." - Argumentum ad populum. Whether you sa...

To me, what you are describing here would be an interesting form of democracy and an ideal situation to me. I do take issue with the word axiom being ...

Some Kalevi Kull too. I might not respond again today which I apologise for. This is a really good debate and discussion and I appreciate you starting...

Read Charles Hockett. Then we'll talk.

Coming down on this one word, you only use it because you are assuming that human characteristics are not just animal characteristics in the first pla...

I was using this forum as an example of a place where such a belief could be argued to be part of the culture. Would you prefer the culture of an ethi...

Although I think Educational psychologist William Perry might have coined the term Contextual Relativism but in relation to student cognitive developm...

Unfortunately you've led yourself right back into cultural relativism I'm afraid. :/ What you would be attempting to describe is our global moral cult...

At this point, if he doesn't mean Ideas, I'll be disappointed.

I know you were addressing this to @"Pfhorrest" but do you mean ideas?

Since we are talking about all animals, I'd like to add to your argument, by pointing out that police dogs receive no formal pay, feed, board and medi...

One of the things you mentioned, protests, isn't a problem and by law the people have a right to protest. The majority of the protests have indeed bee...

Agreed. I wish it was a heavier focus in schools. Philosophy should be part of the core curriculum. I've never been to University though and I dropped...

Well thank you! I just got lucky though, I read his response three times before I noticed there was an assumption.

Thank you, I think? Sarcasm or sincere? Always hard to tell in writing.

If that is all you're aware of, aren't you making the assumption that they are Antifa? If you don't know either way then mighten they not be a false f...

That's fair, I'm a pragmatist though so I don't tend to divorce from the practical details as I see them as being relevant to the philosophical though...

I agree to an extent in terms of if these mental health conditions are treatment resistant by way of traditional methods. It's important to weigh up t...

My thinking exactly. End of life care or treatment resistant pain issues would be fine so long as there are a panel of professionals making decisions ...

Mostly agree but not with the legally procured part. There are a handful of chronic pain issues I could claim I have that a Dr can't reliably test for...

It's all good, we've all been there where we get overwhelmed with engaging with multiple people. My Push the button post yesterday did that to me too....

Not really a good comparison. The brownshits were assaulting jews, gays, the disabled, Jehovah's witnesses and sympathizer of those demographics, plus...

I simply love how the antinatalists in this debate are behaving as if the antinatal conclusion is and always was self evident. It most certainly is no...
