Seems to be 'privileged' information you're passing along. Weird.

Put all the facts on the table. Let the people decide for themselves based upon careful considerations of those facts. Allowing one candidate to knowi...

A travesty of justice performed on the American people, and the world... That is precisely what a presidential election without nationally broadcasted...

A national election without debate between the candidates in order to inform the public about what they stand for? Given recent events, that would not...

I personally cannot wait until the Bernie Trump national debates. Trump is like a juvenile on his feet. Bernie has self-respect and honor, and will ne...

Ok? :brow: Be well...

What morality is is not a matter of 'for you' or 'for me'. The SEP article I linked earlier categorizes uses of the term "morality" in one of two ways...

Moral behavior? "Moral" as in good or moral as in being moral in kind? Same question and/or concern with "moral intuitions"...

I'm granting the current conventional understanding of morality. The SEP has an article of the definition of morality...

I've offered an argument. The justificatory ground of which cannot be any stronger. Answering "no" and then neglecting to address the aforementioned a...

Throughout philosophical history, morality has been talked about in terms such as "utterances of ought". Such things have been called "moral claims" d...

Un is giving a rough and ready account of the article that this thread is about.

The term "populist" is being bandied about. Shame. "Nationalist" as well. Lose the terms, focus upon the issues involving what's best for the overwhel...

It's not a matter of why, it's a matter of how. When everything is broken down, categorized, and/or otherwise classified into one or the other... then...

The naturalistic fallacy typically involves denying that all naturally occurring things/events are good. With that sentiment, I wholeheartedly agree.

Reification already assumes a dichotomy between physical and nonphysical... real and idea. That dichotomy is inherently inadequate for taking proper a...

Set out what each of the fallacies requires in order to be a fallacy of that kind. Rational people are not always good, nor are all rational minds, ac...

Yes, modern psychology is flawed. It conflates thought, belief, and feelings, and often has the goal of making the patient 'feel' better.

Tarski focuses upon "is true" or as it's sometimes described "truth as a predicate". The problem with Tarski is that "is true" is not equivalent to tr...

Truth(as reality or correspondence to what's happened/happening) is not existentially dependent upon language. All conceptions of "truth" are.

Indeed. My only reply here thus far, prior to this one, began exactly on that focus... Substitution practices clarify the differences. It's good for d...

Othello for computers. :wink:

Virtual reality is existentially dependent upon reality... which is not 'virtual'. Meh.

In certain situations, say... when one promises to plant a rose garden on Sunday and nothing else unexpected happens to stop the plan, how can we disp...

Nice thread . Good stuff so far. Earlier there was a distinction drawn between modus tollens readings and modus ponens ones. The following is her seco...

I like to force people to leave others alone sometimes... dunno 'bout you. I would not call such action immoral. Yet, on pains of coherence or special...

Rights are afforded to humans... by humans; to animals... by humans. Power over people is acquired in only one of two ways. It is either given by cons...

Yep. Thought and belief anyone? :wink: Kidding. Hope you are well. I need to finish my reading...

Thoughts of good health sent your way my friend. :smile:

Telling? Nah. Pretentiousness looms large. Not all Sanders supporters fit your notion of "Bernie lovers". Gross overgeneralization looms large. The ma...

Spot on.

Do you see the difference between what I actually said and your report of that?

Was there an ongoing accurate tally to support this? Curious. I really do not know. Sarcasm?

They are denying any outside interference problems... currently anyway.

Funny. I do not remember saying that. Never would, in fact.

Yes. That is a pillar, of sorts, for this paper... or so it seems to me.

That's much the way I've taken it as well. She clearly suggests dropping the notion of morally ought, altogether... on page seven, and fourteen as wel...

She need not be a candidate in the 2016 election to have repeatedly claimed that "the system is rigged" years before. It could be that both use(d) the...

Yes. I think that those parts you've just quoted and others seem to be a clear indication that she is after a fact-based methodological approach, and ...

Actually, I think that was Warren's phrase of choice. Bernie was more about disclosing the fact that neither of the two parties had successfully intro...

Half way through... no more time. Very, very, interesting take though... through page seven. I like it. Why continue to categorize modern moral thinki...

Yup. It is only after becoming aware that things aren't the way one thought they were(only after becoming aware of being mistaken), that one begins to...

Wow. :grin: Even I have not received such outright blatant disrespect from the grumpy old goat, and I'm at odds with him(and myself at times) intentio...

ssu is not an American, and based upon his/her participation on these forums, has absolutely no vested interest in the success of the USA, but rather ...

An astute observer will have noted how Trump picked up some of Bernie's talking points after Hillary received the nomination in 2016. The only reason ...

Bernie Sanders is very good at drawing clean clear lines in the sand and making people choose a side... on the one side is what's best for the overwhe...

I would lean towards intentionally neglected to be mentioned by opposing candidates... not forgotten.

It's not about my imaginings. It's about the way it's supposed to work. Not all Senators are failing to perform sworn duty.

You do realize that most of(nearly all) the framers were against political factions(parties)... right? So, to point out partisan politics implying tha...

Impeachment is the tool of enforcement.
