I'm looking for a proof reader for an English short story. About 3,000 words. Anybody game?

@"javi2541997" @"Metaphysician Undercover" I'm not sure why the inversion fallacy is considered a separate fallacy from the fallacy of denying the ant...

Bullshit. That you cannot wrap your head around it because you adhere to a definition of zionism that's ahistorical and wrong is your problem.
October 10, 2024 at 11:08
@"BitconnectCarlos" Of which there are many. You can be pro-Israel and against zionism, against war crimes and against disgusting reframing of colonis...

You need to earn respect. You simply lost it all.
October 09, 2024 at 20:44
It is different but it's not a footnote if my philosophy teacher was anybody to trust, who in turn really liked Eric Vögelin. He viewed it as a critic...

There must be a will that is overridden and this is absent. And yes, even under ITT, which is the most permissive theory of consciousness no AI system...

You shouldn't engage this insanity. The most moral army commits war crime after war crime. Only Jews shall have self-determination (in a place they di...
October 09, 2024 at 05:13
This is a bold lie. The history of Zionism has nothing to do with decolonisation. The idea of Jews returning to their ancestral homeland has biblical ...

AI is definitely giving me a headache from a compliance perspective... which is why I'm trying to write something that resembles a sensible code of co...
October 08, 2024 at 11:39
It is but I think what you're referring to should be found in the transparency that developers of AI systems (so-called providers in the AI Act) shoul...
October 08, 2024 at 11:32
Indeed a bit ambiguous. Basically, when users interact with an AI system it should be clear to them they are interacting with an AI system and if the ...
October 08, 2024 at 11:27
Can you elaborate? The High-risk definitions aren't mine. Which is not to say they are necessarily complete but in some cases existing privacy laws sh...

Is it? Or just expensive and sometimes artificially so?
October 08, 2024 at 06:41
I had ChatGPT anonymize the code of conduct I'm writing. So far: --- 1. **INTRODUCTION** The European Union (EU) advanced regulations for artificial i...

I shared citations with you setting out the facts. And you're just going "what about what I saw in the news?". The number of arrest certainly isn't in...
October 04, 2024 at 15:29
So am I.
October 04, 2024 at 14:05
You're a funny man and obviously have no idea how taxes worked in Egypt. Look it up, because you're miles off. Farmers had to give information about t...
October 04, 2024 at 13:42
Yes, they were very equitable back then until they weren't and the farmers starved. Maybe read a history book or something. But in any case, you're no...
October 04, 2024 at 12:44
It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of fact that pro-Israeli sides have committed violence in the US as well and the majority (97%) of all prot...
October 04, 2024 at 12:40
No it isn't. One is opposition against a political idea, the other is just plain hatred. And it's this sort of dumb shit that causes so many people to...
October 04, 2024 at 12:39
Having to deliver 15 sacks of grain you harvested is effectively income tax. It existed quite a bit longer, at least since the Egyptians.
October 04, 2024 at 11:03
Based on what? I'm sure that's the excuse the police will give you. Also the fact people confuse Jews with Israel is on the heads of many of your brot...
October 04, 2024 at 06:20
You are correct. It had slipped my mind when I was skimming the text again.
October 03, 2024 at 11:58
I can't find how Alameda Research was set up. Whether it was single or two tier. It appears single tier, making the CEO the representative of the comp...
October 03, 2024 at 06:50
Yes, because you do not care about police action in the Netherlands only to raise it in a thread where it has zero bearing. The subject is the Israeli...
October 03, 2024 at 05:41
Seems well corroborated across different sources but I wasn't aware he was running?
October 02, 2024 at 20:27
if only you would've gotten a hissy-fit about Dutch police refusing to act against extinction rebellion, which happened months ago, because they were ...
October 02, 2024 at 20:20
A different interpretation just occurred to me and we might be reading more into it than he meant. He seems to be nice to the poets, but is he really?...
October 02, 2024 at 15:38
Maybe setting up a guilt by association? The wealthy pay the piper and he plays their tune. So the poet is just a tool. Or undermining any claims to a...
October 02, 2024 at 13:55
Whether there was damage is irrelevant. You do not use the money of clients of another company, that you are holding on behalf of that other company t...
October 02, 2024 at 13:25
This comes from Tolstoy's observation about it in War & Peace?
October 02, 2024 at 08:31
It's simply about power. If you're powerful enough, humanitarian considerations don't matter because it's not beneficial to restrain yourself. Exercis...

Work gobbled up all my free time for the immediate future. Hope to get back to this at some point... :-(
September 30, 2024 at 12:35
Let's pretend that because it sometimes happens it isn't an issue? Really? The market doesn't operate that way. There's no price mechanism through whi...
September 29, 2024 at 06:47
"haha, I'll keep acting unethically and reap the benefits of unethical behaviour". Thank you for your irrelevant opinion.
September 29, 2024 at 06:45
:rofl:
September 28, 2024 at 15:29
That you didn't like how it worked in practice doesn't resolve the underlying issue that disenfranchised people are confronted with systemic barriers....
September 28, 2024 at 00:18
No, I meant not examined by larger society. Nozick obviously did examine it, although as you've surmised I think he misses the point. But some ideas a...
September 27, 2024 at 13:34
Their religious persuasion is irrelevant. They were forced to accept a division of land after decades of colonisation without any say as to how this s...
September 27, 2024 at 07:36
True but Nozick does invoke morals and it underpins beliefs held in wider society that to most are a self-evident truth. Nobody questions if they have...
September 26, 2024 at 21:13
A license to sell drugs, financial products or therapy seem to be rights that are independent of moral rights but instead agreement on how things shou...
September 26, 2024 at 16:11
Glad you liked it! To be honest, it's been awhile since I've really put an effort in something other than current politics. Actual philosophy takes ti...
September 26, 2024 at 15:59
Your remarks remain vague so perhaps I'm not simply understanding you properly. Nozick's idea is a basic and usually unchallenged assumption for many ...
September 26, 2024 at 15:16
Different issue I think. Let's assume both had a right to their income and this is the end result then this is not a matter of a moral right to income...
September 26, 2024 at 05:50
And yet many think people have a moral right to all their income and wealth and some even go so far as to say taxation is theft but when it isn't then...
September 25, 2024 at 17:18
I've considered it but probably not. At least, not because you produced it but if you produce ethically and nobody has greater need (a starving child ...
September 25, 2024 at 15:58
I think all social media is a blight on information sharing. Bullshit certainty exceeds truth and thoughtful doubt by a factor 1,000. As far as I'm co...

I had expected to find Rawls in there too.

Jesus. Which is why I'm never on Twitter/X/Elon's propaganda toy.
