I don't quite understand your point. Are you saying that people shouldn't be treated as objects?

Then that's the issue right there. If they don't care or such, then monopolies, oligopolies and such will just expand their power in light of no regul...

Yeah, so everyone is biased and fickle. Therefore, what?

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one ought to practice quietism. :blush:

Not whatsoever Bitter Crank. I am saying that you have been cheated if nobody tells you, you can't recuse yourself, which is the choice any sane perso...

I say recuse yourself, and the dilemma gets transferred to someone else, perhaps more competent about the value of the people who ought to survive or ...

Yes, it is; but, it is not a solution unless everyone is not playing on a level playing field, and I have created no straw men as much as I've tried i...

These are epistemic conditions over which (a non-ignorant, pun intended?) individual has little "choice" over. But, it is not. Bias is everywhere. Jus...

Was that the alternative? Because if you want to game theorize this, you cannot have a sane person making such a choice....

No, I am recusing myself, as I have noted. Anyone who claims to have a solution to your problem is the problem.

But, let me present the dilemma to you in standard form. 1. You have a choice. 2. Your bias influences your choice. 3. You can choose to act on your b...

I believe I have expressed what you are trying to say. That no ideal (non-biased) standard can be implemented if people are to decide who lives or die...

Tiif Tiff hurrays!

It's revealing to see some members so quick to find some "solution" to this problem, where there really is none. Those that would praise someone as "c...

Not necessarily. I would simply recuse myself due to bias. Hopefully, everyone would do that. Those that don't perhaps would qualify for extermination...

I'm saying that no method ought to be applied, it inevitably leads to a reductio ad absurdom if we truly or sincerely believe in the democratic method...

I should explain. Any rationale (one of which I wanted to propose), such as a utilitarian analysis of the utility of each individual, or a rationale b...

All answers lead towards fascism to the problem, so that's a reductio for ya.

Violence as a good for society? Dunno about that.

Phanks broseph. Can we like exchange numbers and laugh at each other's misery in life or sumthin?

I already requested a psychology sub-forum to be directed towards the Humanities and Social Sciences one. I would like to see guidance and advice one ...

Just joking with you. Forum sociopath.

Ahh, @"S", has done it again. I suppose the only place for such a pathetic OP is the lounge.

Well, a disabled person has little of vale to offer in some utilitarian sense. I also thought about developing a strong ego but that's like inflating ...

Does wallowing count?

How?

Nu. Nu. Bad S ...

No chocolate. Only wallowing.

I don't know it for sure. I feel as though women can just as well carry on with the same tasks that males do with equal or even greater efficacy.

But, that is confirmation bias, and you know it. So, what other bias will you present here?

By what measure?

Wallow wallow My heart is sweet and sour Bitter Crank has the power Sir2U is a real howler His feud with S is like cancer Wallows is full of anger Une...

How can that be? Just the fact that they're women?

Complaint clinic success!

First heard of them.

Thanks for sharing. Edifying read.

Yes, the dogs kept him warm at night.

On disability and have nothing to do.

Where is it. :D

Oh that poor fellow. It was a profound story when I heard it. I am haunted by it to this day.

Yes, I've read somewhere that Diogenes would walk with a lantern during the day looking for a real man or sage or someone worthy of praise. I guess th...

Or we can speak in a hypothetical question manner. Why would anyone be a Cynic and does that entail homelessness?

Well, there can be people who voluntarily choose homelessness. I don't have the stats on hand but you've heard of them too I would assume?

I request that this topic is sectioned off. It's run its course and there's not much more to contribute here.

Sounds great. Wallow wallow... When I cry my heart is sour, ...

No thanks. Hope you feel better soon.

I politely asked you not to comment on my psychologically ill and apparent dementia or developing Alzheimer's. So, I won't comment in return to your p...

So, what you're really saying is to stay impartial towards reading a text. I agree. I've seen in my reading group threads hasty conclusions or ideas p...
