A comforting thought, eh? American lawyers are really closet Kantians, haha! :cool:

No it's not: https://www.google.com/search?q=negligence Same shit in every dictionary. Fundamentally, a lack of care.

Chemical engineering man, I feel bad for those smart alek's.

April 20, 2020 at 19:55
Yeah; but, as a Kantian yourself, doesn't negligence stand as a form of lack of duty or its detriment? I've always viewed law in the US as neo-Kantian...
April 20, 2020 at 19:24
Not really. Lack of knowledge about the law is a form of negligence in the US!

Negative. Unfucking believable.

But, life would essentially be fundamentally different. It would be a cosmic shift in being itself.

One where you get to live on Solaris.

A wallowsome situation about my credit. Ehh. But, I'm pretty rich with karma!

I'm happy because they started selling Cannabis based products at my local Shell station. Now, I get peace of mind for 3.99, which I'm considering swi...

Well, it's been very quiet in this thread. So, I hope to present some happy pigs in the meantime until someone posts a pic or whatever they identify w...

I dreamed last night of posting here. Wallowsome.

Don't take it from me. I'll let Hume have his say in the matter.
April 15, 2020 at 17:29
Lol, I'm being called a troll over defending my own position. C'est la Vie.
April 15, 2020 at 17:19
Well, there's this term is cognitive science called 'emotional reasoning' that deserves a mention here in my opinion. I'm not sure if every emotion le...
April 15, 2020 at 06:43
Uhh, I think everyone has emotions, so it seems appropriate here as far as I know. The question seems to me to be about the emotions that invalidate p...

This is some of the most relaxing ambient music I have ever heard. Am I a closet totalitarian? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-LMXP5sQTk
April 15, 2020 at 04:39
I guess, what I'm trying to say is that if morality is so rife with subjectivity, then ethics should be of greater concern than what one might conside...

OK, so I will address what @"Coben" has said and which you agree with. Namely, two points: 1. Treating philosophical pessimism as a meta-ethical issue...

@"schopenhauer1", please address this, as it was foreshadowing my recent questions. OK, I'll try and address the issue of philosophical pessimism and ...

@"Sam26", when you mention the arrangement of facts in logical space, please mention me. Regards.

Sup, nice to see you around. If ethics supercedes morality as the subject matter of inquiry, then why not say that all of morality begets in the domai...
April 14, 2020 at 23:16
Let me be brief and simply state what seems apparent about philosophical pessimism. Namely the slippery confirmation bias that a person might hold tow...
April 14, 2020 at 23:11
It seems from my Google-fu abilities that ethics supercedes morality. So, what's with the difference between the two, subjectivity??
April 14, 2020 at 22:55

Just called my previous psych unit. Going back there, and planning a prolonged stay.
April 12, 2020 at 02:08
If we're strictly speaking about perception, then there's a differential at play, being the subject. But, yes, the object is the same in reality. Eati...

Keynesian economics assumes that prices are elastic. I'm not sure where you're getting the notion that prices are inelastic. Even the prices for core ...

I haven't read Keynes's General Theory; but, to the best of my knowledge, they would implement in an active manner a price ceiling, if goods were beco...

Depends on the language, no? Mathematics, physics, and formal languages require no reference point as an "I". They're about as objective as you can ge...

Well, that would be true if an event in the market caused a uniform rise in prices. Such events are extremely rare, or a collusion between market supp...

So, the stipulation is all encompassing? How does that work?
April 11, 2020 at 22:04
Well, there's an implicit assumption made here. Let me elucidate. If all people started buying goods with such new disposable income, then, yes, there...

Perception requires a reference point, that will inherently be subjective. Fill in the dots.

I mean compare: Philo-sophia And, Philo-sophical pessimism. Humdrum, eh? @"Banno"
April 11, 2020 at 21:34
Then how do you differentiate between something apropos as your position against one that is equally based on a mood, such as philosophical pessimism?
April 11, 2020 at 21:24

Aesthetics? As in deriving joy in a position that discounts life itself?
