Actually the competing interests are the woman's bodily autonomy (not importance) vs the fetus' right to exist. Autonomy exists equally as a concept r...
A commonish, yet minority opinion. Though in cases, such as this one which features competing interests it is expected that some folks will find one a...
In my experience you are exaggerating the influence of governments and not addressing the far more powerful influence of corporations. "Governments" s...
Well, if one can be 100% certain of essentially anything, right or wrong, accurate or inaccurate, as long as one is convinced you're right, then this ...
Exactly. But more importantly the term "100% certainty" is consistent with being in error, as long as one is certain one is right, even if you're wron...
100% certainty from whose perspective? I can "know" with 100% certainty (from my perspective) that the world is flat. However from the perspective of ...
Certainty of factual accuracy of a subject is a comment on one's opinion concerning the subject, not an actual evaluation of the subject itself. In ot...
Because most value family, home and stability (at least some of the time) more than freedom, excitement and adventure. Young folks are on average more...
Well your commentary on "personal Jesus" is exactly correct, since gods exist inter-subjectively, every god of every religion is, by definition person...
Uummm... in a word: no. The percentage of wealth owned by the top 10% is essentially the same during the 1400s (a bit more than a century before capit...
In ancient Greece, my guess is there was no expectation that a formal justice system would provide justice. Thus the need for a metaphysical entity to...
Exactly. You agree that "know" and "true" can only be linked retrospectively (after truth has been verified) or in other words they aren't linked pros...
Ah so. Sure, groups like the American Cancer Society etc exist and make general, blanket statements like your examples. Mainly because they exist main...
To most travel means: vacation. Which implies your normal life is work, family and home. Nomadic "travel" is not that, and frankly most are not suited...
Ha ha, humorous post. But seriously you're citing questionnaire research (self reported) which is essentially garbage. There are plenty of "bragging r...
— LuckyR Although, there's something magical about unspent potential If you mean, cash reserves when you say unspent potential, then I agree money can...
Everyone "knows" they have made a mistake AFTER it has been discovered. But ten minutes BEFORE their mistake has been pointed out could be exactly the...
Your comments are accurate if (and only if) you define truth as one's own personal truth, not a generally accepted truth (which most define it as). An...
Alas, you are conflating the concept of money (an imaginary way of equating the relative value of various goods and services) with capitalism and mult...
Well, within the context of a philosophical discussion, the meaning of "know" has nothing to do with truth, it refers to understanding and memorizing ...
I disagree. In the first instance Jenny was told by Dan that he owned the blue Mazda he showed her. She believed what he told her (likely for good rea...
Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree that an idea superior to money can't come along or that UBI isn't a good idea. However, neither would be possible...
Well like most opinions, it depends on whose perspective you view the scenario from. I'm doing great and can't honestly come up with a past that puts ...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a Universal Basic Income require, you know... income? I'm interested to learn how income exists without appreciat...
I truly don't understand your first sentance. Of course that's my Modern human bias showing, but you can't write your sentance in this thread without ...
And how, exactly does one acquire clothing and pamphlets (books being almost impossible to manufacture in the absence of a modern style economy) in th...
Yeah that ended up being a reasonable conversation... once the ground rules (definitions) were identified. I believe the OP meant your third definitio...
Well, I guess I meant that I use vengeance as a specific term (which it is) in conversation with those who use it as an umbrella term (synonymous with...
You're correct though I didn't provide enough detail. The corn example has a circuitous route to the modern genetics. Namely, the first parent species...
New genes (can) lead to physical differences, which humans find desirable. Whether that "new" (to the species of interest) gene comes from a mutation ...
I don't disagree, though in my experience while masculinity is "opposed" by femininity, it is more useful to view them as opposite poles on a broad sp...
This was in a medical context. The head of the Ethics Committee was trained in medical ethics, but was a practicing MD, though his medical expertise w...
Exactly, in all issues of morality (itself being entirely a subjective endeavor) any conceivable viewpoint is likely a functionally "moral philosophy"...
As a field practitioner who served on the Ethics Committee for my field, the input of a professional ethicist I found to be valuable. Not essential, b...
How? Through interbreeding. While true that certain plants, like corn don't have a true single undomesticated "parent" species, they have two (superfi...
True. The umbrella (or "open to different interpretations") term I have weighed in the most recently is: vengeance. As in "do you approve of vengeance...
From a functional point of view, waitstaff have lower than minimum wage hourly salaries in anticipation of tip income. Counter staff and retail staff ...
Well, psychology saying we "ought" not be antisocial is valuing the common outlook over the outlier 2% that (let's be honest) preys on the other 98%. ...
