Re: What could make morality objective?
Though it should be noted that Kant's - transcendental idealism is neither transcendental, nor idealism - transcendental realism is neither transcendental, nor realism - phenomena don't mean phenomena and noumena don't mean noumena - empirical doesn't mean empirical - abstract doesn't mean abstract ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
Kant didn't view the mind as a separate, non-physical substance. Nor does indirect realism. Where do you have this random obsession from? Phew. So the transcendental ego is a physical thing that transcends mere sense data, as is the mind that experiences mental representations of reality, rather th...

Re: What could make morality objective?
Now, answer this question: If there are no noumena, then of what are phenomena phenomena? Or consider this: If there are no things-in-themselves, then appearances are not appearances of things-in-themselves. Or try this: What does a transcendental ego transcend? You haven't begun to think criticall...

Re: What could make morality objective?
By intersubjective consensus, the Quran will always be more credible than science. Thank you, second prophet, for your immortal contributions to Islamic world dominion.

Re: What could make morality objective?
Try explaining to an anti-realist Muslim that Allah doesn't exist. You can only try to do that in realism by pointing out that you can find rocks and trees and such in the external world, but you can't find Allah. But once everything is in illusory limbo, and we decide things by intersubjective cons...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
How much influence do these Evangelicals have in the US now? Luckily there seem to be few of them in Europe. It is a pretty large block, and their influence is notably strong, but I could not say more than that. Christian Zionism is very strong in the US and all presidents since WWll have been Chri...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Not true. CHristians have always been front and centre of Israel/Palestine. Sir Arthur Balfour, a Christian wrote the Declaration handing the territory over to the Jews. Sykes/Pichot the ENglsih and French Officials that carved up the ME after WW1, both CHristian. Every president of the USA< and Fr...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
The Jews dragged the Christian world into that conflict, otherwise the Christians don't even care about the Middle East. It would be fair to say that Israel has embroiled the US in the region, and to point to Jewish Neocons outside of Israel as instigators, but Christian Zionism preceded Jewish Zio...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Though his morals are christian, he is not the worst or most immoral christian moralist. There are thousands in the US egging on the Gaza genocide to bring about "rapture" and the final solution of Armageddon. It's not that theism erases a conscience, it is that theism justifies a hateful...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Not particularly relevent. He's only a sociopath because of his theism. And fuck his "conscience". His morals are disgraceful. That's where you guys (Harbal, FDP) are very mistaken imo, theism can't erase the conscience so universally from someone, especially not Christianity. Technically...

Re: The Illusion of Illusionism
Yeah that didn't make a lick of sense. Yeah, I'm sure that is what I said about your post. Now you're resorting to "I know you are but what am I?" arguments? Pathetic. How did you go from 'there is no cozy basic thing like information or relations, that everything reduces to' to 'thinking...

Re: The Illusion of Illusionism
How so? Seems like you didn't bother reading my whole post. If it's abstractions all the way down does that not prove my point as well? "Abstraction all the way down" makes no sense. Abstract vs concrete thinking is a dichotomy of human thinking, it's a way of thinking, that can't be all ...

Re: LGBTQ+ foolish alliance with Islam
Muhammad showed what to do with people who didn't consider him divine. There were three poets in his time who criticized him, so he had them assassinated. Not something Jesus would have done.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 12:09 pm pedophile warlord that only stupid people would consider as 'divine'

Re: Senior Military Figures send WARNING letter.
I looked back, looks like Sculptor almost identifies as a Palestinian, and his/her feelings were hurt. And I guess it's rather easy to accuse someone of hate speech when one takes a side in that conflict too strongly and is too vocal about it. You mean the side that says burning babies alive was ju...
