What to you is bloviated waffle is for my purposes precise explanation. You went on with an unnecessary disquisition on “facts” and, to explain the orientation I am committed to, each element was needed.
There is really nothing more for us to say. Our viewpoints are irreconcilable.
“You” certainly do. It is essential and foundational in regard to that issue within a far larger context.You don't need a whole metaphysics to hold a view about whether sex should be exclusively for procreation, just a few beliefs will suffice. Your "elevated metaphysics" is just a world view.
But I do realize there could be a coherent utilitarian argument that holds that •sex should be exclusively for procreation•.
It depends on who is viewing, and who is evaluating.Nothing you've written suggests you have any basis for the big claims to superiority you've made.
When you — a pervert, a vulgar man committed to categories of ugliness, and like an intellectual termite settled in your project of undermining what is non-intelligible to you — when you are the evaluator I emphatically agree with you: the status of the outlook I value would have no right to assert •superiority•.
Yet those familiar with, or trained in, or awake to the categories of value I refer to, do indeed honor such a hierarchy.
I am growing tired of these useless exchanges. Put another way I have made my orientation clear in this public conversation. Can we bring this exchange to a close?
Would you like to have •the last word•?
Make it good ….
