For all practical purposes there never was any evidence of election fraud.

Do you mean this from:

your perspective?

Some people's perspective?

Every one's perspective?


Thus, is 'your claim' here:

your truth?

Some people's truth?

The actual irrefutable Truth?

There is a difference between the qualified and unqualified versions of the "no fraud" claim, Pete, and it's crucial. Omitting the "nearly sufficient to change the outcome" qualification isn't summarising, it's traducing. Instead of generating a useful discussion of the evidence...

Empathy is generally a good thing. But there are nuances to the concept of empathy, i.e. blind empathy which can lead to very negative consequences. There are parents who empathize with their child for reason X but that could compromise on Y which could be negative. For example a parent may empathi...

The thief has different feelings. How do we know, given Subjectivism, whose feelings are right? Well each thinks they are right, just like it is with objectivism. Not so. Each may "think" they are right. But both cannot possibly "be" right, because they're opposite actions: stee...

How do we know, given Subjectivism, whose feelings are right? How do you know how you currently interpret your Bible is right? I'm not sure how that question relates to Subjective Morality. Maybe you'll explain. Because what is in the bible is subjective morality, obviously. Are you really this bli...

False. The claim 'all humans do not torture and kill babies for pleasure' is not a moral assertion. It's a factual assertion with a truth-value. It has no moral entailment whatsoever - as neither would it's negation: 'all humans torture and kill babies for pleasure'. Although you are right about 't...

Just like some of 'you' still believe that the Universe began, and/or is expanding, although there is not one solitary piece of 'proof' for this. The evidence supports the view that the universe is expanding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe It is unreasonable to ask for proo...

If there are facts [even if there are no facts], opinions, beliefs and judgment of them do translate into real actions. So yes, to repeat: the important question is: are there moral facts - moral features of reality - so that moral assertions have factual truth-value, regardless of opinion, individ...

Oh, I see. And we may be talking at cross purposes. My point is, if there are facts of any kind, then opinions about them are irrelevant. Iow, we can and do have our own opinions, but we can't have our own facts. For example, is physics 'subjective' in the way you say morality is? If there are fact...

Even if there were moral facts, there would still be subjective moral opinions, so these things aren't mutually exclusive. As I say, I think we all know about subjective morality, so it would be more interesting -I think- to explore how there could even be such things as objective moral truths. Oh,...

There is One Universe, only. How can you be so sure? Once again, for you, because of the definition of the 'Universe' word. Which, by the way, is infinite and eternal, and did not begin and is not expanding. Everybody else considers the idea that the physical universe is "infinite and eternal&...

I do not have to. your so-called 'arguments' refute themselves, in regards to the theory that there exists a 'multiverse' made up of universes. The multiverse hypothesis is not particularly new. In fact, there are also quite a few theories in physics that also subscribe to the idea: Once more, they...

What you do not seem to be comprehending and understanding here "godelian" is that, by definition, the One and only Universe can never ever be within a multiverse. Why do you not comprehend and understand this irrefutable Fact? You do not even try to refute my arguments. I do not have to....

Now, for those some that, still, LOL 'know' that the Universe expands and/or that that expansion is accelerating what actual 'proof' do you have for this 'knowing'? Redshift, among others, being a physical fact. you must have misread or misunderstood my actual question here. I asked for 'actual pro...

It doesn't teach me anything, it guides my conduct. For example, it prohibits my going onto internet forums and lying about stuff. 😇 It doesn't, actually. You have a subjective twinge. When it goes away, you won't have it. What part of that deserves the honourific "moral"? It's just twing...
