Re: Why search for moral objectivity?

My instinct and training in psychology tells me there are additional reasons for the attraction to moral objectivity felt by philosophers. If u'll notice, only being at odds in ethical theory will a philosophical matter be taken personally. For instance, u'd never be angry at me or disappointed or e...

Re: True Story of the Day

26' ladderless and without any helpers, two renegade carpenters, muslim and nihilist, defy all odds to build an impossible staircase.

Re: the death of OJ...

How funny would it be if the coroner changed the time of death section of the certificate to 'juice expiration date'?

Re: US Democracy is a wasteland

Rosa Parks was one of the most notorious domestic terrorists in American history and any literature condoning what she did should be destroyed immediately.

Re: philosophical assumptions of ours

Even my anti-conformism is fake, keter. I can't even be a rebel today becuz it's already a trend, a commodity, and I'm just conforming to another spook, playing another role as Anarchist or Nihilist rather than an individual anarchist or nihilist.

Re: Dopson's Paradox

And c'mon Roy, you're missing even the simplest logical problem with your thesis there. If all language is a deception, and your post is written with language, then your post is a deception and i can dismiss anything said in it.

So obviously that can't be the case. U gotta rethink that premise, bro.

Re: Dopson's Paradox

"All language is a deception and all of humanity has fallen for it. This is the fundamental cause of all suffering." See now i was thinkin the opposite. Language is the single greatest tool we've ever had that's helped us minimize suffering the most. The opposable thumb being a close second.

Re: True Story of the Day

Closed the window and can't remember to what and where i was posting. Romanticism is like Ideological ghosting. When your model isn't workable anymore but the fantasy of it remains as a kind of mental construct that allows u to condemn the present circumstances as teleologically wrong, as a mistake,...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue

Here's the main problem with nationalism, bro. Before its effects it's legit. There is nothing objectively 'wrong' with wanting and striving toward communities and even nations composed of a basic subrace of humans that are genetically very similar and whatever. Show me where it says in the universe...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

"Atheism and agnosticism can also be merely comforting. The issue remains not the level of comfort of the speaker, but the truth." Ew now this is kinda clever. You're actually reversing the general trend's history and calling the thing once associated with skepticism toward platonism, meta...

Re: What is tolerance?

Also note that unless one is physically able to eliminate what one has decided to tolerate instead, could the gesture be called 'toleration'. A slave doesn't 'tolerate' his circumstances, he endures them, is forced to. It is not some tedious little annoying thing that he tolerates and allows to exis...

Re: Gang violence is not the problem

Well I'm sorry all this is hegelian and you're tryna tamper with the historical dialectic by stopping the rational conclusion to global capitalism which is total annihilation and low yield nuclear wars meanwhile.
