Re: generational inequality

Re: Why is The Gettier problem still considered an open issue?

We could simply define knowledge as a fully justified true belief such that the justification conclusively proves that the belief is true. You are doing philosophy backwards. We don't define what "knowledge" is and then determine which beliefs qualify as knowledge. What we do -- what Gett...

Re: generational inequality

The idea of social equality is fascist bullshit, typically the moral assumption of morons, imbeciles, and Liberals. If I work hard, study hard, put in a lot of hours preparing for my demanding job, then why shouldn't I earn the market value for my skills? A doctor makes more than a bus driver becaus...

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

But none of the comments above can justifiably be called ad hominems So proclaims the imbecile without an explanation or argument! You are the paradigm online philosophaster: too stupid to know when you're speaking to someone lightyears ahead of you philosophically. This is MY THREAD, one in which ...

Re: Hello everyone

I cannot lie without giggling. Like, literally, if I try to lie, I start to giggle. I don't think I would make a good lawyer
Well, you could be a very specialized lawyer: one that defends only clowns.

Re: retired philosopher

Nice to meet you all. If I say something you think is stupid, please consider asking why I said it before telling me its stupid, because my general experience is that such replies dont understand what I was trying to say in the first place. So that's what I came here to say, so I can point to this ...

Re: New

Welcome era,

I like your humility. Asking the right questions is what separates the truly gifted thinkers from the rabble. I'm sure people would welcome your thoughts. I'm not sure if you'll learn to do philosophy here, but you'll certainly get lessons in how not to do philosophy.

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

Four years later, I am here to respond. I should have listened to Nietzsche: there are too many flies in the marketplace. After years of posting in philosophy forums, I've come to realize what a giant waste of time these places are. There has been one exception: ephilosopher.com, which no longer exi...

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

Now that the trolls' comments have mostly been purged, I will soon return to this thread. It's truly sad and pathetic that a placed named "Philosophy Now" would attract so many anti-intellectuals, dogmatists, trolls, and troglodytes -- all those antithetical to human reason and honest deba...

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

Why would you even expect an imbecile, nincompoop, and numbskull, like Me, to be able to spot an argument? Because you keep using the word "argument" like you know what it means, and you're a member of a PHILOSOPHY FORUM -- you know, just the place where people go to give arguments. You s...

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

You don't know what an argument is, so I'm not worried that you can't spot one.

Re: When Is Torture Morally Permissible?

Ha ha ha...I did say we wouldn't get any philosophy from the peanut gallery. Torture is never morally permissible. Suffering is permissible for learning. Pronouncements. No argument. Well first lets get it straight that 'intellectually' I realize that anyone that murders is mentally disturbed in som...
