If free speech means that one man, Rupert Murdoch gets to control the political process then it might be high time we revised what it means.

So again how will I KNOW that what you write is an actual fact or just an opinion What can I do to be able to tell the difference You could simply ask me the question is that an actual fact or just your opinion This is what I would do were I unsure and wanted to know what the answer was Mostly stat...

The Golden Rule whilst is an 'ought' it also incorporate "is" i.e. the "what you do not want others to do unto you" which is abstracted from experiences then reasoned. How else is the Golden Rule abstracted from if not from 'experience' i.e. "is". You are just being ridiculous. There is no objectiv...

Also Mini AOC? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJnPseMneDU No not like her at all. But I would say that your example is smarter than YOU. Your comments are indeed childlike. Mini AOC still has the charm of innocence so her regurgitation is at least cute. Poor Greta your heroine has been corrupted a...

Thunberg says she first heard about climate change in 2011, when she was 8 years old, and could not understand why so little was being done about it.[14] Three years later she became depressed and lethargic, stopped talking and eating...

Here is my refined inductive argument; 1. ALL Humans exist as living beings [self-evident] grounded in reality. 2. ALL living human beings [except rare exceptions] will NOT want to be killed as expected to be proven by the test below. THis is irrelevant, because it does not apply to all. 3. The Gol...

Kant was inspired by Hume, who among the Empiricists most conclusively drew attention to the facts that we have a range of senses that give evidence of things that exist in the real world, but were necessarily not able to give a complete picture. In the period since Darwin it is painfully obvious th...

a Confused statement. s". confused response. Why don't you guys try to work through an actual example? Start with a morally interested fact, where you both agree it "IS" true. Then see if you can both agree with an undeniable reaction as to how one "OUGHT" to respond to it Do you have any actual ex...

So you don't think a "mug" is more simple than Quantum Mechanics? Okay? Like I said, the more analogies the better, and for someone else, your particular analogy might resonate better (be more mentally accessible) than my analogy. The QM example is not accessible at all, except to a handful of scie...

...like a father. .. Er? A father is an abstract object which is needed to categorize father from other things abstractly. My father is a real object. We have "my father" as an abstract object too. We have the ability to relate an abstract object to a real object. That is how we understand reality ...
