No, you just have to cut them a little slack for two seconds of your life rather than deliberately undermining them when you don't know them and it's none of your business.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 12:00 am It's not enough that I leave them be to do with themselves as they like, I also have to agree with them, no matter how outlandish or just plain wrong their self-assessment is, yeah?

Re: It's simple: MYOB and don't be deliberately cruel
That's not what this is about. Stop making it so personal. As a matter of fact a 'transwoman' is nothing like a woman. I am sure they think they are, but they are not. They are something else altogether. They are caricatures of what they think women are.Greta wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 12:28 amNo, you just have to cut them a little slack for two seconds of your life rather than deliberately undermining them when you don't know them and it's none of your business.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 12:00 am It's not enough that I leave them be to do with themselves as they like, I also have to agree with them, no matter how outlandish or just plain wrong their self-assessment is, yeah?
Re: The Insidious Power of Pronoun Discrimination
You just figured that out? The love of wisdom is expressed in philosophy. The human search for meaning is found in philosophy. The Secular Intolerance thread revealed how the goals of philosophy are sacrificed to the love of argument, condemnation and self justification which is are dominant influences in the world.Greta wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:43 pm Some of the comments here are shockingly ignorant for a philosophy forum. Normal for Facebook and Twitter for people to blather on without knowing ANYTHING at all about what they are talking about, but it's sad and embarrassing on a philosophy forum.
All of the research regarding human diversity of the last half century is seemingly just thrown out of the window here and we return to the early 1950s before Christine Jorgensen hit the headlines. The brain studies showing differing brain structures according to gender identity are completely disregarded.
People here apparently don't realise not everything that is real is visible. Kant would be weeping in his grave to see what "philosophy" has come to.
Objective human meaning is found above Plato's divided line and yes Kant was well aware of it.

Re: The Insidious Power of Pronoun Discrimination
That's why both Plato and Kant were wrong.
You can observe human 'meaning' from the most simple of English sentences if you just paid attention. The utterance "I".
From the line Forms + Mathematical knowledge.
"I" is self-reference. Self-reference is recursion. Recursion is computation.
Computation models (Forms!) are mathematically intelligible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computability_theory

Is this child abuse from a law enforcement perspective, or from another perspective?

At around :34 they start talking about the monster pooper, and eating poopies.
There's a bit more going on than ... freedom to be!
