It's the same as intelligence or pornograph: you can't measure or really define it, you just know it when you see it. Aka, it's not within the realm of science

Aka, it's not within the realm of science and people should stop pretending it is.
- Trasmatta 6y agoI never really liked that quote because of course you can define pornography. Just because it exists on a spectrum and there are grey areas doesn't mean you can't define it. That's the case for just about everything.
- Thiez 6y agoIt's a lot like Loki's wager. We can't decide where the head ends and the neck begins, so these things must be outside the realm of science. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki%27s_Wager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki%27s_Wager
- LatteLazy 6y agoPornography isn't just a spectrum though it is? It requires a multi variable analysis and even then different people disagree a out what is or isn't pornographic. Or is there some algorithm that will take a jpeg and 100% correctly tell us if it's porn or not? The same is true of intelligence or free will.
