Wait...a Corporation, who's entire revenue stream is generated from ads, doesn't care who their ads harm, as long as they make money. Shocking.. truly shocking

Shocking.. truly shocking.
- darkerside 3y agoYou realize normalizing this with comments like that is what makes it not shocking? Self fulfilling prophecy
- sonicanatidae 3y agoI wouldn't call sarcasm normalization of shitty practices, but ok.
- Dylan16807 3y agoSarcasm is just a way of phrasing things. Sarcastic comments can make almost all the same arguments that non-sarcastic comments can. If sarcasm makes fun of not expecting something, then it's normalizing that thing.

- epgui 3y agoTalk about a great example of David Hume’s “is-ought problem”.
- sonicanatidae 3y agoWe're really delving into sophistry now? Hume argued the fine lines between logical vs analytical derivatives and while he had a firm stance, others didn't and still don't agree wholly. Let's take his claim that reason does not stir emotions enough to cause moral actions. That's great and arguable, but why then would he immediately move to, reason can only excite our emotions if it informs us about the world. That's a blatant and obvious contradiction. His thinking leads to scenarios like his example of willful murder. According to him, the sole reason it's bad is our personal disapproval of it.
- epgui 3y agoThe point I’m making is that evidence of “how the world is” has no bearing on “how the world should be”. Facts don’t give rise to values, the two are independent.
