If you're breathing both in and out 30 times per minute, you should probably speak to a doctor. There are a number of medical concerns that could be behind that, and rapid (and therefore shallow) breaths can fail to rid the body of car

Forgiveness isn't endorsement of the behavior. And it also doesn't depend on their changing. Maybe they won't change. Forgiveness is when you change, such that you are no longer unduly influenced in your present life by the

There are situations where you're disempowered, taken advantage of, or abused. Some people inappropriately generalize those experiences, and instead of being (appropriately) aware of the possibility of mistreatment or risk, they exp

But does what I'm saying also happen? Because if so, you're conflating forgiving with forgetting. This is advocating forgiveness, not forgetfulness.

You've got to make yourself responsible for your emotional reality, because you're the only one who can consistently influence it. Or at least, it's up to you whether you allow others to influence it. No one denies that peopl

> If you forgive the abusive partner, the loan shark, the casino, etc, you return to them No? Forgiveness is the letting go of the past. It doesn't mean going back to or repeating the situation. When you heal your broken leg, you do

Because, as the article describes, the books they're reading are extremely formulaic, to the point where the whole book may be made up of identical sentences, except for the final word.

Because it's morally wrong to charge someone for a product they already have, and then to cover up what you've done. It's likely also criminal, as fraud is illegal, but even if not the deceit should be something that makes yo

I'll argue that that should work, on some level. Communication with one's attorney is privileged for a good reason, and under your theory the police can interfere with that whenever they imagine the package you've mailed is

Does exactly what? Given that the discussion is of a utility function for human life, the first assumption a reader should make is that deontology isn't part of the picture: it's incompatible with utility functions from the get

A "counterexample" like infinite negative value breaks the system so easily that you ought to consider whether it's out of bounds, instead of being so certain that it's a counterexample.

by GavinMcG 6y ago
If the counterexamples are so trivial and obvious, the author must be a complete idiot, right? But of course they're not a complete idiot, so maybe there's another explanation, that you could have arrived at with a dash of chari

Even if the ranger were referring only to the bus, does two search and rescue operations per year not prove the point?

Sure, given that the point is merely to respond to those who claim many absolute allegiances.

By the original commenter's definition, value pluralism involves having zero , not many , core principles that are absolute. "Absolute" is the key word.

You do this by including units. 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3. And here, 1/3x + 1/3y = 2/6(x+y).

That's what "stalking" means. I sure hope no one's expanding the term to mean "contact tracing".

"Should" generally gets read as moral, especially when you bring in a comparison to lying, which is clearly a moral issue.

OP didn't say it was a bad paper. The criticism is that it wasn't something that lived up to its title. It's hardly unreasonable to point that out.

Alternatively, you should expect hard-hitting journalism in the "Explanatory Reporting" and "National Reporting" categories, but should expect skewering in the category of "Editorial Cartooning".

And, I'd add, gives to them specifically to be dismissive and to imply that the out group is failing to (or maybe isn't able to) understand things with the special insight the in-group has.
