>I think some people (children really) have a propensity to be bad That's... incredibly simplistic. When you're describing actions as good or bad you've already lost the truth. A child can have poorly informed priorities.

I think physicalism helps the natural sciences a lot with our current understanding of experimentation, and other positions help endeavors like phenomenalism. I am really having difficulty imagining an understanding of the natural sciences

Sure, but discrediting the disgust on the basis of it being valueless has a similar effect of discrediting the positions that disgust is based on, especially when you aren't adding value yourself. Mention some solutions! Otherwise you&

I don't think the reasoning of this individual deserves any other consideration than disgust.

For a philosopher you seem really combative and defensive of a really specific philosophical position. Isn't the whole physicalism vs otherwise (Cartesian duality?) debate inherently unfinishable? It would be quite a statement to say t

There have been studies that confirm sleeping outside results in sounder and healthier sleep. I think about it in terms of germs. Yes, on paper it's more safe to sanitize everything, but in doing so we prohibit our ability to build def

Any society of sufficient size will attract trolls who don't care about the worth of the society. I think politics and government are intertwined as a matter of history, not as a matter of inevitable fact. Political rivals can disagree

Probably a hot take, but I think this is a good thing. The line between political censorship and censorship in general is not as fine as everyone seems to think. For example, many people who aren't okay with political censorship are ok
