I was responding to the free food for all, that sounds pretty good to me, checks the moral and ethical boxes (let me just double check...yup that seems right). It doesn't viscerally offend me, maybe I should see a doctor?

You clearly aren't aware of the rule of acquisition 211: Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them.

You'd need political will for this, who do you think is willing to give this idea a shot/fund it? I'm betting it's the rich, and if you haven't already figured it out, they'd just create another engine of dispa

I'm not an adherent and used it for what it was trying to express. In fairness this was through the lens of reading Tolstoy that prompted me to reference the Bible as a piece of text that tried to synthesize the feeling of para-familia

The impetus for that feeling or set of decisions being familial bonds, I believe, is a different kind of selflessness. I'm not sure how you could detach the consequences from the antecedent. I guess you're making a deontological c

I suppose that goes for a lot of things. However, I wager the burden of why someone is bucking the momentum is more on people who _choose_ not to. Choosing to have a kid is difficult because 'anxiety is the dizziness of freedom' s

It's certainly an opportunity for selflessness but I'd argue that that's quite a generous take since I can't rightly see it being truly 'selfless' as it's still _your_ genetic scion. People often do the wo

You know what they say, the joy of wealth is inconstant. The perspective you've offered is real but as someone pointed out, it's worth reading the room. Emerson once said (to a rich man) something like, "Give this person the

True enough. At this point I suppose I don't disagree with you, though I've also lost the plot a bit. Hope you enjoy a restful holiday season wherever you are

Any further reading for the uninitiated?

Yes I agree with that, but having understood those laws (hypothetically), of which I guess you might be referring to human behaviour, evolutionary principles etc. How can we be sure that those naturalistic foundations could possibly inform

And just like that we've hit infinite regress and the core existential questions to it all, why must we accomplish, is it to be happy? Accomplishments are finite and can die/fade away/stop, so placing your worth and peace of

I'm not following you. Rocks and acorns are not outcomes of human political will, but our economy, society, and systems, among others, are. Maybe I'm missing something, I'm eager to understand your perspective further.

This is sarcasm I'm assuming?

by parthianshotgun 4y ago
Yeah, and I imagine for children the same is true, atleast from a face validity p.o.v, the opposite of that claim was so off kilter from what I know of the current literature that I was immediately intrigued.

I don't think the response to the mentally ill claim is a clever dodge, feels like the fictitious interlocutors are just having a bad faith (or maybe just plain ol' bad) argument. Why would someone suggest someone is violent? If i

Any idea why that happened? Did you fall down or something?
