  • Do I need a good argument for you to respect my opinion?

  • What if I want the right to vote?

  • Do I need a good argument for you to respect my opinion?

    Jump

  • Some opinions cannot be explained. For example "chocolate is better than vanilla".

    There are a lot of those. It's the earth upon which all argumentation stands.

    So at some point the question arises, "do I respect the individual?"

    But for us, on the internet, the individual doesn't really exist?

  • But language cannot convey perspective. It can only refer to it. Language only works when perspective is shared.

    If perspective is not shared then, tho we use the same words, the meaning we assign to them differs. We may appear to be communicating but we really aren't quite, there's something broken there, and that brokenness generally gets translated as "this guy is just stupid".

    This is a problem with language and the internet.

  • It isn't a worldview devoid of reason. It's perfectly good reason based upon a set of assumptions that differ from yours.

    Reason is the house. The assumptions is the ground upon which the house is built.

    Some ground is rock, some swamp, some flat, sloped... all require different house designs. Dig?

  • How does authority figure in?

    I don't understand his reasoning but he's got a good reputation. Or cites such.

  • What if they simply see things differently?

    Chocolate is better than vanilla. Argument? Of course not.

    Argument requires shared assumptions. If the assumptions are not shared then you can't argue.

    And then what's left? Respect for the individual?

  • If we could dispose of respect for the individual, then we could replace democracy with science. That would be efficient.

  • So it depends on the threat level. That's prudent.

  • But what if my perspective differs?

    Argumentation cannot account for that.

    Argumentation requires a shared perspective and shared axioms.

  • How old are you based on economic experience or position?

    Jump

  • My mom (80) has 20 mil or so. (Dad dead)

    But she cares only about partying and home renno and refuses to even buy her kids a cup of coffee.

    So we wait like vultures.

  • Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?

  • Cat

  • What's up with all the masks? Do they want to be anonymous?

  • Aaron Rodgers says AIDS was created by the U.S. government in the 1980s

    Jump

  • You people are the drunkest, horniest person at the party. You will do literally anybody. Philosophically speaking.

  • That and 50 cents will inspire me to outrage, but most of these people are cheaper. How dare he criticize the popular narrative etc.

    If (favorite scientist) told you to cut off your nose, you'd do it.

    You are all so doomed.

  • TIL about exploding head syndrome, which causes patients to hear a loud, frightening noise when falling asleep or waking up. Up to 10% of people may have it, but cases often go undiagnosed

    Jump

  • Apparently not

    Jump

  • Yes. Me too.

    I would describe it as the sound of a big quick blast of compressed air. Like when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

    Which is pretty similar.

    Short loud white noise.

    A flash of white light in sound form?

    Jump

  • Me.

    It's an explosion in my head.

    Like this : imagine a sound. For example, a cat meow. Meow meow. You doing that? Are you "hearing" that meow in your "mental sound space"?

    Now imagine the sound is 500x louder. And it isn't a meow, its an explosion.

    It sounds like the blast of compressed air when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

    That's what it's like.

    It happens in half-sleep.

    I've had big blasts that make me go "woah" a couple times a month since forever. I had a really big blast that made me go "holy shit!" just a couple days ago.

  • Identity politics and universal pseudonymity arose at the same time.

    Jump

  • hey look the monkeys are upvoting you

  • Identity politics and universal pseudonymity arose at the same time.

    Jump

  • Nope, I mean identity politics. IE popular concern for the details and ramifications of identity, so great that it rises into the political realm.

    Tell me that you didn't notice.
