AGAIN - and since you kept me up:- In WHAT way is torturing children KNOWLEDGE?

Read my comments above to Henry re: Mengele, and you'll get it.

You stated:- Would knowledge of how to torture children be "good'?

So what knowledge do you think there is in torturing children Immanuel?

See Joseph Mengele. As above.

[henry quirk]

Indisputably Mengle tortured kids. His torture methods extended out from his medical training (his understanding/knowledge of human anatomy). Arguably, as he tortured kids, he found out new things or interesting things about human anatomy and psychology.

So: Mengle, torturing kids, was an expression of knowledge and an adding to knowledge.

He was a monster, what he did was wrong, but let's not pretend knowledge wasn't a function of his evil.

STFU.

THIS IS A PHILOSOPHY FORUM IT DEALS WITH LOGIC.

YOU STATED THERE IS KNOWLEDGE TO BE GLEAMED FROM TORTURING CHILDREN.

WHAT KNOWLEDGE?

[henry quirk]

I know all this, I just see it (him) different.

I figured you did. But I thought I'd go over it, because the conversation's gone at least four ways at this point.

I like when things get all gordian knotted: means sumthin' interestin' is goin' on. Folks get all passionate, gird their loins, get to swingin' swords.

Amidst all the harumphs and curses thinkin' is goin' on.

WHAT KNOWLEDGE?

I can't help you out there, if you won't read what I said, or what Henry said, atto.

Let's not circle the drain here.

STFU.

Henry came along long after we had this debate.

YOU state there is KNOWLEDGE in torturing children. I am simply not sure what that knowledge IS. Naive I may be, but do tell.

atto, he answered your question, I restated his answer in my own plain way, what the hell else you want?

[attofishpi]

IC - you are quite simply one of the most pathetic, diversionary, coward debaters on this forum - which means you really have no faith in what you actually know.

Good bye.

"I'm just as bewildered as anyone."

I guess I should be too, but I find livin' in the world doesn't require a comprehensive understanding of the undergirding of the world, so I'm not.

Well yeah, I can tie my shoelaces without a deep appreciation of the finer points of quantum mechanics, but that's not really the point i was making.

If, for example, we discover the whole of everything we call Reality is just a dollop of cream cheese smeared on God's bagel, I'll be awfully surprised, will experience five minutes of existential terror, then just get on with it (living).

As Michael Faraday said: “Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”

[henry quirk]

I know. I was just bown' out, without grace, apparently.
