you say this:
1. As if you know, for sure and with absolute certainty, that 'we' all do not want to live in the 'same world'.
2. Without even actually seeking out and obtaining any clarification at all.
And, if all of you do not want to live in the 'same world', then there is the very reason why there is so much conflict, destruction, and killing.
Now, if you were not so closed here, then you could be shown, as I said previously, how absolutely every one of you did once want to live in the 'exact same world'.
What you have begun to assume here, and then believe are the only scenarios, is not True nor Correct at all.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am
I'm not sure what it means to say what you would want done to you if you were in their shoes but either this means in their situation, in which case the problem is that people want different things done to them, or if you were them down to their desires, in which case what you are saying is act how other people want you do, which isn't helpful either.
But, as it appears you are not open to, nor curios about, anything else here, so I will leave you with and in your own assumption and belief here.
So, you admit that 'we' all do agree on and accept some things. Which is, exactly, what I just said and pointed out. So, 'we' obviously agree on and accept 'this', as well.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am Also it is pretty clear that we don't all agree on and accept much,
Wow, this is another Truly shallow and even closed way of looking and seeing here.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am so "just doing" that seems like it is going to leave us with nothing we can do at all.
LOL you jumped to this absolute closed conclusion very quickly. And, considering you did not seek out one bit of clarification here, I wonder if you would even consider if your already made up conclusion and belief here is not as absolute as you have just proposed it is here.
I, obviously, have never said, nor implied, that 'morality' is not objective. So, what are you saying, 'No', to here, exactly.
I put it to you that you are absolutely Wrong, from my perspective.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am Also, while truth can be subjective, in as much as some things are matters of taste and therefore subjective, I put it to you that if the truth or falsity of a proposition looks like it is subjective and objective simulatainously, that is a sign that that proposition is improperly written.
But, this is just because you are using the words 'subjective' and/or 'objective' differently than how I do. And, as long as 'we' never seek out and obtain actual clarity of how the other one is using those words, then 'we' still to our own perceptions of things here, and never ever end up coming to agreement and acceptance, and thus harmony, as well.
I never ever thought that they are 'weird' either. So, why, exactly, did you add in and use the 'weird' word here.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am I don't think metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics are weird or overly complicated terms.
Also, I never ever thought that those terms, themselves, were overly complicated at all. So, why did you say and write what you did here.
What you have said and written here has absolutely nothing at all to do with what I actually said and wrote. Somewhat like how your counters above also do not actually address what I have actually said, written, and meant.
This is just because you have misinterpreted and/or misunderstood what I have actually meant here.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am Those are fairly standard terms used in discussions of ethics. This feels like an odd thing to pull me up on here given that I have used terms like "duplicate simpliciter" and "quantitative peronsal identity" without complaint.
But remember you and others are, still, in conflict. So, obviously, 'cutting down on the number of words' has not been working.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am So I'm happy to admit that sometimes I use a bit of jargon, but it does cut down on the number of words required to express a concept.
But, there is no concept at all that is 'hard' to what you call 'pin down', linguistically. Again, as I was saying and pointing out, you have been, and still are, over complicating things/concepts with unnecessary words. As shown in your next quoted words here.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am And, in cases where the concept can be a bit hard to pin down linguistically
The only reason it is hard for you to 'pin down' the concept of 'quantitative personal identity' is, again, because you have over complicated what is Truly simple, and easy, with the unnecessary words here.Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am (as is the case with quantitative personal identity), it can make it a lot easier to tell what someone is talking about.
Absolutely every thing, and concept, being discussed here is Truly simple, and easy.
There is absolutely nothing complicated, nor hard, here.
Well, to me, anyway.
I have absolutely no idea nor clue as to what you are even referring to here, exactly. Would you like to clarify what you are even talking about here?Daniel McKay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 4:12 am Further, that isn't my personal and subjective opinion. That is my reasoned conclusion using a normative theory and a sensible understanding of personal identity.
Also, what you call 'your reasoned conclusion' is, literally, 'your own personal and subjective opinion'. Just like those who disagree with 'your', so-called, 'reasoned conclusion' is their 'own personal and subjective opinion', as well. And, what they might well all call 'their reasoned conclusion'.
Now, if you would like to think that what you have said against or in counter to what I have said and written above here, is 'your reasoned conclusion', then I would not disagree at all. As you may well have made a so-called 'reasoned conclusion', but what you based 'that conclusion' on, exactly, was not in regards to what I was actually saying and meaning.
By the way, what is a, supposed, 'sensible understanding' of 'personal identity' anyway. And, what 'personal identity' are you even talking about and referring to here, exactly?
In fact, why did you even introduce the words and term 'personal identity' here for, exactly, anyway?
