That's the spirit. Don't pretend you care about "reality" or some such bullshit
All arguments are smoke screens for our desires

Too bad you don't grok that an infinite number of categorization-schemes are possible!
Infinite labels. All of them correct.

Nope.
For example: there aren't 52 or 74 or 103 genders. There's just 2.
You can create 52 or 74 or 103, but, unless you're writin' fiction or craftin' a thought experiment, it's overkill and hooey, cuz there's only 2 to recognize.

I recognized 8 billion genders.
Your recogniser must be broken.

I second that.henry quirk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:04 pmYep.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 5:18 pmOne thing wrong with that is that it is negative. An ultimate principle would have to be a positive, not what one must refrain from doing, but one must do to be doing right.henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:57 pm A poster, elsewhere, sez: I am pretty sure the highest principle is "no harm". Morality.
What say you?
The second thing wrong with that is that it makes the ultimate principle, "social." That would mean the ultimate moral principle does not apply to how an individual lives his own life, only how he relates to others.
Both of those are wrong.
