Re: Trump
Dismissing a viewpoint on the basis that it is “just an opinion" is meaningless. I don't believe in "authorities" like you do. So in this regard we have a fundamentally different view of the world. I simply don't care about the opinions of people who are regarded by some people to be...

Re: Trump
Sadly, scientists and environmentalists are nowadays facing increasing levels of censorship by right-wing governments around the world. They might be, but the links you gave didn't demonstrate that. What you provided were just opinions. The first link you provided voiced a person's opinion. The opi...

Re: Trump
Climate change is a far more serious issue than human rights. You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. In my view a basic level of human dignity and quality of life, which includes freedom of speech and freedom of thought (what I call "rights") - is the most important thing. There...

Re: Abortion
My impression is that a significant proportion of women are pro choice regarding abortion. Hi Rhett. I try to view the issue from a biological perspective. It's a common thing for animals to kill their young when they are unable, or unwilling to rear them. Human beings are animals. I know that ther...

Re: Trump
By far and away the biggest issue confronting us is climate change and the world-wide destruction of the environment. That's just a personal opinion. Others would say that the biggest issue confronting us is freedom of speech and basic human rights. Without these, the environment doesn't matter tha...

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump

Re: The social justice wars
Since matters of the world is dependent on self promotion and self promotion is dependent on attachment (feeling) I'm speaking of "worldly matters" in the sense of matters of the material world. For example, philosophical matters are of the mind, and worldly matters are of the physical wo...

Re: The social justice wars
I don't see evidence that the SJWs are using reasoning. Their conclusions are based on feelings and henids. They can't present a rational argument, which is why they are so dependent on name-calling or physical force.Pam Seeback wrote:those who passionately reason matters of the world (SJW's for example)

Re: The social justice wars
How is keeping the goal of attachment purification/cutting front-and-centre not THE only important task of the philosopher? Matters of the world are test of wisdom. If a person is irrational and uses logical fallacies with regard to matters of the world, then it means their wisdom is almost non-exi...

Re: The social justice wars
Women will be on board with this because they will feel that they are being included. No they won't. Feminists don't want a diversity of thought because truth goes against them. They don't really believe in diversity at all, but are using it as a ruse to gain power. Unfortunately most women don't h...

Re: The social justice wars
In recent times it has been revealed that the English police force allowed the mass sexual abuse of young girls - in Rotherham, for example - because of their fear of being called racist.

Re: The social justice wars
Woman’s proneness to being spooked is a reality that has to be dealt with. We can’t just ignore it, not if we actually want to resolve the issue. If we continue to pretend that this feature of feminine psychology doesn’t exist and continue to confront these left-wing women in a hostile manner, then...

Re: The social justice wars
The obvious problem with Twitter is that it's very easy to lie - both for the writer and the reader. It's possible to interpret a tweet to mean just about anything you want. That's why the media love it so much. It's like printing money.
