The author doesn't actually ever present an ethical system they believe: the article is a summary and critique of a variety of ethical systems.
I'm not sure what basis you have for the implicit claim that we don't exist in "loose animalistic structures".
Wow, neither of you actually finished the article. Both of you are claiming the author believes viewpoints that the author presented in order to show problems with them. Ultimately, the TLS didn't even claim a…
As someone who just bought a bunch of life-or-death climbing gear from Amazon, the idea of counterfeit goods is terrifying.
Speaking as a alcoholic with some sobriety, those laws were little more than a speed bump when I was drinking. I drank as both a child and a homeless guy with little problem. I'm not saying those laws shouldn't exist,…
"Parole" refers to any situation where someone is given some trust for a period of time before they are given complete trust. It usually refers to people who get out of prison but have to check in with a parole officer…
Ah, yeah. That's problematic.
Of course we would want that, but that's not what we get. The rich pay few taxes and the international rich pay even less, given they already have offshore tax havens by the nature of being from another country. Given a…
> The government doubled the price of the plan or more, and is paying with our tax dollars the difference between my $270 and $780. Do you have evidence that the government is the main cause of the increase of the price…
Okay, it's fastest-growing, but is energy-conscious lending anywhere near the size of subprime mortgages? Even if it is, it doesn't seem like as big a tragedy if the bank seizes your solar array as of they seize your…
See my response to your sibling comment.
All this explanation amounts to stating positions in what seems like a fundamental disagreement, so I'm not sure how to dig deeper. At some level I agree with you that justice unevenly served is not justice, but I guess…
> If anyone can answer what the 'correct' interpretation of a piece of writing is, it's the author. Why is that? There are a myriad of ways to analyze a piece, and many focus on reader response rather than authorial…
Maybe, but it's also justice being served. When a poor black man in America is arrested for a rape, it's racism and classism because a rich white man is far more likely to get away with that crime. But it's also…
My criticism of philosophy nowadays is not that it isn't valuable to read, but that it's not read from a historical perspective. Instead, people to often read i.e. Aristotle as if it contains modern truths. While some…
I do not care about the rearrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic that is ES6. I wouldn't care if JS were uglier than Erlang, if it worked as well. The only people who care about ES6 classes are the ones who couldn't…
Integrating a library requires a lot of thinking, or you'll integrate libraries that are immature and break, or don't exactly fit what you wanted and have to be hacked around. I've had to work in projects that used your…
I know Javascript well enough to avoid it when possible.
Almost no one makes money off ads either. Sure, a lot of the people you can think of with websites make their money off ads, but that works because they're probably very famous.
Methinks that if the standard of evidence you require is an unlimited-length study of an entire nation, you may be seeing the bar of evidence too high because of presuppositions. There are plenty of things you believe…
Indoor farming requires does to be in.
But higher positions weren't based on the value of work, they were based on nepotism, corruption, etc. Incidentally, I think that's essentially how capitalism works too, but if you're going to claim that work determines…
The punishment I'm describing isn't work, the unemployed don't have that. The punishment is unemployment, and the associated depression, homelessness, starvation, etc. You have yet to respond to what I said. Your…
How does your myopic focus on punishing laziness deal with the situation where there aren't enough jobs to go around, i.e. where unemployment isn't caused by laziness? In your system, how does the worker create jobs?…
