I absolutely hate it when people send me a question that doesn't have the question. Now I have to pull it out of them, on their time.
Why should that logic only apply to colleges and not businesses in general?
You should be ashamed for not understanding the difference between intellect and morals.
I agree. Some of the posters say that software would have been better if the people he made uncomfortable weren't made uncomfortable by him and thus continued making software. That is extremely implausible. People who…
I agree to the general idea that the government should try to do as little moral arbitration as possible. The concept of "separation of church and state" would be best modernized and secularized as the "separation of…
The doctrine of disparate impact is plainly immoral and flies in the face of freedom of association. Society should punish companies which display behaviors they do not approve of using the market instead of the…
My thought is that it is because humans are prediction machines, and death is the most unpredictable event possible. Many cultures try to make death predictable by introducing concepts of heaven, which does seem to work…
I agree, but we must remove all government social programs as well to make that dream come true. You can't have one group experimenting at the expense of another.
The direct participants in the justice system are not the whole picture. Society is not just affected by the judgement against the defendant, but by the logical precedent of the judgement. Making fair and consistent…
The non-existence of free will has no direct policy implication. Since people are deterministic, the knowledge of punishments would create different behaviors.
Because over the long run policies adopted by your country should be scoped to help the members of your country. If politicians/corporations can make a decision that harms our young, and then dig us out by saying there…
Even rich societies require some function which controls the population. The more you shield people from natural forces, the more you will stress the system as impact of those forces builds up.
Who are you to determine which ideas carry weight, especially without debate? The moment you use political leverage to win intellectual battles, you are embracing corruption.
It seems like the brunt of your statement is that we should be fighting human nature itself. No wonder the problems seem so unapproachable. If you don't want to discuss reality, that is fine, but you lose the moral and…
Context and motivation. Being able to provide an experience for your descendents motivates you to act. Without that ability, there is no reason to do anything.
Its only luck if you consider every person independent of their ancestors, rather than a product of their ancestors.
Being born in a slum more than likely means that your parents failed the IQ test, which is a strong signal about your IQ.
Those two conclusions don't seem mutually exclusive. The universe created the mind in the most broad sense. The mind is basically designed to learn patterns in the universe. Getting closer to one should get your closer…
