Throwaway account for @DOCPATRONE’s ethics class. (she/her) 🌿

Although I agree wholeheartedly with Plato’s accounts that men and women are equal in their capacity for virtue, he still finishes the passage claiming women are weaker than men. Disheartening! #ewp22

@rf_nate They are allowed sexual interaction, but not any kind of marriage or connections to family. I certainly wouldn’t be able to do it, myself!

From personal experience, anarchism is an interesting philosophy that usually promotes humanism, likely due to the individualist aspect. Many anarchist bookstores I’ve been to are very far left and willing to share their ideology openly! #ewp22

@tay_219_ I feel like this is often the case for sanitation work. We are usually told not to pursue these kinds of jobs as children, but they make up the backbone of our modern society.

The example of Leontius’ actions at the gate are extremely disturbing, but a good example of the exploration of intrusive thought. It is looked down upon to indulge in these actions, but it is an open secret that we all privately engage with these thoughts in our own minds.#ewp22

The implications of the panopticon raise a lot of questions about who has the control in the center, and why. Would this system of retributive justice, structured in such an efficient way be effective if implemented strictly across prisons and other institutions? #ewp22

@CORSP608 Extremely true. Oftentimes the rewards we obtain from our actions can be solely emotional and not at all financial, but we can benefit all the same.

Although psychological egoism has mass appeal, especially in contemporary American culture, it can be seen as a moral obstacle to overcome in order to do the right thing for others, as well as yourself. Mutual selflessness should not be understated. #ewp22

Critical race theory can be considered the backbone to many areas of study at a liberal arts college. If we can’t engage with these ideas in grade school, or especially college, we will be blindsided moving forward as a country. #ewp22

To me, it’s not disheartening that we came to a collective realization no one in the room could be President. I think many of us came to terms with this long ago, subconsciously. I wish I could remember if this realization was more shocking to me when I was young. #ewp22

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

@rf_nate Perhaps not illegal, but if a student were to report it, it could warrant a possible investigation into their motives. #ewp22

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

@CarsonJensen26 Completely agree. Humans are social by nature, maybe Nietzsche saw companionship as a sign of weakness. I certainly couldn’t live without it, if I’m a moralist so be it!

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

Hearing Nietzsche’s life story offered a lot of clarity in regards to his philosophy of life. It’s extremely unfortunate that he is often mislabeled as a Nazi sympathizer and is only recently getting that recognition. #ewp22

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

I certainly don’t disagree with Nietzsche that it is undesirable to be an apathetic, self-absorbed member of society with little respect to morality or the creative process. Sadly, the examples used in class used to combat this were all exclusively western-world examples. #ewp22

Haidt’s vignettes seem easy to answer at face value— it’s much more difficult to articulate, at least for me, the exact reasoning behind my reactions to each vignette. I’m sure psychologically, they’re designed this way on purpose. I’d love to know why! #ewp22

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

@CarsonJensen26 Completely agree— They are easily accessible, but really hard to process. It almost feels frustrating to *think* about why we feel the way we do. #ewp22

[Kyra Zopff @KZphilosophy]

As a psych major who TA’d for Child Development last semester, it was really interesting to see Kohlberg’s Dilemma implemented in-class. I loved hearing people’s thoughts on why they believed their choice was correct, and how that correlates to the 1-6 scale he created. #ewp22

Whoever was in class Tuesday and kept saying monopolies over life-saving drugs are evil, you’re my hero #ewp22 #js
