@Bernie70087102@0xSero Well, my metaphysics is directly responsible for things like human rights.
The fact that fallen human beings use various things to justify bad behavior has no bearing on whether something is true or false. You must recognize that that's a terrible argument. It's extremely weak
@Bernie70087102@0xSero Now you're getting into fundamental metaphysics, and I normally don't mind discussing that, but this is a separate question.
There are no issues maintaining the immutability of ultimate reality while having an ontology of various distinctions within the mutable creative order.
@Bernie70087102@0xSero So, back to the original post. This is why people think that humans are separate from the rest of nature. Also, it's not an arbitrary separation if there is a readily apparent distinction.
@pegobry_en No, if you do this, this is how you get the uni party problems, whether with immigration, with the military blob, etc.
There need to be some ideological purity tests, without spiraling, and this seems like a perfect example.
@Bernie70087102@0xSero Can you hold any non-human morally responsible for their actions?
Since you think this is a false dichotomy, you can start by being a public defender for animals killed by other animals.
@PabloAntonio You should be reading more philosophy. Because the major religions are more sophisticated philosophically than all the AI ethicists put together.
@ThaddeusPapist This is in a letter where he's responding to Catholic criticism of including reincarnation, specifically Elvish reincarnation, in his stories, and he defends it as a suitable worldview to be in that story. In the same letter, he says it is bad theology if applied to humans.
@Afinetheorem All of this is mediated to the people through the media. There might be some far-left activists who oppose this, but if the party of the mainstream media decides on this course of action to stay in power, it works. I think it worked in Denmark as well.
@kalezelden Schopenhauer says that this is because men have many different dimensions and professions they compete on, while all women share a single profession.
@kalezelden If you read the history of the early Jesuits, Ignatius had some experience with teaching women, and he just thought it was too much trouble.
@jonatanpallesen@SebMilbank Please then tell me why we can't do abiogenesis. Why does all life come from life? Until you can do abiogenesis in a very clear way, whatever extrapolations you're doing are unjustified.
@BigDumbUncle@kojimaicmatters@xwanyex Yes, other people have subjectivity, but the counterfactual implied in the birth lottery thought experiment is completely nonsensical. There's no subjectivity that is separate from a person's body and historical contingency.
@rushmoor11@xwanyex Well, this would be interpreted differently whether you're a Christian or a secular materialist, or if you have another philosophical framework. This entirely depends on how you interpret life.
