I have MS and other health conditions.
If the doctors had been able to tell my parents I had a high likelihood of MS when I was still gestating, should they have killed me?
What other health conditions should gestating humans be killed for potentially having?
@trevormouw@Landon2LBCF@dgh5391@amillaaaa Right - but in order to do that he had to first trust that his senses corresponded to reality. It’s the only possible starting point.
@LutheranVanTil@amillaaaa@Landon2LBCF@dgh5391 The intellect does not first encounter its own presuppositions and then arrive at reality. It first encounters reality and only afterward discovers the presuppositions implicit in its reflection upon reality.
@trevormouw@LutheranVanTil@amillaaaa@Landon2LBCF@dgh5391 Kant makes the foundational error of Aristotle? You guys just completely refuse to familiarize yourself with the most basic work of the people you critique. It’s kind of unbelievable
@trevormouw@dgh5391 I’m very familiar. We would suggest this “distinction” is inadequate if not totally irrelevant. To even propose that as a solution is to passively accept idealism.
The acceptance that anything needs to be embraced as a “precondition to thought” is an idealist framework.
People with Down Syndrome are literally some of the funniest and most cheerful human beings on the planet.
Only a monster would slaughter their own son or daughter because of the diagnosis.
Nobody wants their child to have a difficult condition—but killing them isn't the cure.
