@aisiantonas it can mean that, but sometimes it's used to appeal to reality's 'nature', the 'what' that is independent. eg. a toothbrush as a subset of reality isn't a singular, irreducible, non-decomposable existent, but maybe the whole world is.

@meta_nomad makes sense. if something happens, someone gets a refund. but ah! there's no one, so no one got a refund, so something didn't happen.

@kenthecowboy_ how do you exist if you always exist?

@LatFilosof i'm not too familiar with what exactly its proponents claim is the reach of such explanations, but i'd guess that they already don't accept that there's is any kind of sui generis 'moral domain' or information that exists stance-independently that an evo story debunks.

@robsica 'good' reasons or just reasons, i.e. that there are explanations?

@deontologistics is killing myself a wrong answer in your opinion? wrong in the same sense as it'd be incorrect to say 'nothing in any sense exists whatsoever'? further, on your theory, is suicide wrong in that sense in a utopia where most ppl are desperately positive existence addicts?

@Devon_Eriksen_ iq tests aren't supposed to measure your reasoning abilities you acquired in a uni level math course

@Romy_Holland not communism. no one whose knowledge of communist theory is valuably thorough would describe nk as communist. especially libertarians, right and left, should instantly recognize it isn't communism.

@HughAndFree you're not seeing your conceptualization. that way of talking isn't helpful for establishing whether they're perceiving differently. they're just interpreting what they're perceiving differently, but i don't think you see functional relations.

@hanno_sauer agree but maybe he meant murder not kill.
