@daviditapper I don’t think theoretical reason can provide such desire. It lacks motivational power.

whatever is the motivation that drives the development of human capacities, I don’t know, however, the vehicle which that development happens through is instrumental reason.

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartPhilo199]

This is the result of practical reason btw

[BSF 🇬🇧🐀 @BSF42069]

We’ve come a long way

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartPhilo199]

@daviditapper The question is basically which form of reason is responsible for the progression and refinement of human capabilities over time?

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartPhilo199]

@daviditapper No practical reason

Children of illegal immigrants? You mean Americans, you sick freak. These people are born and raised in America.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.

How America wins matters. As global hegemon, America could dominate its neighbors and coerce its allies. Or it can promote cooperation through international institutions and alliances. I would rather see an America that’s respected by its allies.

[Mikita 👨‍💻 @mikitaposts]

My ideology is that I want America to win. I don’t care who the president is. I don’t care if it’s a Republican or Democrat. I want America to win.

@Luan75937152 @TrueSlazac @capt_calhoun The point is self-determination. The people of China couldn’t elect another government. They are stuck with the CCP. So, popularity can’t be the basis of legitimacy.

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartPhilo199]

Liberal democracy is required for legitimacy because it doesn’t institute an ideology. Doing so would severely limit self-determination. A liberal democracy can be nationalist or could be socialist. However, it doesn’t impose a set ideology which can’t be deterred from.

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

@capt_calhoun Liberal democracy is a requirement for the state to be legitimate, if the leader is not picked by the people you can’t have “self determination”

Animation quality isn’t dependent on money.

It depends on the skill of the animator and the time given to them. You can throw money at a project but if you don’t give your animators time they can’t produce quality animation.Unless your 1950s America, they were built different.

[That COMICBOOK Guy @Culture3ase]

Fans are confused on why ‘INVINCIBLE’ has worse animation than ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ with 10x the animation budget.

$150K animation vs. $2.5 Million animation

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartPhilo199]

Capitalism is certainly a part, but isn’t globalization the main driver of international trade?

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

One of the most beautiful aspects of capitalism

What does liberal mean to you?
