The fact that Heath benefits are contested give me pause

Because if there truly may be health benefits I truly see a circumcision argument

However, I’m not convinced of that yet

Would you argue the same for vaccines?

Is immunizing you all STDs not a dire medical need? Similar to a super-vaccine?

No but they cause oain to the child while violating busy autonomy for a medical reason

Or maybe there is no medical reason?

That’s what I’m trying to divine

No health benefits at all?

I’m trying to determine wether it is for no reason or not

Reducing chances of stds

Or other potential health issues

Yeah I guess ur right on this

I was basically already convinced

I was playing devils advocate

Yeah but the harm is exceedingly minimal

I’m open to the argument though

I don’t have to answer that the answer is rather obvious

Ditto

I wanted too

Family in town took my attention

Me too dazzle

But that’s irrelevant

Because it was done to me. And I’m sure I’d say the opposite of they didn’t

I just say that because it is what I’m used to

Hood morning Naz!

Look what I found

Racist and unfalsifiable

If you don’t believe in white privilege that’s because of your White privilege

Basically

What do those body pets do besides pleasure, if anything. I’m not discounting that as important I’m just curious

Fair enough

I already agree with u btw.

Hello there

Is there a difference between battlefield and articles? Besides the “publishing” part?

Ah

So like long form stuff is fine for the battlefield?

Yeah but only a little

The stuff I’ve been working on is just pretty long so I wanted to be sure that’s the proper place for it

Nice

Elaborate

I see no way to create an an on society larger than a few hundred with out authcomm means

Anarchocommunism would basically be a small village where everyone produces something and then shares it with everyone else

This requires a ton of social fabric to work

Never

To scale such a system seems nigh impossible in my estimation

Exactly

So the only way to bring about an ancomm state would be to create a small commune with voluntary participants

Otherwise you have to impose it by authoritarian means

And then U just have auth leftism

It really depends on how you define atheist

I’m big on defininitions. Otherwise u just talk past each other

Yes

Harriss is focused on metaphysics of an actual supreme being

Peterson more defined it as the ultimate ideal you strive to meet. Which can be personified as an agreement with an omniscient being

I don’t think e can actually know> He is a theist
@Deleted User

I think there are a couple assumptions you have to make in life

Like being is better than not being

That’s the big one in my eyes

I don’t know how you reason your way to that. If someone can I’d love to hear it.

Might ask that on the battlefield

I’m sos salty I can’t make it. I’ll prob make aftershow tho

Right now it’s gone off the rails of the OG discussion though

😬

Why?

I am the pretzel

I actually understand him at this point I’ve listened so much

It’s kinda scary

The problem is always that he and the person he talks with aren’t agreeing on definition of God

They aren’t talking abt the same thing at all

Talking past each other often

I think trav is right about Peterson the way he defines atheist

It’s an unfalsifiable claim. It’s BS. And yes, diversity is actually coveted in most areas

No no

I’m saying the way trav is defining atheist, I believe Oeterosn fits the description

I posted a little something today

About 2020 election

I’ll post a bigger something in a couple days

Saw this rolling around twitter. Thoughts?

I don’t like that

That’s scary shit

Because it suggests I have no control

And that “I” may not actually exist

I’m searching for a confounding variables. It’s arrest rates for possession. Not just a rest for possession . Those are different

Not gonna be available for the next few days tho

I agree. Too many possible confounding variables

More evidence for it than free will

That

Also the law of cause and effect

Every decision you make must be an effect of something else. It cannot be spontaneously generated. So it’d be foolhardy to assume that our decisions are anything other than a culmination of variables filtering through our brains

I hate that btw

That exact argument I made sucks

It@logically sound

It just sucks

The working definition I have of free will is that the entity that is my self is able to be a cause without being restrained by effects

Influenced and determined are different

Obviously we’re influenced

But I think you could make a logical argument for completely dominated as well.
