If you see Beemann arguing with me, they're wrong.

2018-08-16 19:47:02 UTC  

well its like saying do you want to rape a million babies or a thousand babies, and the anarchist position would be a thousand babies because thats preferable

2018-08-16 19:47:04 UTC  

its stupid

2018-08-16 19:47:20 UTC  

It's a value proposition, would you rather

2018-08-16 19:47:21 UTC  

Hrmm..

2018-08-16 19:47:38 UTC  

I would rather that fewer babies got raped

2018-08-16 19:47:44 UTC  
2018-08-16 19:47:47 UTC  

I don't think that's a hard sell

2018-08-16 19:47:47 UTC  

Well, which babies

2018-08-16 19:47:57 UTC  

They could be very foul-tempered babies

2018-08-16 19:48:02 UTC  

I don't care about the identity of the babies

2018-08-16 19:48:10 UTC  

I'm not talking identity I'm talking attitude.

2018-08-16 19:48:11 UTC  

Geez.

2018-08-16 19:48:13 UTC  

That's for the alt right and post modernists to agonize over

2018-08-16 19:48:23 UTC  

Baby attitude goes in the same bucket

2018-08-16 19:48:29 UTC  

but i dont even think the questions are usually framed that way "would you rather" or "which option is less evil"

2018-08-16 19:48:40 UTC  

I mean that's a good tempered baby.

2018-08-16 19:48:41 UTC  

Yes, and that's fine

2018-08-16 19:48:44 UTC  

Spare them the rape if possible.

2018-08-16 19:48:58 UTC  

You want the least evil option. That's not a lie

2018-08-16 19:49:24 UTC  

I'm a minarchist though, and thus your most devious nemesis :^)

2018-08-16 19:50:11 UTC  

The ultimatum is rather stupid but

2018-08-16 19:50:26 UTC  

If the consequence was "Either way, you extinguish evil in the universe"

2018-08-16 19:50:34 UTC  

Then it's suddenly a very serious question

2018-08-16 19:50:44 UTC  

trying to find an example of what i mean

2018-08-16 19:50:58 UTC  

Well the original question was national vs global government, neither of which necessarily has to be viewed as evil

2018-08-16 19:52:05 UTC  

If you think worldwide unity is the most important goal, then maybe a global government is your goal as well, and crushing nations is extinguishing evil. I find it baffling, but people do adhere to that thought process

2018-08-16 19:54:55 UTC  

like for example they could ask something about your cultural values and then assume that you want to enforce your cultural opinion through laws

2018-08-16 19:55:09 UTC  

and pin you as this type of authoritarian

2018-08-16 19:55:09 UTC  

Don't answer based on personal values

2018-08-16 19:55:14 UTC  

Just on legal

2018-08-16 19:55:32 UTC  

It's asking about the political, not philosophical

2018-08-16 19:56:29 UTC  

Man I am so glad I changed the quote for my password. Shit was too long

2018-08-16 19:56:57 UTC  

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in.

2018-08-16 19:57:04 UTC  

like "do you think being homosexual is natural" and then assume you want to ban gay marriage or something

2018-08-16 19:57:25 UTC  

Wait, do you think it's unnatural?

2018-08-16 19:57:51 UTC  

i dont really know, lets say i did, that would not mean that i would want to regulate what people do in their bedrooms

2018-08-16 19:58:03 UTC  

No, it doesn't necessarily

2018-08-16 19:58:18 UTC  

I think encouraging gay marriage sorta decreases gay marriage in the future. o:

2018-08-16 19:58:21 UTC  

I don't think that homosexuality contributes to the human race, no.
