Some people invent the opposing argument or don't bother at all because it upsets people.
I learned the term from Eric Weinstein.
@Maw Yes. I think the silent majority in the US are the moderates who want to hear the true story rather than the obviously biased opinions of the media on both sides.
Steel man is a lot harder than straw man. You have to know for sure you're right, if you have a set conclusion.
Ahh thats some darkweb stuff there
people should get upset time to time its good for you
I learned steel man in college but they didn't call it that at that time.
I have been corporate censored by face book and Twitter. And so i looked for alternative. It is great to be able to interact with someone knowledgeable on a subject
Yea I figure if I split the middle and both sides are angry then that's more stuff to talk about in the chat!
I like to think of it as bipartisanship and fair ideological representation.
Mission accomplished on that tonight Rob. Lmao
I have a position that all forms of Marxism are anathema to Lockean Principle. I make value judgments on the political and economic from there.
this would be a great time to start a company like FB
For sure, fortunately during Q&A people weren't throwing around obscene language and insults everywhere as much as I thought they would.
During the actual presentation it was a bit different.
I don't even look at the chat until the end so I miss all of that.
In which Locke does that principle appear? I have a pile of Locke which I've completely forgotten about with time.
Tonight was a bit critical of Trump's team so I had a feeling.
Yeah, it's understandable.
And personally I'm glad you were.
i guess most here are fam/work people
Critical is good if i can learn from it !
@Whithers I scrolled up and caught it. Did you have a link?
I looked up the statutory definition of voter in my state. It said a voter is a legal voter. Shouldn't the language be a bit better than using the term being defined in the definition?
so do you start the chat with an outline of where you want to go with it or are freestyle n it
RSMo 1.035. Voter defined. — Whenever the word "voter" is used in the laws of this state it shall mean registered voter, or legal voter.
https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=1.035&bid=47&hl=voter%u2044
Legal voter is an umbrella term. It's generally a permanent resident of the US that is over the age of 18 and has no prior felony conviction.
It is good to hear what the other side's argument actually is! without the Slanderous, Virtuous and accusatory statements.
Yea @Whithers looking here in Arizona we have a qualified electors statute: https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/16/00121.htm
Yeah, not real hip on the no felony convictions to vote. I think that protects judges way too much.
@osok the live chat is for the end of the show, I just take questions that I can catch as they scroll by. No rhyme or reason.
"Legal voter" is also different based on if the election is federal or state, IIRC. Robert likely knows more about this.
I think whithers that legal is pretty clear. Is it clear constitutionally since our laws our derived from that. Going to have to read the federalist papers more indepth
Yeah, now see much better description in Az statute.
yet much different state to state...
Interesting. How so?
AZ statute is great read
https://law.justia.com/codes/arizona/2011/title16/section16-165/ Is the exceptions for legal voters that the statuette doesn't describe there in-depth if you wanted it. @Whithers
I read a lot of the RSMo when I was an alderman here in my little pretentious village/4th class city. Some of what was written in it then couldn't be diagrammed as a sentence if one had Churchill and Einstein working together to figure it out.
