@Maw like everyone

2020-12-13 22:44:51 UTC  

Everyone is conservative.

2020-12-13 22:45:10 UTC  

Everyone is conservative relative to something @Maw

2020-12-13 22:45:26 UTC  

That feel when you continue to make words mean less.

2020-12-13 22:45:47 UTC  

No the further back in time you go the more conservative views become

2020-12-13 22:45:57 UTC  

Today’s liberal is tomorrows conservative

2020-12-13 22:46:05 UTC  

This is how It’s always been

2020-12-13 22:46:13 UTC  

Ok. I need to see some evidence here. The argument isn't supporting the premise nor conclusion.

2020-12-13 22:46:19 UTC  

Yes, I am aware of the overton window shift.

2020-12-13 22:47:02 UTC  

So yeah Obama today or 20 years from know would be conservative

2020-12-13 22:47:07 UTC  

You do realize that all progress is not always positive, right? We're talking about methods of progress.

2020-12-13 22:47:17 UTC  

Methods of progress are not always positive.

2020-12-13 22:47:23 UTC  

Stagnation is always negative

2020-12-13 22:47:41 UTC  

Take a chance on progress and correct as you go

2020-12-13 22:47:51 UTC  

A Slippery Slope argument is usually achieved by Emotional responses prior to any meaningful thought or reflection?

2020-12-13 22:47:54 UTC  

Pretty reckless.

2020-12-13 22:48:02 UTC  

The job of the conservative is to be a little bit of a stick in the mud

2020-12-13 22:48:11 UTC  

That is their utility

2020-12-13 22:48:21 UTC  

Like China testing gene manipulation on real live humans?

2020-12-13 22:48:26 UTC  

This is how things operate

2020-12-13 22:49:24 UTC  

"We just cut people open while they were alive for progress, it's a good thing." You realize methods of progress can be inherently bad, yes?

2020-12-13 22:49:30 UTC  

@Cali La La China had no moral ethics and poorer safety standards. They crispr cas 9 a pair of twins to be hiv resistant

2020-12-13 22:49:38 UTC  

Then we never heard from the doctor again

2020-12-13 22:49:58 UTC  

@Maw we have ethical standards

2020-12-13 22:50:05 UTC  

We can’t do a lot of things

2020-12-13 22:50:05 UTC  

I think they're more talking about Unit 731.

2020-12-13 22:50:10 UTC  

I know

2020-12-13 22:50:18 UTC  

America then paid for the research

2020-12-13 22:50:22 UTC  

Yep.

2020-12-13 22:50:29 UTC  

Well, yes and no.

2020-12-13 22:50:40 UTC  

They basically gave people immunity for having the research.

2020-12-13 22:50:48 UTC  

But modern medical ethics no longer allow for such a thing, hence progress

2020-12-13 22:51:07 UTC  

That is inherently conservative, morals and ethical restrictions.

2020-12-13 22:51:10 UTC  

We develop better ways to do research

2020-12-13 22:51:27 UTC  

No that’s just a being humane issue

2020-12-13 22:51:49 UTC  

Being humane is a liberal virtue

2020-12-13 22:52:00 UTC  

The way you're defining conservativism being resistance to progress, yes, it means that limits imposed by morality and ethics is inherently conservative by your logic.

2020-12-13 22:52:02 UTC  

Naw.

2020-12-13 22:52:30 UTC  

You made the point that conservatives are ohms, and progress is electricity.

2020-12-13 22:52:35 UTC  

Don't change your definitions now.
