Ah, okay.

2019-02-13 11:50:40 UTC  

If we should abandon emotions due to their irrationality, should we abandon the survival instinct?

2019-02-13 11:50:55 UTC  

I just said we shouldn't get rid of emotions

2019-02-13 11:51:07 UTC  

I just want dem mechanical limbs and a semiconductor-bases NN to talk to

2019-02-13 11:51:12 UTC  

Not much to ask

2019-02-13 11:51:29 UTC  

The point is that we can only argue from a human perspective as ethics are concerned.

2019-02-13 11:51:40 UTC  

the problem with rationality, is that its justified by "how many people agree with me"

in the west, we think hitting a woman FOR NO REASON is unethical, and only irrational woman-haters agree to that

but in the middle east, they think its Irrational to not "discipline" your wife for whatever reason you choose so you can hit her

2019-02-13 11:51:48 UTC  

If we assume that we are machines, in order to argue, we ignore what makes us human.

2019-02-13 11:51:57 UTC  

Survival of cell organisms is irrelevantin the bigger picture

2019-02-13 11:52:00 UTC  

thing is, ethics are based on morals

2019-02-13 11:52:03 UTC  

morals are relative

2019-02-13 11:52:20 UTC  

so it's near impossible to say for sure that your ethics are the same as someone else's

2019-02-13 11:52:29 UTC  

Humans are icky, get rid of them

2019-02-13 11:52:35 UTC  

Morales are completely universal

2019-02-13 11:52:35 UTC  

But either way, asking the question of the survival of humanity in the first place only makes sense from a human perspective.

2019-02-13 11:52:43 UTC  

SJW's consider themselves to be the rational centrists
we consider them irrational
they consider us Nazi's


Rationale is based on who agrees with you,

people who agree with you are rational, people who disagree with you are irrational

2019-02-13 11:52:45 UTC  

My emotions are dissatisfied with humanity, thus begone

2019-02-13 11:52:47 UTC  

and to impose your morality on someone else can be seen as unethical

2019-02-13 11:52:51 UTC  

Otherwise the middle east would be better than a shithole

2019-02-13 11:52:57 UTC  

If we excluded all emotional considerations from our argument, we could not argue about this in the first place. It would not matter what happens to us.

2019-02-13 11:53:07 UTC  

Our rationality only makes sense in the context of our humanity.

2019-02-13 11:53:28 UTC  

```Rationale is based on who agrees with you,
people who agree with you are rational, people who disagree with you are irrational```

2019-02-13 11:53:35 UTC  

^

2019-02-13 11:53:38 UTC  

No.

2019-02-13 11:53:47 UTC  

We can both agree that the Sun is made of cheese.

2019-02-13 11:53:49 UTC  

i thought rational meant to be in ratio with reality

2019-02-13 11:53:50 UTC  

We are both irrational.

2019-02-13 11:54:00 UTC  

Some things are objectively not caring about human feelings, like laws of the universe

2019-02-13 11:54:03 UTC  

thats cuz you don't actually agree on it at that point

2019-02-13 11:54:11 UTC  

it's subjective is what @Dr.Wol is saying

2019-02-13 11:54:12 UTC  

Undead

2019-02-13 11:54:14 UTC  

If you thought it was, and someone said otherwise, you'd think them irrational

2019-02-13 11:54:15 UTC  

You misunderstand

2019-02-13 11:54:22 UTC  

Yes, some things are objective.

2019-02-13 11:54:26 UTC  

but you don't believe it yourself, so you call yourself irrational for thinking it

2019-02-13 11:54:36 UTC  

if you hear something you don't agree with, you will think the person saying it is being irrational @Undead Mockingbird

2019-02-13 11:54:45 UTC  

In so far as they cause no contradictions in the models we are able to construct through our empiricism.

2019-02-13 11:54:46 UTC  

that's just how we work

2019-02-13 11:54:46 UTC  

He is saying that rationality is relative to perspective

2019-02-13 11:54:58 UTC  

Humans evloved emotions to survive within a group. Empathy is a hell of a drug.

2019-02-13 11:55:08 UTC  

it might be relative to our understanding of reality yeah
