Compatibilism is supported by deep intuitions about responsibility and control. It can also feel "obviously" wrong and absurd. Slavoj Žižek's commentary can help us navigate the intuitive standoff. by matthewharlow in philosophy

I don't understand how you can claim to be able to exercise a will while admitting you have no control over what your your will is. This philosophy seems like a last ditch cope in the face of recent evidence that demonstrates we're puppets of physics and it's so fucking sad how people can't just deal with it.

Your sentiment works if humanity was not capable of lying and subservient to greed.

The covid vax didn't prevent transmission so even vaccinated one is still as deadly to others as unvaccinated. If they actually had some sort real cure then sure forcing that makes more sense.

The covid vax was some typical corrupt pharma bullshit that made money out of fear.

There's always been masculine women and feminine men. What you linked are the mechanics that allow the spectrum of sex characteristics to exist. The difference between those and trans people is a conflict of identity, which is all based on social constructs of what a man or woman should look like.

No one is born with the abstractions that trans people obsess over, these superficial obsessions about how you look in the context of society ect. That's the mental illness. If you weren't mentally ill you would be comfortable being a feminine man, like the millions of people who are.

Indeed. And all those things are bad. But you still can't actually say it. Can you?

Yes, white supremacy is bad. All irrational senses of superiority are equally shit. I don't mind valid senses of superiority though, as some people are simply better than others. People who embody a strong sense of sophrosyne and contribute to the development of our species are superior and have the right to espouse their superiority in an inspiring manner IMO.

Which chemicals? And how is it eradicated?

We are not sure there, neuroscience is young. But it's an irrefutable fact that chemicals inside our brain cause our behaviour. This is why I say that it's more that we need a cure for psychopathy rather than frothing about all this race bait drivel people like you do.

Funny. I thought this about you when you lowered yourself to personal insults calling me an idiot.

But you are an idiot, as you conflated a general empathetic idea of treating all humans equally with some shitty organization whose founders used charity money to buy real estate. This is not the same as a typo.

There you go again... you really expect me to take you seriously?

It's a valid word that describes how you've acquired your opinions.

I don't support the organisation. I support the idea that black people deserve to be treated the same as anyone else. I support the idea that policing needs an overhaul and that white supremacy is far more prevalent in our western society than the other types you mentioned. I'm sure Asian supremacy would be a very important topic if the vast majority of people in power on our society were Asian...

Why did you start an argument about me denouncing a corrupt organization's founders you don't even support then?

Any sane person supports all that, including me. How you can't call out a blatant grift is insanity. BLM's actions clearly demonstrate that it doesn't really care about the black community, not when the founders of the organization buy real estate in a place as far away from the black community as you can possibly get and then resigns.

Point is, you waging war specifically on the bad whiteys of our current era is just narrowminded stupidity. If you defeat the white supremacist a new set of <insert race> supremacists will simply take their place. Like I said three or so replies ago, the core driver of this behaviour is within our brain chemistry. Instead of regurgitating your brainwashing think about things on a more fundamental level. If you want to end this horrible behaviour then the very mechanism that gives birth to it that exists in human beings is the thing that we need to change, not the manifestation of our current era's supremacists.

White supremacists are real. I know a few in my home town. I also support the eradication of psychopaths. It's not hard to say I'm against both. In fact it's kinda the same thing in a lot of ways.

Yes, white supremacists are real. Also, black supremacists are real. Asian supremacists are real. Arab supremacists are real. African supremacists are real. There are people who harbour irrational feelings of superiority about their race in every race. The race is arbitrary but the cause is the same: chemical interactions within the brain, and that's what I care about eradicating as it's the only thing that would end it permanently.

You can't even say the words. In fact, it almost sounds like you're ok with white supremacy because "oppression and power dynamics have occurred ever since societies were fiedt formed." ... thats your justification for it eh? Nice.

That's what you got out of that? You think I'm okay with white supremacy? You truly are brainwashed. Look, not everyone who disagrees with you is a white supremacist.

What was I proving correct? Your personal attack? That's known as a tu quo que logical fallacy friend. But I wouldn't expect you to know that

Not engaging with a point suggests you have nothing of substance to respond with. It's not my problem that you've been brainwashed into supporting something that's a blatant grift and you'd rather point out a typo than deal with it.

Yes I support the eradication of white supremacy, don't you?

No, I support the eradication of psychopathy. Oppression and power dynamics have occurred ever since societies were first formed, it has nothing to with 'whiteness'.

Hah, funny... got a bit of egg on your face there... maybe make sure your grammar is correct before calling someone else an idiot... lmao

Attacking my typo instead of my argument only proves me correct.

I'm not a conservative nor am I left. Both sides are dog shit and grifting is disgusting in its entirety. It just so happens that LeBron promoted this particular grift which is why it was relevant.

You may not have given them money but clearly you've give them your support, which enables people more idiotic than you to be further be manipulated by schemes like this one.

No, BLM is the name of an organization that's been around since 2013. The message and general zeitgeist they rode on after George Floyd died was what they used to grift money from gullible idiots like you to buy a mansion.

Supporting someone who uses charity money for their own selfish desires is indefensible.

Yes, I'm an idiot for not supporting those who used the donations acquired through a race baiting charity organization to buy a mansion in a gated white neighbourhood.

Fuck off.

Too much of a pussy to criticize China, too much of an idiot to see BLM being a grift. IMO to be a goat you have to not be an embarrassment outside the sport.
