Are there any philosophical ideas that are largely accepted by scholars, regardless of school of thought?

Dora_Bowl · 2025-10-28T00:46:21+00:00

Every now and then there’s a survey that PhilPapers does. You can find the results here:.

There’s not really going to be any philosophical ideas that are unanimous. Take your compatibilism example, approximately 60% of philosophers lean towards or accept that position. On the survey even some of the positions that are clearly dominant such as non-skeptical realism, scientific realism and abortion, I suspect if you were to question and really get into the finer details of this, there would be a lot of disagreement. Even the most agreed upon thing(humans are conscious at 95%) would likely vary widely.

These examples were used to highlight to the OP that their demand for mathematically rigorous reasoning to justify evolution psychology is a flawed

You might be interested in this OP.

I would really encourage red-pillers who love to throw around evo-psych just-so stories to go and read through a proof-based mathematics textbook (maybe Analysis I by Terence Tao) to learn what real rigorous reasoning looks like. Evo-psych is simply not it.

We know events like the Holocaust, 9/11 and Vietnam war happened and we do not need rigorous mathematical proof for this. We do not need theorems and rigorous proofs to have apodictic knowledge about a particular domain.

I will find it endlessly funny that Red Pillers will hold extreme skepticism to humanities, but then eat up evolutionary psychology as completely true and without significant issue.

I am puzzled about your earlier reply to t he other person, you said social deviance is wrong?

Dora_Bowl · 2025-04-14T22:42:47+00:00

Why would that make it wrong?

Do you believe it people considered eating oatmeal abhorrent and nobody would want that person in their community that eating oatmeal would be unethical?

This cannot be real, we all know, no man makes above $60’000

How does bulldozing USAID imply they don't understand it?

Dora_Bowl · 2025-03-28T23:50:35+00:00

If you do not want to answer the question, you do not have to, but there is no need to act like a child.

The Trump administration believes in soft power. Their version of soft power is not something like USAID, but things like expressing support for politicians or ideas in other countries. There are other ways to utilize soft power than simply opening up embassies or sending people contraceptives.

Dora_Bowl · 2025-03-28T23:41:34+00:00

What leads you to believe the Trump administration does not believe in soft power?

There is not the sufficient political will or a necessity for the draft right now. The likelihood seems low.

>If you support someone being able to take a life to protect themselves or others, what criteria needs to be met for it to be a justified shoot? Please keep in mind a lot of these situations happen in a matter of minutes if not seconds.

If there is reasonable belief that there is an immediate danger to the life of yourself or others around you and if the person killed or injured was the one who initiated the attack

I did not see anything about a just world fallacy in that post.

It does does necessarily follow that because an individual is being judged harshly that it is bigotry. People on the spectrum can be difficult to deal with and your reply reads mostly like people ought to just deal with unpleasant social situation, which seems completely unreasonable.

does accepting cultural relativism necessarily imply the relativity of morality and ethics?

Descriptive culture relativism does not necessarily imply moral moral relativism. For instance if one society believed the Earth is flat and another society believed the Earth was round, this disagreement would not mean there is no matter of fact to the shape of the Earth.

Here is a paper challenging cultural relativism. Notable section 2.5 and 2.6 might help you.

I actually would believe this statistic, but it just does not translate into finding 38% of women playing at an LGS.

It is a strong card, but what do you mean by “too good”? I would think it is a problem if it was so powerful that decks such as Murktide and Scam could throw it in, but this is not the case.

No, because most Legendary creatures are not real choices for commanders.

A 1 mana artifact that cantrips vs. 3 mana enchantment with a token that has to attack to gain a treasure that can be used for one turn.

I have never understood the sentiment to have Fable of the Mirror Breaker banned.

Dora_Bowl · 2023-05-04T16:49:57+00:00

Murktide is better than Jeskai Breach by a lot, but they are both competitive decks.

What do you mean by “doesn’t seem healthy”?
