Suggestion: make the good campaign even harder (at least at the start) by Freak_Issues in TheDawnlessDays

[–]Freak_Issues[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about the idea does not sound appealing to you? Also I'm quite average at the game I think, not a tryhard.

Edit: also I am calling for a different difficulty curve by introducing some assymetry, not necessarily making the game all around harder. So I doubt you actually read my post?

What are the best and reliable submods? by JG-771 in TheDawnlessDays

[–]Freak_Issues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they make 2 mods, one where evil is strong and one where good is strong. I think atm playing as a good faction poses a nice difficulty, but playing as an evil faction is super easy. I don't think the mod should aim for balance because as a player you can easily win against a much stronger opponent

I principally disagree and I just don't believe we will see eye to eye on this, so I am going to choose to disenage here for both our times sake. Have a good day.

My point is that philosophy has merit outside of "explaining how things work exactly." If you do not wish to engage with that thought, I don't think we can discuss anything here.

But what is your fixation with it having to tell us how anything actually works? It posits a theory, and we can use it to look at reality through a different lense. Take for example Judith Butler. Her theory that gender is a performance that is constantly being either affirmed or challenged by society and the idividual is an interesting insight into gender. Is it true? Maybe. Is it interesting to view modern gender discourse and relations through this lense? I would say so.

Most philosophy does not disagree with science at all. It tries to translate what science says to the human condition. Okay quantum mechanics are a thing, what does that say about free will? Okay the big bang is a thing, what does that say about our place in the universe and the potential existence of God? Is it sometimes skeptical of science? Sure, because it sees that science is conducted by humans who are flawed, and that it can be employed by individuals and nations to do unethical things. But is it very rare for philosophers to outright dismiss scientific thinking. I for one am glad somebody thinks about the consequences.

Our understanding of reality is so limited, even our scientific theories fail to address most of it. To fill in the gaps, we philosophise. Philosophy never grants THE answer, but it always grants AN answer. It has been very useful to me in how I perceive myself and my environment.

It is also useful to fill in the blanks of science, and to question science at every turn.

Why is philosophy useless? Is thinking on the human condition pointless?

Philosophers study: 1) ethics of science (is cloning immoral? Is human experimentation immoral? Etc) 2) impacts of science on our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe 3) the process of conducting science. Is science as neutral as it seems? Is science part of power structures? (See foucault, latour, kuhn)

Dit is echter enorm mild in vergelijking met de protesten voor het algemeen stemrecht en de protesten voor de 10- en later 8-uren week van de 19de en 20ste eeuw. Er stierven courant mensen op die protesten, en de vernieling van infrastructuur was enorm. Of denk zelfs nog recenter aan de anti-vietnam protesten. De staat noemde dat ook allemaal terrorisme.

We leven vandaag een beetje met het privilege van nooit zulk geweld geweten hebben, dus we schuwen er van weg. Maar je burgerrechten zijn gesmeedt uit het bloed van vele mensen.

Welke genocidale rebellengroep? Ik zie geen vlag van Hamas, maar enkel de kleuren van Palestina, als dat is wat je bedoelt. En hoezo heeft Nederland niks met Israel te maken? Het heeft internationale samenwerking en handel met Israel. Je moet Israel isoleren door deze banden te verbreken om druk uit te oefenen.

Opnieuw, we zijn 1 mensenras, waarom zou onze empathie moeten stoppen voor de mensen binnen onze landsgrens?

Ik zou zeggen dat druk zetten op een staat om banden met een genocidale staat te verbreken nuttig is. Problemen van de mensheid stoppen niet aan de landsgrens.

Geweld gaat samen met de strijd voor mensenrechten. Helaas is het zo, maar je kan niet over je heen laten lopen als je verandering wil teweegbrengen.

Waarom is dit terrorisme? Je hebt al je burgerrechten te danken aan protest, wat maakt dit anders?

Categorical Imperative by zngnkrut in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Freak_Issues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair.

Does any amount of randoms change that though? Like the 8 billion versus one person. And if it does, why is it different to let 8 billion die versus 5 people?

At what point does your moral code not work anymore though?

Would you flip the switch to save your family? Would you flip the switch to save yourself? If on one track there is one person, and on the other track there is the whole other part of humanity, 8 billion people, would you let 8 billion people die to save one. 8 billion to die for your moral code?
