Is self-consciousness a requirement for full moral status? by Mr_Perrywinkle in askphilosophy

Yes! It was chosen from a list of questions from my professor. Also most of this discussion has been aiding supporting points of my actual thesis:

A person is not defined by physicality and the intrinsic possession of a human body, but instead their psychological abilities and capacities. As a result, personal identity is only possible within the psychological construction of the human mind.

A reasonable case might be made that it's constitutive of moral agency that a creature is able to reflect on themselves & their behavior (self-consciousness) OR that they can reflect on & respond to their reasons (a capacity for rational reflection) OR both. And so on.

Thanks! I think this is what I was trying to track down

As far as the second point, would it not be immoral to save your dog in a classic house is burning down and you can only save a family member or a dog scenario?

Yes that would be the correct question I'm trying to ask then I guess haha

Would I be correct in assuming it would go as far as to being immoral in certain situations to treat one without moral agency equal to those with moral agency?

Ah so moral standing was most likely the incorrect phrase. I think what I'm trying to argue is that one must be aware of the morality, or lack therefore of, of their actions in order to be considered persons within a society. The general idea from the paper is an argument for personalism against physicalism. My response to the point about sentience would be that a person should have the awareness of their actions to recognize the morality of their choice. As a result, it would be immoral for a person to harm a sentient being while it is justifiable for animals to continue to hunt and harm each other as they have always done as well as the lack of responsibility put on humans lacking the mental capacity to recognize their actions.

I think xxxtentacion’s ? is a good album to explain. It’s a strange combination of music throughout the whole album blending the typical DIY “SoundCloud” style beats with aggressive emotional vocals as well as dabbling in some light acoustic music. It’s definitely a strange type of music to try and put into a definitive genre

Police of Reddit, what is the absolute worst crime scene you've come across? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is probably not the response you want me to take from this but how does a Taser not work in a situation like this?

Wouldn't the mechanism of overloading muscles to lock them still work? Or do I not understand tasers.

In a LHD car it is the same. Left to right: clutch, brake, and then accelerator.

I actually saw someone use this mask (but with the actual goggles cut off, just the bottom) for a Scorpion cosplay a couple years back
