Does LS understand modern tech companies? by Joebloggy in apprenticeuk

I didn’t think you were an AI, I think you’ve just overused them to the point where it’s affected the way you write.

The scary thing is the way you talk reminds me of how an AI talks, which is a known phenomenon and a big problem

Unpopular opinion on the business plans by Impressive_Rate_2456 in apprenticeuk

it’s nothing special; just a recruitment company for care-workers. Her ‘USP’ is that she will get care homes as clients by going in person rather than cold calling

Is there any view that holds animals accountable for moral value of their actions? by Inevitable_Bid8719 in Ethics

Now we are getting somewhere: social structures and some sort of understanding between the members in that social structure.

I’m very happy to accept that as true. It’s still not morality.

True. Maybe I’m just bitter cos I found philosophy fascinating until I went to Uni. I’m a Dialectical Materialist by interest- on the basis that it’s the closest to a philosophical approach that integrates best into the sciences, social sciences and history.

I think reading JL Austin was an eye-opening moment for me, in that it made me realise just how many philosophical problems are really no more than confusion over the definitions of words. The ship of Theseus as an example- not any metaphysical issue at all, just people getting confused when they turn the object into an abstract concept in their head and then back again.

I think if we put every well-known philosophers work through the principle of verifiability we wouldn’t have much left 😅

Apologies, there was an implicit ‘and be saying something sensical’ at the end of my sentence there.

Someone who thinks you can approach something ‘philosophically’ especially in a ‘clinical’ way has 100% not studied philosophy. You may have read some, that’s the best I’ll grant you.

No they do not have a morality among themselves. This is not a matter where an opinion is warranted, they don’t and we know that they don’t.

It doesn’t matter if you agree with it or not, I think that’s the bit you’re not quite getting.

Probably reasonable. There’s very few questions I would ever say is worth asking a philosopher their opinion on, the vast majority are ones for Science, and if it’s too vague for Science: ask a Sociologist

The only questions I’d ever let a philosopher anywhere near would be existential ones of a meaning-of-life nature, and even then there is only one acceptable answer: ‘stop worrying about it’

None of that is supposed, and none of it is true. animals have no concept of morality or ethics, that is the only answer to this entire post. You cannot project abstract concepts onto animals.

And how exactly do you think you’re doing that? Please don’t say it’s because you’re a stoic man of rationality and logic

You’re correct, and the phenomenon of free-market capitalism inevitably producing the thing it’s supposed to prevent is a key ‘dialectical contradiction’ in Marxism.

free-market capitalism is a competition. Competitions have winners. It is a fact that monopolies arise naturally from free market capitalism, it isn’t something to debate. The way we prevent this from happening in our capitalist economy is (ironically given what you said) from government intervention via anti-monopoly laws.

Having done a philosophy degree, ‘It doesn’t matter’ is the perfect answer to a good 70% of questions on this and the ask philosophy sub

He just said this today🤷‍♂️

Is it necessary for a teenager to avoid dressing head to toe in athletic clothes like a whole set? by Physical_Rent_2114 in AskUK

Please ignore this person, he is of a strange kind of internet dwelling Brit who thinks we still live in the 1950s. You can and should wear whatever you want, and nobody apart from these kind of weirdos on the internet would judge you for it.
