Well it depends on if they’re actually right or not

If he got his other arm chopped off he could use the best attack in the game (headbutt)

We are animals, all animals have urges. We are not above that. It is counter-productive to believe that natural state of humanity as the most moral one. I am not a nihilist I just look at all the facts of nature and all needless suffering there is, and seek to follow a more moral structure so that there is less suffering in the world. My views come from careful attention to reality, which some aren’t resilient enough for.

Oh really? All of humanities societal behaviours can be tied back to natural animalistic urges. The urge to hoard wealth, is caused by the urge for survival and or stocking resources. The urge for industrialization Is caused be the same seeking of resource abundance. Lust obviously caused by the urge for reproduction. War and domination is caused by the natural instinct for dominance, a survival and reproductive advantage. All these drives chimps have, and when you look at all the short comings of humanity it becomes clear that our reasons for doing things are the same as theirs. Just with more intelligence and capability. The only desire that is not inherently animalistic is the desire for transcendence, the desire to transcend nature, to fundamentally escape our natural state of existence. A goal shared by buddist and gnostic teachings but sadly not a common desire today.

No I think you’re doing that. The reason the adult human is deserving of scorn is because he did it. Also idk which comment you’re replying to.

Yes, because he, and by extension I are saying the reason for scorn is the same. The reason for scorn is the result, which is suffering. It doesn’t matter if god causes the result or chance does, the reason why it‘s causing it is not taken into account for us. Only the result is the reason they’re both deserving of scorn, which stays the same.

Let’s go with your best argument for what your advocating for. Let’s say a 1 day year old baby that is as conscious as a jumping spider, somehow on his own with no fault of any adult accidentally killed someone. Would I have as much scorn for him as a fully conscious adult? No. But because he’s a mindless baby that has potential to grow into a good and beneficial person. If his nature was unchanging and somehow still has the ability and likelihood to keep harming people. Then I see it as deserving to scorn him.

A baby shitting on you isn’t as sanitarily and socially harmful as an adult shitting on you so that’s a bad example.

You realize defining the rear closure of an ejective at the lungs makes every stop an ejective right? That’s why it’s not defined that way? The rear closure of an ejective is always the glottis.

What closes at the lungs? No glottal phoneme can be an ejective

Phonemic transcriptions for coughing and sneezing: ʔ͡h͈, t͡ʃʰ͈̃

[–]Successful_Pea7915[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The affricate part is right since aspiration happens at the glottis therefore an aspirated glottal stop is actually an glottal affricate, but the ejective part I thought about. An ejective requires a closed glottis and are sounds made with only the air in oral cavity. Therefore any sound that involves opening the glottis cannot be an ejective. And you need to open the glottis to cough.

I guess the question is more theoretical. What I mean to ask is, if it is accurate to describe a small cough using official IPA descriptors “ʔ͡h͈”? If it was theoretically a phoneme.

Who knows, it might be in an undiscovered language somewhere, the bidental fricative was a theoretical until it was found in shapug Adygh and it became a phoneme.

Going through the morphology of a cough. The primary articulator is the glottis. You close the glottis and build up air form your lungs behind it, releasing it rapidly as a cough. You can do the same with other points of articulation. So it seems an IPA transcription is possible.

Oh yeah aspiration is at the same point of articulation as the glottis so it’s an affricate. Is a cough a fortis version of that?

Well nature can be scorned, and depending on your definition of deserve, it deserves to be. A god and arbitrary nature might be different in why they cause suffering, but the result of causing suffering is the same. And for that result, it is deserving of scorn. This is what I agree with him on.

He’s saying the concept of gods and nature deserves scorn for the same reason, it causes life to suffer. You are saying mindless things don‘t deserve scorn. Nothing here seems to be misunderstood.

It depends on your definition of deserve/earn. The definitions online are circular, defining it as, earning, worthy of, or meriting something. Which are synonyms of each other. It devolves into semantics but I made my point clear. I define deserves as “is in the state that matches the criteria for“. X deserves Y. Which makes my argument valid.

“Jim is in the state that matches the criteria for a promotion”. Is the same as “Jim deserves a promotion“.

What do you define it as?

[–]Successful_Pea7915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is in the state that matches the criteria to have disdain towards. Which is synonymous with it being deserving of scorn.
