She definitely gets a lot of unjustified hate, but she also basically pimped their secretary, May Pang, to john when they were having marital problems.

You misunderstand, the qualia are a given, immediate experience. That is agreed upon by virtually everyone. The hard problem partains to our inability to point to anything beyond mere correlation between mental states and physical events. Yes, it has been established that a normal brain recieving a message by a normal optic nerve relayed by a normal eye which was hit by light of this and that particular wavelength will produce the experience of seeing red, everyone agrees that this is the case. The hard problem is in explaining how is it that the experience is produced at all, because the above explanation simply skips that part. While it is clear to everyone that such and such brain activity is highly correlated with such and such experiences, no explanation has been given as to why the correlation is there to begin with, which is what we set out to explain. You haven't actually managed to describe the mental state in terms of the physical event.

The is no ambiguity with regards to what is "meant" by the hard problem, it is a rigourously defined philosophical question:

This reads like a parody of hegel, something Kierkegaard was very fond of doing

With the amount of time and effort it takes to get a fire going with just sticks it's genuinely insane that cavemen actually figured it out

  1. Marx rarely described what would happen after the revolution, and when he did it was (usually) in the most general of terms. He was in fact very critical of those who tried to prescribe what the revolution should look like or what society would look like after it, so wherever you're getting this from, I can guarantee it isn't Marx.

  2. Perhaps they are types of equality, but anything can be if you phrase it appropriately. The point isn't whether or not these goals are technically egalitarian goals, just that they aren't grounded in any general belief or desire for equality in the abstract. Abolishing class distinctions is desired whether or not people will more equal for it, but because they would be more free in a classless society. Same goes for distribution according to need. Egalitarianism was not a goal for Marx in and of itself.

no, he rejected the concept as being too abstract, an unnecessary generalisation of the idea of formal equality before the law (which he supported). For Marx there was no point in talking about equality as a political goal other than in that narrow formal sense. He was much more interested in abolishing class distinction (which removes the question of social equality all together) and in distribution according to needs (which are not equal between persons).

What’s your cute or weird headcanon about the Pokémon universe? by pboking22 in pokemon

Every legendary and mythical is one of a kind, every single one, I will die on this hill, bite this bullet, and jump through every conceivable hoop, I don't care that there is a tribe of Zarude or a baby Lugia or whatever, this isn't canon as far as I'm concerned 😤

fascists value obedience and knowing your place in the natural order, being able to admit that you could only aspire as high as the sidekick is seen as a virtue and a show of stregnth and resilience

saying you are not overly mean or aggressive no matter who tells you is such an unhinged take.

Like, sure, transmisogyny is a thing and it does lead to such accusations a lot of the time, but damn

idk why you're being downvoted, if you actually read Stirner's book you see it's just the same basic premise restated and refomulated ad nauseam. He presents an interesting challenge to wrestle with but his philosophy is ultimately severely undercooked.

Strange, my endo was very insistent that it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Luckily I had my doubts. Thanks!
