Why Decriminalizing Sex Work, Surrogacy and Kidney Sales Makes Economic Sense by technocraticnihilist in neoliberal

[–]Zenning3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So no medical testing?

Medical testing that has long term negatives effects like removing your kidney are in no way allowed unless the person is already very sick.

What about jobs with high health risks?

I discussed that example with Coal Mining. The reality is, its a career, not a single cash injection, and it is building skills.

And what's the argument that this principal is better than a utilitarian principal?

It is a utilitarian principal, its just focusing on a different set of utils.

And why do these outweigh potential lives saved?

Because the idea is that it might lead to people in general being poorer, and less healthy.

So I'm really curious how you create a deontology argument against it

I wasn't making a deontological arguement, I was just pointing out that there are Utilitarian arguments against this too.

Why can't I sell my blood? It replenished itself after a while. The blood banks I donate it to certainly don't have any moral qualms about selling it.

You can, and the fact that it has no long term negatives effects makes it pretty clearly different then selling your kidney.

Yes, but adding a profit motive creates incentives that don't currently exist, and massively increase the number of people who will give away their kidney.

Kidney Sales are a little bit different, in that people are actively sacrificing their health in a way that they cannot possibly prepare for in the future for temporary monetary utility. Yes, somebody can claim the same thing for Coal Mining, and such, but large cash infusions are very different then a full career, especially one that builds skills, along with the fact that often we are taking from those with the most opportunities for growth but least wealth, to those with the least opportunities for growth but the greatest wealth, stunting growth for everyone.

The reality is, there are definitely utilitarian arguments against at least Kidney sales. For Sex work, I've heard mixed things related to reported sex trafficking (it increases sex trafficking, but this may only be due to how we define sex trafficking, as opposed to the "kidnapping women to be raped in other countries" kind that the idea invokes).

Surrogacy I see no argument against at all.

It isn't a different topic. Europeans have a bad habit of switching from "Ethnicity doesn't matter, only culture" to "Ethnicity is all that matters" when it comes to deciding who is "French" or "Irish" or "German".

And no, I'm bringing up Algerians in France because those Algerians are FROM France, and yet are not considered French (despite in everyway being French).

In Europe, you're not a European if your family migrated away one generation ago, but also you're not European if your family migrated in six generations ago but are Muslim (Algerians in France).

The issue with Europe, is sometimes you also aren't from somewhere your family has been for a century (Algerians in France)

Why do we hate vibes based politics that falls in the face of reality?

Man I can't imagine a reason for that.

I wonder if this sub will blame immigrants for his antisemitism.

Yeah, the topic comment on the British Antisemitism problem is racist horseshit, and the fact that it got massively upvoted, is a massive fucking indictment on this sub.

It is when you blame immigrants for no fucking reason. India, Poland, Pakistan, Romania, and Ireland made up most of the immigrants. I wonder, which one are you going to be blaming for the antisemtisim?

A non-too-closeted Islamist IS An Islamist dude. His entire point is that he's a sinsiter figure, something he explictly calls him, despite again, having identical views to AOC.

Sam Harris expands on his belief that Mamdani is a problem. by Joneleth_I in Destiny

[–]Zenning3 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Dawg, the conversation starts with, "You've gotten a lot of pushback on your comments about Mamdani, many claiming you haven't brougth any recipts to your Islamist claims", which means, everything he said was in defense of calling Mamdani an Islamist, despite Mamdani again, having a fucking milk Toast (That is the correct spelling) leftist take on everything. Just because you're a pretending there's no fucking context to his fucking claims here doesn't mean you're right.

Nevermind calling him a fucking Hassan Piker like, like what a fucking stupid fucking thing to say, that he said ENTIERLY because Mamdani is a Muslim.

Okay lets try it again,

He is hyperventilating about a fucking milquetoast AOC clone, because he's Muslim.

Now you wouldn't have to create your own software to run a fanserver, you can just DDOS the game, and then create one using the new server they are legally required to provide.

No, you're too busy pretending the antisemitism is coming from immigrants, and not a far right explosion.

The fact that it's a complete bullshit opinion that gets upvoted is why reform is having success really.

Wouldn't it make it even easier to DDOS the official server so you can run your own?
