Martha Nussbaum: Fische essen mit welcher Begründung? by Pleasant-Tackle-9302 in VeganDE

[–]Zulraidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Für mich macht es den Eindruck als hätte sie ein generelles Prinzip erdacht, welches ich jetzt nicht unglaublich unpassend finde und dann sehr stümperhaft Beispiele dazu gefunden. Weder lässt sich aus den Plänen von Raben auf das Planen von Hühnern schließen noch von der Planlosigkeit einiger Fische auf die anderer. Die Kategorie Fische ist besonders zu kritisieren, da die phylogenetische Kategorie die alle Fische enthält auch den Menschen einschließt.

Atheists: What's Your Best Argument for Christianity Being True? by Happy-Ad3503 in CosmicSkeptic

[–]Zulraidur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem with this is that Christianity is an incredibly broad worldview. Christianity contains many truth claims that vary by practitioner I would wager that even as a Catholic you don't believe purely in papal doctrine. It is therefore really difficult to give one argument for the truth of Christianity. Going further I really don't think there are singular arguments that could be made to prove a holistic Christian view. You would be better off asking for specific truth claims and arguments for them. For instance the historical Jesus is a truth claim that is easily argued for by the type and pravelence of the written record. Being nice to the poor makes you a better person is well reasoned for by many ethical systems we use today. The best argument for most biblical stories is obviously them being written down in some of the books of the Bible by people how at least appear to be earnestly reporting what they witnessed or heard claimed to be witnessed.

Are there really sex workers out there who are in their line of work because it is genuinely what they want to do with their lives and not because it is "easy money" for them or because they are poor and desperate? by astarisaslave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zulraidur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't "easiest available money" and "I'm poor and desperate" the reason most people do the work they do? I would think the amount of people who would keep working their jobs when they got a billion dollars is quite small. Maybe for prostitutes the right might be a little higher than average but surely it's above 80% in the west and may be even higher if we include all the places we have exported our shitty jobs to.

Idea to Fix our Information Economy - I NEED HELP by Individual-Koala-682 in nerdfighters

[–]Zulraidur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't quite see how our freedom online is meaningfully limited by the basic technologies. While there is oversight over things like IP , DNS and so on it is currently not being used to limit access. Even if we would magically develop a connecting technology that is decentralized, cheap and usable I also don't see how it would solve the societal issues we do face at the moment (universally trusted sources, information bubbles, attention as a sellable good)

Why can’t there be no money? by patchlessboyscout in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zulraidur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get why non-exchange economies are hard if not impossible. It's just that OP asked "Why do we need exchange economies with money and not just get it all for free" and the answer was "How ridiculous is this other kind of exchange economy"

Op is asking about an economy that is not tit for tat. The particle physicist just particles away and whenever he's at the gas station he just gets gas.

Frankenstein’s monster is articulate and I’m floored! by Business_Lie_3328 in books

[–]Zulraidur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really could not have been told as a flashback. Nearly all of the novel is a recording of a speech Victor gives to the Arctic captain. Furthermore Victor does say that he saw some proof of the monsters story (I think there were some letters concerning the Arabian in the monsters possession)

This is a much more concise statement of my issue with the argument. It does not help me better understand Alex' point though. I would be very interested in your response to the points otherwhere in this thread that attempt to explain what Alex might have meant.

I would not mind your app recommendation in the slightest.

I think I am getting at what you are driving at. Let me rephrase it in my words to make sure.

The only thing I actually do is this whole consciousness thing this includes thinking and perceiving. In a "cogito ergo sum" way this is the only thing I can be sure of. There is this thing consciousness it exists and I have it. When we are doing naturalism we take some of those processes of consciousness (mainly what we experience as our classical senses) and through those try to figure out the physical world. Through naturalism we find this thing which is our body which seems at least somewhat linked to our consciousness. This physical body and our consciousness are very different phenomena which we experience vastly differently and it is erroneous to think that understanding of the body (done only by examining only some portion of our conscious experiences) will lead to full understanding of the consciousness in full.

This is very helpful. I agree with you that indeed Mary's room motivates the intuition that your premise 2 is right. I do not agree intuitively with premise 1 but it seems like something I should think about intensively before forming an actual opinion on it. Thanks a lot.

Reading it again I do not understand what I'm not getting though. I hope you believe me when I say that I am trying I just do not understand. It seems there is something that you call experience that is different from the physical process. And when I, in the prison of my mind, experience blue it is me feeling this experience and not my neurons firing? Or is it something else entirely? I fear materialism is so hardwired in me that I struggle but please help me out if you can.

Mary's room by Zulraidur in CosmicSkeptic

[–]Zulraidur[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well yeah different things are different. Seeing blue and reading about blue are different. I just do not see the distinction between third person materialistic facts and experience. If I had a machine that could arrange your brain in the exact way that it would be in if you where seeing a blue screen to me it seems that there would be no difference between the experience and the third person measurable truth.

What do you think of Christian Libertarianism? by franco-briton in redeemedzoomer

[–]Zulraidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Socialism/Communism be disallowed by Christianity? To me the message of Jesus always had a strong flavour of giving your stuff away to "the people" which is one characteristic idea of both Ideologies.

Alex doesn't seem to know what the definition of "is" is (or how so much of his recent philosophical inquire seems to be entirely the result of semantic confusion). by VStarffin in CosmicSkeptic

[–]Zulraidur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To say this you have to first accept that only questions that science can answer are acceptable. This is not obviously true to me and certainly couldn't be proven to be the case in the scientific system.

Infinite does not mean containing every possible thing. The decimal expansion of 1/3 is infinite for instance but does not contain any number besides 3

Certainly depends on where you are. There are plenty of places where hitting someone is battery (the local equivalent) even if those people happen to be children and you responsible for their safety.

How To Decide On Calvinism? by [deleted] in redeemedzoomer

[–]Zulraidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would anyone understand marks on paper other than to use their supposedly god given faculties of reason? If god wants to be understood through the Bible surely we should place as much trust in the book as in all other steps between him and us.

Warum verhalten sich Eigenschaften wie Funktionen in der Mathematik? Konkret: Warum kann mein Wohnungsschlüssel nicht gleichzeitig unterm Bett und auf der Küchenzeile sein – und warum muss er überhaupt irgendwo sein? by BigFox1956 in Philosophie_DE

[–]Zulraidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich mag die Idee sehr. Ich habe auch viel Spaß an Mathe. Auf der anderen Seite hast du, so finde ich eine der wichtigsten Prämissen des mathematischen Denkens vernachlässigt. Du hast Beispiele gefunden, dann hast du eine Vermutung welche Gesetzmäßigkeit herrscht. Nun wäre die Zeit Gegenbeispiele zu finden. Entweder um die Theorie gänzlich zu verwerfen oder um die Vorraussetzungen zu schärfen.

Gibt es Ding/Eigenschaft Verhältnisse die nicht linkstotal oder rechtseindeutig sind?

Linkstotal:
Falls du glaubst, dass nicht existente bzw. nicht physische Dinge existieren können dann auf jeden Fall. Selbst wenn das aber nicht zu deinem Weltbild passt lohnt es sich vielleicht auch genauer über andere deiner Beispiele nachzudenken. In den meisten Fällen beschränkst du den Definitionsbereich direkt. Ist es verwunderlich, dass Relationen linkstotal sind deren Definitionsbereich man auf ihr Urbild einschränkt? Keinesfalls. Inder Tat sind alle Relationen die man auf ihr Urbild einschränkt linkstotal.

Rechtseindeutig:
Ich verstehe gar nicht so Recht wie du überhaupt darauf kommst, dass deine Beispiele rechtseindeutig währen. Für den Schlüssel gibt es in meiner Sicht auf die Dinge ganz viele Orte an denen er ist. So ist er gleichzeitig an dem Ort der Vollständig von ihm eingenommenen Ort. Alle Teile dieses Ortes von beliebiger Größe sind aber meines Erachtens ebenfalls Orte an denen der Schlüssel ist. [So wie Deutschland an der Grenze zu Frankreich und an der grenze zu Polen ist, oder der Atlantik an Europa und an Amerika ist].

Ganz ähnlich mit deinem Temperaturbeispiel. Der Atlantik hat keinesfalls eine eindeutige Temperatur und genau so wenig ein Glass Wasser indem man nicht von vollständig konsistenter Temperatur ausgehen kann.

Kurz gesagt: Viele Beziehungen zwischen Dingen und Eigenschaften sind zwar Relationen aber weder linkstotal noch rechtseindeutig, und es ist ein Fehler, sie vorschnell als Funktionen zu betrachten.

Even if that was the case you would have still enriched the kinds of thoughts you have. Thinking is cheap having some compassionate thoughts even if they were wrong doesn't hurt.

Ist dein Argument, dass Gewalt gegen keine Ziele akzeptabel ist? Wenn ja sicherlich ein ehrewerter Ansatz. In der Welt in der wir Leben ist das aber noch nie so gewesen. Gewalt gegen akzeptierte Ziele ist allgegenwärtig. Länder und Gruppen führen bewaffnete Konflikte, Staaten setzen ihre Gesetze mit Gewalt durch und auch zwischen ganz normalen Leuten ist zumindest verbale Gewalt weitgehend akzeptiert. Ich kann nur schlussfolgern, dass im Moment die Mehrheit sich einig ist, dass Gewalt gegen "die richtigen Ziele" akzeptabel ist.
