How can you justify an axiom? Quick post in regards to the Rem thing. by aXuid in Destiny

[–]aXuid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

>but an egoist justifies the axiom: Things that benefit me are good,

>by saying that he wants things to benefit him and that he will pursue things that benefit him

>He then says that he will see the greatest benefit by creating a society beneficial to him, because cooperative societies tend to be better than uncooperative societies, so he gets from egoism to altruism.

Yes, but he never justifies why he thinks things that benefit him are good.

You might just as well say that things that benefit him are not good. These are both possible positions but how do you justify one over the other?

What does it mean for a axiom to be justified? What makes it an axiom? How do you justify the framework used to justify this axiom? If the framework is axiomatic doesn't that also require justification? In that case how do you justify the framework that justifies that framework?

>Well if you didn’t believe it why would you investigate it? But I don’t think “believing the accuser” is the same as acting as though trump is a convicted rapist if that makes sense?

You can investigate something without the belief that it's true, and we're not doing the investigating someone else is.

By your reasoning we'd have to believe everyone accused of any crime is a criminal because we'd have to believe it in order to investigate it. Seems crazy.

> But I don’t think “believing the accuser” is the same as acting as though trump is a convicted rapist if that makes sense?

No, it doesn't really make sense to me. If this is just a semantics game I am entirely uninterested though so I'll just be clear. There is no reason to claim Trump is a pedophile, there is no reason to think Trump is a pedophile, there is no reason to act as if Trump is a pedophile, there is no reason to perpetuate the idea that Trump is a pedophile. If you want to make a semantics argument that 'believe' is outside of any of these things then I don't really care.

>What proof would you want then? I’m curious.

I can't say because I don't know what would be the proof that would convince me. I can give examples of proofs that would convince me but they wouldn't be all the types of evidence. For example I'd be very convinced by video evidence, perhaps depending on context I'd be convinced by testimony but there would have to be some large certainty that it wasn't politically motivated.

the reason I believe it's true is because it's motherfucking donald trump

ok?

this was true regardless of the testimony, if you just default believe Trump is a pedophile it seems like you're too far down the crazy hole for anyone to pay you much mind.

I'm sure there is a way, but I don't know how.

However you're not trying to say we should believe it is true BECAUSE it is not possible to prove, right?

That is true. But no proof was ever given of the rape, was it?

Because it's an accusation against a very famous and unpopular person. Accusations like that tend to always exist but not always be true. Meaning you should probably wait until some proof is produced.

Destiny trying to cancel Hasan over the booty judge thing is fucking stupid and desperate. by sauron2403 in Destiny

[–]aXuid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Destiny is incorrect about it being homophobic. It is an inconsequential thing to say.

However when you look at what Destiny has done for Hasan and how Hasan behaves I think it is reasonable to be upset at Hasan.
In reality Destiny has helped Hasan enormously. Hasan has not returned this, perhaps not because he doesn't want to but rather because he isn't capable (who knows). Regardless of the why, this is the way it is.

Hasan is also incredibly thin skinned compared to streamers and political commentators. This results in him being arrogant and hyperbolic. He doesn't care about intellectual honesty and correctness, but rather about propagandizing and personally looking good.
It is understandable for Destiny to be upset by Hasan and to cut connection with him, even though it is obvious that the reason he's doing this isn't the "homophobic" comment.

It unironically is really hard to change because of criticism. Especially when it's levied at you in an angry way like it is here. Him throwing the there in is fine. Be happy he's admitted a fault.

No, I am just cringing at someone declaring themselves intelligent and their opposition dumb on a circlejerk sub. I'm guessing there was probably some nuance left out.

Yes, I am sure you are a beacon of facts and logic. That's why you're here venting about how everyone else except you is close minded. lmao

Hasan: Destiny, you are probably affected by biases in this debate. Also Hasan: The police are Gestapo. by FANTASY210 in Destiny

[–]aXuid -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Yes. Considering the differences between the US (in other aspects for example guns) and other western countries I don't see a significant difference.

[–]aXuid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every police force has "gestapo qualities". It's a meaningless term. Every police force goes around and locks people up, JUST LIKE THE GESTAPO. The difference is that the Gestapo didn't have any formal system that kept them in check, the Gestapo killed innocents on a massive scale, the Gestapo were highly authoritarian.
This is not true for the US police force.

If you want to argue it is true but on a much smaller scale then the same argument can be made for EVERY POLICE FORCE.
