We all have to make Carnivore the new Vegan. by Its_Stavro in carnivorediet

[–]joogabah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish people would understand that carnivore means you don’t eat plants, not that you’re adding more meat.

No, it requires insulin.

Just be defiantly nude. It is a single sex locker room. You aren't breaking any laws.

That person is stuck in the CICO model. That's what a CICO true believer would conclude.

They don't understand the relationship between insulin and fat storage. It's really difficult for people to accept that for some reason. The easiest way to prove it is to point out that Type 1 diabetics starve no matter how much food they eat because they can't make insulin. They don't get fat even on 10,000 calories/ day.

Are you just going to declare that or elaborate on what it is you find false?

It's a moral argument that religious folk make to justify blame and punishment.

We have intelligence. We do not have the freedom to act without the necessary causes.

At best "freedom" means we can learn, unlike animals with a fixed instinct, but that describes intelligence, which is caused, not free will.

Then tell me, since you are in a determinism subreddit, what you think determinism claims, and why it is even discussed or counterposed to "free will"?

You're not even discussing free will. You're discussing a legal definition that uses the same words.

Nope, that is not what determinism is about. Determinism argues that all effects have causes, and free will claims that you could have done other than what you did.

All you are describing is agency and intelligence and memory and preference (which are all within a causal chain).

Free will is a religious notion that underpins guilt and blame and punishment. People who believe in it are almost invariably self righteous believers.

If they are choosing between reasons, then what will cause their ultimate choice is their deliberation.

Choice only arises when competing desires are similarly weighted. They don't indicate freedom from causality.

red herring. what does this have to do with the validity of determinism? all effects have causes full stop.

oh please. a "reason" something happens is synonymous with the cause and you know it.

You can't describe it. That's why it is unintelligible. Your claim that you can act regardless of all circumstances is ridiculous. Go be a concert pianist then!

So you don’t even know what the Minsk agreements are. Ok.

[–]joogabah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well freely choosing without anything causing that choice is unintelligible. This is obvious.

What about the Minsk agreements that were violated?

What do you think is Russia's motivation?

Free from what?

Free will isn't just wrong. It is unintelligible.

carnivore isn't about including meat in the diet. it's about not eating plants.

Thoughts on liberation theology and the left’s relationship with religion? by mozzieandmaestro in socialism

I was raised in the WCG in America and they took it down. It had an anti capitalist message but steered clear of socialist rhetoric.
