I’m not saying everything can be ranked.

I understood your response to my last comment as a rebuttle to the idea that “any moral formula is shit from the perspective of another legit moral framework”

Therefore I assumed you thought that there is some way to objectively say, “killing people is better than not killing people.” Which even though I agree with it, I’ve found I can’t prove it without using an axiom that is just my feelings.

I think as a society we would need to understand consciousness to be able to have any hope of discovering an objective morality.

There is a gray zone, there is an acceptable zone, and there is a line, which always must exist, and when anyone crosses it, they must be removed from society.

I mean yeah I agree. It would be energy intensive to try and allow everything, so obviously we don’t allow anyone to do anything. That would be unstable. But that doesn’t prove that we have objective reasons for where we draw lines. It’s all just power and negotiation.

Preaching hate on innocents is not legally forbidden (well, depends on the country), but it is morally wrong.

I said something similar earlier. Glad we are all sane here.

I think objective morality gives blind spots because it can be a bit thought terminating. If you keep asking why something is good or bad, you’ll eventually find yourself at an assumption that isn’t really better than, “thats just what I feel”.

But also I get it if you don’t see it that way. I couldn’t make the phrase “good and bad are two sides of the same coin” be anything but a lie for a few years. And maybe I’m just crazy for having that make sense to me now.

But I really think that value systems and world views can’t be ranked in a vaccume. Therefore I don’t see any objectiveness.

Now hold up. We’ll start having too much fun with relativism if you keep talking like that.

But even being a relativist, I find being a utilitarian is really helpful for actually interacting with the world. It’s just that whatever formula you use will always be shit from the perspective of another totally legit value system.

All that to say: Yeah I agree, doesn’t matter if he thought he was Jesus. He was causing real harm to people.

I guess we are supposed to submit old charlie kirk posts?

He tried so hard to correct it lmao

He can have one day off for each famous right wing speaker merc’ed

Honestly impressed Wendy’s would consider serving such an item later

That author seems to post 3 articles a day. I mean they obviously arent researched passion projects, but that quota is wild. How much can you really understand in a third of a work day?

I cannot belive you have this many

I feel the effort homie.

Keep em coming

That was way more explosive than I expected.

If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?

Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.

To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.

Well for me I guess I would’ve liked voting day to be a holiday before we got to any others. It felt like a vibey culture war win rather than actual progress.

But like it is a thing worth celebrating. Much better than Columbus day lol.

For most shareholders in most businesses, the risk is that you are no longer as rich as your peers.

Most US households can’t weather a $1000 unexpected expense without going into debt.

To be real, capital gains are the definition of inequality. It is making money by having enough money to own something. There is no other economic force that drives inequality more.

Small business is a decent minority of US employers. It can’t be ignored, but it is the unlikely case when sampling by employee or just by random citizen.

At most an owner can be reimbursed for their costs of starting the business. Past that I don’t see any reason to give them a special share of the profits. Even that feels generous given how unequal we are, and that fact that having the money to start a business means you are likely more privileged than your employees.

Depends, are you considering the fact that 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans? Also are you considering that being in the top 10% means you likely have rich friends and family that could bail you out? I think black rock is going to be fine.

Most businesses aren’t like my friends parents little Chinese restraunt.

To me using the, “think of the shareholders” line is silly for a reason. The biggest privilege is the privilege to make mistakes without becoming impoverished. Workers have it much harder in that respect.

Edit: grammer

Skill issue

Lmao

I’m all for having more options. Though deep down I just want everyone to work on Ardour lol.

How do these browser based DAWs stay funded? Is there enough community money to keep these things up?
