So you’re saying that Japan threw a shit fit because it wasn’t allowed to trade with other nations. Japan.

Fucking love it.

You’re being punished for bad behaviour. Paying for streaming services leads to unskippable ads. If you just torrented, you wouldn’t have to see ads anymore. In other words, doing the right thing comes with moral desserts in this case.

I simply don’t have the stomach for rape or genocide. My reason tells me these things might in some future be be necessary, if there were a contrived situation in which a madman asked me to rape someone or he’ll nuke the world. But my “ick factor” disagrees, and would not permit me to act as I reason. Fortunately, I cannot see the likelihood of such a situation in my lifetime. I have a reasonable certainty of upholding my principles if I always condemn those who rape or genocide. Well, as long as I don’t get it into my head that CNC is rape.

I do not understand why you are so opposed to humility. I don’t know everything. I have access to no fundamental great truth of the world. I recognise my feelings on right and wrong to be just that - feelings. You find the smallness of my ego offensive. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

I think all rape is bad, due to my utilitarianism, and my conviction that rape is a deeply violating act which causes suffering that cannot be made up for

Now, explain your ancap objectivist viewpoint.

Data is nothing without context.

You’re a moral objectivist, too? Shall I start calling you Ms Rand?

You don’t need objective truth to hate Trump. You can just subjectively believe rape is wrong. Are you saying you don’t have a subjective opinion against rape?

The point of science isn’t to produce data. It’s to produce conclusions. The conclusions will be different.

Objective in the second way means that people performing the same actions will get the same results regardless of cultural or personal biases.

I guarantee you that if a Christian and an atheist are given the same prayer healing treatment, the Christian will see a stronger placebo effect. Try the same experiment on the efficacy of faith healing in Afghanistan and in Sweden, you’ll get different results.

Are you saying the Trump administration are poststructuralists who believe everything is open to interpretation?

But science is “objective” to the extent that experiments are repeatable by any any given person following the same methodology will be the same results.

No, the beliefs of the researcher are a confounding variable in any experiment. This is called observer bias. Most researchers believe in disputed ideas like personhood, spacetime, and objects, which influence their scientific conclusions. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Science exists within our socially constructed world. A truly objective epistemology would be incomprehensible to us, because we are not objectively perceiving or thinking creatures.

You religious quacks are what’s wrong with science. Worshipping the idea of science instead of using the scientific method as a tool.

questions the objectivity or stability of the various interpretive structures that are posited by structuralism and considers them to be constituted by broader systems of power.

Calling people who disagree with you mentally ill is one of the reasons poststructuralists say you’re oppressing them.

There are no undeniable facts. Science doesn’t prove anything objectively, it merely provides evidence to support or reject certain ideas.

The guy in the screenshot is not in touch with his feelings.

That’s true, but irrelevant. We’re talking about managing retirement funds. I’m not going to live longer than my retirement funds last. Dying earlier doesn’t change that.

And if I did die of natural causes, it would be a tragedy. I only want to die by my own hand, I don’t want chance to take my death from me.

I know when I’m going to die, because I’m an independent free thinker. I refuse to face my death on anyone’s terms but my own. I intend to live a rich and fulfilling life, watch my family grow, and then end it at a time of my own choosing, after giving all of my grandkids the tools they need to go on without me.

If I died to any means but suicide, I wouldn’t think it fair. You can’t fire me, I quit. It’s my life and I’m going to be in control until the last second.

Maybe we should engage in some natural selection of our own. I hear the French have some revolutionary techniques for it.
