So that's what it takes to be a good person. Shoot, all this time wasted when I could have just brushed my teeth a bit more and tried to make some money on the side.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-06-23 at 9:21 AM UTC in You know who has a big dick?it's weird that it's weird to claim not to lie. If we were an honest society we'd have an interest to act like we don't lie, if we had a society that was OK with lying, we shouldn't have a problem with pretending to be honest. Instead we have a society where you're expected to lie, but we somehow don't feel any need to pretend like we're actually honest.

Government, a man-made creature, has nothing except what it takes from God-created men.
Government can give the people NOTHING that it has not first taken away from them.

Originally posted by Obbe More and more research shows that plants are intelligent, can sense touch, react when they are damaged, etc… If sometime in the future it is revealed to you that all forms of life can experience well being and suffering, will you still eat food?
Originally posted by Captain I believe Lanny is avoiding the uncomfortable question here.
I'm not. People who argue plants have hedonic faculties generally state in the general form of "plants can react to stimulus, so they must be able to feel pain!" which I think is a really flimsy argument. In general I think this is a camp that takes some real and interesting findings in biology and draws wholly invalid conclusions from them. But Obbe did put it in the most interesting way the question can be framed, as a hypothetical.
So if we found that all life is capable of well being or suffering, which I've put forward as the criterion for moral considerability, then we need to ask what the distribution and degree of considerability is among species. If plants have a very slight hedonic faculty but humans a much greater one, then it may be justifiable to inflict the amount of suffering required for our well being on plants. For what it's worth I think this argument applies to animals too: the lives of humans are certainly more considerable than those of chickens and I would never say that a starving person is doing something wrong for eating a chicken, it's simply that when we have a choice between eating an animal, which is somewhat less morally considerable than us, and a plant, which I think is totally morally unconsiderable, then we do something wrong by harming the animal.
So what if plants end being capable the same or greater depth of feeling than animals? I think the situation is really pretty far fetched, but if it was the case then I guess most of us would be obligated to die since I doubt we could sustain a very large population on fruit or whatever other sources of calories are available to us without killing anything.

Originally posted by -SpectraL The ventral nerve cord in insects is not the same as the spinal cord in humans. This makes a huge difference in how stimuli is interpreted.
We can discuss wether this is true or not, once you admit that insects do, in fact, have a central nervous system. There's no point in discussion nervous structure if you deny the existence of these animals' CNSs.
Originally posted by Obbe Why do you pick which lifeforms are morally considerable and which lifeforms are not?

Originally posted by Obbe Oh ok.
Do you believe he is alive?
I kind of doubt it. I'm not saying it's impossible but he's taken lengthy breaks from posting and discussed suicide extensively before. Whatever state he's in, I hope it's what he wanted and what's good for him, even if he is probably just trolling us right now.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

The distinction has become important after a number of drawn out legal battles with the National Institute of Science which started after we started beating them out in search results for some kinds of drug synthesis.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Do you think anyone here is any of those people? No? Then who gives a shit?
Originally posted by greenplastic does simply not speaking constitute perjury?
Pretty sure. "Truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth" and all, although I can't actually cite any case law.

Originally posted by Grimace You wanted something for travel, yet you bought the most "bells and whistles" keyboard you could buy under $40.
LEDs..ooooooooooooooooooooh!
lol, buddy, I don't allow keyboards which cost less than $100 into my home. I'm not a big fan of LEDs on anything, they're just popular on nicer keyboards, I'll probably be turning them off. Why you being a hater?
Originally posted by benny vader lanny, did you exercise your moral obligation to ensure no chinks were harmed in the production of these keyboards ???
3 small villages of chinks probably got cultural revolutioned to make this keyboard. It's the blood of the children that really adds the the finish.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Captain I was going to write a longer response to Lanny but I'm going to make things a lot simpler:
Sure, let's call it potential to participate in the social contract
OK, so let's suppose Joe Psychopath happens upon a healthy looking child who's like, IDK, 4 or 5 or something. An age before they can appreciate the idea of a social contract. Joe tortures the child inflicting a lot of pain a maiming them for life. Joe goes on his way thinking he's done a good job of ruining or significantly degrading the child's life.
But there's a twist: unbeknownst to anyone, the child has a rare heart condition that's going to cause him to die in a few months or years. The universe is, per your assumption, deterministic meaning the child will die inevitably. The child's person also never extends forwards far enough to participate in a social contract and thus never had potential to do so.
In such a case, under your model, we seem committed to say Joe Psychopath did nothing wrong as the temporally extended child is not morally considerable. Now of course we can't say he was justified in torturing the child as he had no way to know that the child was not morally considerable, but we would seem to have to say he serendipitously avoided doing wrong by harming a morally irrelevant being.
