The problem is Im not as good at weaving straw men.
Well, Im taking up way too much space with my implicit insults to everyone but myself.
Im just as vainglorious an idiot as this bastard. No doubt about that.
Is conflicting goods like when the canned tomato has beef with the light bulbs?
One thing people don’t consider is that maybe iambiguous deserves being lost. Maybe it’s good, a good sign. Maybe the world he wants, a world with laws that perfectly dictate how all human interactions should go, would be a horrible fucking world.
No rather like atoms trying to occupy the same space causing pressure.
Why is the world will to power?
Because it kicked all the other worlds arse
If I hear a “Universal Truth”, I think Coca Cola or Hulk Hogan.
Something which simply is and has its image about it which clearly points to itself, and which people can have around them without being deranged from their own elements, but which provides a placeholder for their continuous responsiveness.
A truth has to have a narrative.
Universal facts are scientific facts, they need nothing to pertain to, to exist.
A truth pertains.
A narcissist wouldn’t be able to see that a fact is not a truth.
Iambiguous will NEVER debate me on the concept of consent being the superset of his subset argument because he knows he’ll lose, and if he loses that debate, he’ll lose his purpose for posting as he has since joining the boards.
Iambiguous already knows himself that he lost that debate, he just doesn’t want to make it public, so that he can keep posting the same drivel that philosophy hasn’t solved anything.
Yes. There are objective moral truths: No being wants their consent violated.
He avoids me like the plague, and now his reason is not because of my arguments, he’s the hero who’s taking pity on my mentally ill soul.
But how do you construe that?
In a world of conflicting goods?
You know, as a note?
To others?
WHAT IF MY GOLD CHAIN DOES NOT MATCH MY PRINTER?
What is BEHIND the universal truth?
WHO came up with social justice?
Really, literally, who?
What is justice? What is it?
Qui gets paid?
What are conflicting goods but an invitation to consent-violation?
the demiurg?
truths are spoken. A universal truth is something which is universally spoken.
So universal truth means consensus truth?
Then are there any universal truths? We have solipsists, schizophrenics, contrary people, other cultures, animists…
Since no one in this thread has actually mentioned it, can I note that no one here knows what “universal truth” means? Or is it just that everyone still on this board is in on the game of creating chaos and hopelessness by never revealing such things?
some people think it is not a coherent term. Iambiguous present a definition a page back. I think there are problems with that definition and presented a critique. Others seem to think universal truth means true for everyone. But that is confused.
Notice Zero Sum games use…
see if you can hold your breath without passing out.
Presumably he means there are no exceptions to that, so it is universal.
But that is confused since ‘truth’ works just as well there.
Homo sapiens need to breathe to remain conscious.
That statement is true, let’s assume. To then say it is universally true, or a universal truth, adds no extra meaning. It is speaking about all humans. So at best it is redundant.
Iambs seems to mean it is universally believed.
But that rarely happens and certainly doesn’t make it true or truer. And it would be a bad term for it.
Yes I have read the thread and thank you. But my question was whether these people actually, in reality, believe what they are saying. Too many threads on this board appear to be just a game of playing with words to stir things up. For example it is hard to believe that the Iambiguous character is at all ingenuous.
