Sport is a fair as anything other sphere of life is.

I would say it sports is probably more fair than other spheres of life which are a lot less closely observed, quantified and regulated. But they aren’t as remotely “fair” in so many senses as one might think. Redo that race a few seconds earlier and the 2nd place runner could have easily have…[Read more]

There were two links. You didn’t notice the other one or your tactic is to use the first one to distract from the second one.

After reading the first link I didn’t bother with the second. Though yeah, after having read it…turns out to be a fairly sensible article. Might have been better to post that one first before the blatantly provocative a…[Read more]

How did you find that cum rag of a website Unseen? The headlines for their trash articles:

“Pres. Biden Threatens Americans With Nuclear War If They Try To Overthrow Government”

“Making George Floyd Into A Martyr Diminishes Black Americans”

“Tucker Declares War on “Woke” Top US General and Wins Big”

“Stew Peters Show: Bioweapon, Marxist Tak…[Read more]

Nebulous Categorical Emperative (sic)

The categorical imperative in practice, is the absolute opposite of nebulous. I simply don’t see anything remotely fuzzy about forming a moral law and never breaking it. Enco…honestly, do you ever read up on or learn about any of the stuff you seem to dislike? Honestly, don’t you think it would be helpful to…[Read more]

That’s another shortcoming of Religion, Philosophy, and Political Theory: Not enough life-hacks.

Yeah. Political theory only led up to many of the rights and freedoms we enjoy everyday. But that pales in comparison with political theory’s terrible lack of life hacks: like how to keep a bag of rice properly closed or the best method for keeping y…[Read more]

And, yes, Davis, if Philosophy is to be any better than Theology, it needs to come correct with something better than “Critical Theory” which is re-heated, re-packaged Marxism, a worldview whose stock in trade is corpses, and in particular “Critical Race Theory,” which is nothing but old-fashioned racism re-heated and re-packaged after sitting…

False binaries and zero-sum games such as what you’ve cited are part of the reason why Theology, Philosophy, and Political Theory haven’t advanced like Science and Technology.

Are you seriously lumping theology and philosophy into the same category? Ugh.

Not my view: theirs.

Yeah Unseen. I didn’t think for a second that you agreed with them. I was just addressing their text (not the fact that you were relaying their text). Admitting to inequalities in society is difficult for those who don’t suffer from (or even see) those inequalities. I have a few gay friends who live in a fantasy LGTBQ+ bubble…[Read more]

“Critical Race Theory” does not simply acknowledge the existence of racial discrimination in the U.S., but holds that everything that happens in the U.S., especially everything wrong, is explainable in terms of “race.”

That’s a nauseating over-generalisation. That’s like saying economic theory posits that everything that’s wrong with the economy c…[Read more]

Yes, the history of the U.S. on “race” and slavery was bad and the present still has problems, but nothing not shared or exceeded by the rest of the world and nothing we haven’t fought successfully to overcome and nothing we can’t continue to solve in the future.

What are you talking about? The west of the West gave up slavery before America…[Read more]

That was a painful video to watch. Critical race theory is racist because it’s race based? That would be like saying a study which tries to determine to what extent women are unfairly discriminated against in job hiring practices is “sexist” because it focuses on women. The study is simply a tool to gather information about a situation which is…[Read more]

I’m especially attuned to the possibilities of deception wrt radar, and so on, since I was an Electronic Warfare Systems (EWS) technician when in the Air Force, back in the beginning days of stealth technology. The old…[Read more]
