So you advise to teach children no rules for behavior & interaction? They should simply just act how they wish without any correction or consequence? As another person has already said, seems like you’re pushing for anarchy, which would create as much oppression or chaos, the physically strong ruling over the weak type of scenario, as you claim that contractualism leads to. — aRealidealist
Yet, the problem persists, and continues to persist. Should we just delve into some thought therapy, or hippocampus memory insertion? — Shawn
When have you known this to be the case, if ever at all? — aRealidealist
Should we? omg! After a black gang shot my cat, and living in a very poor area at thetime, the police just thought it funny. I have to say, I really wanted those kids in jail for life. Shooting at my house windows, that was another thing entirely. Thats up to me to defend myself. But shooting a pet cat, which has no defenses at all against it, that is beyond my ability to comprehend. Shock therapy, brain surgery, I dont know. Prison for life, definitely. What could a person do next after shooting my pet? — ernestm
I'm not talking about killing pet cats, fuck that shit. — Shawn

Scandinavia has one of the most lax crime system ever, and they don't get away with a lot, neither in terms of taxation. Here in the US, it's such fucking lunacy, that I am baffled and wondering if I should move to Sweden. — Shawn
This is the Swedish Fallacy, a logical fallacy I've discovered. It's the argument that since it works in Sweden, it can work anywhere. The truth is that everything works in Sweden. If they decided to turn their prisoners into legislators and to pay everyone to shit on the sidewalk, it would somehow increase the GNP. — Hanover
Luckily, we still are homo sapiens, despite such variance in psychology and sociological traits. — Shawn
Are we like so insecure that we need these birds circling around all the time? Every national intelligence agency has some hawk in it in the US. — Shawn
How do you explain the fact that it works, Hanny? It's all documented, researched, and backed by the Swedish krona. — Shawn
Maybe there's more divisions, yes, but it's the predator/prey relationship that dominates, as in nature. There's symbiotes too.They kinda just ribbit, and hide from eagles and hawks. Hehe. — Shawn
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
