Nothing here; no one home.psychological freedom at its maximum, is never troubled by external content of any kind, whether evidential or soundly inferential. — Merkwurdichliebe
Which is it; Wide spread or in labs? — Book273
not an observational or anecdotal study, something peer reviewed and robust, that I could use in my practice — Book273
Well, I am pretty serious about the cause. Plus elevator buttons look so delicious when they glow. :yum: — Merkwurdichliebe
For someone with so much supposed psychological freedom, you seem rather constrained by your own cultural trope.
But I guess whatever gets you a nanosecond of attention. — apokrisis

If only we could get it multiple times, then I could really demonstrate! — Merkwurdichliebe
I absolutely reject the notion that any person is equal. The only equality I acknowledge between individuals is that each one is equally unequal. — Merkwurdichliebe
In the face of a virus we don't understand, with unknown long-term effects, and a mortality and contagion rate apparently much higher than the seasonal flu, I would say it's only a reasonable precaution to ask (or even to mandate if there is a lot of virus in the community) people to wear masks. — Janus
You don't have to have already had an accident to be required to wear a seat-belt, or indeed obey the general road rules. Personally I think it has nothing to do with cowardice, just regard for your own life and the lives of others and the courage to forebear a little inconvenience. — Janus
OK. I was afraid it was something as trivial as that. Breathing proves we're alive too. And everyone does it, so neither are a privilege but we all rather breathe freely than cough.
You're privileged when you have a right or some other benefit that most others don't. — Benkei

You can get it multiple times. I don't think that happens very often tho. — frank

Do a real study, send me results. I want to be given actual data supporting your position. — Book273
You say, “psychological freedom at its maximum, is never troubled by external content of any kind, whether evidential or soundly inferential”. Does therefore the apparent fact that “the sun also rises” every morning, inferred from it having so risen from antiquity, constrain in no way the free soul to accept this as a fact shared with all other souls, whether free or enslaved, that have ever existed? — Todd Martin
Does 1+1 not equal 2? In other words, is there nothing obviously true to all ppl that may be inferred, and if not, where may we draw a line, and by what rationale, b/w what is obviously true, and what is debatably so? — Todd Martin
Secondly, you say, “I have no desire to recruit others into my morality...So when I express my ethical opinion...I am not trying to convince you of anything, rather, I am just expressing my opinion.” But it is difficult for us to believe that a human being would exert such time and energy in something that he would not hope to reap some reward from. Furthermore, it is clear that you possess a certain weltanschauung that you believe is true, concerning the “cage”, and of whose veracity you would like to convince others...why else would you spend so much time describing it to us? — Todd Martin
In other words, isn’t it true that your image of the “cage”, of a place where all of us are confined from birth until self-liberated, describes a universal condition for all individuals? Why would you suggest then that it applies only to you? What you do by describing it to us shows both that you believe it is universal, and that we ought to understand it. — Todd Martin
Well that's disappointing. So much for my narrative. Darn it, I've been preparing it for months now. — Merkwurdichliebe
