Arguing with a moral relativist... entyti Send a noteboard - 14/12/2022 07:20:16 PM

Ya know, half the reason I take so long to respond to you is that your posts are a riddle that I doubt even you know the meaning of


(Roland is dragged off the stage Monty Python style ) … saying things that High Agreeableness and Low Agreeableness has been commented on ever since we have writing. He also notes it is the concept of recognition, and mutual recognition is what makes cooperation possible but also lack of mutual recognition is what leads rancor, strife, and animosity.

This is why is bad. To reference an earlier discussion, Twitter banned a bunch of things, but among them, users who used the term "groomer" liberally. Suddenly, many voices went underground. Are we better off? Or is it, as has been said, If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.?

Where are we now? Many are upset about Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. His move to do this is attributed to (rightly or wrongly, but attributed nonetheless) the banning of the Babylon Bee (another discussion you and I had, if I recall).

Now evidence is accumulating that social and mainstream medias intentionally throttled the Hunter laptop story under the concerns of it's sway on the election. There is a solid argument that this story, if presented at the time of it's uncovering, could have swayed the election.

To those who feel like the election was stolen, they at least can stand on solid ground that it was at least rigged. But of course, election denial was censored, so those voices went underground as well...

Are we better off? With a senile in the office likely being run by an unelected cabal within the Democratic Party? With the added bonus of silenced voices pushed to the sidelines with the antisemites and flat earthers?*



Nothing new under the as an old man once told a tale of some wind near some misty mountains

The Wheel will weave as the Wheel wills, but we all have our hands on the mast.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. CS Lewis


I am your king!
Man: (laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power
derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical
aquatic ceremony!
Arthur: (yelling) BE QUIET!
Man: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some
watery tart threw a sword at you!!
Arthur: (coming forward and grabbing the man) Shut UP!
Man: I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some
moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!
Man: Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: SHUT UP!
Man: (yelling to all the other workers) Come and see the violence inherent
in the system! HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!
Arthur: (letting go and walking away) Bloody PEASANT!
Man: Oh, what a giveaway! Did'j'hear that, did'j'hear that, eh? That's
what I'm all about! Did you see 'im repressing me? You saw it,
didn't you?!

Monty Python is timeless, no?


Nisus Wettus – “Crucifixion?

Prisoner – “Yes.”

Nisus Wettus – “Good. Out of the door, line on the left, one cross each.”

Nisus Wettus – “Crucifixion?”

Cheeky Prisoner – “Er, no, freedom actually.”

Nisus Wettus – “What?”

Cheeky Prisoner – “Yeah, they said I hadn’t done anything and I could go and live on an island somewhere.”

Nisus Wettus – “Oh I say, that’s very nice. Well, off you go then.”

Cheeky Prisoner – “No, I’m just pulling your leg, it’s crucifixion really.”

Nisus Wettus – “(Laughing) “Oh yes, very good. Well…”

Cheeky Prisoner – “Yes I know, out of the door, one cross each, line on the left.”


*Not to disparage flat earthers or antisemites. You do you (not... you. the proverbial you)! I'm just saying, the southern constellation is kind of a wrench in your model...
