I’m nobody’s brother. I would begrudgingly agree to be called sister, but most prefer to be called sibling, and to be addressed with capitalised They/Them pronouns.


I have a Bachelor of Science, and plenty of experience with the scientific method. And I don’t really feel like having a debate over epistemology, so I’ll give you a challenge instead: Find an empirical study on JSTOR which proves that an external world beyond our senses exists and we are not being misled by Descartes’ evil demon. I’m asserting science is built upon axioms, you’re asserting science is foundational. So use science to prove that the world beyond our senses exists, and you’re not allowed to use any other areas of philosophy! Just science. I expect the paper to be peer reviewed.
it is universally wrong under your philosophy to enforce a subjective paradigm upon someone else
Ah, but I do not believe it is universally wrong to enforce a subjective paradigm. I am quite happy to use violence to enforce My subjective views. For example, if someone throws a Sieg Heil on national television, I believe it is perfectly appropriate to hit them in the face with a baseball bat until they agree to believe in the subjective opinion that genocide is bad. Surely you agree that ethics have no objective truth behind them, yet I would endorse the use of violence to enforce a particular form of ethics that says we should not mass murder people for their ethnicity. Much as the Allied soldiers did in World War 2.


Both is good!
Does Lawnchair let you use app icons with different shapes? I hate it when the icons are all the same shape, it makes it impossible to find anything. I like it when the email looks like a letter so then I just look for the letter and I’ve got it. I don’t want to look for a circle with a letter in it, that’s too hard.
Do they have a free option?


See, My trick is that My last phone was even slower and more outdated, so this new one still feels like the future. And when I upgrade to the next model in 2036 I’m gonna be having such a good time. It’s all thanks to the power of being poor


It’s a fair cop
You bought a Fairphone because you care about the environment and don’t like slavery.
I bought a Fairphone because I want to keep using it for the next decade.
We are exactly the same.


I have not lived with ASPD. They have. Thus, they have access to data I will never have. For that reason, I extend a certain amount of trust in their conclusions. I do the same with many other minority stati I will never have.
Additionally, consider all of the political systems in the world that are smaller than states and capital. Like families, recreational clubs, communes. People with ASPD have difficulty participating in those, too.


Both is good


No, neither of those two things are true.
I don’t think all scientists work backwards from their own conclusions. But I do think they work forwards from the conclusions of those who came before. Standing on the shoulders of giants, and all that. Science cannot create axioms, so the foundation of scientific knowledge is always nonscientific reasoning and observation.
And I think it’s perfectly appropriate to use violence on those whose worldview is violent. Look up the tolerance paradox sometime for an explanation why.


Actually, soulism is a misnomer. It has very little to do with dualism and much more to do with anarchism of perception. The more accurate name is anarcho-antirealism. So I hope that’s safer for you to engage with.


Feeling good feels good, so I decided to make it the foundation of My ethics. I’m trying to make a world where we can all feel really good and don’t have to feel bad.


Hell yeah! Would you be so kind as to repost this to !soulism@multiverse.soulism.net?
You’re lucky, that’s a way less serious condition than bird blindness


I’m not convinced that the version of ASPD I believe in is the mainstream one.
The mainstream perception is cunning manipulators worming their way into the echelons of high society so they can abuse people in their secret sex dungeon, after a childhood of burning ants and torturing squirrels. You know, Peter Wiggin.
What I see are working class folks whose ability to trust others has been worn away by parental abuse, such that concepts of working with others for the common benefit seem like some kind of trick to exploit or weaken them, at least on an instinctive level. People who do not feel that natural pull to get along with others around them, to soften disagreements, to drift towards the consensus opinion. People who would look at a cop, and would not instinctively see the weight of all society looming within this person as you and I would, not at first, but would instead see one individual and upon first instinct would use violence to overcome this obstacle, and would need to consciously remind themself that angering this one asshole has consequences. Someone who does not see the invisible fabric of society suffusing everyone around them, not due to a neurological difference, but due to a developmental missed milestone.
Many of the same symptoms as NPD, but where I am hyperaware of group loyalties and see these social bonds as potential threats, people with ASPD are AFAIK hypoaware of group loyalties and see individuals as potential threats. That’s just the impression I have from the few ASPD-identifying people I’ve known.
You can get vitamin A from carrots. That’s one of the reasons the British beat the Germans.
Does it have video streaming yet?
