Hello Jow Forums. What thoughtforms do you feel are most strongly influenced by Post-Enlightenment thought, and how do you choose to combat the inherent "group strength" that plays a role in reinforcing the base idea.
Post-Enlightenment Thought
Gabriel Gonzalez
Jordan Mitchell
how about science?
Brody Morris
Impressive. Would the scientific method be the considered base form? Or reduced from there to reflect anything simply, empirically, substantiated?
Adrian Ramirez
this runs into the same problem of definition as Mill's harm principle
'rights' are in fact a shit tier and incoherent way of setting up an ethics

how about you make a case against science instead of trying to practice your best sophistry?
you guys wanna fuck with science? make an intelligible argument, instead of this jargon shit, and i'll take you motherfuckers down

its interesting that you bring up Mills Harm Principle. Do you feel as a Western society we are moving to far away from a centralized understanding of "inalienable rights" that would belong to the Post-Enlightenment thinker, to have a unified definition of harm? Ethics by and large, seem to be the p[roduct of popular cultural thought.

If you're a brainlet, maybe.
Jason Miller
The idea that rights are inalienable is flawed, because it's inconsistent with the right to self defense.

Okay, I'll bite. Does the empirical method of evaluating data consider only what it can understand, or also what it cannot?
Leo Hall
Explain?
