Willingness to debate.

Vigilantes? On what grounds of the subject?

I am sensing some deep seated hostility from you towards me.

Put my Brittny Ward pic back up.

Maybe, but what’s that next to the deep seated hostility he feels towards me. And I don’t even exist!! :wink:

I dunno, how about the relationship between batman/joker, we’re both comic-heads. Nerdfest ahoy.

Such a debate is beneath me. You can think of something better.

Debate the movie Yor.

Lol. “Yor as a dialectic crisis metaphor in modern ethics.” I don’t see it somehow.

Ha-ha, what are you interested in…? I just like to write, so all topics, low, high or in between are all good to me.

No, fuck that, debate “Yor as a dialectic crisis metaphor in modern ethics” can be done, I introduced you to it by saying I had been contemplating doing a audio commentary explaining Iabigious’ philosophy to that movie, so it certainly can be done.

I would like nothing more than to see that. Takes less than two hours to watch, I think Joker can grasp it’s depth fast enough. I will judge it. Only the best movie ever made.

I think every major philosopher should write long essays and debate on the meaning of this movie, and how it applies to life in general.

Look…

Even you said everyplace Yor visited, everyone died in. How does that fit into the geopolitical consensus of what is a crisis area, and what is not in international affairs?

Yor is the political voice of the 21st century. He represents a shirt cut to resolving all international disputes. Like a gullible yet charming Judge Dredd.

Okay, okay, l could write 3 chunks of utter bullshit about Yor I guess, if only to make Turd happy.

Since I’m still not actually sure what a dialectic is, I nominate the yor-master Turd to give us a title, designate and who’s to propose/defend what.

Or keep the title, and give me a quick dialectic example. Is it still hegel’s model - thesis antithesis synthesis thingimajigg…?

Dialectic is any non-equation that is formulaic.

A = B + C is not Dialectic, But B + C is. Discovering from B + C that it equals A is a similar play to synthesis & anti-synthesis… it is a lot of busy work that distracts you from the knowing/unknowing character of rhetorical supposition. Isn’t profitable in and of itself. Rhetoric is the communicative Dialectic.

All rhetoric is dialectic, but not all dialectics is rhetorical. Only a subset of rhetoric is linguistic, hence why I call Faust a troll, for essentially stating all philosophy is language games.

Here:

Gives you a quick overview of what Aristotle though of dialectics within conversational exchange, in his view things had to be thought through this process in a linguistic exchange, and hence is dialectic.

So… now fight to the death for the forum’s amusement.

Okay, thanks, I’m set. Christ, I’ll have to watch the damn thing again. Thnx life.

Top of my head, I’ll take the position that Yor personifies the application of amoral realpolitik to a collapse of traditional ethics in a multiethnic crisis.

Joker, you can literally take any other position. Yor is nothing if not malleable.

The number of rounds are to continue until both debaters both affirm the debate is over.

Standard is to impress me with a superior argument of your point of view. May the most badassed debater win.

Sounds like all thunderbirds are go.

That’s been tried and it just makes the debate a normal conversation. Tab said he could do three chunks of bullshit, that would work.

Is Hahaha actually on board?

Depends on the subject. That’s HaHaHa :wink: , all capital H’s please.

Perhaps if you are to challenge me on something it would be best to know what I like talking or conversing about. Take a gander Tab.

Oh god plz, joker mate JUST GIMME A SUBJECT.

Seriously, right now I’m considering resurrecting an alt, and debating myself here.

Ok, looked at your site, I don’t believe the world is sick, nor particularly sad. Anarchy, done it. Impractical. Nihilism, life’s too short. I dunno, all a bit grandiose, that site. Big ideas and big words, and gravely nodding heads. All a bit dark, including the colour scheme.

Where’s the fun…?

Looks a bit like you were hoping that during the debate there’d be one of those film montages, tortured philosophers crouched over desks, hammering at keys, rubbed beards, smoked pipes, some hair being torn out, maybe a chair thrown. “NOOOOOO !!!” etc. And one of us, suddenly spurred to intellectual heights never before reached by man, solves the world.

I’m not that good. :smiley: And neither are you.

I’m a father, not sure if you are too, how about something along those lines…? What makes a good dad or something…? Or family roles changing for the 21st century. It would be real at least, and the words wouldn’t have to go over 3 syllables that often.

Other stuff I’m thinking about at the moment.

Connected culture, how does it affect people.
Beauty contests, are they ok.
Augmented reality, how will the world change.
Mmorgs and freetoplay culture, anything to be salvaged philosophy-wise.
What 3 superpowers I should pick. Always a late night favourite.
Whether I should buy a Harley or not.

Carleas is being a cunt by running interference again. You can count me out of every judging anything here.

I will either judge, or I will not be a judge, having his creepy ass stand over my shoulders, dictating how things should go it a big no-go. Second time he pulled this stunt. Never seen any evidence he knew diddly squat about debating, or had experience beyond communication classes during college. That shit certainly doesn’t count.

I actually ran real life philosophy meetups, flesh and blood people. I have some fucking experience in the debate area, what works and what doesn’t. It isn’t up to king Carleas to determine what works or doesn’t work, but those experienced in such matters. Staring at the computer making a shit face trying to destroy every attempt to have a formal debate, while insisting the debate section be left around, is utterly idiotic. Your micro managing this shit into oblivion. It isn’t ever going to fit your ideal, because nobody is into that.

Just make a couple sock puppet accounts Carleas and debate them. Wow everybody, showing us how it is supposed to go down.

If you have this section, it has to involve people, actual people. Most people aren’t going to think like you. It is part of the charm of living.

You could debate why neo liberalism is great where I in turn could argue against it. I dunno man.

Yeah, that’s all you statists can do in debating against anarchism in terms of practicality or utilitarianism. Predictable really. Yes, I think the whole world is sick, sad, mad, funny, and largely depressing. Solving the world? Now that I would like to see.

I’m a father also. Not interested in debating that however.

Augmented reality?
