If only ILP was a leftwing echo chamber, then poor Pete’s small brain wouldn’t have to think at all.

Actually, from my frame of mind, Gloominary clearly has taken the time to think through his own “political prejudices”. He’s no urwrongx1000 in that regard. Really, imagine coming into an online philosophy site with a handle that basically notes that if you don’t think exactly like he – she? – does you are wrong times a 1,000!
And with me, Gloominary, has noted this:
Life often isn’t simple, easy, it’s challenging, ambiguous, I totally get that, some don’t, and some don’t want to, or pretend not to, because they don’t want to have an honest conversation about life, they want to impose their will, like you’ve said, the right/might makes might/right folks.
That’s why I propose that he bring his own current political prejudices and explore them with me given my own “areas of interest”:
1] Noting the distinction between a frame of mind that revolves around a “real me” in sync and a set of moral and political values that are said to encompass objectively “the right thing to do”, and “I” embodied subjectively/existentially in dasein, in moral and political prejudices…in the arguments I make for it/this in my signature threads; and specifically in this thread: ilovephilosophy.com/viewtop … 1&t=176529 .
2] Noting that when someone does change their moral and political frame of mind, they are acknowledging that they were wrong about something in the is/ought world around them. And that, once they acknowledge this, they are acknowledging in turn they may well be wrong about other things. Finally, they are acknowledging that, yes, given new experiences, new relationships and access to new information, knowledge and ideas, they might be prompted to change their minds again. And again.
3] As a consequence, what I suggest is that we focus in on a particular moral and politcal truth of theirs and given a set of circumstances we examine our respective moral and political philosophies.
4] Here, however, I’m less interested in simply articulating what we believe is true in the way of moral and political truths and more focused in how we would go about demonstrating to others that all rational and virtuous men and women are obligated to think and to feel the same.
Given a context of his own choosing.
