I can't, that should be obvious. Hence the part about property rights being nice, but they aren't necessary. Nor are they ever truly "just", but things being just is not the only thing one should keep in mind when making value decisions. People have been responsible for keeping others alive...

I only need things while i use them, property rights are not necessary. But they are nice. The problem with this is that inaction is a choice, and thus you are responsible for that choice. Allowing someone to die of lack of medical care or starvation when one could do something means that...

Nothing new under the sun isn't the mantra of the unimaginative, just the honest. Humans cannot create ideas ex nihlo we must have some form of stimuli that caused the idea to form in our head. Since all ideas are fundamentally the repackaging of previous stimuli no new ideas can form in the...

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you would kill us all? I mean if everyone was a masochist maybe.... Just cause i don't need some invisible father in the sky telling me right from wrong doesn't mean there isn't right and wrong. Doing the right thing will still leave us with a...

It means that because the government needs an army to protect society, the people need guns to protect themselves from the government. Therefore the peoples rights to have weapons shall not be abridged. Any other reading is twisting the words, it's not vague and even if it was put yourself in...

Um yes, yes it does. In atlas shrugged she called people who gave to charity evil, solely on the basis of giving to charity. In addition she stated in an interview that carrying about your friends and family over pure productivity to be immoral. Which is completely batshit, seeing as humans...

Yes. /thread Oh you want reasons? While as noted it is a symptom primarily and not a cause that doesn't mean it's good. Online socializing is powerful because it allows people to filter out people that annoy them, but tolerance is an important social skill that you will never learn unless...

Sony's problem is that sony lost touch with it's intended audience. It didn't take into consideration how much it's audience was willing to pay, and it released late. Your complaining about Kid friendly IPs with a toy?

A) The future, when life sucks even less. B) Dawn of humanity, so that i might restructure the basis of human society how i please.

The nature of humanity is a question for psychologists not artists. More often than not artists have gotten it wrong, true this is because we didn't know much about human nature at the time but then all the more reason we shouldn't be filling our stories with musings on it, The ignorant should...

Old games tended to focus far more on game play than modern games, simply be necessity the graphical power wasn't sufficient to elicit sympathy from humans. Your equating story with intelligent entertainment, and yet they have nothing in common. It's like calling chess or mtg dumb, when...

Actually, there is an exact scientific definition of life. Machines cannot be classified under it currently and may not ever be able to do so. At the point they are however the difference comes down to mechanical vs. biological which is still certainly a difference.

Your reliance on human concepts to evoke meaning and your aversion to the thought of humanity being replaced. Ah now i get it. The purpose of the cells in my body is the emergent process, ie me. Without me those cells lose purpose and thus meaning. They live, they breed, they evolve...

Not every cause is worth fighting for. Only a perfect world is worth doing anything for. Most I'd say just sex, the modern world has a pretty low birth rate. No one needs to say it for it to be true. Dolphins can create new life, this life can be better than what was. Possibly. How...

Sloth without a doubt.
