Evan J. Morrison commented on Lore's blog post Philosophy paper 2 and update on life."Sorry, for such a late reply. I do not know much of anti-intellectualism. As for determinism I'm fairly versed in, such as the problem of free will and determinism. Determinism in Philosophy of Mind and such message if you'd like :)"
Evan J. Morrison commented on Lore's blog post Philosophy paper 2 and update on life."Lore,
That method does not seem to present any issues at all; none that I can recognize at least. The Socratic Method is the way in which I begin to write my papers. Ask questions, and then follow the consequences of the answers; which in turn will…"

Bart replied to Evan J. Morrison's discussion Tragedy - Does Distance Matter?"A difference between when something like this happens in a war-zone and in america, could be that there are more information about the victims.

Sorlaize replied to Evan J. Morrison's discussion Tragedy - Does Distance Matter?">What causes those who were not involved in the attack, but who remained in the town, to break down and >feel sympathy or sorrow? A human connection, through empathy & realizing it could be us.

The Shiznit replied to Evan J. Morrison's discussion Tragedy - Does Distance Matter?"Good questions, Evan.

Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Cognitive dissonance. One of the most irritating human traits."
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause.
Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
Aya replied to Aya's discussion The ethical implications of "Temporal Isolation""From the last three lines of your post, I'm assuming you are applying the "better safe than sorry" mentality to life-rights over all of time. This addresses points 3) and 5) of my post on Wed 5/15, but does not address points 1),…"

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
