que celle selon laquelle toutes nos motivations finales visent des plaisirs particuliers).
C'est seulement si on demande "est-ce que si quelqu'un monte dans la machine c'est bon pour lui" et qu'on a l'intuition que non, que c'est un argument contre l'hédonisme axiologique (ici prudentiel). Non ?

Ok, I'm looking for "philosophy and weirdos" sky. Can we get the same debates that we have over there?

Metonymy.

What should we call a system in which people who own capital use it to produce goods in order to sell them on a market for profit? Even if there are lots of constraints and they need permission to do it, it's probably still a form of capitalism. I'd agree that it's not a free market, though.

You can't just make up a new definition for existing words and then argue against that thing instead of the original one, though.

Very interesting.

Aperiodic reminder that you should read Magnus Vinding's "Suffering-Focused Ethics, Defense and Implications".

Does open individualism make utilitarianism more, or less likely? I would say less likely, at least for total utilitarianism.

It would be nice to have a views counter here. For the people who are likes-starved.

I think this is an important fact that not enough people are talking about.

Normal authors in their autobiography: "My first love was so innocent and pure, I remember how we kissed tenderly after watching the sunset..."
Reinaldo Arenas: "I fucked everything that crossed my path, even the trees."

Phone-borne psychosis. There isn't just one disease btw, but many, more or less dangerous.

I've been lurking in the Brazil Supercluster for a while and it looks like old Facebook, mostly made of people sharing their lives (interspersed with the occasional political or porn account). Seems this website has attracted a lot of mainstream people. I wonder if it's the same in other clusters?

The coolest point made by Ryder in his development of painism is that society should give end-of-life patients euphoria-inducing medication. The way most cultures treat dying people is obscene, it's like their suffering is the point.

Looks like Elon Musk has just realized that the racists are racist, and is having a mental breakdown as a result.

Every now and again, I stumble upon a normal person (usually on Bluesky rather than the other place) and I'm reminded of the fact that most people do not spend all their time thinking about AI risk, wild animal suffering, and shrimp welfare. Amazing.

Ah yes, we all knew that one admin.

It's a bit depressing that telling the truth to people will often lead them to double down on falsehood, or downright attack you. This happens even when they admit you're right.

Its No Measure - #vegan #animalrights

If people talked about math the same way they talk about philosophy:
- Here is a theorem about prime numbers.
- This theorem is false because none of those numbers is divisible by 4.
- Well it's about prime numbers, which are only divisi...
- I know what a prime number is.

Porqué não terminar a transição hoje? Sería o melhor jeito de acabar com a sensação de inutilidade.

The way an economy is organised and the nature of the stuff it produces matter more that the amount of stuff it produces. One of the reasons why GDP is such an irrelevant metric.

My my, if it isn't the grumpy Brazilian postrat herself.....

The hyperbole escalator is the lesser-known cousin of the euphemism treadmill.

This is crazy. What are we waiting for???

The crypto bots have arrived. Two of them just followed me. 😩

Claiming that "great" literature cannot be compared to "popular" literature (or to, say, comic books or anime) is a form of snobism, and signals both ignorance and poor taste.
