To further argue against the use of authority of 'experts' as a tool to close down debate or suggest that credentials should automatically be regarded as the last word on something I present Martha C. Nussbaum. Martha Nussbaum is the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, with appointments in the Law School and the Philosophy Department. Here is Martha's latest article on how humanity must find new ways to act toward animals in a world dominated everywhere by human power and activity. To quote an analysis of the article: 'Nussbaum suggests that we need to think seriously about curbing predation in nature. It disturbs her that animals eat other animals: this is not how things ought to be. We must be careful in what we try to do to correct this morally bad state of affairs, since through lack of knowledge, we may worsen things; but this is no excuse to let matters slide. To be clear, she is not just proposing that we should make sure that lions can’t get into the deer cage at the zoo; she is talking about the possibility of getting animals in the wild to cease to kill and eat each other. Her idea illustrates and extends a besetting sin of contemporary moral and political philosophy, its idle utopianism. The ordinary circumstances of the human condition are rejected, and philosophers devise fantastic schemes to remake the social and political world to their own liking.' Again, just quoting authority is a fallacy. Instead of letters after someone's name what matters are the results that come from their work. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Jan 2023 8.13pm) So are you claiming she is THE authority? Have you heard of inter subjectivity

An apt demonstration of how farcically and disingenuously political this issue has become. But let's not be too tough on Dave.. I mean at least he's not on 'the left' and is a social conservative so the kids are safe. Oh wait.. [Tweet Link]

Maybe, however, he is a danger. He certainly seems to be open and unapologetic about the incredibly horrible notion that 2 to 8 year old girls are sexually attractive. I believe this is the kind of individual that the EU initiative is aiming to find and try to control. Where the hell do you get such stuff? Goodness knows what cess pits you inhabit online.

That is exactly my point. As it isn't PMQs, why not directly answer?

Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Jan 2023 12.38am) The point is that scientists present their views and others critique them. I like to read a cross-section of views and then determine for myself which is most convincing. Unlike you who simply absorbs opinion from American online influencers without reading around the topics. Your posts of videos are always worthless, almost nobody opens the videos as not many people do what you do. I don't have any dog in this fight, I have never read this lady and don't have the time to read her original writings at the moment.

He may never actually abuse these girl kids but I’m sure would pull his own dick off whilst watching people who do. Still at least he’s not the actual abuser eh!
