This unironically made me feel guilty for "shaking my fist at God" over the suffering in the world.

I guess you KANT handle the truth

My mom started an OnlyFans account. I’ve no idea why. It’s not like we need the money. Dad was in the tech sector and made lots of investments before he passed so we’re very financially stable.
She posted about it for all the family and friends to see. I confronted her and based my arguments against her actions in Kant’s Categorical Imperative. After half an hour she still wasn’t understanding the concept and was just in tears that I wasn’t being supportive.
I told her alright look, imagine things in terms of universal actions. So you should consider whether the act of subscribing to your OnlyFans is something you’d want to see all men in the world undertake, i.e. me, your own son. Obviously this renders it immoral since it fails Kant’s Categorical Imperative.
Now she just think that I’m trying to make an elaborate argument that justifies me subscribing to her OnlyFans because I’m a perv and she starts crying whenever she sees me. She’s threatened that I’ll have to move out but I think it’s a bluff.

I’m giving up on invoking the Categorical Imperative and need some other moral arguments. Unfortunately I’ve spent the last seven years of my life pretty much exclusively reading Kant and secondary sources on Kant, so I don’t have a good grasp on non-Kantian morality.

Any help would be appreciated.

I find it hard to believe someone could feel tempted their entire life and never once even try it.

Somebody should try to debate someone exclusively using Weininger's Sex and Character

>>20002132
What's wrong universally with selling sex?
Are you using your mother sexuallity as a mean to not shame your self and familly?

>Somebody should try to debate someone exclusively using Weininger's Sex and Character

Tha has been done already.

>When the Russian Empress Catherine the Great heard that Diderot was in need of money, she arranged to buy his library and appoint him caretaker of it until his death, at a salary of 1,000 livres per year. She even paid him 50 years salary in advance. Although Diderot hated traveling, he was obliged to visit her.

>On 9 October 1773, he reached St. Petersburg, met Catherine the next day and they had several discussions on various subjects. During his five-month stay at her court, he met her almost every day. During these conversations, he would later state, they spoke 'man to man'.

>He would occasionally make his point by slapping her thighs. In a letter to Madame Geoffrin, Catherine wrote: "Your Diderot is an extraordinary man. I emerge from interviews with him with my thighs bruised and quite black. I have been obliged to put a table between us to protect myself and my members."

>One of the topics discussed was Diderot's ideas about how to transform Russia into a utopia. In a letter to Comte de Ségur, the Empress wrote that if she followed Diderot's advice, chaos would ensue in her kingdom.
/lit/ didn't tell me Diderot was based

How do people steal from major stores, there are literally always people around and about 1000 cameras.

>>20005209
you put it in your jacket and leave. then they do inventory later and see they are one copy short of 50 shades of grey. now do they:
>pay a security guy to sit through several days worth of camera footage focusing on every single person who touched a copy all the while following their movements throughout the store via multiple camera angles and after having identified you as the culprit maintain vigilance for the next time you come into the store so they can call the cops and have you charged with petty theft because keep in mind they cant touch you or detain you themselves and don't know who you are and in the process probably spend several thousand dollars to the security team in manhours and sue you in small claims court for the cost of the book
or
>take the wholesale price hit and ignore it

I worked at Office Depot in like 2003 and my manager told me a 'good' month was when we only lost 10 thousand dollars to shoplifting. you have no idea how much shit people are stealing, not that i condone that behavior

Perhaps, selling sex is not wrong. If it isn't selling illegal weapons and drugs should also be kosher. Food for thought, but that's not my main argument. The problem here is that OP's family is rich. His mom does not need to sell sex. She is doing it because she wants to, which is slutty and unvirtuous. It's like finding bee hives in the woods just so you can destroy them. That's not a nice thing to do. Furthermore, OP's mom could have stfu and kept it quite, minimizing guilt and shame for her family, but she trampled another bee hive by drawing attention to it. OP's mom is a whore, attention whore piece of shit. He should not accept her actions, but he should give me a free voucher for his mom's OnlyFans.

Adorno's instincts about jazz are right, and his descriptive critiques. But the rationale of WHY it is shit is just leftist puffery with no substance. Jazz makes me feel like I'm being mugged by blacks, or if it is made by white nerds then it is animal collective or jacob collier tier

Whoever made this meme has the same shitty opinion as Nietzsche

>>20001731
Bros, I got filtered. Please help me on this one

>>20008177
It's set before Parsifal was written, when Nietzsche wasn't disillusioned with Wagner. It's not offering any opinion of Parsifal as far as I can tell.

Reminds me of Emo Phillips
>I had an argument with my father. I argued that Plato was the Father of Philosophy. My dad takes the opposite position: that I should wax the kitchen floor. I said, “Well, the kitchen floor doesn’t exist, at least not in the permanent sense that the concept ‘floor’ does.” He said “Do you think the concept ‘your skull’ exists?” I said “Yes.” And then he surprised me by juxtaposing the two concepts.

>The character Moomintroll was born out of chance when Tove Jansson, on one childhood summer day, discussed literary philosophy with her brother Per Olov Jansson by the outhouse next to their summer cottage in the archipelago. Tove quoted Immanuel Kant, who Per Olov immediately downplayed. To get back at her brother, Tove drew the ugliest creature she could imagine on the outhouse wall. That drawing is the first glimpse of the Moomins, although Tove called it a Snork.
