>his voices is doing the same job for me but not in a pleasant way.

Voice modulation is 1 very important part of language and its practical execution should be tought as such in order to fulfill Logos mission in the most effective and aesthetically way.

He miserable fails regarding his voice modulation or he intentionally is using his "soft" voice as a form of rhetoric to appear morally superior and trigger the hell out of me. Upboat if you cant handle his softener impregnated voice.

t. Ad hominem but it was not avoidable.

He never claimed to solve the is ought problem. He says we start with the ought that we value our own wellbeing, and we can derive other oughts from this ought, that is, if we value our wellbeing, we can measure the value of other things in terms of how much wellbeing they give us.

Well, you see comrade, I'm still very much alive.

I'm having drinks with Trotsky and the good Doctor Johnson as we speak. There's a fine and neverending selection of fine liquor and booze here in... - oh, what's that? Mother Teresa is blind drunk and arm wrestling that old queen John Francis? This I got to see!

I'm a Buddhist and I think you're wrong. Look at Imperial Japan, or even Feudal Japan. Compassion was handwaved away with vague references to anatta.
Buddhism is not about a "people". The self is somewhat dubious, let alone such religious group identities.

>>10017064
The Khmer Rouge suppressed Buddhism, as did Chinese Maoists.
