I think I asked her that once too, don't remember getting an answer.
peacegirl, how would you react to Sam Harris if he said the stuff about efferent vision is nonsense (he is, after all, a neuroscientist so knows quite a lot about the brain), or Deepak Chopra if he questions the germinal substance? |
I have heard his lectures. He is basing his opinions on the world in which we live. If your child was held captive, and the only way you could get his release was knowing other people were going to be tortured, what would you do? You come off like some moral authority when it is totally without merit. You are not in anyone else's shoes but your own. Can you at least admit that this is true? You seem to want to dispel anything I say, whether it's right or isn't right? You have a goal in mind, just like Maturin, which makes you totally uncredible. Please, don't respond. Whatever you have to say isn't worth hearing. |
Did you even read what I asked? This is not at all relevant to the post you are responding to. You are completely unhinged in your anger at me.
I was asking you how you would react if some of the people you approach criticize or questions Lessans conclusions? What would you say to Sam Harris if, as a neuroscientist, he told you efferent vision is nonsense?
BTW we've had the torture discussion. I think it is always wrong. Period. |
I know we've been through this discussion but it came up again. How can you be so sure as to how you would react if you were in a position where the need to get someone to talk in order to save your child required you to force the issue in some way, maybe even causing extreme physical discomfort as a necessary means?
