"appealing to Hume's razor"... I don't want to sound disrespectful, but that's laughable. It seems that you believe that positive law (meaning: law that you "think" is right and wa…

That's only if you didn't bother reading it carefully. You missed the point about the ability of performing arguments. Babies and children might not be able to argument at the mome…

Would you mind referring to some articles as examples of the fallacies you're describing? Or is it the case that you simply don't like the content and therefore you dismiss it usin…

Argumentative ethics is not about determining "truth". It's about deriving the minimal ethical that we can agree upon using a logic derivation. If the aim is to determine possible …

Democracies can't work, as they're managed by politicians with low time preferences, which means that in order to get elected they'll promise and pass laws and regulations that mak…

That's just one way to look at it. Another point of view is that elections are way to make people believe they are represented and therefore won't fight a state that maintains the …
