Take it to another topic
aw man.
I said I concede the point.
And I think most people means living people.
At its greatest extreme “most people” means >50% of people.
definitions are important or something like that
This thread proves that a bunch of teenagers cannot have an intelligent conversation about philosophy.
I know I probably can’t so I’m not even going to engage
maco what did you edit?
it’s greatest extreme

I think we’re going along pretty well, no one’s called anyone an asshole yet-oh wait.
People just means human beings but if you specify living people then it just becomes a pointless statement to make and carries no weight and is just a Argumentum ad populum at that point.
If someone said eating animals is killing animals, people aren’t denying that animals are being killed, the debates about it are likely for other reasons that relate to Pros and Cons The argument is almost never “Can it be?.”
so we back in the mines
The whole conversation just fucking disintegrated. We are not smart or patient enough to engage in a debate about such an abstract concept. I’ll be the first to admit that my contributions to this thread have been absolute shit.

you’re currently pressing your own frustrations regarding the topic onto others, I think it’s actually quite productive, we’ve currently proven that people are capable of changing their mind when argued against successfully
That’s not what I see.
then, please, why has this argument disintegrated?
Lemme re-enact a qna similar to how you’re acting rn.
Why is the sky blue?
The sky is blue if we’re talking about Earth’s sky at this current point in time.
That literally doesn’t answer the question
Saying “Living people are capable of being bad most of the time” literally doesn’t answer the question of “Is there any actual reason to be a good person?” It provides no reason nor denies any reason, it’s just saying a statement without using that statement to support anything.
Exactly, which is why I said:
