Naturalistic Fallacy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Moore argues that "goodness" is a foundational and unanalyzable property, similar to the foundational notion of "yellowness," and is not capable of being explained in terms of anything more basic. We intuitively recognize goodness when we see it, as we similarly recognize yellowness when we see it. But the notion of "goodness" itself cannot be defined.

Of the pathetic fallacy by John Ruskin (1856) They rowed her in across the rolling foam-
The cruel, crawling foam.
The foam is not cruel, neither does it crawl. The state of mind which attributes to it these characters of a living creature is one in which the reason is unhinged by grief. All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the 'Pathetic Fallacy'.

click thereWe may try statistics e.g. everyone in the world vote on 'something'
(e.g. fallacy, logic, pepsi) being 'good' or 'bad', and then we could
say with probability of p 'something' is good. However, personal
definition of 'good' changes over time for an individual (by
observation). If everyone retake the poll every second and we
recalculate the distribution, we could be sure with margin of
subseconds of our results. But some people may lie, so our result is
only as good as what people voted. In any case, for the interest of
correctness we may need to make statements such as "this statement is
a fallacy, fallacy is apparently bad with this probability
distribution 5 hours ago, I am at this point of the distribution, tell
me where you are in this distribution, and if you are minority, maybe
I can try peer pressure on you :)"

Get that Camel's Nose out of the Tent! they must use the tools of scholarship that have been made available to them. But they must do so remembering that many of those tools were produced, not by Bible believing scholars, but by liberal enemies of the true faith. St. Paul said, "Evil communications corrupt good manners," (1 Cor. 15)

The Sorrows of Young Wladek-19th August 1996 Autism, so the geopolitiques tell us (yes, and mean it for about the five seconds between joke and punchline, and if they?re French, censor 35% of it) is caused by such continuous selling of the soul in our deals with convention. And if you have a Cambridge education, you?re usually going to go on to be the kind of bloke and chick that delights in making faces look vacant and detached. Migrant faces especially. If you can?t even understand yourself, then God help you understanding and emphasising with the Other. Geopolitical autism is when the Devil calls and calls. It can be the opportunity knock but who wants to answer on charity?

Polski WEB w Detroit-Paszporty Co to jest - Polonia?
Po pierwsze, nie wiadomo wlasciwie, co to ta Polonia jest. Nie ma jednolitej definicji, która przy pomocy ostrych kryteriów pozwalalaby kogos do Polonii zaliczyc, a kogos innego z jej szeregów wykluczyc. Intuicyjnie zaliczamy do Polonii dawnych emigrantów, którzy od lat mieszkaja i pracuja za granica, niezaleznie od powodów, które sklonily ich badz zmusily do wyjazdu i osiedlenia sie daleko od Polski. Za Polonie uznaje sie takze tych obywateli obcych panstw, których rodzice, a nawet – dziadkowie zamieszkali z dala od kraju.

Welcome to Cafe Poland, Izabela!
There are 201 members, though only about 10 or so who post regularly.
There are 5 or 6 founders.
A few months ago we had a big controversy about whether to speak
Polish or English (with a smattering of other languages). We
eventually decided to go bi-lingual, even though the vast majority of
the messages are in English.

Fire the Bastards! by Jack Green
posing as "the reader" instead of "i" is a trick to pretend modesty
while assuming an undeserved impersonal authority he means his
opinion as a mere human being or mine or yours or anyones is
sneerable at but after "the reader" is hired by Authority, paid a few
measly bucks for a few spotty hours reading, "the reader" becomes
god? objective? full of rich status? or still the same idiot,
playing it safe
