ust 2012 thermippos the complete dialogue the scene is the agora outside the office of the magistrate socrates is on his way to answer charges of impiety there he meets thermippos holding forth confidently amidst a gathering of young men naturally since death is on his mind socrates seizes the opportunity to discuss the subject with a man who seems certain of everything socrates you agree thermippos that all men are mortal thermippos i do socrates and you agree furthermore that i am a man thermippos i have no reason to doubt it socrates socrates surely then you agree that i am mortal thermippos i didn t say that you did don t put words in my mouth socrates i beg your pardon thermippos but i have simply drawn what follows thermippos strawman socrates but no true reasoner could fail thermippos ah the no true macedonian fallacy socrates but thermippos given the logical form thermippos define logical form socrates you must either accept the conclusion or reject at least one of the premises thermippos false dichotomy socrates i see thermippos you re an idiot thermippos and that s an ad hominem socrates ad hominems thermippos with a brick the charges of impiety are dropped posted

share to pinterest without borders one sometimes hears the following enthymeme most of nature does not have borders therefore mankind should not have borders 1 the enthymematic form leaves unspoken a premise which the argument must have in the logical form to which a man who makes the argument is rationally committed and which in this case stands as follows mankind should not have that which most of nature does not have wherefrom it follows that mankind should not have reason thought or speech nor of course the fruits thereof no philosophy religion science mathematics good books half witted arguments clothing tea kettles bank holidays and so on given that most of nature does not have these things maybe here is the unspoken urge of those who appeal to the freedom of non human nature as the model for human nature to be lifted of the burden of rational nature and to live without thought or underpants yet maybe still further for most of nature is also without life 1 as one libertarian

wednesday 16 february 2011 an intolerable state of affairs her majesty s government s chief zombifier of science otherwise known as its chief scientific adviser speaks before a troop of scientific civil servants we are grossly intolerant and properly so of racism we are grossly intolerant and properly so of people who are anti homosexuality we are not and i genuinely think we should think about how we do this grossly intolerant of pseudo science the building up of what purports to be science by the cherry picking of the facts and the failure to use scientific evidence and the failure to use scientific method i d urge you and this is a kind of strange message to go out but go out and be much more intolerant 1 often the liberal speaks of intolerance as if it were something bad in itself which of course it is not yet when it suits he speaks fairly reasonably intolerance is something good when its object is something bad 2 naturally where the liberal or anyone else has wrong ideas of what is bad so his intolerance is wrong for that reason at least if not also because of a lack of proportion but is not wrong by itself but with all this honest talk of intolerance the advisers and administrators of our liberal bureaucratic regimes need to be careful as the confidence of these regimes grows in the service of great lies and political evils and as they abandon the expedient device of tolerance for those areas where their power formerly could not determine the case they risk becoming as unsubtle as the old marxistic regimes whereof they have been hitherto the more refined brethren an authoritarian such as i may take this as a hopeful sign for it is in greater subtleness that the lasting evil of our regimes has lain in ever renewing their own images to eschew older negative ones hence giving themselves the overall image of getting better against the reality of becoming more untruthful by new or subtler techniques of beguilement in striving to seem friendly and approachable whilst being the most impersonal and anonymous regimes in history in discouraging the idea of authority i e visible and acknowledged power whilst building regimes whose vast power is less acknowledged than the power of the old authoritarian regimes which they dwarf and so on but still although one may take this as a hopeful sign less subtleness more sight of reality one must bear in mind that the latter day briton being a jaded and wanton consumer of one image and sensation after another a votary of slogans and sound bites is less and less able to grasp anything but crudenesses 3 so even if her majesty s government lost all its wits and employed an official to spit in his face and insult his entire heritage the latter day briton might still call it the greatest regime in history in spite of it all her majesty s government already does so metaphorically and he hardly bats an eyelid 1 john beddington quoted by john dwyer and laura hood beddington goes to war against bad science research fortnight 14th february 2011 via delingpole via mangan prof beddington says he does not want to have to deal with what is politically or morally or religiously motivated nonsense ibid but it seems to have escaped his notice that dealing in politically motivated nonsense is his job indeed if he did not find that science always fell mysteriously on the side of an insane but officially promoted ideology going by the name of political correctness he would soon be out of it 2 i say fairly reasonably since it would be better to say intolerance is something good when its object is something bad and when it does not itself lead to something worse than that object starkly said intolerance of nose picking is something good but not if it goes so far as state surveillance of all households for the sake of stamping it out altogether the reader i am sure can think of less silly and more pressing examples of wrong intolerance from the psychological engineering point of view the liberal s idea of tolerance is a remarkable one it encourages him to feel magnanimity in upholding his own beliefs whilst damning all others with little or no care for the truth or reasonableness thereof which is to say it encourages him to feel magnanimity in bigotry liberal bigotry is that wonderful state of mind in which one is compelled to call a bigot anyone who stands at odds with it which is to say it is bigotry made sublime or the typical liberal is so great a bigot that he feels magnanimous as such there is to be sure much trouble with the use of the word bigot and its cognates it has always been a word ripe for abuse it is often used question beggingly and so the word has long been a favourite insult cast by bigots and now since it has been redefined in many minds to mean someone who does not hold liberal beliefs the word has become even more fraught with communicative difficulties still for a fine example in a nutshell of what i dare to call sublime liberal bigotry the following is hard to beat pictures of adults who re engaging in consenting acts have no associated moral issues attached and anyone who says otherwise is a puritan bigot john b commenting on charlie owen pornblocking why it would have killed me liberal conspiracy 21st december 2010 as the example illustrates the word puritan is another word that has also undergone redefinition it is now often used to mean someone who fails to abet or kindly overlook debauchery and libertinism 3 i suppose the more liberaldom belittles its peoples biologically culturally
