Activists are generally really knowledgeable and deeply understand the issues. True or false? #activism #justice #socialjustice #ethics #philosophy #change

Pro-choice people sometimes have bad arguments! They can and should do better! That might help their cause! It surely wouldn't hurt!

"Following all the facts about abortion -- scientific, ethical, and logical -- wherever they lead" at the American Journal of Bioethics blog.

A question about hypocrisy & expressing life principles. Is it better to state principles and then perhaps be a hypocrite sometimes, or better to not express your principles? A vague question! #hypocrite #hypocrisy #philosophy #philosophytiktok #integrity #ethics #meaningful #meaningfullife

Replying to @soulhakr When does "life" begin? Well, when does "life" end? More on this one earlier videos and writings off the Linktree. #abortion #bioethics #life #death #defininglife #definingdeath #bioethics #prochoice #prolife

#stitch with @Micah Valentine A great quick discussion on the ambiguity of "when life begins" #abortion #prochoice #prolife #ethics #philosophy #whenlifebegins

#stitch with @Alex O'Connor Final cut off thought: I bet the person who claims there's nothing wrong with killing people for fun won't have anything plausible to say in support of their view, whereas the three who say killing people for fun will or could have good arguments for their view.

When do people not know what they claim to know? What is knowledge anyway? #philosophy #philosophytiktok #knowledge #epistemology

Almost any belief could be reasonable or rational . . but it isn't, due to the evidence that most people actually have. Rationality or reasonableness depends on your evidence, which varies between individuals. #philosophy #knowledge #epistemology #theoryofknowledge #rationality #reason #reasonable #philosophytiktok

Replying to @chad.d.w.thomas "I engage not for the sake of the fool but for the audience that might believe their foolishness. 🍺" #arguments #debates #polarization #positiveinfluence #changingminds

For any important social issue, there are fools on your "side." And there are fools on the other "sides." It's important to engage the fools, but it's more important to not pretend that what those fools say represents the best case for their side or your's. Be fair & honest. #fairness #honesty #arguments #polarization #debates
