Nathan.Nobis's Shortcast

Two definitions of "human being": biologically human organism & human person. #abortion #prochoice #ethics #philosophy #definitions #criticalthinking

Seeking examples of this type of thing: ""I will and should call you X, even though I think you aren't an X." #philosophy #ethics

A proposal for what you should believe: you should believe what you'd believe if you didn't know who you were. If you didn't know who you were, you'd want to believe whatever the most knowledgeable person believes? #philosophy #criticalthinking #knowledge #epistemology #theoryofknowledge

Replying to @nathan.nobis One thing that's usually less persuasive than giving arguments -- that is, reasons to try to support your views -- is not giving arguments.

How often do arguments change minds? If not often, are there better ideas? #philosophy #ethics #criticalthinking #logic #learning #education

#stitch with @TheAngryAsian Must you always "respect" people's religious views? No. What good examples support this point?

Is this a bad argument against animal rights? Why or why not? #animalrights #humanrights #abortion #vegan

Must anyone agree that embryos & fetuses are "babies" & "children"? No. #abortion #prochoice #prolife #babies #children #miscarriage #embryo #fetus

Should you "accept people as they are"? It depends, obviously! reposting since the title screen didn't post last time and I don't like that. #acceptance #selfesteem #selfrespect #peace #selflove

Two ethics tests: John Rawls' Theory of Justice versus contemporary Virtue Ethics. Which is better? Why? #ethics #philosophy #Rawls #virtue

Do you need to "accept people how they are"? Not always! Stating the obvious here! :) #acceptance #respect #peace #selfesteem

Are you really teaching people with your writings and videos? Do they understand? Test them! If they can apply what you are teaching them to new issues, new problems and questions, then they likely really understand: them just saying they understand isn't enough. #teaching #writing #onwriting #testing #philosophy #understanding #communication #teachingwriting #literacy

Are some pro-choice people unscientific? Maybe! Are some pro-choice people literally illogical, or do they fail to understand the literal logic of their arguments? Yes. #prochoice #prolife #abortion #philosophy #ethics #criticalthinking

Ethics is about what's wrong, permissible (not wrong) & obligatory-wrong to not do. #philosophy #ethics #criticalthinking #whatdoyoumean

A tip: About abortion, engage the arguments instead of just appealing to bodily autonomy. Is what's said true or false? What does what's said mean? How do you get to what's said to an anti-abortion conclusion? #abortion #prochoice #prolife #ethics #philosophy #ethics #logic #reproductiverights #criticalthinking
