(LONG) "I Don't Know" as a Good Answer in Ethics
#62
RE: (LONG) "I Don't Know" as a Good Answer in Ethics
Hey, you too bud..I'm about to pass out in shame and ignominy myself.  

I cant see how you might be question begging with the "IDK!" response, personally.....but if what you actually mean to say is that you do know, and what you know is that science simply cant provide the relevant value...then you are proposing something that epicuras himself could have never proposed because he knew no better.  He thought that the stomach was the seat of consciousness (not an uncommon supposition in his day), and could not have known that there was a chemical formulation for the thing he considered the root of value.  

Sweet dreams, amigo.  Pick it up tomorrow?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
