Oddbean new post about login | logout Does the fact that rape occurs everywhere in the known world mean we should accept it?
I assume the answer is no then. Is your best explanation that it does not exist because everyone is a retard?
You're also relying in the bandwagon fallacy, btw.
I've only asked questions so far, so I'm curious how you reached that conclusion
It's pretty obvious what you're doing. If I'm wrong, get to the point.
I'm genuinely curious why you hold these views, I'm trying to make sense of them
Forcefully taking someone's property, even if every being in the universe supports your action, is objectively wrong.
I agree with you that states tend to corruption. What you wrote above does not make sense to me however. If person A believes that object X is their property, while all other persons in the universe do not, what should be done? How is property decided?
You don't know what property is?
Do you have a definition?
Ownership means you are rightfully (i.e. not stolen) in possession of something, you control of its usage, and you are responsible for it. Examples of things I own: My body, my time, my energy, and the products of those things. Something I own is my property.
Do you consider that land can be owned? Animals?
