reminder that i will never do the deed necessary to have a son

Reminder that empiricism is dead and that modern 'science' is a laughing stock due to its love afair with positivism.

scientists have made dozens of amazing discoveries this week alone
what have your ""philosophers"" done this week besides burning private/public funds with cocaine and masturbating to futanari?

reminder that the lie meme is fucking stupid

>scientists have made dozens of amazing discoveries this week alone

Yeah, thanks to those smart souls who reject empiricism in all its retarded forms.

Have fun getting anywhere without some sweet 'n' sturdy synthetic a priori judgements.

Suck on causality, empiricists.

What amazing discoveries were made this week? Just curious.

Nothing this week. But I heard that some madman philosopher killed God not too long ago. And he did it for free.

Some deep sea ocean fish that eats with its asshole or something, probably.

That's the benchmark that's used for 'amazing' in science, nowadays.

this is good bait

this is bad bait

God is dead, and we* killed him

>implying nietzsche had anything to do with secularism/nihilism in yurop

he was just one of the first to make the diagnostic

>should

>moral duty

Should this, ought to that.

I'm doing what I want.

Reminder that this is a strawman argument and Kant would say that a lie preserving a human life isn't unethical.

>what is the murderer at the door

What I think is interesting about 'god is dead' is that it is not just a diagnosis. It can also be seen as a counter-argument to the existence of God. If someone claims that God exists 'god is dead' can be used as a retort. Then the burden falls of the original proposer to prove that God is not dead.

>Hey! I'm a murderer and I'm here to kill x. Is he home right now?
>Yes.
>Great! Great. Okay, so I'll just be letting myself i--
>No.

'Dilemma' solved.

...

And maybe he was using the word God to mean other things too, like Science. Nice double trips

Delete your post.

Nah nigga nah.

Kek. Good work triptrips

>Have fun getting anywhere without some sweet 'n' sturdy synthetic a priori judgements.

kek

Kant himself disproved the possibility of synthetic a priori judgements. Read some Heidegger; ontological knowledge is a myth, which lead Kant himself toward an epistemology reconcilable with empiricism.

Ayn Rand would say that if you value your newborn son over a lie, you will lie. Because you self impose a duty to never lie, you let your newborn son die for no reason. Everything is placed upon a personal moral hierarchy of values.
If telling the truth is more important than your newborn, then he was never important as your own standards. Why would you even have a son?

What if I hate my son and my son is always sick and crying?

Have you read old yeller?

Then you simply have your son lower on your hierarchy of values and you value his life less than lying.

bitch had iq of 115

>Kant himself disproved the possibility of synthetic a priori judgements

That's enough posting for you.

Better than most.

I dislike Rand but that's a fair point.

t. moral relativist

No.

How so?

Read it, but imagine the dog as your son.

this is average bait

That situation is unrealistic, and a third moral agent is required for it to make sense. It's exactly the same as the trolley dilemma

It's even worse if you imagine yourself in the place of the kid, with your father telling the serial killer where to find you
>sorry son, but it's my duty to never lie or else, well, what do you think would happen if EVERYONE lied, so this serial killer absolutely has to know where you are so that he can kill you.
Because of self imposed duty, you would get killed.

>amazing discoveries
Empiricism is required to observe and confirm the existence, capacity, efficiency, etc; of said discoveries.

Empiricism does not confirm empiricism.

Out of curiosity, what makes him Urubochi's arch nemesis kek

Because you can't seem to help but post ridiculous things.

Keep memin

that nigga was a proferssor at a university.
he got paid to kill god
or was at least under a salary
also book sales nigga

Bad poem desu.

You forgot that Kant stated that he only wished to describe what OUGHT to be done. It would be a moral action if you as a father would sacrifice the kid, but Kant also specifically stated that people performed amoral and non-moral actions all the time.

He gave guidelines towards ethics.

this bait can chose to be good or bad therefore it's neither

No, some assholes grew potatoes in "Mars like soil" so we should all bow down to science for bringing us one step closer to corporations mining the asteroid belt.

Urobuchi has an obsession with shoving utilitarian philosophy into this works for whatever reason.

A consistent theme in his work is that utilitarianism, or something related to it, is bad. The obvious example is how Kyubey turns little girls into witches to stave off entropy, while Psycho-Pass is about how fucked-up a society that tries to maintain pristine mental and social health is. Fate/Zero also has Kiritsugu's whole "needs of the many" thing, which he's supposed to overcome at the end by saving one single child from the grailpocalypse, but the whole sinking ship refutation is fucking stupid desu.
