I find this argumentation extremely unruly. It can be abstracted out to anything one wants to discredit others on.IJesusChrist wrote:Are you a woman?
Stop talking for them.
Are you a serial killer? Are you a child molester? Are you a corporate lawyer? Are you the President/Prime Minister? Are you a parent?
Pretty soon you find out that you can't speak about anyone else except for yourself because no one else is you and you are no one else. That makes the whole exercise of communication pretty damn pointless. Not to mention that it nullifies law and ends in anarchy.
Have you ever been a pregnant 13-year old girl considering abortion? I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people have not and we'd be in a bind to let only people who have, decide what the law is. I don't know what its like to be a lust murderer, in that case I should have no opinion on the course of a lust murderer, that's the domain of lust murderers.
What a person learns when they experience something is what it feels like to experience something. Everything else can be known without being the person and since we are all very similar we can emulate what it feels like to be someone else. We can imagine ourselves to be a 13 year old girl who just discovered that she was pregnant and that she would be in hell up to her eyeballs. Her parents would probably be really upset, she'd have no time for friends or an education, she'd be forced into adulthood prematurely. If we open ourselves up enough we can even emulate the lust murderer, but that's pretty scary shit, and remember not to stay too long emulating stuff like that. It'd be better not to do it, but sometimes we need to know that its there. I will sure as hell never forget what I am capable of being. It doesn't seem like the majority of people are aware of the potentialities that exist within them. They choose not to emulate other people, they are too caught up in their own world.
