Philosophy / Ends do not justify the means
Reasons to agree:
- Societies should set laws to protect their citizens. +7
- You are a hypocrite if you rely on the law to protect you, but you think you can break the law to accomplish your vision of the greater good. +2
- If you do not like a societies laws, you should leave that society for one with laws that you are willing to live under.
Conclusion Score:
# of reasons to agree: +3
# of reasons to disagree: -0
# of reasons to agree with reasons to agree: +7+2
# of reasons to agree with reasons to disagree: -0
Total Idea Score: +13
Don't like the score? It is easy to change the score. Just post a reason to agree or disagree with the overall idea, or any of the reasons and the score will change.
In the future, to avoid duplication, we will give a score between 0 and 1 to determine if a statement is similar to similar arguments already used as reasons to agree or disagree. Similarly we will have linkage scores that indicate, on a scale from 0 to 1 if a belief can be said to support the conclusion.
So the points that an argument contributes to a conclusion will be represented by the arguments score multiplied by the linkage score multiplied by the unique score, or:
CP = A*L*U
- CP = Contributing Points
- A = Argument Score (Add the scores of reasons to agree and subtract the scores of the reasons to disagree)
- L = Linkage Score (scale from 0 to 1)
- U = Unique Score (scale from 0 to 1)
Even when you do this in Excel it will find your circular math I know I am not explaining it perfect, I am just trying to show how it works...
