You are a hypocrite if you rely on the law to protect you but you think you can break the law

Page history last edited by Mike 10 years, 10 months ago

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. +4

Reasons to agree:

  1. Even if you say a society's ends do justify their means, you arrive at the conclusion that YOUR ends don't justify YOUR means:  +2
  2. You need laws to protect you (utilitarian consequentialism), so you need to respect laws that protect others (philosophical consistency, honesty, fairness).

 

Conclusion Score:

# of reasons to agree: +2

# of reasons to disagree: -2

# of reasons to agree with reasons to agree: +0

# of reasons to agree with reasons to disagree: -0

Total Idea Score: +4

 

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)
